LETTERS Got Ya, Philly Mag

Give Him a Han

In response to last week’s cover story, a parody of Philadelphia magazine’s controversial “Being White in Philly” piece:

In response to Han Dynasty’s revamped monthly dinners: I’ve been to two tasting dinners and eat in University City at least 2-3 times a week. I’ve tried it all! Honestly, only once did I not love the dish. The whole fish and the lobster is to die for! Incredible. Never disappointed, and the staff literally bends over backward to please you. Especially Han’s sister and cousin. I took my 8 and 9-year-old daughters and they had the dishes prepared with the sauce on the side so the girls could enjoy it, too. I stay away on the weekends—too crowded. Other then that, I’m in gastronomic love! STEVEN via philadelphiaweekly.com

Thank you, PW. Now will you address the real problems with the blank-stare editorial, writing and art departments of Philadelphia magazine? In fact, let’s have a contest to see if anyone who lives in Philadelphia identifies with any snot in that rag. ANONYMOUS via philadelphiaweekly.com Hilarious cover. Lame “article.” You shoulda quit when you were ahead. ANONYMOUS via philadelphiaweekly.com

tioned. I, too, find it hard to be so effin hot. — inVinceWil

From the Twitterverse: Huge kudos to @PhillyWeekly for their hilarious parody of the incredibly stupid Philly Mag piece about how hard it is to be white. Bwah! — CozyHerbivore @PhillyWeekly Thanks for getting it right, unlike some local rag that shall go unmen-

But seriously though: @PhillyWeekly wins the week, the month, and perhaps the whole entire year so far with that cover. — kofiabiney @PhillyWeekly’s mirror needs some Tylenol and a cool wash cloth. The collateral damage of #beinghotinphilly. —joelchoffmann

If you like Han Dynasty and tastings, pop over to the UCity location for the next beer dinner. It’s a five-course meal with plenty of off-menu items paired with different brews from a single brewery, usually with the brewmaster on hand to give a short talk about the beer.

The Honolulu-based Pua Ali’I Ilima brings its masterful hula dancing to AAI.

WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... DANCE

Pua Ali’I ’Ilima

For anyone who dreams of escaping to a Hawaiian oasis—which is pretty much all of us—there’s good news: the Asian Arts Initiative is going to save you the expensive airfare, bringing some authentic island entertainment to you. Founded in 1977 and based in Honolulu, this school of traditional Hawaiian dance (whose name means “the royal ‘Ilima blossom”) has traveled all over the world showcasing the ancient teachings of hula. During their weeklong residency at the AAI, made possible in part by support from the National Performance Network (NPN) Performance Residency Program, the company will acclimate locals to the art form during community workshops for adults and youth, held Monday and Tuesday, all culminating with a special evening performance tonight, featuring a selection of mele hula (ancient-style) and mele ’auana (modern) dance techniques. The show will also mark the debut of E Hui Ana Nā Moku (“The islands will unite and rise”), a piece created by AAI’s artistic director Jeffrey Kānekaiwilani Takamine specifically for the occasion, which uses ancient-style hula movement to animate sacred ancestral chants with the aim of uplifting and rallying people in times of upheaval. Following the hula program, audiences will enjoy a special guest performance by Germaine Ingram, an internationally recognized tap artist from Philly known for her choreography, teaching, oral history and stage production. Last, but not least, be sure to stick around for a post-show discussion on the intersection of art and social change. / NICOLE FINKBINER 7:30pm. $8-$10.

Brown Girl Burlesque: She’s a Shake-a-Ning! Miss AuroraBoobRealis, jazabel jade, Essence Revealed, Jeez Louez—the whole crew of saucy ladies (called the Lovelies) will be coming into town for the world premiere of their first Brown Girl Burlesque all-star show, She’s a Shake-a-Ning!, a roundup of some of the most talented burlesque performers from around the country. “It’s a very sexy, but also thought-provoking take on classic burlesque,” says BGB vet and featured performer Chicava HoneyChild. Adding to the diverse lineup, comedians Robin Cloud and Simone Shif will joining the gals on stage, while Philly poet St. Skribbly LaCroix will be delivering a few of his politically charged pieces as the evening’s host. Although burlesque has traditionally been known for showcasing women of different shapes and sizes, that inclusivity hasn’t necessarily been enjoyed by women of color. This N.Y.C.-based troupe was formed five years ago with the desire to see all women finally represented in the art form. Since first hitting the stage with their debut show, The Jimi Experience, the Lovelies have performed around the country, as well as having been featured in several publications.

Art Uncorked: Art Made Simple Similar to the way that everyone always sings karaoke way better when they’ve had a few, the Woodmere Art Museum in Chestnut Hill is capitalizing on the creative juices found in the mystical connection between creativity and hooch. All you do is show up and pay ($30 for non-members and $25 for members), and you walk away a little more relaxed, carrying a new piece of art that you just made yourself—with lots of help, all as part of a series called Art Uncorked: Art Made Simple. Tonight, the focus is “Painting Made Simple ... Really Simple.” You don’t need paints, brushes, canvasses or easels—just a ride to Germantown Avenue, a thirst for wine and a spot on your wall for a new piece of “artwork.” This isn’t a class where you show up, a model drops a robe, and you make horrible freehand line drawings. No. This is like paint-by-numbers, by the line and with guidance. It may not be your vision, but you made it. And when it’s in your living room, and someone asks admiringly, “Oh, who did this?” You can honestly say, with your chest a little swoll, “I did.” Can’t make it this week? Next Friday, its focus is similar: “Wine + Fun + Paint.” Nice title! Stefanie Lieberman leads both sessions, and no doubt knows how to put people at ease. It seems unlikely that there won’t be some kind of calming classical music or perhaps inoffensive world tunes playing, and chances are that everyone in attendance is simply looking to chill so hard that they won’t even glance over at your paltry skillset. Or they’ll be super-buzzed on booze and will gush over your promising future as a painter. Either way, everybody wins. / BILL CHENEVERT 7pm. $25-$30.

Seminar M USI C

The Mimi Jones Band When jazz bassist Mimi Jones founded the group Jazz Sabroson in 2003, it’s safe to assume she didn’t think the act would take her to international stages on behalf of the United States government. And yet, within three years, she and co-founder/drummer Antonio De Vivo found themselves commissioned by the Kennedy Center and Department of State to participate in an exchange program, performing and educating in Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, Barbados, Jamaica, Nevis and the Dominican Republic—and later in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco and Algeria. Since then, Jones has shared stages with a ton of big names in the jazz world and begun releasing solo albums, all while dedicating her time to nonprofits in her home city of New York. Her sound manages to be super easy-listening without the hint of elevator or CVS overture potential. A multiinstrumentalist, she says she takes elements of rock, jazz, blues and world music in her solo work. Still not convinced? Then hear this: Those of you looking to class up your lifestyle—for at least just one night—should continue reading. Jones’ performance is not just at the Ethical Society of Philadelphia, but presented in accordance with the Women Producers Guild and Jazz on the Square. / RANDY LOBASSO 7pm. $20.

Monday, March 25 SEX

Tricks to Please Your Partner Utilizing OK Cupid (*cough* Craigslist classifieds) might have seemed like a great idea until you realized that placing your most misleadingly attractive photo on the Internet might actually work. Then it did. Congratulations! Now it’s just you, your partner, after-service Sunday brunches and once-a-month missionary-style sex. And, due to the latter, unnecessary boredom. Gynecological teaching associate Kira Manser and an open mind could change all that. The founding member of ScrewSmart, a sex education collaborative that teaches “sex-positive classes” and holds “community events that support sex-positivity,” Manser will be bringing one of her courses on sexual health to the Velvet Lily, an adult shop in Northern Liberties, this Sunday. She’s a licensed social worker who last year told Sexually Smarter she’s set a goal of becoming “a therapist, educator, presenter, organizer and advocate” to “spread the belief that sex is something that can be incredibly healthy and positive.” Sunday’s session is open to women of all orientations looking to spice things up—and let’s be honest, who isn’t looking for a little spice, what with OK Cupid going all mainstream and all? Skip your regular post-church meal this week, and feast on what Manser’s cooking at the Lily. Attendees will get an offer for 10-percent off all in-store purchases. / R.L. 1pm. $20-$25.

The Revival Tour Chuck Ragan used to shred with his band Hot Water Music. The Gainesville, Fla.-based post-hardcore punk act was loud, fast and in your damn face. There’s was also a new kind of punk that commanded respect from music fans afraid of headbanging and studded leather. It was thoughtful, artistic and inspired a new sensibility: No matter how hard you rocked, you could also be intelligent and write a killer lyric. Yet, when Hot Water Music disbanded amicably in 2006, and Ragan started making his own music, it was pretty far from what HWM had created. He was primarily acoustic, folky and owning that nefarious singer-songwriter title. And own it he does. That term may denote the slippery slope into boring and emotional drivel that’s too coffeehouse-like or amateur hour/open mic night, but that is the exact opposite of Ragan and his contemporaries on this now-annual outing that celebrates collaboration, creative expression and spontaneous artistry. The Revival Tour brings together musicians from a bunch of different walks of life and capitalizes on everyone’s collective musicianship and performance power. Anything can happen on these nights: Songs can be improvised that’ll never be played again; Ragan may call on a few of his tourmates to join him on stage and jam, or his guitar-smart friends might just form an impromptu cover band. At the TLA, he’ll be joined by Toh Kay, Dave Hause, Rocky Votolato and Jenny Owen Youngs. They all have lovely, listenable new records and seem to be on Ragan’s page, celebrating the joys of honest creativity and the time-tested folk tradition of humbly presenting songs before an audience. No two shows will be alike. And that’s enough to make tonight’s show worth the price of admission. / B.C. 8pm. $18. With Dave Hause, Jenny Owen Youngs, Rocky Votolato + Toh Kay.

ChaseBall It’s time to get thee to a Phillies game— preferably without getting stuck in traffic. Here’s one savvy fan’s navigation tips.

Spring Guide

>>> continued

he majority of us watch (or, sans cable, listen to) most Phillies games from the comfort and convenience of our homes. But once in a while, it’s nice to get out to Citizens Bank Park to watch a game from the stands. And depending on where you live, getting to the ballpark can be tricky. So you’re going to want to time your trip accordingly. For those heading to the ballpark this spring, we’ve put together a quick reference guide to get you there. And if you don’t have tickets but still want to enjoy a game in the company of other faithfuls, we’ve noted some PW-approved bars to watch the game.

North Philly to Citizens Bank Park. There’s one rule when using public transportation to get to a game: All roads lead to the Broad Street Line. From most places in the city, you’re going to want to eventually hit the city’s only fully underground railroad, because it’ll drop you off steps from the park. There are 20 stops along the Broad Street Line and about half of them are in North Philadelphia. It goes from end to end (Fern Rock to Pattison—err, AT&T Station) in 33 minutes. Northeast Philly to Citizens Bank Park. Let’s be honest. If you live in the Great Northeast, you’ve probably got a car and you’re probably using it to get to a game. If that’s the case, we’ve got one piece of advice you probably already know: Leave early! Because I-95 is a shitstorm, all the time. And in case we even need to say this: Turn on KYW for traffic updates before you leave. If things are looking terrible out there, may we suggest the Market-Frankford El? As we’re all aware, Philadelphia’s elevated train line goes all the way to the Frankford Transportation Center and hits 17 stops between the far Northeast and Center City. If you’re not in the mood to drive from Tacony, you won’t be on the Blue Line much longer than 25 minutes or so. Bonus: Free transfer between trains. Northwest Philly to Citizens Bank Park. Perhaps it would be a bit much to call Northwest Philadelphia a laboratory maze of confusing streets I regularly get lost in when trying to get home from McNally’s on Germantown Avenue. Greene Street? Cheltenham? Where the fuck am I? Anyway, if you’re in Mt. Airy, >>>

>>> Chestnut Hill, Germantown, Roxborough, Andorra, East Falls or Manayunk, then you’re probably used to SEPTA’s regional rail—and more power to you! But regional rail fares add up fast. A little relief, then, comes in the form of the 9 bus—and, to a lesser extent, the 27. Back when I lived along Ridge Avenue in Roxborough, the 9 was a savior and got me everywhere, wrestling its way from Andorra to Society Hill. And your bus driver will likely know what’s up; although the bus doesn’t ride Ridge past the Wissahickon Transportation Center (it gets on the Expressway), if there’s heavy traffic, the SEPTA operator may opt for a ride down Ridge Avenue into Center City—and at rush hour, when you’re getting to a game, this can be the difference between arriving for the first pitch or for the third inning. The way home may be a bit tougher, and we feel for you, having to use four tokens in a single night.

Spring Guide

>>> continued

South Philly to Citizen’s Bank Park. You’ve got a bicycle, right? You’re cool walking places? Yeah, do that. And if you can’t, the other half of the BSL’s stops are in South Philly. Fairmount/Spring Garden/Art Museum to Citizens Bank Park. Your best bet is a walk to the Fairmount, Girard or Spring Garden stops along the Broad Street Line. West Philly to Citizens Bank Park. West Philly is a big place, and as with most big places, you’ve got options. If you’re in northern West Philly, jump on that Girard Street trolley and get off at Broad Street for the BSL. If you’re more to the south, hit a Baltimore Avenue trolley to Suburban Station. If you’re somewhat central, then get on the Market-Frankford El Line. It stops at least every six blocks from 30th Street to 63rd, and the transfer to the BSL is free. Keep Your Train in Mind. SEPTA knows what’s up when we need to get to our respective stadiums. That’s why the BSL could be a “Local,”“Express” or “Express Special.” Local is obvious—it hits all 20 stops. Express Special only stops at Fern Rock, Olney, Erie, Girard, Spring Garden, Race-Vine, City Hall, Walnut and AT&T Station. Which means, if you get on at City Hall, your train stops once. (City Hall to the Sports Complex is just 11 minutes!) And if you do take the train, make sure to give yourself 5-10 minutes leeway time to walk in. Driving? Take I-95 the whole way. Get off at Packer Avenue. If you’re an asshole with no shame, feel free to cut the entire line to the exit, which inevitably begins a half-mile-tomile before the Packer. It’s pretty easy to cut, since it forks and gives commuters the option to the Walt Whitman Bridge, too. (It doesn’t look like two lanes from a mile away, but it is.) Just pretend you’re taking the bridge, don’t, and cut someone off. (But don’t say you heard it from me. I’ve heard this referred to as “scumbagging.”) If you’re one of those people who drive into the city for work, take note: Avoid the Center City exit for I-676 at all costs. >>>

>>> Because if you don’t, you’re going to have a bad time. Get to Delaware/Columbus via Spring Garden if you’re north or Washington if you’re south. Wild Card: If you’re a bicyclist, might we recommend a trip along Delaware Avenue/ Columbus Blvd.? The bike lane runs the whole way and once you get past the South Philadelphia Ikea/Wal Mart/Lowe’s shopping area, it becomes remarkably quiet and peaceful (until you make the inevitable turn and Columbus becomes Pattison). But be sure to make yourself uber-reflective, because peeps be drinking, McFaddening and driving home drunk.

Or: Don’t Have Tickets? Watch the Game Here: Druid’s Keep. I’ve got a soft spot for this oneblock-off-the-main-drag Northern Liberties watering hole. Not only do they allow dogs inside, but beers are reasonably priced, the bartenders are friendly, and the best pizza in the city—Plaza Pizza at the small strip mall at 3rd and Spring Garden, where the neon lights in the shop’s window reads “Pizza Buy The Slice”—will deliver to the Keep’s front steps. Druid’s Keep also has a huge backyard and they regularly project sports onto the back wall, with sound. To summarize: Friendliness, beer, backyard, dogs, pizza. Memphis Taproom. Take all that stuff about Druid’s Keep’s outdoor-projected TV screen, get rid of the part about dogs and replace pizza delivery with all around great food off the place’s own damn menu, in the Kensington/Olde Richmond area. Jose Pistola’s. It’s always nice to see a Center City bar that never let itself become douchey. Jose Pistola’s, though only a few years old, is one of those bars. If it’s a weekend, they may, possibly, be playing the game downstairs on the back wall. Otherwise, head upstairs, sit at the bar, and watch one of the several large screens on either wall. Rembrandt’s. The otherwise high-priced, fancy-ish Fairmount restaurant’s bar area is an oft-overlooked spot to hang out and watch a game. There are tons of tables, a huge beer selection and TVs on both sides of the square bar covering two rooms. And if you’ve got a large group to check a day game, it’ll be virtually empty and really accommodating. Oscar’s. This wouldn’t be a Philadelphia Weekly list if Oscar’s weren’t mentioned. Yeah, it gets crowded on Fridays and at lunchtime, but come summertime, this may be the best place to watch evening games any other night of the week—especially latenight West Coast contests—when there are bar spots available. Bonus: $3.50 24-ounce beers and cheap bar food all the time; Phillies beer specials some of the time. —R A NDY LOBA S S O

Not a Tour, a SideTour

Upcoming SideTour Events

One new company offers an intimate way to connect with all things Philly.

t was a weeknight. I could have stayed home. I could have done the I’m-so-bored-I’mjust-going-to-troll-Facebook-andsee-what-other-people-are-doing routine. Instead, I dove into a Polynesian paradise. I mingled with strangers, laughed, learned, discovered a classic era in American drinking history. Guiding me on this journey: Mike Treffehn, a non-certified Tiki expert and artisan bartender at the Center City speakeasy, the Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. Mike is now one of several Philly trendsetters and tastemakers that locals can now spend a few hours getting to know during one of 15 different SideTours. What the hell is a SideTour? Basically, it’s a one-of-akind experience, an opportunity to get out of your social bubble and explore the city through someone else’s eyes. “Each host isn’t a ‘tour guide,’ but a passionate and talented person sharing their perspective,” explains SideTour rep Joanna Ehrenreich. “You get a truly intimate look into their lives and walk away feeling like their personal guest.” So intimate, in fact, that my mixology lesson was held in Mike’s own apartment. Sure, I felt a little awkward walking into a complete stranger’s home only to be greeted by four other strange faces, but it was nothing that couldn’t be quickly squelched with a few friendly handshakes and introductions, followed by three potent, rum-filled beverages. (Note: SideTour screens all its hosts.) Having already launched experiences in N.Y.C., Washington, D.C., and Chicago, last week, the New York-based company officially unveiled its first batch of tours here in Philly. Whether you’re a homebody, thrill-seeker, college student, long-time resident or a Philly newbie, I can assure you there’s at least one that’ll peak your interest. Perhaps you’d like to leave your mark on the Philly urban scape with local muralist Betsy Casanas or roast a suckling pig with Russet head chef Andrew Wood? Single ticket prices for the tours range anywhere from $20-$80, with most averaging around $50. If this seems like a lot, it

the night with a delicious Mai Tai, I was already somewhere between buzzed and hammered. As it turns out, I’ve never had an authentic Tiki cocktail before—and chances are, neither have you. While plenty of people have thrown Hawaiian punch and coconut rum in a glass and called it Tiki over the years, the actual concoctions first crafted by Don the Beachcomber, the founding father of this pseudo-Polynesian genre, were much more intricate. Rather than having us attempt to keep track of all the different rums, flavored syrups and other liquors he used, Mike printed menus for us to take home with the complete recipe for each drink. He also did his best to answer any questions we may have had along the way, even the ones that were completely off-topic. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one preoccupied with all the cool artwork and décor around the apartment. Although I may never be able to make my own grenadine or master Mike’s aggressive, yet rhythmic shaking technique, I did walk away with a greater understanding of and appreciation for the art form—something that I wouldn’t have gotten sitting in a bar or sitting in front of my computer watching a YouTube video. According to Ehrenreich, the most common feedback she hears from SideTour guests are about the connections they made both with their fellow tour-mates and their hosts. “It’s a really powerful thing,” she says. “Think about it with Mike—every time you go to Franklin Mortgage now, you’ll probably check behind the bar to see if he’s there. It will just be a totally different experience.” She’s right—not only will I forever think of Mike when I make or imbibe a Tiki drink, but knowing there’s a familiar face at the Franklin has definitely inspired me to go more often. So Mike, if you’re reading this, since we’re now buddies and all, do you think you could hook me up with some free drinks?

Mike Treffehn

won’t once you realize what you’re getting. The three cocktails included in my tour probably would have cost 14 bucks a pop at the Franklin. So the $65 dollar asking price seems pretty fair. Between the impressive array of libations on his liquor shelf and the equally impressive collection of bartending and Tiki-related literature on his bookshelf, it was clear that Mike was an exceptionally qualified host. The night of our tour, he sent an email to the group with a warning: “You should have a good solid meal before arriving. Rum on an empty stomach is no fun, I can attest.” Having only eaten a small dinner, I’m glad Mike also put a bowl of sesame sticks out, in addition to making sure we were adequately hydrated. We kicked off our lesson with a classic daiquiri, “the great mother of all things Tiki,” before moving onto the much larger, much stiffer Zombie. I recommend pacing yourself.

Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in cash, certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale. The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be a sum sufficient to pay all Sheriff’s costs including advertising, all taxes, water rents and municipal claims due to the City of Philadelphia. If there is no other bid price above the opening bid price, the property shall be sold by the auctioneer to the attorney on the writ at that price. The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly. No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of cash, certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders

SHERIFF’S SALE

made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County. The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudulent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale. Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine. The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale. All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale.

The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court - indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ. Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him.

Spring Guide

Hipster Foodies, Your Time Is Now

The title of the new cookbook from Old City’s Quirk Books pretty much says it all: Cooking With Flowers.

ne Long Islander in town for the Philadelphia Flower Show this month found herself with a rapt audience as she answered a question that, while it may not previously have been foremost in the mind of anyone present, in retrospect seems so obvious it’s amazing we all don’t ask it with the coming of every spring: Yes. Yes, you can eat the flowers. Herbalist and confectioner Miche Bacher was there talking up her new book, Cooking With Flowers, set to be published April 2 by Philly-based Quirk Books. And while it sounds a bit like a Portlandia sketch gone horribly right, upon flipping through the book, PW had to admit that these floral recipes looked pretty damn sweet. So without further ado, we hereby present a short excerpt from Cooking With Flowers, including three of Bacher’s dishes—one of which deploys ham in a manner that looks suspiciously like bacon—and accompanying photographs by her collaborator Miana Jun.

Pansy Tea Sandwiches Traditional afternoon tea is a meal that has fallen out of fashion, but I think it has its place. Tea sandwiches are perfect when you want something light and delicate livened up with flowers. Serve these for a birthday or Mother’s Day luncheon or put them on your Easter plate. Makes 24 sandwiches. 1 seedless cucumber 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature 4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature 24 pansy flowers, sliced chiffonade-style 12 very thin slices white bread (Note: “Chiffonade” might sound fancy—the term is French—but it’s really a simple method of cutting things in long, thin strips. Stack petals or leaves and then roll them in a tight cigarlike roll. Cut across the roll with a sharp knife. This technique is a time-saver that minimizes bruising that can happen when cutting flower petals and herbs.) >>>

Spring Guide >>> 1. Slice cucumber as thinly as possible, using a mandoline if you have one. Lay slices on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. 2. Stir to thoroughly combine cream cheese and goat cheese in a small bowl. Gently stir pansy flowers into cheese mixture. 3. Spread a thin layer of cheese mixture onto each slice of bread. Arrange a single layer of cucumber slices on half of the bread slices. Place remaining bread slices on top, cheese side down. 4. Trim crusts. Slice sandwiches in quarters diagonally so each sandwich makes 4 triangles. Variations: For nasturtium tea sandwiches, use goat cheese, nasturtium flowers and chopped leaves, and butter on whole wheat bread. For pineapple sage and ham tea sandwiches, use pineapple sage flowers and finely chopped pineapple sage leaves, thinly sliced ham, and a thin layer of butter and Dijon mayonnaise on rye bread. For a pretty touch, spread the edges of the sandwiches with a thin layer of butter, and then dip the buttered edges in roughly chopped petals.

Hollyhock Clafouti Clafouti is a humble French confection that’s a cross between a custard, a pancake, and a puffy omelet. It comes together in minutes and is incredibly versatile. You simply pour the batter over cherries or any kind of fruit, stone or otherwise. I have had great luck with plums. Serves 6, or a few hungry teenagers. ¹/₂ cup milk ¹/₂ cup heavy cream 4 eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract ¹/₂ cup sugar ¹/₄ cup all-purpose flour Pinch salt 2 cups cherries 1 cup hollyhock petals (from about 4 to 6 flowers) 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish or an 8-inch square ceramic baking dish. 2. Combine everything except cherries and hollyhock petals in a blender and process until fairly smooth. Make sure you >>>

Spring Guide >>> scrape down the sides of the blender so the flour doesn’t sick to the sides. 3. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with cherries and half the hollyhock petals. Cover with the remaining batter. Top with the remaining hollyhock petals. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until puffed and brown; a tester inserted in the center should come out clean. This is one of those desserts that is fantastic to slip in the oven just as you’re sitting down to dinner and pull out to eat just as the main course has been cleared. Plan accordingly.

Dandelion Ham-and-Egg Cups If you ask me, brunch is the ideal meal. Unfussy and packed full of protein (but just as friendly toward sweets), it is a repast full of smiles. I make ham-and-egg cups for brunch all the time, and this variation with dandelion blossoms tucked in makes for a great rendition of a classic. Makes 12. 24 slices ham* 8 eggs ¹/₂ cup dandelion petals About 1 cup (¹/₄ pound) soft goat cheese, crumbled (optional) ¹/₄ teaspoon sea salt ¹/₄ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

(Any deli ham will work; try a nice maple-glazed ham in a medium cut. Nitrate-free organic ham is another favorite of mine.) 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line each cup in a muffin pan with 2 pieces of ham, overlapping so there are no holes. 2. Break an egg into the center of each cup. Top each with a generous pinch of dandelion petals and a crumble of goat cheese, if desired. Gently slide pan into oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until eggs no longer jiggle when pan is moved. 3. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before transferring cups to a serving plate. Just before serving, sprinkle salt and pepper over top. Excerpted from Cooking with Flowers by Miche Bacher (Quirk Books; 2013).

We’re going to drink as many of these margaritas as possible before this race is over. Couldn’t hurt, right?

Round 2: Smith vs. the Roses Margarita

Will Smith vs. Jennaphr Frederick: We figured there’d be no contest here, since Smith is all uber famous and stuff. But cheers to you, Jennaphr, and your awesomely spelled name. Milton Street vs. the Roses Margarita at Tequilas: Tequilas has good margaritas? Who knew? We could have sworn the only item on the menu was their fried grasshopper tacos. Seriously! Milt, man, the jig is up—again.

It’s two against one, but that one is the one and only Bill Cosby. Seriously, if you become the mayor of Philadelphia, you better give us an interview. And your autograph. (Blush.)

Round 2: Cosby vs. the Seans.

Bill Cosby vs. Gloria Cooper: It makes sense: Cosby was Dr. Huxtable, and Cooper’s that really handsome actor’s mom. Cliff always gets a happy ending, no matter what the contest, so, game over. DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy (the Seans) vs. Rob McElhenney and Kate Olson: Not much to say here, except, uh, here’s to another 4-12 season with the worst Eagles team in a decade?

VOTE NOW AT PHILADELPHIAWEEKLY.COM

Round 2: Anonymous vs. the Bowtie.

Rodney Anonymous vs. Tim Furlong: We’re going to have to ask the Dead Milkman’s frontman as to whether his win was punk or not. It probably wasn’t, though. Sam Katz vs. Glenn “Hurricane” Schwartz’s Bowtie: We’re not sure what’s funnier: that Katz couldn’t beat an inanimate object, or that y’all voted for one. Trust the bowtie!

Round 2: Sykes vs. Croce. The only woman left in the race versus the dude who used to own the 76ers. We’ll see.

Steve Volk vs. Wanda Sykes: Wanda Sykes is a giant of comedy, an international presence. She defeated Volk by a 5-1 margin, and she probably doesn’t even know this contest exists! Just wait until she actually becomes mayor. She’ll be sorry. Pat Croce vs. Terry Gross: Things are usually looking up for you when someone Googles your name and your profile says you’re an “entrepreneur.” But the scholarly Gross is still lovely and talented, and we’re actually kind of glad she lost. Seriously, what would we do without “Fresh Air?”

we figure our new online contest sort of takes the cake: In “Mayor Madness,” we took on the NCAA’s bracket-style playoff formula and asked our Facebook followers, Tweeps and print readers who they’d nominate for mayor of Philadelphia in 2015, and—lo!—you did not let us down. Last week, among those chosen in the post-nominating process were exactly zero politicians (sorry, Milt), five Philly-to-L.A. transplants, a print journalist, a drink, a punk, a tie, and some on-air local news talent. Well, friends, surprisingly large swarms of you have voted—and now we’re down to four brackets, as highlighted below. Something to keep in mind as we move forward: The two finalists in this contest will be profiled in Philadelphia Weekly in early April, so tailor your votes accordingly.

In a world of generally unscientific polling masked as news,

Dear Grads: Get Real

Just finishing college? Good luck. Here’s some tough love from a hard-working young freelancer. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com

is the season for all kinds of doe-eyed college-educated young men and women to leave their existence as a student behind and embark on the significant task of finding work and entering adulthood. A job. A career. It’s almost a laughable concept in 2013. Fifty years ago, you chose a basic profession, and you did the damn job for 25 years, M to F, 9 to 5. We all know that doesn’t happen much anymore. One thing you can count on, though: Whatever it is you’re determined to be—a doctor, an astronaut, a writer, an actor or a truck driver—there are hordes of bug-eyed and determined young people obsessed with getting the same job that you want. And if you don’t match their zeal or top it, you’ll be delivering pizzas and sleeping in your parents’ basement for 25 years. All this isn’t meant to scare you. Well, maybe a little. If you’re graduating from an educational institution, you’re probably smart enough to know that the job market’s a sham. You may have to get creative to do exactly what you think you’re meant to do, what you’ve been trained to do and what you’ve always imagined yourself finding meaning in as a life’s work. Here are a handful of realities: 1. Internships are a necessary evil. The new thing to do for your first few years out of college is to pursue the ideal internship in the field that you’re interested in, especially in fields that are coveted creative fields (film, media, publishing, advertising, curation, etc.). And if you can snag that high-prestige internship, don’t fuck it up. In fact, knock it out of the park because there will be interns who’ve been interning for way longer than they were supposed to and think that if they hold out long enough, they’ll get a job offer. It happens sometimes. But it’s like finding a unicorn on a walk through the forest. Be realistic that it is entirely possible you could have as many as five or eight internships before you get somewhere. This leads me to the next and essential point. 2. Consider alternative forms of income. Pretty much all of those internships will be unpaid, or barely pay. And you’ve got to figure out a way to live and eat and get to said internship. Snagged that free-drone-work gig at Conde Nast? Congratulations: Now come up with $2,000 to $3,000 a month to commute and domesticate. You just might have to bartend or barista. And you know what? That

requires extreme people skills and endless patience. Keep in mind that you’re performing tasks that are not necessarily college-level labor—but meanwhile, you get to play creativeprofessional for 20 hours a week, and those hours are pure gold. Service industry work’s been enabling ambitious 20-somethings to (eventually) do exactly what they want to do for decades now. Don’t knock it. 3. Applying for jobs is a nightmare. It’s pretty much a full-time job on its own. For a year in New York City, I, no lie, applied to about 20-30 jobs a week via Craigslist, MediaBistro and university websites. I never heard from any of them. Luckily, it was meaningful time spent when flat broke in Brooklyn because of dizzying rent and an oppressive need for an MTA card. In the last four years in Philadelphia, I’ve applied to about 30 different positions each at Temple, Drexel and Penn. Number of interviews? Zero. Moral of the story: Be open-minded about the work you’ll find and reasonably commit to. And if the opportunity arises to interview, treat it like it’s the most important thing you’ve ever done in your life. Be overly prepared, and act like if you don’t get this job, you’re

going to starve. 4. Try not to ask stupid questions. Remember how you were once told “There are no stupid questions?”That was bullshit. Thing is, when you’re cold (e)mailing and soliciting for work, the first thing that’ll make you unattractive as a candidate is uninformed or bizarro questions. The Internet’s a doubleedge sword. With it, you can know just about everything there is to know about a company, their practices, their problems—hell, you should be able to find the person you’re pitching on LinkedIn and, without sounding stalkery, compliment them on something they’ve done or accomplished. I wouldn’t dream of writing to an editor and simply asking “How can I write for you?” You bring an extremely thought-through suggestion of how their publication is missing something, you’ve got it, and you know how to execute a very specific task. Same goes for every job request. Cover letters where you swap out companies, addresses and positions are going to get you nowhere. 5. Have reasonable goals. It’s true that as you get older, your hopes and dreams will change. If you want to be educational debt-

free, married, with child and a homeowner with a 401K by 30, you’ll probably be sorely disappointed. Be willing to morph with the times. Don’t beat yourself up because you live with your parents for a year after college. Don’t fret when it takes five years to start a career in the field you really care about. You may actually go through a different full-time job a year until you find one that doesn’t make you want to kill. 6. Think extra seriously about graduate school. It’s extraordinarily depressing when you read about people who’ve put themselves through law school or an MBA program, can’t find a job, AND are now saddled with massive, near-suffocating debt. Grad school can wait. It’s a lovely little respite from the crippling reality of job hunting. But when you come out on the other end with lifelong debt, and you still can’t find a job, you’re really going to feel like there’s no right or wrong in this world. Sometimes it’s the candidate with the sharpest cover letter, not the prettiest resume, that gets the interview. 7. Despite it all, don’t give up. Endure the punches, and stay optimistic. And maybe rewatch Reality Bites. 

Is Gay Marriage on the Horizon? The road to marriage equality might finally be visible in Pennsylvania. By Randy LoBasso // rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com

As it happens, A R D E N T H E AT R E C O M PA N Y P R E S E N T S we’ve been two steps behind our neighbors to the north and west on this issue. And it’s sort of tough to figure out why that is.

ally legalize gay marriage in Pennsylvania. “What [Section 3 of DOMA getting struck down] will create in the immediate aftermath is three classes of people in each state: Heterosexual people who can marry and divorce; gay people who can’t marry or divorce; and gay people who can be married but probably don’t have divorce mechanisms in place,” he noted. In layman’s terms, that means if you’re from Pennsylvania, you’ll be able to leave, go to New York, get married and come back. Then you will be a gay Pennsylvanian who is married—but cannot get a Pennsylvania divorce. “There will be a race to the Supreme Courts once that happens,” he continued. “The state Supreme Courts, potentially 50 of them, are going to have to determine not necessarily how they view marriage equality, but how they view the mechanisms that are put in place to handle people who have been legally wed.” Most divorce laws in most states don’t address marriage equality. And state legislatures vehemently against gay marriage will likely note that while they can’t prop Section 3 of DOMA back up, they also do not have to put in place laws that allow their gay married citizens to divorce. Sims noted the issue will likely then go from the state Supreme Courts to the federal appeals courts, half of which, based on their political swing, may rule gay marriage legal. And when the appeals courts split, it’ll go to the U.S. Supreme Court. But how long’s that going to take? About seven to nine years, Sims said. And before it can come to fruition, Pennsylvania has other equality issues the Legislature will need to deal with—mostly anti-discrimination, bullying and hate-crimes legislation, all of which are currently sitting in the Harrisburg. “And recognize that within the next year,” added Martin, “there are going to be other states that come on board with marriage equality. I think sooner or later, I guess in much less elegant terms than Brian just put it, I think legislators are going to have to face the mess.” 

Beer and Wine: a Love Match A West Coast brewery promises an auspicious Philly debut. By Brian Freedman // bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com

Let it flow: A new tequila-barrel-aged porter is coming to Monk’s Cafe. (Photo courtesy Firestone Walker)

wo of the great liquid loves of my life, wine and beer, are far too often spoken of as if there’s an unbreachable gap between them. For too many, the world is populated by either wine people or beer people. Which, of course, couldn’t be further from the truth, especially in these heady days of exceptionally affordable and highquality wine, as well as beers that possess all the character and nuance of their grapey counterparts. Last week, on a wine-tasting trip to Paso Robles, Calif., I had the opportunity to visit Firestone Walker, a brewery that is taking full advantage of its location in world-class wine country and producing a line of beers that span the distance between the worlds of wine and beer with astonishing success. In fact, they’re proving that there really isn’t all that serious a divide to begin with. Plus, my visit couldn’t have come at a better time: This spring, our own Monk’s Cafe will be releasing a Firestone Walker beer brewed in collaboration with one of Monk’s co-owners, Tom Peters. I didn’t have the chance to taste it at the brewery, but it sounds fantastic: An

imperial porter that was aged in tequila barrels. That beer, in fact, is typical of the sort of creativity and guts that this standout brewery is known for: Under the passionate leadership of partner and brewmaster Matthew Brynildson, Firestone Walker, in addition to its remarkable lineup of first-rate pilsners, ales and more, boasts a barrel-aging program that is nothing short of stunning. “We maintain about 2,000 barrels in our barrel-aging program here in Paso [Robles],” Brynildson says. “And we have another 400 or 500 barrels in another aging program down in Buellton that we call Barrelworks. So basically, we have the barrel fermentation program, where we’re doing primary fermentation with regular yeast, making straight-ahead beers. We have the barrelaging program using spirit barrels, where we’re taking big strong beers and soaking up all sorts of interesting spirits characteristics and barrel characteristics, letting the beers mellow. And then we have a third program in Buellton called Barrelworks where we’re actually sparking a secondary fermen-

tation in the barrels ... and doing these wild ferments with whatever micro-flora is in the wine barrel prior to us getting them.” And once a year, in what seems to be a proud bird-flip to the fallacy that the worlds of wine and beer are destined to be forever separate, they invite the region’s top winemakers to compete to create the best beer blend they can from a set range of Firestone’s beers. The winning recipe is then used as the basis for a special anniversary bottling of Firestone Walker beer. The results—I tasted four previous releases—are phenomenal. And they prove once again that not only is the supposed divide between wine and beer lovers completely bridgeable, but that the professionals who craft each have the ability to work together to create something new and thoroughly exciting. And in a couple months, we’ll have a chance at Monk’s to experience something brewed just for our taste buds first-hand, aged in barrel and crafted with a sense of vision and care that’s familiar to serious lovers of both the grape and the grain. 

RECENT REVIEWS BAR FERDINAND 1030 N. Second St. 215.923.1313. barferdinand.com Cuisine: Spanish. A recent menu started with a single deep-cupped oyster—the magnificently named Shoregasm— anointed with a spiced apple granita. It worked as an hors d’oeuvre, a warm-up lap and a palate-cleanser all at once, and was swiftly followed by house-cured salmon. Three velvety slices, subtle with the aromas of soft herbs like mint, basil, dill and cilantro, were each wrapped around a spray of pea shoots exploding from their ends like cartoon contrails on an animated comet. Tender duck prosciutto with red-wine-cooked pears tasted of dark spices and game. Oxtail luxuriated in a pearl-onion agrodolce dotted with roasted cloves of garlic and a magnificent homemade demi-glace. The aptly named “three little pigs” may cause quivers of joy among a certain segment of the city’s more pigpassionate foodies, the rail of meaty pork belly given snap from a scattering of crispy pig ears like beautiful non-kosher Fritos, and even further decadence from the puck of fried diced trotter, all that gorgeous, funky richness cooked down into something that melted on the tongue like swine-butter. (B.F.) BAAN THAI 1030 N. American St. baanthaiphiladelphia.com Cuisine: Thai. Attention to the minute differences in flavor and texture are what lift many of the dishes here above the fray. The generous green dumplings arrived still sizzling from their stint in the oil, a lacy, intricate carapace of wafer-thin happiness clinging to their sides. Inside was a joyous gathering of water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, leeks and shiitakes, all of it homemade, all of it infinitely better than the majority of what you’ll taste elsewhere. Ped yang was anchored by sliced barbecued duck with skin so crispy it reminded me of some kind of perfect hybrid between Peking duck and fried chicken. The meat itself played well off its ginger sauce, and the portion size was more than generous. Kang-dang red curry found the happy intersection of creaminess from coconut milk and perfectly dialed-in spice from the curry paste. The result was a dish that kept evolving throughout each individual bite, the first impression lush and almost fruity, then building to a pleasant sizzle that never overwhelmed. (B.F.) CITRON AND ROSE 370 Montgomery Ave., Merion. 610.664.4919. citronandrose.com Cuisine: Updates on European Jewish cuisine. Silky orbs of grilled-then-pureed liver glistened in their sour-cherry gelee, the enrobing layer like some kind of couture for offal. These were impaled on toothpicks and set atop a soil-looking mass of cocoa nibs and pumpernickel bread crumbs, lightly pickled baby carrots and raw turnips and radishes scattered throughout. It looks like some kind of beautiful diorama of a farm, and finally makes clear the potential for chopped liver to be a star outside of Grandma’s kitchen. The chickens that gave their lives for this dish did not die in vain, nor did they for the more classic preparation of rotisserie-roasted breasts and thighs. Whole birds were marinated in honey, paprika, lemon juice and more, allowed to dry for several days (almost Peking-duck style), and then roasted on the spits rotating behind the chefs in the open kitchen by the bar. A breast and thigh, as well as their accompanying potatoes, were finished in a pan with schmaltz, or

rendered chicken fat, and arrive glazed an evocative shade of red-brown. (B.F.) ELA 627 S. Third St. 267.687.8512. Cuisine: Modern, creative American. This ambitious restaurant in the former Ansill space in Queen Village is well on its way to becoming one of the city’s most interesting, rewarding destinations. The skate arrived curled up like some sort of loose nautilus shell, its butter-browned flank a visual reference to the addictive whole-grain mustard crisps off to the side. A massive portion of thick, subtly gamy duck magret, the center glistening like a ruby, found its counterpart in a silky puree of smoked butternut squash. Cichonski’s banh cam—the beloved glutinous rice and mung bean spheres of Vietnam—are made his own with the addition of truffle and rosemary for aromatics, white beans instead of mung, and mashed potato flakes for texture. The result is reminiscent of an oversized, gnocchi-like orb encased in a lace-thin carapace, a fresh, successfully idiosyncratic homage. Get in while you can. I have a feeling, in another few months, once the national press “discovers” it, landing a table will be a justifiably difficult endeavor. (B.F.)

LOCO PEZ 2401 E. Norris St. 267.886.8061. locopez.com Cuisine: Mexican-American done right. Loco Pez seems to be a nice middle ground where all people can feel comfortable. It’s a bar with a sense of inclusion, humor ... and damn good tacos and drinks. Carne asada was the most familiar, the short ribs tender and deeply seasoned with cumin, as well as Worcestershire and soy. Taco al pastor is nearly halfway between dinner and dessert, the distinct whiff of cinnamon and clove in the tender chunks of pork combine with the pineapple in ways that are distinctly reminiscent of an old-school pineapple upside-down cake. Order two of these. The menu encourages overconsumption. On the drink tip: The margarita at Loco Pez is a balanced gem, neither teeth-suckingly tart nor cavity-causing sweet. For something more adventurous, check out

the Monte Carlo, whose sweetly perfumed hibiscus water is balanced out by an in-house infusion of tequila and chipotle. Simple food prepared with confidence and care, and served in an atmosphere that’s welcoming and un-self-consciously cool. (B.F.) HAWTHORNES CAFE 728 S. 11th St. 215.627.36012. hawthornescafe.com Cuisine: Deceptively ambitious American. The weekend brunch at Hawthornes finds a delicate balance between the sort of morning comfort most of us require, and a kind of flavor-driven ambition that sets it apart. French toast—really more of a thrice-cooked bread pudding—is a standout. Tucked inside the crisp edges is a dense-yet-light center that’s silky with a bit of every sort of bread the kitchen uses here: brioche, challah, multigrain and more. It’s hearty and elegant all at once, and calls out for a side of some sort of meat. A recent pancake special—there’s a new one every week—saw the flapjacks bright with Meyer lemon’s perfume and topped by a beautifully turned out blueberry compote, its own sweetness tempered by vanilla- and almond-scented cream cheese. (B.F.) KILIMANDJARO 4317 Chestnut St. 215.387.1970 Cuisine: African Pull into the shopping center at 43rd and Chestnut, walk through the unprepossessing door, and enter a whole new world, borne along by food that rarely falls short of the utterly delicious. Start with an order of fataya, homemade beef patties built on a grind of meat so intensely flavorful, so impeccably perfumed with a hint of bell pepper’s vegetal brightness, a note of spice heat giving shape to the otherwise sweet notes of onion, that you may very well look at your next meatball, or beef burrito, and wonder what you’re doing. It’s encased in a perfectly crisp pastry—think of it as an African version of an empanada, also made in-house—and impossible to stop eating well beyond the point of fullness. Simple grilled tilapia used that ordinarily unexciting fish as a launching pad for a range of flavors from the savory to the sweet and a palette for what Chef Youma Ba calls African salsa. Three

NOM NOM RAMEN 20 S. 18th St. 215.988.0898. nomnomramen.com Cuisine: Ramen, ramen, ramen. Ramen has the potential to be one of the more deeply comforting and affordable meals around, and Nom Nom Ramen, on 18th Street just off of Market, is doing a nice job of promoting it. Shio is arguably the standard-bearer here: It’s built on the base of a tonkotsu broth, amped up with salt and white soy sauce, that benefits from having been simmered with pork bone. Shoyu is more savory still—the addition of soy sauce highlights the darker flavors of the broth, the meatiness of it. Karai miso sizzles with a pleasant, tingling heat. The broth itself, a creamy miso tonkotsu, glows sunset-toned, and the sweetearthy black garlic sauce atop the pork belly provides an excellent counterpart. All of these are wonderfully successful meals-in-a-bowl; if you work in the area, it’s a great under-$10 lunchtime option. Or dinner. Or night-out snack. (B.F.) STATESIDE 1536 E. Passyunk Ave. 215.551.2500. statesidephilly.com Cuisine: Contemporary, casual American, focusing on domestic (and local) ingredients. Executive Chef George Sabatino plays with sourness, sweetness and perfume with an alchemist’s sense of fine-tuning. Beets are punched up with coriander and bay leaf; cauliflower makes a remarkable partner for raisins and turmeric. If you’re in the mood for a de facto pickle back to wash down your whiskey, this is the place to do it, especially considering Stateside’s generous whiskey offerings. It’s with these more comforting dishes that Stateside is at its best. Pork liver terrine is a chunky, funky wonder, the gaminess of the organ both unabashed and primal in the best sense. Bone marrow and truffle sausage is the kind of dish that would give any self-respecting doctor nightmares. Follow the same logic as the rest of the meal: Small portions and big flavors are the focal points. Don’t fight the temptation. Stateside seems custom-made for eating a little too much, drinking a little too much, and regretting none of it. (B.F.) VEDGE 1221 Locust St. 215.320.7500 Cuisine: Ambitious, creative vegan. Vedge, which resides in the stunning space once occupied by Deux Cheminées, does more to bridge the chasm between the artificially distant worlds of the omnivore and the vegan than any restaurant I’ve ever visited. Grilled gochujang tofu boasts three (three!) separate rounds of marinating and arrives in a shallow pool of smoked miso dashi, crowned by a translucent lace of yuba “cracklin,” and accompanied by an edamame puree: soy beans four ways, each of them remarkable. Roasted golden beats are layered on pumpernickel with smoked tofu, avocado, capers and a cucumber dill sauce to perfectly embody the satisfying richness of a smoked salmon sandwich. (B.F.)

WHITE DOG CAFE 3420 Sansom St. 215.386.9224. whitedog.com Cuisine: The original farm-to-table. Cauliflower salad, the thin-sliced florets from nearby Breaking Point Farms, brought together the brininess of picholine olives offset by batons of pear, arugula, knobs of goat cheese and lardons, all of it given posture by a bright apple-cider vinaigrette. Brussels sprouts also had some real love lavished on them: A side portion glistened with a bourbon-maple-chile glaze, which lent a sweetness well-countered by the sprouts’ own nuttiness and a hint of smoke from rendered bacon. They proved to be a perfect foil for the Lancaster County chicken with its snappy, muslin-thin skin all crisped up and nutty. The meat was decadently moist from its hourlong bath sous vide, and its finishing stint on the plancha tightened it all up into a compact, flavorful package. (B.F.) WILL 1911 E. Passyunk Ave. 215.271.7683. willbyob.com Cuisine: Inspired by France, but never beholden to it. This much-anticipated East Passyunk restaurant joins the top echelon of BYOBs in Philly. Roasted hen-of-the-woods mushroom sees its inherently earthy character distilled and highlighted through careful searing and additions of orange zest, garlic, thyme and shallots, as well as less expected hits of a spice blend of rose hips, sesame and sumac. As if that weren’t enough, he accompanies the mushroom with smoked ricotta, a Madeira puree, greens and black radish. The pork belly appetizer could be the swine version of Ecstacy. Like some kind of savory, thick-bacon candy bar, the belly was joined by a winter bean cassoulet that was actually a brilliant play on the classic stew. White miso cavatelli—toothy, dense and delicious—was paired with silky butternut squash that found its flavor opposite in the perfectly calibrated black garlic painted across the plate and lying in wait beneath the pasta.

Woman of the Word

It took three days and seven poems for Denice Frohman to win the Women of the World Poetry Slam.

By Raymond Simon // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

o, Philly! You’ve got a new champion. No, it’s not the listless Sixers or the struggling Flyers. It’s Denice Frohman, a queer Latina poet and spoken-word performer who recently won the Women of the World Poetry Slam in Minneapolis, where more than 70 female wordsmiths gathered to battle in rhyme. The experience was intense. For three days starting March 6, Frohman performed seven different poems. “It’s difficult,” she says of the slam. “It requires a lot of focus. You’ve got to bring all of yourself to every performance because it could be your last.” Frohman participated in last year’s slam but watched the finals from the audience. Her goal this year was simply to reach the finals, and she scored well enough in the two preliminary rounds to make it there. The author claims she didn’t realize what she’d accomplished until a friend pinched her. She quickly refocused. “Once I was in the finals, there was a moment when I thought, ‘Hey, I don’t have to be satisfied with just making the finals; I can go for it!’” she says. The competition included the defending champion, Dominique Ashaheed, and other poetry slam veterans, but Frohman had the audience of roughly 200 lit lovers cheering her on and emerged victorious. The win is no small feat for the 27-yearold, who admits that she disliked poetry as late as high school. Growing up in New York City, basketball was Frohman’s first love— she earned a hoops scholarship to Dowling College—until a chance encounter with Def Poetry Jam dramatically changed her perception. “I don’t have a cute answer for why poetry found me,” Frohman says, “but after being exposed to spoken word, I thought, ‘Wow, poetry can be performed. Poetry can sound like me. Poetry can look like me. I can use poetry to tell my story.’ And that’s good enough.” Since that initial exposure, Frohman has developed rapidly as an artist. Today, she cites poets Audre Lorde and Gloria Anzaldúa as inspirations for their examination of gender, race and sexuality. That’s heady stuff, but Frohman seems pretty grounded. She came to Philadelphia to study education at Drexel University and stayed after earning her master’s degree in 2011.

According to Frohman, “As a young artist and a young professional, I find this a very accessible city. The arts and culture are important here, to everyone from the people governing to ordinary folks. If you have an idea, you can find people and make it happen.”

She’s gotten involved in her adopted hometown, too. In 2010, she appeared in a video for the Philadelphia Streets Department’s UnLitter Us campaign, and she’s program director of the Philly Youth Poetry Movement, a nonprofit that helps local teens develop their skills and talents through

classes, workshops and poetry slams. Frohman’s poetry is still her principal focus, though. She’s currently working on a chapbook and a CD, which she hopes to have ready sometime this summer, plus she’s planning a national tour. And that’s more than good enough. 

Hurts So Good The new LP from Phosphorescent’s Matthew Houck could lead a torrent of emotionally spiked country rock. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com

Older, Bolder, Blacker Philly hardcore future legends Paint It Black are aging gracefully, missing nary a step.

s I write this, I, like many of you, have been listening to David Bowie’s The Next Day (which, so far, is pretty good). His first album in a very quiet decade—for him, at least—Bowie uses the time to seemingly come to terms with getting old. His voice sounds aged, and it is, but he uses this biological inevitability to give his music a different edge. Aging in rock ‘n’ roll has always been a tricky act to pull off, but with a balance of grace and creativity, Bowie continues to show that it can be done. In a press release touting their upcoming Invisible EP, Philly hardcore future legends Paint It Black had this to say: “This new record has been in the works for what feels like a long time. So long, in fact, that it seems like a lot of people, us included, stopped believing it was really going to happen. The challenges of geography, too many bands and tours, and other more mundane aspects of adult life, all conspired to delay and discourage us. But here we are, despite these obstacles, with a new record and a renewed sense of purpose.” Its most resonant line echoes the fabled search for peace in rock ‘n roll adulthood: “It’s about figuring out how to keep making noise even when life quiets down.” Though not as old as Bowie—the band’s members are in their early 40s, on average—frontman Dan Yemin and Paint It Black are vets in their own right. As a regular at the long dead West Philly hardcore house Stalag 13, Yemin spent the ‘90s playing countless shows in our area with his previous bands Lifetime and Kid Dynamite, who’ve also left a famed legacy. After both bands dissolved, Yemin continued with his day job—a gig he still holds today—as a psychologist, working mainly with teenagers. In 2001, Yemin suffered a severe stroke, which, after a full recovery, energized him back into the hardcore scene. He quickly formed Paint It Black, trading his guitar for straight vocal duties and bringing former Kid Dynamite drummer David Wagenschutz with him. The band’s ‘03 debut album, CVA, was filled with minute-long “Woah-ohoh” filled tunes, catchy yet aggressive, with Yemin’s thought-provoking lyricism. (A song title like “Less Deicide, More Minor Threat ...” should tell you what you need to know.) Two years later, Paint It Black released their sophomore effort, Paradise, running down 14 songs in 21 minutes with a rougher, more jittery sound. The group took a sonic steer in a weirder direction with 2008’s New Lexicon, arguably their best. Featuring songs that almost hit the three-minute mark, far more lyrical and experimental—check out the industrial outro of “Gravity Wins”—Yemin and the boys matured their songwriting without missing a step. Next Sunday’s sold-out show at the Church will celebrate Paint It Black’s Invisible seven-inch, their first release since 2009. It’ll hardly be their first time at the venue—and probably won’t be their last. But for these “old” punks, now fathers, their ride into rock ‘n’ roll adulthood has been as graceful as they come.

he finale track to Matthew Houck’s new Phosphorescent masterpiece, Muchacho, is called “Sun’s Arising (A Koan, An Exit).” It evokes a beautiful hymnal of choral-flavored salvation, a fitting finish to a beautiful work of art that is his sixth fulllength but second LP of original content after 2009’s beguiling ode to Willie Nelson, To Willie. Houck’s hand in jangly, sun-drenched rock is effortless, earnest and flawless. The Alabama native and current Brooklynite’s rarely alone in this pursuit (he hires stellar hands to support him on stage and sometimes in the studio), but he’s the brains and the brawn in this outfit. He’s a perfectionist and has a brilliant ear, arranging everything but allowing help in the form of a first-rate engineer named John Agnello, who has worked with Kurt Vile and Male Bonding. The end result is one of the best records of the year and the album to blast once it starts staying sunny. Houck’s always had a bit of a sad soul, and sad souls often make the best records. Isn’t it euphoric when sadness results in absolute beauty? Envision Houck, alone at a bar, bearded and a little bedraggled, an empty shot glass and a half-full pint in front of him, barely engaging the bartender while he composes in his head. His songs legitimately feel beer-born, with a wavering vocal that portrays deep, dense emotion and a hardened sojourn with regret. However, with the use of a little tambourine and some horns, pedal steel guitar and welcome strings, each track becomes a bittersweet moment that reflects the anguish of unrequited love or magnetic attraction rebuffed. It communes with this hurt and converts it into a therapeutic sonic salve. In the way that Conor Oberst captured such punishing hurt on I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning back in 2001, you can grip the pain that comes out of Houck and knead it into a tool of reparative worth. There seems to be a direct correlation, in my mind, to this Bright Eyes-informed melancholy that starts with a melody, a song and becomes an overture of humanity with the help of more instruments and an undeniable penchant for whiskey. As the seed of a gem like “Song for Zula,” it’s easy to picture Houck playing his guitar on a sunny day at a grassy park in Athens, Ga., his fingers trying to keep up with a tune he’s had in his head for days while his friend barely listens, rolling up something beside a brownbagged six-pack. The stellar single’s a tender hymnal that hopes for love while longing for the ability to be loved. Each song on Muchacho reveals new hurt and new sadness. The gentle piano on the bruised “Terror in the Canyons (Wounded Master)” practically conjures the emotionality of a classic like “Unchained Melody,” but beautifully embeds it in a delightful tradition of country music mixed with bluegrass. A spin of this one would earn Houck a welcome spot on

Keepin’ it raw: Matthew Houck, aka Phosphorescent, has one of the year’s best albums so far.

rosters with the likes of Galaxie 500, Calexico, Neko Case, the Feelies, Dawes, Megafaun, the Dodos or M. Ward. If folkie rock a la Mumford & Sons and the Lumineers are pioneering a new era in popular rock, hopefully this is the watershed beginning of a spate of emotionally spiked country rock. This show could be so poignant and pretty, it’ll bring you to tears.  Mon., March 25, 8pm. $13-$15. With Strand of Oaks. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave. 215.739.9684. johnnybrendas.com

Josh Can Do No Wrong The man behind Josh Can’t Cook is stepping up his game. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com

osh Schonewolf and I met at Supper for happy hour to talk about a few things. I sent him a couple links that I’d read and been thinking about: a HuffPost story about gays being bullies to other gays and a New York Times feature about being 20-something and coming to the idea of work in new ways. Schonewolf’s embarking on a new chapter in his life, promoting and producing events, largely gay-themed, and it’s starting to take off in pretty thrilling ways. He’s already somewhat of a big name in the gay community via his blog, Josh Can’t Cook, which he started in 2010. He‘s been featured in the pages of Philadelphia Gay News and has dates’ roommates bug out when they find out they’re going for drinks with “Josh Can’t Cook.” The blog started as stress relief from a soulcrushing finance job he maintained just to have a job. The Temple ‘05 grad studied communications with a TV/media performance focus, but found himself in an office full of women that he wanted to destroy. (Not with malice, of course; just, ya know, because the office environment can do that to a person.) Josh Can’t Cook boasts up to 5,000 page views a week, and it’s not going anywhere; he’s slated to start shooting 20 episodes next week. He’s only made 15 since the blog’s inception, but they’re no joke. Even at three minutes in length, he prepares about a dozen jokes for each and has a crew help him with production. They get made in his home’s kitchen in Newbold, and starting in April or May, he’ll start revealing his new “season” to the world. Schonewolf loves a party, but he’s a pretty atypical nightlife personality. He told me he loves the phrase “Life’s a party; all you have to do is RSVP,” and I really believe he means it. He just likes to throw parties. He threw a Halloween hat party and had a blast with it. Then things got serious, and he made his first philanthropic event debut with a benefit, Josh’s Dinner Party, for New York’s Ali Forney Center

on a Friday night last August. More than 300 people came, and 30 gifts were provided from various area businesses. I was curious about the logistics, so I dug: What does it cost if your event flops? Typically, at a place like Tabu Sports Bar & Lounge, if your crowd doesn’t make it to a bartab point ($500), you have to pay the difference. Schonewolf brought his checkbook, but he didn’t have to write one. It was a hit. This winter, he hosted Josh’s Drag Ball, a fundraiser for Philadelphia’s Attic Youth Center that corralled 15 queens and even pulled one in from RuPaul’s Drag Race (Milan from Season Four). This brings us to one of the primary subjects of our snack chat: We are drowning in drag. Drag’s fun, and we love it. But Schonewolf is interested in bigger and better events that don’t use drag as the primary crowd bait. He and Brandon Robert of PhillyDragopolis are officially working together to produce some big events in the future. Think a locally based Top Chef or a Voyeur-based American Idol. The idea of dwelling in the world of gay nightlife and event production is frightening to me. Gay people can be really mean to other gay people, and it’s sad. It’s something that our own Goddess Isis tries to refrain from with positivity in the phrase “Be a light.” Or as they say in Paris is Burning, “We’re not going to be shady, just fierce.” And Schonewolf is like a fierce Real Housewife. One night at Stir, he asked me for a housewife tagline—you know, the one-sentence self-descriptive introductions at the beginning of each episode. It’s generally a “I may look like this, but I’m actually that.” I improvised “I may be a writer, but I can read even better.” I was pleased with myself, mostly because Schonewolf screamed. “YES!” Well, when I read Josh, I see a light.  Josh runs a party every other Monday at Tavern called Hot Mesh and hosts a party called Ratchet on Wednesdays at Tabu Sports Bar & Lounge.

O >> Fey and Tomlin in Admission

Fey + Rudd = Dud Even the legendary Lily Tomlin couldn’t save Admission.

he great Gene Siskel used to say that his litmus test for any movie was to ask himself if he’d be more interested in a documentary about the cast having lunch. I thought about that line a lot during Admission, which strands a roster of very funny people in a muted, pokey muddle of half-hearted dramedy. Tina Fey clamps a lid on her frazzled Liz Lemon energy, struggling a bit here to play an uptight Princeton admissions officer thrown into a midlife crisis after her longtime live-in bedmate (Michael Sheen) takes off with the nation’s preeminent Virginia Woolf scholar. More psychic duress arrives on her doorstep when an obnoxious do-gooder from a rural alternative school (Paul Rudd) tells her that his latest prodigy just might be the son she put up for adoption 17 years ago. Photographed in 50 shades of beige, Admission is the blandest movie I’ve seen in months. Adapted from a novel by Jean Hanff Korelitz, the movie putters along through awkward, ostensibly comedic situations without ever committing to actual jokes. Director Paul Weitz did a fine job walking the line between silliness and serious business in 2002’s About a Boy, but as he’s done nothing but junk since (cough, Little Fockers), I think we can all just write that one off as a fluke. The morphine-drip pacing of the scenes makes Fey’s dizzy self-deprecation look more like depressive floundering, but at least she gets to play a character. Rudd is more plot device than person, cycling through whatever kind of guy the screenplay needs him to be at any particular moment. I worry that the movies still haven’t figured out what to do with Paul Rudd. He’s handsome in a genial way, but is capable of a harsh edge that’s always startling coming from that Everyman grin. Rudd could be the next Jack Lemmon if anybody still wrote roles like that. Meandering about in such lackadaisical fashion that every one of the film’s 117 minutes is felt very deeply, Admission’s saving grace is a deft turn from Lily Tomlin as Fey’s militant feminist mom. The author of books like The Masculine Myth, she has a Bella Abzug tattoo on her arm and keeps a rifle in the house. Comedy goddesses Tomlin and Fey paying mother and daughter should be a slam dunk, but as it turns out, I’d rather be watching them have lunch. (Sean Burns)

h, where to begin with Harmony Korine’s latest gonzo provocation? Yes, Spring Breakers is indeed an outrage and an abomination. It’s also some kind of masterpiece. Sort of like what might happen if Jean-Luc Godard directed a Girls Gone Wild video, here’s a film that wallows in everything toxic, empty and nihilistic about American youth culture, sumptuously scolding with a knowing guffaw. It’s not just a movie that has its cake and eats it, too. This is a movie that has its cake and then eats more cake. The cake, in this case, would be barely legal bikini babes boozing and drugging it up at a Florida beach party that never, ever ends. Korine hired Gaspar Noe’s genius cinematographer Benoit Debie to prowl around actual collegiate bacchanals, casting a painterly light on the multitudes of jiggling boobs and buttocks. (“The camera is like a tongue,” a colleague commented online. She clearly wasn’t as amused as I was.) Disney child star refugees Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens find themselves very far afield from the Mouse House, accompanied by Korine’s wife Rachel as a quartet of bored undergrads longing to enact that new sacred rite of a young girl’s passage into womanhood: getting blackout wasted and grinding with questionable guys for a week someplace where the music is too loud, and the weather isn’t so shitty. Gomez is the odd girl out, as she attends campus Bible studies, and we’re supposed to understand she’s religious because her name is Faith. The other three are fairly interchangeable and doodle dicks on their notebooks during class, writing notes that read, “I want penis.” They leave Gomez back at the dorm when it comes time to knock over a Chicken Shack so they can score funds for their trip. They’re armed with spraypainted squirt guns and semiotic signifiers, while Korine make his intentions plain with looping, recurring snatches of dialogue: “Act like you’re in a movie.” “Just pretend it’s a video game.” And most tellingly: “All this money makes my pussy wet.” Such tawdry trash is elevated to

the realm of art by Korine’s astonishing command of technique. Debie’s photography alternates between sundappled vistas and nighttime orgies of neon. Editor Douglas Crise shatters the scenes into tiny fragments, overlapping the dialogue tracks with incongruous visuals and skipping from past to present on woozy whims. There’s a slightly addled, impressionistic sensation to watching Spring Breakers as the scenes fold outward and then collapse in upon themselves, suspended in time because the party never ends. And then James Franco shows up to take over the whole movie and possibly the world. As a meth-dealing rapper called Alien—real name Al, but he claims to be from another planet—Franco delivers one of those instantly iconic performances where you can already guess that every douchebag you know is gonna be him for Halloween this year. (Including me.) Barely recognizable beneath the long cornrows, oversized shades and ridiculous grillz on his teeth, he’s armed to the bone with an arsenal of automatic weapons and even more disposable income. Alien is the walking embodiment of self-obsessed, empty-headed avarice, but the key to Franco’s sly performance is that he’s kind of adorable. We haven’t seen a hardcore wannabe-black routine like this since Gary Oldman’s Drexl Spivey in True Romance, but Franco is far too delighted with himself to be so threatening. A guided tour around his consumerheaven domicile, punctuated by ecstatic cries of “Look at my shit!” has just rendered Baz Lurhmann’s upcoming Great Gatsby even more unnecessary than it already was. How can Jay Gatsby top

Alien having a ginormous plasma screen dedicated to only showing Scarface on repeat? “On repeat!” Franco squeals with an oddly contagious joy. Welcoming our gals into his harem by serenading them with a deliriously melancholy rendition of Britney Spears’ “Everytime”on his grand piano, Franco drags out the song’s finale with somber keys and a whispered mantra: “Sprang breeak ... sprang breaaak ... sprang breaaak,” as if the party will never end just by force of his repetitious willpower. Of course, every party is over eventually, and this one closes with the rhapsodically ineffable image of machine gun-toting hotties in bikinis and pink My Little Pony ski-masks. Korine has always been a moralist at heart—after all, this guy made a name for himself at age 19 by penning Larry Clark’s tsk-tsk AIDS exploitation drama Kids. But as a director, he’s been more interested in the kind of ugly outcasts and weirdly soulful grotesques you will only find in films like Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, Mister Lonely and Trash Humpers. The enfant terrible is now 40 years old, and Spring Breakers is Harmony Korine’s horror movie about the so-called beautiful people. It’s angry, envious and gloriously mocking all at the same time. I loved every perverted, conflicted minute of it. 

ON THE RECORD LOW

ON THE IDIOT BOX

ON THE GUEST LIST

The Invisible Way (Sub Pop) Sounds like: Two decades of marital rock beauty is distilled into one of their most approachable and simplest yet—haunting, sparse rock with a touch of doom. Free association: These vocals are supercrisp, and they sing beautifully together. For fans of: Pinback/Wire, Galaxie 500 x Rainer Maria, delicate ominousness. (Bill Chenevert)

PHOSPHORESCENT Muchacho (Dead Oceans) Sounds like: Constant lonelyman crooner Matt Houck loves Willie Nelson, women and the drink—and always pulls together a bang-up gang for a good time. Free association: Houck’s one of the best jangly indie folk rock men in the biz. For fans of: Iron & Wine x Jeff Mangum + Will Oldham, mariachis and sunshine. (B.C.)

>> Fela!

“FELA!” NATIONAL TOUR

DAVID BOWIE The Next Day (Columbia) Sounds like: The 60+ icon’s back with an absolutely killer bang. It’s simultaneously searing and comforting, full of hooks, headbobs, choruses and crashes. Free association: Perfectly produced and, guys, this is a huge Bowie moment. For fans of: Jimi Hendrix + Trent Reznor, Sane Aladdin + Iggy Pop, postmodernism. (B.C.)

ERIC CLAPTON

ORIANTHI Heaven in This Hell (Waterfront Records) Sounds like: The Australian and Greek axe master’s third is extra country, even though she’s mostly goth and metallic, and it’s a little hard to listen to. Free association: Even friends of Santana, MJ and Alice Cooper can fail admirably. For fans of: Kelly Clarkson x Ashlee Simpson, Carrie Underwood goes to Hot Topic. (B.C.)

SOUND CITY: REAL TO REEL Original Soundtrack (RCA) Sounds like: Dave Grohl is pissed that analog is dying and that everything’s digital, so he made a documentary about the legendary studio and its sound board. Free association: Yup, this is where Paul McCartney sings with a Cobain-less Nirvana. For fans of: Josh Homme, Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor, unpolished classic studio rock. (B.C.)

LOITER SQUAD Sundays, midnight, Adult Swim Captive audience: OFWGKTA followers; Jackass fans; people who prefer Tim and Eric-style humor when it’s done by black folk. Moment of truth: There isn’t a show on TV that makes me laugh harder— and makes me kinda ashamed to admit I laugh at it—than this weekly, 11-minute clusterfuck starring hip-hop enfant terrible Tyler, the Creator and members of his Odd Future crew, now in its second season. A pile-up of absurd sketches, Jackass-style stunts and other random acts of ridiculousness, the show is blatantly—and proudly—silly. The season premiere, which featured appearances from formerly absent Odd Future member Earl Sweatshirt, at least hints there will be more structure to the silliness this go ‘round. Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (Craig D. Lindsey)

PREACHERS’ DAUGHTERS Tuesdays, 10pm, Lifetime Captive audience: Reality-show watchers; adolescent bad girls; pervs. Moment of truth: This new reality show from Lifetime, which follows the wild lives of three teenage preachers’ kids, has gotten some negative reactions from irate preacher parents. My question: Can you blame them? It seems this show paints daughters of clergymen as sex-crazed nymphets. One is a former wild child who now has a baby, while another aspires to be a porn star. Even the least libidinous of the trio (who has a former wrestler for a preaching father) still wonders if you actually blow when you give a BJ. As shamelessly watchable as this show is, it still doesn’t do anyone any favors. Emmy or phlegmmy: Phlegmmy. (C.D.L.)

FLASHPOINT THEATRE COMPANY’S “THE BENDS” Through March 31, the Off-Broad Street Theatre. flashpointtheatre.org Overall vibe: Megan Mostyn-Brown’s tense dinner party, with just enough alcohol, information and passive-aggressive posturing among old pals to barrel toward inevitable disaster by dawn. Most memorable moment: When Paul, played to gross-bro perfection by Charlie Del Marcelle, screams, “It was grayer in real life!” Scene stealer: Megan Slater is positively mesmerizing as Lacey, a pot-stirring type all women will recognize as their ex-best frenemy. (Tara Murtha)

Tuesdays, 10:30pm, Comedy Central

ISIS PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS JOHN GUARE’S “LANDSCAPE OF THE BODY”

Captive audience: Fans of dark humor; hipster-comedy nerds; people who miss Craig Kilborn. Moment of truth: Cringe-humor comic/former Late Night with Jimmy Fallon writer Anthony Jeselnik is the latest smug, white-boy comic to get his own show on Comedy Central. (He’s on right after Daniel Tosh and his weekly snarkfest Tosh.0.) Much like in his darkhearted stand-up, Jeselnik skewers sacred cows and tells jokes that go that extra mile to offend, usually with help from his guest comedian pals. Unfortunately, Jeselnik’s controlled comic style prohibits this show from exhibiting the off-the-cuff looseness it so needs. The most offensive part of this is that you hardly have a fun time watching it. Emmy or phlegmmy: Phlegmmy. (C.D.L.)

Through March 31, Walnut Street Theatre. isisperforms.com Overall vibe: Acting students in self-directed scenes from a class at HB Studios the moment before a renowned teacher like Austin Pendleton says: “OK, stop now! You have to do more with this John Guare script than committing it to memory and reciting it like a third grader reciting the Gettysberg Address. Don’t listen for your lines; listen to each other!” Unfortunately for us, Pendleton was not there to rescue this train wreck of a production. Most memorable moment: Director Neill Hartley is a successful dialect coach when he’s not attempting to direct, but you wouldn’t know it after listening to Charles McCloskey portray New York City Police Capt. Marvin Holahan with a thick Northeast Philadelphia accent. Yes, dialects are only part of an acting performance, but in a John Guare play, dialects matter. Scene stealer: When I bumped into Bill McKinlay, the production’s board operator and lighting designer, during the 15-minute intermission, I was tempted to yank his copy of the Landscape script, hop on the Walnut’s elevator and read it at home. This play resides in the same ranks of Guare’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated Six Degrees of Separation—that is, when handled by a competent theater company. (Jessica Foley)

Old Sock (Bushbranch/Surfdog) Sounds like: Well, he’s 67 and still playing, I guess; these reggae and surfy versions of Otis Redding and Peter Tosh tunes are sunny and stonery. Dude’s chilling hard. Free association: Slowhand Lebowski who loves Hawaiian shirts and bucket hats. For fans of: Jeff Beck and the Allmans, Paul Simon x Jack Johnson, margaritas. (B.C.)

Wed., March 13, Merriam Theater. felaonbroadway.com Overall vibe: There was so much to take in that there were honestly moments when I felt like I couldn’t soak it up! Some truly talented and brilliant people shone bright at the Merriam last week. Most memorable moment: Let’s just go there: Michelle Williams was aiight. Love me some Destiny’s Child, but she was stiff as a board on that stage. She can sing. She’s got that gospeldelic instrument, and it’s pretty powerful in person. But she looked nervous, scared, carefully and gingerly making every calculated movement. When you’re on stage with an Antibalas-inspired band full of brass, African drums and extraordinary dancers spinning magic all around you, and it looks like you need a cocktail, something’s not right. Scene stealer: Duain Richmond, who played Fela Kuti, was the glue that held it all together. Fela often wore next to nothing or skin-tight jumpsuits, and, if I’m being honest, I wasn’t NOT looking forward to that aspect of this production. And he did not disappoint. One of my favorite moments was when he lights up a fat joint, during a conversational interlude, and an audience member (whom I realize now was planted) shouted out “Pass that!” He says “You didn’t say the magic word,” and looks at his band who shout, in unison, “Puff puff pass!” The humor was not lost on this audience. It may be prearranged but for a minute, it felt totally spontaneous. (B.C.)

SAVAGE LOVE By Dan Savage // mail@savagelove.net DEAR READERS: I’m off this week. To tide all of your hot and/or kinky and/or sore asses over, here’s a column I wrote 15 years ago. Some newer readers might’ve missed this column when it originally appeared—some of you who were still in grade school, diapers or amniotic sacs back in 1998—so I’m rerunning it now because I still get questions about “gerbiling” on a daily basis. —Dan We were having a little office debate about “gerbiling.” How does it work? Do all gay men do this? Does Richard Gere? Does the animal get shoved up the anus with a toilet-paper roll only to suffocate seconds later? Is it the scratching or the act of killing an animal that gets people off? Why? Can’t this cause serious damage? What gives? Curious Coworkers

TO PLACE AN AD: C: 215.599.7634 E: ssimon@philadelphiaweekly.com

Every day, my mail contains at least three questions about “gerbiling.” In the eight years I’ve been writing this column, I have never addressed the gerbil issue, but now, this week and this week only, I am breaking my silence. Clip and save this column, for I will never discuss gerbils again. Ahem. To begin, I would like to make a controversial statement: I have never had a gerbil in my ass. This statement is not controversial for the reasons one would hope: It isn’t controversial in the, “Hey! That’s uncalled for!” sense, like, say, a woman at a dinner party announcing that she doesn’t have a hedgehog in her vagina. That would be uncalled for, because no one would suspect her of concealing a hedgehog. But being a gay man in America means always having to reassure people that you don’t have a gerbil in your ass—at dinner parties, during family reunions, at funerals, on CNN, at passport control, wherever! For while gay men and, I assume, Richard Gere don’t put gerbils in their asses, not a day goes by that someone—usually a straight 13-year-old boy—doesn’t try to shove one in, figuratively speaking. Hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country, my fellow Americans, leave high school convinced that gay men put gerbils in their asses on a semiregular basis. Unlike our hypothetical dinner-party guest—the vaginal hedgehog stuffer—my denial of stuffing gerbils is necessitated by the accusation. If it were widely believed that women stuffed hedgehogs into their vaginas, then women would have to deny “hedgehogging.” Some background: Gerbil-stuffing is a sexual practice that straight teenage boys in general, and Howard Stern in particular, suspect gay men in general, and Richard Gere (who is not gay) in particular, of engaging in. It works like this: Hold a gerbil in your left hand. Using pliers with your right hand, rip off the gerbil’s lower jaw. With the blunt side of the pliers, knock out the teeth in its upper jaw. Pull all four of its legs off. Leave the tail. Set aside. Take a cardboard paper-towel roll, grease it up, and insert it into your rectum. Tie a string to the gerbil’s tail. Nudge the gerbil into the outside end of the papertowel roll. If for no other reason than to get away from the person who knocked its teeth out, the gerbil leglessly scampers up the wet paper towel roll. When the gerbil drops into the anal cavity, remove the paper-towel roll, leaving the string you’ve tied to the gerbil’s tail hanging out of your ass. The gerbil, now trapped inside your anal cavity, thrashes around, desperate for air. It is this thrashing that provides pleasurable sensations. Once the gerbil is dead, remove it by pulling on the string. Repeat. OK, three things:

1. The type of straight person who believes that gay men engage in “gerbiling” is likely to believe other gay stereotypes: We’re all prissy little swishes, for instance, with clean apartments and collections of original Broadway cast recordings. Yet the same person who believes gay men are prim sissies also believes we’re capable of holding a struggling rodent in one hand while ripping its lower jaw off with the other, and then tearing its legs off and stuffing it up our butts. This is known as cognitive dissonance: the holding of mutually exclusive beliefs. 2. There is nothing intrinsically “gay” about gerbilstuffing. You don’t need two penises—you don’t need penises at all—or an original Broadway cast recording. All you need is one doomed gerbil and one willing butthole. Some straight people have a peculiar need to believe certain sex acts—usually disgusting ones—are practiced only by gay men, despite evidence to the contrary. Fisting, for instance. Straight people can and do fist. I have a file of heterosexual fisting photos, anal and vaginal, that I’ve pulled off the internet; I keep them on my desktop to prove to family and friends that, yes indeed, straight people fist. 3. Inserting a wet cardboard paper-towel roll into your ass is not possible, as anyone who’s ever put anything in their ass can tell you. Now I feel I can write with some authority that no one has ever actually stuffed a gerbil up their butt, perhaps with more authority than I can write that God and angels do not exist. I’ve had conversations with hundreds of outrageously kinky people, gay and straight, who’ve told me the craziest shit: I once chatted for an hour with a guy who married his horse. (He was deeply offended when I asked if his horse was a he horse or a she horse. “I am not a homosexual,” the hetero horse-fucker informed me.) Both in my professional and personal life, thousands of guys have freely admitted to doing the most outthere, dangerous, risky, stupid, kinky stuff. But not once in all these years has anyone ever told me that he, or anyone he knows has ever put a gerbil in his ass. Like the doomed gerbils themselves, this story has no legs. It is an urban legend. But you don’t have to take my word for it: I have proof. If gay men stuffed gerbils in their butts, well, then the pet stores that serve the gay communities would stock gerbils, right? I mean, everything else that a perverse gay man needs is available in your average gay neighborhood, from poppers to butt plugs to bullwhips to sofa sectionals. So if we stuff gerbils up our butts, then pet stores in, say, California must do a bang-up gerbil business. But guess what? In San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood, gay ground zero, the pet store Petpourri sells only pet supplies—no gerbils—and they don’t stock cardboard paper-towel tubes or pliers, either. Animal Farm in West Hollywood, also a very gay place, sells only dogs and cats (which wouldn’t fit up anyone’s butt, not even Richard Gere’s). And guess what I learned while looking into this? Not only do pet stores in California not sell gerbils, but it’s actually illegal for them to do so. According to Marshall Meyers, an attorney at the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council in Washington, DC: “California law prohibits the sale of gerbils because of desert conditions in that state. Gerbils were once a desert mammal, and the state was concerned that gerbils could escape and establish themselves in the wild. It is a form of animal control.” It’s not because gay men stick them in their asses? “No, it’s strictly an ecosystem issue.” 
