Feedback Carried Away

Regarding Jon Campisi’s recent story about young professionals exercising their right to bear arms: Great article! As for the “statistics show most people who carry a gun for protection never have to draw their weapon, let alone fire it” comment, I thoroughly believe that. When I was shot at by street thugs, I was able to find cover, therefore I only readied my sidearm in case the assailant were to come at me. He fled without my needing to unholster. Things like this happen often but they go unreported by the media outlets. When it happened to me just one station ran the story and all they said was that there was shooting and property damage in a normally quiet neighborhood.

What I can never understand is the fact that governors and mayors are protected by police and security personnel that carry guns. So if those public servants are anti-gun, they are in fact saying that their lives are more important than the publics lives.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

Guns don’t kill people, white kids with guns kill people. Of all the stupid things to laud, PW picks paranoid yuppies that carry concealed handguns every day. There is no reason, none, for Philly residents to carry a handgun all the time. People that do have more of a defense fetish than a clear position. Just ask them. I have. They also keep guns in such dubious places as under their pillow or mattress at night, or in their car glovebox or under the seat. It's a psychosis, not a statement.

Great to see a fantastic, unbiased article about responsible folks—everyday people who are utilizing their right to defend themselves. There are enough laws on the books to make nearly anything one does illegal, but then again, when was the last time a criminal really cared about the law. It boils down to taking responsibility for yourself. These people are not freelance cops, but rather people that refuse to be a victim of an assailant. Hats off to you!

Foiled Plans

Regarding Jenny DeHuff’s recent article about the promoter bill: This bill is a disgrace. It could utterly shut down Philadelphia as a city where you can hear vibrant live music of all kinds, all genres. Once again the legit promoters have to carry the brunt of an unfair load, but it effects the little guy who just wants to do a small show even harder. I worry about the constitutionality of infringing on the right to peaceful assembly. And with all the worries about how stretched thin the Philadelphia Police Department is, I am sure that undertaking the bureaucracy this bill will require is just how they have been waiting to allocate their already stretched resources. Bad on every count I can think of, and certainly several I haven’t thought of yet. Philadelphia, the city that smothers its art scene.

MICHAEL TEARSON

via philadelphiaweekly.com

This bill has the potential to erode all of the efforts that have been made in the past 10 years to get young people to move to or stay in Philadelphia. If arts/ music/nightlife events in the city dwindle because of the red tape of this bill, the economic implications could be great.

When the bands can’t play, there will be lost revenue for the bars and venues, resulting in less work for their staff and possible lost jobs. The lost revenue and jobs would mean less money going into Philly’s already empty pocket. Philly should be doing something right now to create jobs, not creating paperwork that would essentially make it impossible to do jobs in events and entertainment.

Bad deal: SugarHouse cashes in.

June 2-8, 2010

•

once a vocal member of the city’s anti-casino faction, with his opposition peaking, unsurprisingly, during his 2007 mayoral run. In September of that year, his campaign manager wrote: “Michael … does not support

gambling as an economic development tool. There is highly controversial evidence about whether the benefits are sustainable over time and whether those benefits exceed the substantial costs of gambling, addition, traffic, public safety and the impact on future economic development.”

The stance was refreshing, and seemed like a mark of leadership— until he took office and quietly wrote casino money into an early budget. So much for that. Nowadays, he rarely discusses casinos—and when he does, it’s

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

Last Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board made an announcement of unparalleled inevitability: upon its completion in September, Fishtown’s SugarHouse Casino will offer table games.

In addition to cliched rows of blue-haired slot-junkies, the Delaware Avenue gambling hall will feature, according to the Inquirer, “blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat and three types of poker.” A veritable wonderland.

In recent years, nearly every development in the saga of Philadelphia’s one-and-a-half casinos—the siting wars, the backroom deals, the Foxwoods implosion, and on and on—has been the source of scrupulous coverage and fiery debate. No detail, from the plight of native turtles to Steve Wynn’s rubbery face, managed to escape commentary. Which is why the reaction to last week’s announcement—a major one, to be sure—was surprising: For the most part, there was none.

When SugarHouse opens its doors, there will be 40 tables available for “gaming” (with, one assumes, more to follow); 300 of the parlor’s 800 employees will deal cards, spin wheels and toss dice. This represents a huge expansion of gambling on the Delaware before g has even begun—yet the gambling our collective response was a tired be we were distracted by shrug. Maybe the heat or our efforts to get all “Flyered up.” Or maybe we’d taken one too many blows in a fight that was rigged from the outset.

Mayor Nutter, if you recall, was

in a notably positive manner. In April, after Las Vegas mogul Wynn left Foxwoods in the lurch, a “stunned” Nutter said, “I’ve never seen anything like this before … I’ve never seen someone more enthusiastic about a project.” The mayor had gone from opposing the building of riverside slots parlors to lamenting that they weren’t rising quickly enough. He must be pleased that SugarHouse, at least, will soon take our money in eight exciting ways.

To stand back and gaze out over the whole episode—from the 2006 bidding to last week’s announcement—is to see a case study in government opacity. It shows the inexorability of what happens when politicians—along with their dead-eyed industry “friends”— want to act against constituents’ better interests. At the start, Harrisburg’s gaming board knelt and asked us, “Would you like casinos on your waterfront?” We frowned and said, “No, we really don’t.” The board grinned, patted our heads, and promptly gave us two. Outraged, we wrote, protested and held mock votes; some grabbed bullhorns; a few were arrested. We cared deeply about this. But none of it mattered.

I’ve long ago given up expecting to be impressed by government, whether it be local, state or national. Not because I especially dislike politicians, or because I like one party less than another. The trouble is that the business of government is kept so intentionally out of our reach. This is no secret, and my saying so will surprise no one.

Yet what is surprising is that each day, against all reason, we strive to close the gap. We read the news, think about the issues, debate with friends and foes. If we’re fortunate, these simple acts of citizenship help us feel that the gap has, if not disappeared, at least narrowed. We think we’re a part of the show; that our representatives are actually that. Far too often, though, something emerges—a Hans Blix report, a statehouse scandal, a PGCB vote—that dispels the whole illusion. We see that our desires were never their concern. Of course they weren’t.

As to the casino affair, I understand that budgets need to be balanced, and that money must come from somewhere. If it has to come from our pockets on a crummy SugarHouse Saturday, then I suppose that that’s where it will come from. We have no other choice, that much has been made clear. And if we can keep cops on the street and libraries open, maybe our guilt over what’s happening to those slot-bound pensioners—and the working folks getting killed at the craps tables—can be massaged toward justification. ■

The Budget’s Collision Course Relationship between Council, mayor to blame for our sorry financial state.

By Aaron Kase akase@philadelphiaweekly.com

Councilman Bill Green (below) said Council didn’t get enough credit for saving taxpayer money.

When he didn’t get his way, Nutter lashed out at city workers, threatening to slash two incoming police classes, close two fire companies and decrease library service to four days a week.

We forgave last year’s clumsy assaults on the libraries as rookie mistakes by an inexperienced mayor. This time, we are forced to seriously consider whether

June 2-8, 2010

that word got out he was willing to drop the rate to .75 cents per ounce.

“Had he tried to negotiate earlier on, maybe something could have been worked out. Maybe not. People had already made commitments,” Blackwell said.

That would be commitments to the beverage lobby, by the way.

The other narrative on the soda tax is that the mayor wanted the national recognition for being at the forefront of the fight against obesity. That’s a much better reason to be on CNN than for flash mobs.

Do you think Council would grant that kind of victory to the mayor?

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

We’ve had two weeks to think it over, and the budget still sucks.

For the second year in a row, the city is facing a major tax increase.

This time it’s in the form of a 9.9 percent raise in property taxes, after last year’s 1 percent sales-tax bump.

Despite the recession, Philadelphia is the only city in a group of 13 peers to raise a broad-based tax two years running, according to a report by Pew Charitable Trusts.

The biggest losers out of this budget, of course, are the residents of Philadelphia, who are left wondering if the city will accept the moths fluttering from our collective wallets in lieu of real money.

Just as troubling as the financial repercussions, the budget and the process that led up to it shed light on serious dysfunction among our elected officials.

Were there options that could have prevented or lightened the property tax raise? Of course. There are always options. But with City Council and Mayor Nutter unwilling or unable to work with one another to find compromise and creative solutions that work, property taxes are what we get.

The highest-profile alternative was Nutter’s soda-tax proposal. In its original incarnation, it was projected to raise about $77 million per year.

The soda-tax plan was not without its flaws, but its biggest selling point was that it would be a tax of choice. If you own a house, you have to pay property taxes, but no one forces you to drink Coke.

But as we found out, Coca-Cola holds more sway in this town than our own mayor.

“I thought it would hurt across the board, from the store owners to the shoppers,” said Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell, who opposed the tax.

Blackwell said that Council might have been willing to listen had Nutter shown more flexibility on the rate of 2 cents per ounce.

At least in public, the mayor had indicated all along he was open to input and willing to negotiate. However, it wasn’t until a week before the budget passed

Nutter is harboring some kind of shadowy anti-literacy agenda.

There were other options on the table.

Councilman-At-Large Bill Green had identified more than $30 million in additional savings beyond this budget’s $48 million in cuts. Green’s proposal contained no layoffs, instead eliminating unfilled positions across various departments. In some cases, those jobs have been vacant for over six months.

Can they really be considered essential to providing city services?

Green and Nutter aren’t supposed to like each other, though, with Green bashing the administration at every opportunity. It’s hard to imagine Nutter granting the councilman political points by acknowledging that his suggestions have merit.

He’d rather lay off librarians.

Another frustration is that the city doesn’t even collect on taxes it’s already owed—$582 million outstanding, according to Revenue Commissioner Keith Richardson. There’s a tax amnesty ongoing in which the city hopes to gross maybe $40 million, not even 10 percent. No one can figure out how to recoup the rest, so law-abiding citizens will just have to pay more.

Immediately after passing this unfortunate budget, Green and fellow Councilman Darrell Clarke had the audacity to give self-congratulatory speeches about what a good job they had done.

“This Council stepped to the plate,” Clarke said. “We have passed today a reasonable and responsible budget.”

And Green complained that they didn’t get enough credit for saving taxpayer money.

We have entered a very strange era when a 10 percent tax hike is considered savings.

To recap: We pay. The mayor looks ineffectual and increasingly erratic, while Council comes off as out of touch and malleable by special interests. Neither branch of government seems capable of supporting or working with the other, which doesn’t exactly fill us with optimism about our ability to meet future challenges.

Nobody wins. Except Coca-Cola. ■

In this case, I miscalculated three crucial variables: duration, volume and rate of consumption.13 I also neglected to factor in the size of my bladder.14 Instead of pacing myself for a marathon, I took off in a sprint.

Propelled by Original Sin pear cider,15 I went down the line pounding potent samples. By the time I hit the John Henry Spiker Ale,16 I was bloated and lethargic. From the looks of it, so were you. I chugged some water and joined you in an awkward, painful dance around the port-a-potties. I overheard conversations— grounded, earthly conversations—that made me feel at ease.17 These weren’t the beer snobs I’d expected.

These were my kind of people—smart, vulgar, funny.

percent of the beer-drinking population when broken down by occupation, but they consume 24 percent of the beer. The difference for men and the 21-27 age set was 8 and 7 percent respectively.

12. “These brewers have indeed perfected producing weak, flavorless beer at an efficient price,” notes Nate Gefvert, a homebrewer who won the 2009 Philly Beer Geek competition. “They are designed to be approachable, average and thin … and so anyone who knows beer by their vapid definition can quaff either one without difficulty.”

4. Unless you count cough medicine or accidentally ingested mouthwash.

5. My father celebrated his 25th year of sobriety in March. He helped run the bar for almost 20. Amazing.

6. For the record, a housemate’s brother thought this was a great graduation present.

7. The first stat is based on 2008 data. The second is based on 2008 and 2009 and includes exports.

8. Case in point: As I wrote this paragraph, I heard the virtues of the “new” Miller Lite Vortex bottle on Radio 104.5.

At the beer distributor, I saw you pacing in the aisles before gravitating to the brands you knew. There were so many choices, so many unfamiliar names, but more often than not you selected a Bud, Miller or Coors product.

This wasn’t surprising.

Anheuser-Busch and MillerCoors produce eight of the 10 most popular beers in the United States and control almost 80 percent of the market share, according to Beer Marketer’s Insights.7 Naturally, they’ve been watching you, too.

These brewing companies see a plethora of options popping up in the Philadelphia market,

2009 report by Gallup. The polling firm found that beer’s popularity has declined since 1992, when Gallup first surveyed Americans’ drinking preferences.

Back then, 47 percent of the respondents drank beer most often, while 27 percent drank wine. In 2005, wine topped beer in the Gallup Poll, and beer has since regained only a six-point lead.9 Anheuser is optimistic that the beer industry will continue to “grow steadily—fueled by the growth of key demographic segments.”10 Their coveted targets include baby boomers, blacks and Latinos.

But the biggest opportunities lie in the high-volume drinkers—men, the 21 to 27 age set, the blue-collar worker—whose beer consumption is enormous relative to the size of their population.11 I guess that’s good news for MillerCoors, which banks on the same formulaic lagers.12 It seems that the industry leaders don’t want you to pay much attention to flavor. Their clever commercials and devotion to packaging gimmicks suggest that they want you to think you’re all the same—a bunch of bland, sport-obsessed Neanderthals. I think you’ve heard the odes to Philadelphia’s beer selection, and I know you’ve seen your options. I even saw you cheating on Big Beer at the Navy Yard.

I took my first sip of beer when I was five or six. I distinctly remember the taste, the smell. It was bitter, acrid.

I didn’t take my second sip of beer for another 13 years. My father’s sobriety was precious to him, and out of respect for his abstinence I became a teetotaler.4 Still, I was curious about beer and its devoted drinkers. I spent countless hours in my grandfather’s bar watching the regulars pound PBR, Budweiser and Yuengling while my dad did inventory in the basement. 5 They taught me how to throw darts, shoot pool, play video poker, but never once did we discuss beer.

Beers were like extra appendages for them—so present, so conspicuous that no explanation was needed. The bar was a place for sports and gambling, not a place for experimentation.

By the time I finished high school, my resistance to alcohol had withered. It was obvious that college would be dull and difficult if I didn’t give cheap beer a chance. So I did, in a blackout binge.

Senior Week 2000 started with three cases of Coors Banquet Beer6 and a bottle of butterscotch schnapps. It ended abruptly in the wee hours of the morning with me scooping turds and shit juice off the bathroom floor with a Pringles can. Still wasted, I failed to notice that someone had clogged the toilet.

The trip was a lesson in tolerance—and plumbing— but it left me with only a primitive understanding of beer. College was slightly more enlightening.

Like most broke college students, I drank a lot of Keystone Light. I was adventurous only when I had some extra money, or when some generous soul was willing to share a brewdog from his private stash. My tastebuds awakened over time, and soon I was trying styles of beers I never knew existed. Samuel Adams is largely to thank for this. His seasonal samplers introduced me to an array of ales, porters and stouts; bocks, lagers and lambics. More importantly, he taught me that beer wasn’t just for getting drunk or getting laid. He taught me that beer could be an enjoyable experience in itself.

Having answered nature’s call, I resolved to pace myself, to atomize the elements of taste and ruminate on them. For the rest of the night, I let each sip linger on my tongue and register with my taste buds. I found myself drifting toward the smells of porters, stouts and ales—toward the dark, the malty, the rich in flavor. You were trying everything in sight. You couldn’t help yourself. There were so many exquisite local beers, worlds more evolved than the stuff you drank in college.

Finally, it was my turn, and as I stepped into the darkness my cell phone shed light on something that nearly made me piss my pants laughing. In the garish blue light I could see the missing link, a sleek, slimy creature from the deep. Someone had shit not on, not in, but next to the toilet seat.

Naturally, I began to wonder about the origins of this foul fossil. Was it the excrement of an aspiring Duchamp? An incontinent sorostitute? A professor of poology? Who knows? It could’ve been anybody, really.

But I couldn’t overlook the significance.

No matter how discriminating our taste,

no matter what sex or religion or race we represent, shit happens to all of us and all of us happen to shit. There is something obscenely comforting about this. Still smiling, I exited the john and said this to the next guy in line: “Hey, man, someone left you a surprise in there.”

I was just getting acclimated to the taps when you stumped me with your request for something fruity and sour. Instead of surprising you with my best guess, I consulted the guru, Standard Tap’s Ron Johnson, whose knowledge of beer is nuanced and wide-ranging. He gauges your taste and expertly directs you to a suitable replacement.18 It was Cinco De Mayo, and Ron was gracious and patient enough to let me tend bar with him.19 For two hours, I observed your drinking preferences firsthand and didn’t know what to make of them. You asked for something “light with bite.” You asked for something hoppy and delicious. Your

taste was all over the place, but more than anything you favored the firkin.20 This Weyerbacher Belgian Ale was more bitter than many ales I’d tried, but made up for it with its strong, smooth goodness. Flavor aside, it seemed that you were drawn to it for a few reasons.

The firkin was a novelty, gleaming above the Kenzinger kegerator tap. There was only so much of it, the free sample preempted any buyer’s remorse and at $5, the price was right.

Just as I was starting to make sense of all the complex computations that influence your beer-buying decisions, Ron’s voice derailed my train of thought.

“Do me a favor?” he asked.

For the second time I turned to find him hoisting a tequila shot, smiling. I obliged my mentor and passed the point at which I could still come to valid conclusions. Again, my alcohol consumption had cut the experiment short, but I didn’t care. I was durnk for the first time in weeks and enjoying every second.21 In the haze, I saw your awkward first date unfold. Your companion said Blue Moon was a good beer and you scoffed at him, made him feel like an ignorant rube. You hated the way people twisted their oranges and drowned them in the glass. The garnish is there for a reason, you said.

See? You’re learning.

V. ASK THE EXPERTS

Although I’d tainted both my experiments, I wasn’t ready to give up on the study. I wasn’t ready to give up on you. I knew Philly was teeming with beer expertise, and I believed I could get to the core of your drinking habits by asking the experts. 22 They seemed to have as many questions as I. 23 But, nonetheless, here are my conclusions, infused with their valuable insight.

Your taste is complicated, but it can be divided into two basic categories: chemical and conceptual. Both are in play when you pay for a drink. They’ve been in play since at least your ancestors’ hunter-gatherer days.

Your ancestors used to be deathly afraid of hops, of anything bitter for that matter. “Our basic biology tells us not to like bitter,” says Julie Mennella, a biopsychologist at the Phillybased Monell Chemical Senses Center, who studies how children learn taste and smell. In olden days, bitter meant poison.

Over time, your ancestors learned to differentiate the deadly from the delicious, and bitterness was integrated into the cuisine. They also figured out that some fermented bitter grains could bring them closer to God—or alcohol poisoning.

Flash forward to you. When you’re looking for a flavorful beer, you often go with India Pale or Belgian ales. “I know in Philly the hoppier the better,” says Devil’s Den co-owner Erin Wallace. But your palate changes with the season.

In the summer, you might be inclined to sip a Hefeweizen or something else that’s crisp, citrusy and light. In the winter, you might opt

for the warmth of a spiced ale or a rich, creamy porter. But, as Mennella points out, “beer is not just a taste. It’s an irritant and there are a lot of aromas—all combine to give one sensory experience.”

Some of those experiences are more expensive than others. As Bell Beverage proprietor Frank Bell has found, “people always want to try something before they spend $30 to $35 on a case.”

There are so many more considerations.

There’s popularity. There’s occasion and supply.

There’s calories and convenience. Above all, there’s familiarity.

You know only what you’re exposed to, and from an early age your mental environment has been saturated with Bud, Miller and Coors ads.

“For most of our lives it’s been hammered home to us that beer is about refreshment,” says Don Russell, a beer columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News. The message, Russell says, is that cheap and refreshing “does the trick.” Adds Dock Street Brewery founder Suzanne Woods: “Why Corona? Why Heineken? I think it’s advertising at the end of the day.”

You learned to like what your parents liked because it was all you’d ever tasted. You learned to like what your friends liked because you wanted to fit in. You’re intimidated by beers with exotic names. “People like what is familiar to them and sometimes they’re really scared to try something new,” says beer blogger Carolyn Smagalski.

But there’s no need to be scared. There’s hope for you. A universe of taste awaits within five miles of your place.24 Your mentor is a barstool away. ■

With the A’s, Richard Bush fronted one of Philly’s first and bestloved new-wave bands through three albums and a flirtation with major-label success. “Woman’s Got the Power,” the title track from their 1981 album, was covered by Clarence Clemons and live by the Boss himself.

Swim Pony

Creatures of the Abyss

Should you ever have the opportunity to stroll into the fourth dimension, you might be surprised to find it looks very much like an IKEA waiting room. That's just one of the insights into the dark places of the Universe (and its hippie friend the Multiverse) as put forth by Swim Pony, a half-theater, half-science-experiment production with an irregular layout.

Matt Davis’ Aerial Photograph

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY

In 2008, guitarist Matt Davis wrote an involved musical love letter to Philadelphia, and the gargantuan effort—a month-by-month suite executed by Davis’ chamber-jazz group Aerial Photograph—landed him on the cover of PW. The topics were far-flung: Davis spoke to addicts, veterans, inmates, kids, seniors and so forth, and wove their actual voices into his pensive, lyrical music. He capped off each month with a handmade, limited-edition CD and a gig at Tritone. That chapter is behind him now, but the band plays on, if a bit more sporadically, drawing momentum from their latest disc, Ways and Means, a compilation of the Philly project’s highlights.

Walk for Animals

T

here are very few occasions where it’s socially acceptable to put a little sweater and a tiny leash on your rat Randy and walk him around Rittenhouse. The second annual Walk for Animals is one of them. The 2.5-mile walk is open to all manner of furry friends and their human companions. Last year’s brought out ferrets, rats and the expected cats and dogs. After the trek, peruse the Humane League’s adjoining festival, where critters are up for adoption. There will also be plenty of pet merchandise available for purchase. (Seeing as how you just made Randy, whose legs are a half-inch long, walk two and a half miles, the poor dude deserves a treat.) Photographer Jim Sokoloff will be shooting professional portraits of pets and their humans, so make sure Randy wears his fancy sweater. erica Palan Sat., June 5, 2pm. Free. Ethical Society, 1906 S.

The Dexateens The Dexateens initially followed Alabama brethren Verbena and Drive-By Truckers into scabrous southern country-blues rock deeply informed by Sticky Fingers-era Stones. Frontman Elliott McPherson’s twangy vocals sidle with a willowy rasp reminiscent of DBT buddy Patterson Hood, soaked in the grimy, unshaven desperation of kids with skinny T-shirts and blue jeans picking at the shackles of their small-town upbringing. With the excellent 2007 Hoodproduced Hardwire Healing, they began making their way from garage to front porch, scaling back the distortion and centering the mix on acoustic guitar. This culminated with last year’s Singlewide, whose ragged grace shines through quieter arrangements that allow its poetic poignancy to speak volumes louder. chris ParKer 9pm. $8.

Prong Formed in the mid ’80s by singer-guitarist Tommy Victor—along with one of his CBGB co-workers and one-time Swans drummer Ted Parsons—Prong started life as a thrashy, severe post-punk trio before segueing into precision industrial-metal, aligning itself with the likes of Ministry and Killing Joke. Though they enjoyed some major label success and were hailed as influential by Trent Reznor and others, myriad lineup changes and industry woes caused things to fall apart by 1996. Victor went on to play guitar with Danzig and Ministry, but re-formed Prong in the ’00s, recording with Ministry’s Al Jourgensen and touring sporadically. The old stuff has aged pretty well, and Prong’s newer grooves are increasingly brutal. M.A.G. Sun., June 6, 6:30pm. $17-$20. With Fear Factory, Silent Civilian, Thy Will Be Done + World Lost.

Beer Balderdash Alcohol is the fuel of adventures, and the tales of madness that rise from the shattered remains of a drunken night are something that require preservation, curation and a platform for storytelling. No one in Philadelphia cares more for the lost art form of the drinking story than Brendan and Dan, whose own experiences with booze rival the shenanigans of legendary 12-step dropouts. These two gentlemen invite you to join them and contribute your own tale of interest, sharing with an audience that will either applaud your bravado or scrutinize your story’s authenticity until you cry. Be sure to come armed with a tale of pure balderdash just to throw the crowd off a little. You’d be surprised at the fine line between what’s plausible and what’s true. If you manage to shock and amaze beyond all others, you’ll be taking home a prize of some fuel for your next adventure.

Janelle Monae With artists like Amy Winehouse, Gnarls Barkley and Jill Scott well established, the revival of soul and funk music in mainstream America is nothing new. But there hasn’t yet been an artist who's captured the aesthetic that was culturally cutting-edge in the 1960s and ‘70s, an artist with suave sophistication, glamor and primal passion for music. Janelle Monae, however, is poised to take that on. The 24-year-old female crooner from Kansas City, Kan., released her second album last month, and, like her first, it’s a whopper. Her vocals are sensual but inviting, whether it’s a modern electro-dance club rager or an attitude-filled funk tune lifted from 1968.

Not to mention her semi-androgynous, edgeof-fashion couture and attitude that turns her live performances into works of art. KATherine SilKAiTiS

Sportswriter Joe Rhoads once wrote this about Penn’s basketball gym, the Palestra: “It’s a basketball chamber where every sound is amplified, where 100 people sound like 1,000, where 1,000 sound like 10,000, and where 10,000 sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before.” There were only a handful of people at the bar Saturday night, and this is high praise, but it’s true: T.A. Flannery’s is the drinking equivalent of the Palestra.

I realized what was happening sometime around the fifth inning.

We went to T.A. Flannery’s to watch the Flyers play the Blackhawks in the first game of the Stanley Cup Finals; a friend had recommended it as a great hockey bar. Saturday night, it was only open because of the Flyers’ improbable playoff run.

Then something else happened, something bigger. I checked the Phillies box score on my phone during a break in the action. The Marlins didn’t have a hit yet.

I decided not to say anything, wary of jinxing it.

I kept checking my phone, and by the seventh inning I started passing it around, showing people. One of baseball’s great superstitions is to never mention the words “no-hitter” when a pitcher has one going.

“Look at this,” I said, shoving the phone in my friend’s face. “Look at this!”

Bartender Butch Flannery switched the TVs to the Phillies when the first period ended. A guy down the bar said, “Do you think we have something more here?” Something more than a no-hitter?

No way, I thought. The eighth inning ended. Phillies announcer Tom McCarthy blasted out of the speakers: “Twenty-four up and twenty-four down!”

Everyone at the bar gasped in excitement.

I hadn’t even considered Roy Halladay was pitching a perfect game. Sure, he’s a great pitcher, but there had only been 19 in modern baseball history. People still talk about Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning’s perfect game, which was on Father’s Day in 1964, in hushed tones.

Suddenly, the Phillies game was on center stage. When Halladay got a groundout

for the 27th and final out of the game, the small crowd went nuts. I thought one dude was going to cry. I whooped so loudly I’m sure I scared the two people I was with.

T.A. Flannery’s is best-known as the bar owned by the family of Kate Flannery, who plays Meredith on The Office.

(There’s a huge signed cast photo high above the bar.) But it also might be the best sports bar in the city. There are more than enough televisions, the beer is cheap and the bartender is knowledgeable about sports. Most attempts at sports conversation with bartenders end in disaster, but that’s not the case with Butch. We chatted about Flyers past and present, the legendary Big 5 and CYO basketball. He even suggested sports stories I should write.

It’s a simple spot, really, with a long bar, a handful of unadorned tables, simple bathrooms and five flat-screen TVs. That’s sort of what makes it such a wonderful place to watch a sporting event, though. There’s a refreshing lack of neon beer signs; instead, the walls are filled with memorabilia: A photo of the Penn football team from the 1920s, shots of old-timey basketball players and even a copy of the May 30, 1918, edition of the Hibernian Journal, warning about the coming of Prohibition. (“To imbed the fundamental law of a national with the transient opinions of a majority is to fetter the future and to prostitute the Constitution to the legislative vices of a single generation,” the paper reads, a level of writing I can only dream of reaching.)

Unfortunately, the night didn’t end perfectly. The Flyers blew several leads and ended up losing, 6-5. Sure, we got a round on Butch when the Flyers took a late first-period lead, but the loss was quite disappointing in the end. Had the Flyers won, it would have been one of the greatest days in Philadelphia sports history. A lot of hockey fans I know don’t like basketball, but after the Flyers lost, Butch switched the TVs to the Western Conference finals, and we chatted about the NBA for a good half-hour.

Unfortunately, he’s a Celtics fan. Hey, nobody’s perfect. n

Though O’Brien’s people first used the nickname “Coco” in a sketch, it was Tom Hanks, on as a guest, who instructed the crowd to chant it over and over, laying the foundation for the Team Coco phenomenon. “I’ll sue you if that catches on,” warned O’Brien, never figuring in a million years that within a few months it would become fans’ grassroots rallying cry against the machine that rewarded floundering sycophant Jay Leno and unceremoniously gave loyal O’Brien the boot. Ah, the bitter fruit of the late-night wars.

One good thing to come out of them is the unusual “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny On Television” tour that, now that O’Brien has signed to be back behind a desk on TBS in November, is a super-rare chance to see the comedian perform outside the box of a carefully honed Late Night persona. Tickets range from the cost of a night’s drinks to more than $600 in a “meet and greet” package. Couple that with his $45 million settlement, and O’Brien won’t even need Hanks’ money. He probably wants to thank him now, anyway. TArA MurThA

nanny. Along the way he’s made nine albums, ranging in tone from Dylan-esque folk to Bandish country rock. His latest project, Among the Oak and the Ash with Nashville’s Garrison Star, mines old-time traditions like folk, country and bluegrass with love but never reverence. Their take on “The Water Is Wide” alone is worth the ticket, as heart-felt and pure and unfiltered as an Appalachian spring. J.K.

August Wilson drama benefits from good casting Two group shows and the end of Vox’s video at First Friday.

Organic Honey’s Some People I Met and straightforward production values.

By J. Cooper Robb jrobb@philadelphiaweekly.com

In a season in which one-act plays are the norm rather than the exception, Philadelphia Theatre Company’s production of August Wilson’s drama Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom reminds us what a great three-hour play looks like.

Debuting on Broadway in 1984, Ma Rainey was the second installment of Wilson’s 10play, multiple-Pulitzer-winning Pittsburgh Cycle, in which each play chronicles the African-American experience in a different decade of the 20th century. The intense

After three years of solid programming, Screening Video—the room behind the black curtain in Vox Populi’s entryway— is going away. For its last show ever, the little project space offers “Organic Honey’s Visual Telepathy,” feminist artist Joan Jonas’ 17-minute, black-and-white performance video from 1972. Jonas is a seminal figure in ’60s and ’70s performance video, and “Organic Honey” features her mugging for the camera in front of a mirror, trying on different personas and performing ritual behaviors. A baby-doll mask transforms her into her seductive alter ego, Organic Honey. Influenced by Japanese Noh theater, Jonas’ experimentation with the camera and focus on archetypical women prefigure works by today’s video artists Kate Gilmore and Pippilotti Rist.

Gilmore and Rist, like Jonas, use ritualized performance and sexually charged characters in scenes that are ultimately threatening. Screening, the brainchild of artists Nadia Hironaka and Matthew Suib, will be missed. The quiet little niche with comfy foam seating was a must-visit space for experimental and interesting videos.

Proceeds of the show benefit Ready, Willing & Able, a nonprofit that provides transitional housing and paid work training for homeless and formerly incarcerated individuals; the “men in blue” of RWA maintain Philadelphia’s public spaces and keep the city’s parks and squares clean and functional. The show includes more than 100 10-by-10-inch panels, which have been created by artists, local and national, and one local artist who is also an RWA trainee. Prices are between $500 and $1000, and photographer Kyle Ferino’s portraits of men in blue will also be on display in the Vault Room. (Manya Scheps)

by Butler and Tocarra Cash, who plays Ma’s love interest Dussie Mae).

As band members wander in to rehearse and wait on the perpetually late Rainey (the scintillating E. Faye Butler), they aimlessly chat about things ranging from footwear to song arrangements. The men’s conversations seem mundane, but they are small revelations of what it is to be black in a white man’s world.

One of the four studio musicians, young horn player Levee (an intense Maurice McRae) is a time bomb of anger.

Haunted by horrors whites inflicted on his family, Levee nonetheless believes the empty promises offered by a white producer who wants to buy his songs.

Picnic Shtick

Some things we’re excited to see at this year’s Roots Picnic.

By Brian McManus

bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com

will be plenty to see. Here now are some things we’re excited about.

Kids in boat shoes interacting with kids in Bapes.

Are Bathing Apes still a thing? Please forgive if these terrible, patent leather sneakers have already spent their time in the sun, and kids are on to a new fad in ugly clothing, but you get my meaning. Because of the Roots’ Picnic’s diverse lineup, there’s a diverse crowd. And the skinny-jeans and puffy high tops kids into Das Racist and Clipse mix with the pastel shirts and boat shoe-wearing fans of Vampire Weekend in the same space. Very rare and always fun.

Ghostface, Raekwon, Method Man. Frankly, I was happy to see Run-D.M.C. cancel. Have you ever heard DMC speak? Why is his voice so high? Why does it crack like he’s going through puberty? Anyway, he seems to have gone off the deep end. Add that to the fact that Rev. Run is content to tweet platitudes from a day calendar of inspirational phrases, and this, legends though they are, wasn’t a reunion I was all that thrilled about. Ghost, Rae and Meth will slay, just like their new album.

Hair apparent: The Roots are hip-hop's most confoundingly unique group.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 2-8, 2010 •

Show me a festival curated by a hip-hop group headlined by Vampire Weekend, and I’ll show you the third annual Roots Picnic! Show me a new hip-hop album featuring Joanna Newsom, and I’ll show you the Roots How I Got Over, out June 22.

Both may seem a bit odd, but they’re not.

Because the Roots’ drummer/mouthpiece ?uestlove doesn’t make music for you. He makes it for 68-year-old white guys. Specifically Robert Christgau, the “the Dean of American Rock Critics” who ?uest believes is “the last trueblue record critic on earth,” according to a 2008 interview.

“That’s pretty much who I make my records for,” he went on to say.

Over the last half-decade, the Roots have become the most unique (confounding?) hip-hop act on the planet, mostly because they don’t seem to like hip-hop all that much. (Or, more accuately, what hip-hop has become.) So they collaborate with Monsters of Folk and the aforementioned Newsom. They book Vampire Weekend to headline the concert they curate. They book Tune-Yards. They’re caught on tape slobbering all over an acoustic performance

by Dirty Projectors backstage at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They book TV on the Radio.

They’ve got Pitchfork in their RSS feed.

When they do book hip-hop it’s always with a heaping helping of “back in the day.” They have a serious fetish for the Golden Era, and when they do give a nod to the modern era, the preference seems to be for blog rap. Now we know why. And not just because of ?uest’s Christgau boner.

Last Monday he went on a bit of a Twitter rant. His gripe: “the press/blogger minstrelsy embrace of hip-hop.”

His meaning: if it’s “‘scary or ‘bright’ ‘clownish’/’funny’ or ‘oversexed’ or ‘watered down apolitically’ (no balls/opinion/ position/eager to pleaseisms) its minstrel!!!!”

He then links to the Wiki entry for “Minstrel show” before pitting Lil Wayne and Sting against one another in a race for hypothetical political office, asking which of the artists you’d vote for if both decided to quit selling millions of records to embark on a career in politics. The answer is obvious, insists ?uesto (unless “being contrary is how you differentiate yourself from others”). You may listen to Lil Wayne, respect his art, but you don’t take him “all that serious.”

So don’t expect to see Plies at a Roots Picnic anytime soon. Or any mainstream rap, for that matter. But at this year’s Roots Picnic—Saturday at the Festival Pier—there

Stymied rap fans watch Tune-Yards.

I imagine it will be much like watching fans of Coldplay watch Santigold when she opened for them a couple years back. After a couple songs they’ll become a bit uncomfortable and start yapping at one another, “What the hell is this?” Or maybe not. By all accounts Merrill Garbus’ (aka Tune-Yards) live show can melt the coldest of hearts.

I’m at the Pizza Hut. I’m at the Taco Bell. I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

I’m at the Pizza Hut. I’m at the Taco Bell. I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. Repeat 50 times. After you’ve heard it, you’ll sing Das Racist’s viral hit any time you are in or around a combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

Stay away from 30th Street Station.

Unannounced Guests!

Last year it was a couple of the guys from New Kids on the Block. Who could it be this year? (Crossing fingers for Backstreet Boys.) n

My favorite thing about Philadelphia is ...

“The people. I love people-watching in Philly.

I think Philly is a lot cooler than New York.

It’s got more swagger. And there’s so many great suit shops and shoe stores in Philly.

There’s some definite fly style going on down there.”

The one thing that must be provided for us backstage is ... ”Tequila.”

The strangest thing someone has shouted at me while I was performing was ... “‘Evan’s sister is hot!’ Evan Cranley, the bass player—his sister. But it wasn’t in our hometown, so I don’t know how they knew Evan’s sister. She’s not involved in the band or music at all. I thought that was very strange. But she is hot!”

The strangest thing I’ve seen from the stage while performing was ... ”Someone fainting. I think they were overwhelmed by the beauty of Torquil’s dimples, and they couldn’t contain themselves.”

The best thing about being in a band is ... ”You get paid in alcohol.”

The worst thing about being in a band is ... ”Goatees. There’s a lot of goatees in a lot of bars. I don’t mind the mustache or the beard, but there’s something about the goatee that creeps me out.”

The thing I’ll remember most about making The Five Ghosts is ... ”Evan getting bit by the dog in the studio, a Rottweiler. It was weird because he’s a dog lover. He’s obviously not a dog whisperer, though.”

The biggest misconception about our

The artist we really don’t mind being compared to is ... ”The Pogues.”

The first musician I saw live or on TV who inspired me to do this for a living was ... ”Cyndi Lauper. She was my first concert that I ever went to. It was pretty amazing, except my mom made me leave before the encore, which was “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” She wanted to beat the crowd, so I missed out.”

The dumbest thing a journalist has ever asked me is ... “‘How did your band start?’

I got that one the other day. I’m like, ‘We’ve been a band for nine years, I’m not answering that question. Go look on Wikipedia.”

Ten years from now we hope to be ... ” Playin’ Philly!” n Thurs., June 3, 8pm. $20. With Dead Star Child. First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St. 866.468.7619. r5productions.com

here’s a moment in Diane Birch’s perforT mance on her webisode of Live from Daryl’s House—a popular web series wherein up-and-comers travel to Daryl Hall’s home in upstate New York to play music, eat and shoot the shit with the Master—that’ll melt your heart. She begins her “Nothing But A Miracle” with an impressive piano intro, and Hall takes the first verse. The band comes in (including the now departed “T-Bone” Wolk, RIP). They run through the chorus, and Birch lays into the second verse with her sultry middle range. Another chorus, an instrumental break, and that’s when it happens: Beneath her Blossom hat (really, she pulls the look off—it somehow suits her soul), Birch breaks into the most electric, infectious smile. You’ll fall in love.

Birch’s debut, Bible Belt, intricately weaves delta blues, Motown, Philly soul and Top 40 pop with graceful ease. You’ll fall in love with that, too. (Brian McManus) n

anadian indie-pop C combo Stars—fueled by catchy, sophisticated melodies and the alluring vocal interplay between singers Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan—come back to town behind their absolutely phenomenal forthcoming LP, The Five Ghosts.

Stars will play the new album straight through in its entirety, then finish up with a whole batch of songs voted onto the set list by fans.

We caught up with Millan over the phone from her home in Montreal, where she was lamenting her beloved Canadiens’ playoffs loss to the Flyers (don’t worry, she still loves Philly)—to play a little “Fill in the Blanks”:

Farmer in the Delco

At Sycamore, local-seasonal lands in Lansdowne.

By Adam Erace aerace@philadelphiaweekly.com

Since Votta’s passing, the kitchen has been under the direction of 32-year-old Sam Jacobson, who worked under Votta at the Joseph Ambler Inn in North Wales.

The British chef came to Sycamore to help out, but, as Votta’s illness progressed, it became apparent his stay wouldn’t be as temporary as anticipated. “It was almost as if she knew the whole time,” says Jacobson, the proper edge of his accent slightly worn down by five years among us language-mangling Philadelphians.

Fresh, local and seasonal food was a shared passion for Votta and Jacobson, and it’s what’s for dinner at Sycamore. But Jacobson tempers any barnyard ennui by deploying heat and spice to great effect, as skilled with Indian cardamom as he is with Lancaster carrots. It’s one of the reasons Lansdowne should be on your map.

Another: Taylor Bay scallops on the half, guts and all, a gutsy move for suburbia. Hell, a gutsy move for the city. Jacobson plucks ’em, shucks ’em, serves ’em right in their coralcolored, fan-shaped shells. They slide down your throat, sweet at first, with a salt-kissed marine finish suggesting East Coast oysters. The tangy, magenta rhubarb mignonette was a nice touch. I’m into it; so, it would appear, is the crowd.

And I mean crowd. On a weeknight I was there, Sycamore was at capacity thanks to the $29 three-course tasting Jacobson just introduced for Wednesdays and Sundays. Chatter ricocheted off the bronze-pressed tin ceiling, the dangling Edison bulbs rattled like there was an orgy going on in the apartment upstairs and the perfectly nice servers were also perfectly incapable of keeping up. Ordering happened with diner briskness, Metropolitan bread took A pretty penne: Sycamore's rustic pasta with Marcona almond pesto. forever and should you request no

Over Cobb’s Creek and through the woods, to Delaware County we go. From West Philly, it’s a mile and change down Baltimore Avenue until you hit Lansdowne Avenue, the peaceful main street of the town of the same name, the ’burb that chef Meg Votta, who lost her battle with ovarian cancer in November, called home.

Last June, Votta and partners Stephen and Jennifer Wagner opened Sycamore, giving their Delco neighbors a worthy walking-distance BYO option and urbanites a destination restaurant, right in the city’s backyard.

olives in the tasting, you just might get them anyway.

The defiant Kalamatas arrived, ribboned through mashed potatoes like fudge through vanilla ice cream.

A slim, seared fillet of dourade had been draped over top, daubed with a sauce vierge of fresh olive oil, tomato, capers and basil. It was as composed as the penne tossed in nutty Marcona almond pesto was rustic, as sedate as the vegan curried chickpea soup was exhilarating. I liked that last starter best, a tropical cyclone of coconut, kaffir lime, lemongrass, ginger and red curry paste that sweeps you up and deposits you on a beach in Southeast Asia. Jacobson wrangles these vibrant, assertive flavors like a Vietnamese grandmother.

The simple chicken stew, a whole leg in a sludgy gravy, didn’t feel right for the season—though rubbery skin is as out of vogue in January as it is in May. Fortunately, there were soft-but-springy dumplings in there, too, studded with caraway seeds—a spice not known for playing well with others. Jacobson, ever the charmer, had coaxed their assertive flavor into a calm, mellow grace note.

For dessert, he did the same with cardamom, another pushy exotic. The flavor was an airy specter of itself, haunting a bowl of lush cardamom-and-vanilla rice pudding crowned with jewel-like strawberries.

That same spice pairing figures into the house-made Indian Ocean soda, but I deferred to the Rosemary Collins, a sprightly lemonade infused with the woodsy herb, a fine mate for vodka or gin. The mixers are sold by the shaker (enough for one DIY cocktail per person) for $8 when they should probably be $6.

The rest of the prices don’t insult, though. They might be a bit big-city, but so is the food. If money’s an object, get yourself to the tasting on Wednesday or Sunday.

With modest luxuries like cornmeal-crusted soft-shell crabs, it’s a deal worth driving for. n For more on Philly's food scene, visit blogalicious-adam.blogspot.com.

SIX PACK

Six Movies With Interspecies Coupling

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Porcile (1969): Though it has nothing on Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom, this— another of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s more savage critiques of the bourgeoisie—still finds Jean-Pierre Léaud, playing the son of a former Nazi, as a man so decadent he forsakes his fiancée to have sex with pigs. In the film’s bleak conclusion, he’s fed to the swine he loves to love.

Something must have been in the air in 1969: The American comedy Futz! also depicted man-pig love.

Caligula (1980): There are so many, shall we say, transgressions in this epic, Penthouse-produced grotesquery that a scene in which the Roman emperor engages in postcoital reverie with his horse would, comparatively, make few bat an eyelid. At least they didn’t show it, unlike the scene in which Caligula ties up a guy’s urinary tract, pours wine down his throat then disembowels him.

Howard the Duck (1986): Give this George Lucas-shepherded atrocity, based on Steve Gerber’s oft-brilliant po-mo comic, some credit: It’s the only would-be blockbuster that ends with its lead actress in a mad, passionate affair with a midget in an instantly dated animatronic duck costume.

Splice (2009): Let’s just say the scene in which Adrien Brody’s geneticist mates with the animal-human hybrid beastie he’s “fathered” isn’t the most messed-up cross-species sex act in the movie.

Bad-boy British comedian Russell Brand made his long-delayed American breakthrough stealing every scene that wasn’t nailed down in 2008’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall. As self-regarding horndog rock star Aldous Snow, Brand mined blithe narcissism for massive laughs, adding a surprising streak of kindness to a character that in lesser hands might have been a cardboard scoundrel. But, let’s face it, a little of this guy goes a long way. If Hannibal Lecter couldn’t carry his own movie, what hope is there for Aldous Snow?

Appearances to the contrary, Nicholas Stoller’s Get Him to the Greek is not technically a sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Jonah Hill plays a different character this time around, and Snow’s backstory has been significantly rewritten. (As for poor What do you mean, Judd Apatow didn't direct or write this movie?!: Jonah Hill (left) and Russell Brand Sarah Marshall, she’s forgotare shocked, shocked, in the Nicholas Stoller-directed Get Him to the Greek. ten again—literally.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY June 2-8, 2010 • 42

Dialogue is overrated. In The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, the latter talks of seeing a film (Paris, Texas) in which the lead character spends the first 40 minutes not speaking. When the protagonist finally spoke, he immediately lost interest. Splice, the latest from Cube maven Vincenzo Natali, does him one better: One of its main characters spends the entire film unable to speak. There’s a reason for that: Dren (a blend of special effects and the actress Delphine Chanéac) is a hybrid creature created by a pair of brash geneticists (Sarah Polley and Adrien Brody) from the DNA of humans and various animals.

Born a moaning creature that resembles an armless baby velociraptor, she ages rapidly and keeps revealing new features.

Appendages grow, as do a tail, human-butnot-that-human eyes and eventually wings, but she never develops speech. Both the audience and the characters are limited to trying to decipher her facial expressions. It’s hard not to be captivated, wondering what she’ll do all the more because her intentions can’t be voiced.

Of course, since Splice has been advertised as a killer beastie movie, audience members may simply wonder when she’ll start racking up a body count. Their wait won’t be in vain, but it will be an absurdly long one. Almost all horrors (or genre films, for that matter) mask commentary of some sort. But Splice is particularly blatant about its subject, the nature of parenthood and relationships.

And it goes to some uncomfortable and eventually fucked-up places. Crazy in love, our overqualified leads are split up by their “child.” Polley, who is adamant about remaining childless, finds her maternal instincts summoned, then fights with rejection as Dren grows older. Meanwhile, Brody turns from skeptic to defender, only to develop more, ahem, carnal feelings as Dren grows more traditional lady parts. Whether Splice goes too far in its nutso final reel is up for debate; it’s possible Natali doesn’t have as firm a grasp on his ideas as thinks he does. But like many genre films, it says more about the parent-spawn relationship than 100 allegedly serious films.

D Review by Sean Burns

Shoes, money, outfits, shoes, vagina, money, shoes, jewelry, outfits, money, shoes.

That’s pretty much all I got out of Sex and the City 2, a two-and-a-half-hour barrage of fetishized luxury items, crass behavior and grotesque materialism sadly misconstrued as female empowerment.

I understand these four gals have a fanatical fanbase, and I’ll even admit to being charmed by early episodes of the HBO show.

But the truth is that Carrie and company ran out of things to say long before the series ended, and the two feature-film spinoffs are nothing but gaudy fashions and off-puttingly ostentatious displays of wealth.

After the redundant happily-ever-after endings of both the TV program and the first movie, there’s no reason for this sequel to exist besides money. So I guess it’s fitting that all Sex and the City 2 is about is just how ridiculously fucking rich these people are. We begin with the garish wedding of two gay sidekicks who I thought used to hate each other. There are swans, a boy-toy choir and a drag queen billed as Liza Minnelli belting out a Beyoncé song.

The closest the film comes to conflict is when Carrie gets angry because her husband likes to put his feet on the couch and watch television; the recession has hit this couple so hard that they’re stuck with only two Manhat-

tan apartments. Instead of a story, we watch the girls vacation at a $22,000-a-night Abu Dhabi resort. Little of interest occurs besides costume changes, and the movie periodically stops dead in its tracks for lengthy itemizations of the expensive products on display.

It’s a cartoon Middle East where women wear the latest couture beneath their burquas and mean old religious dudes get offended.

Samantha eventually gets into trouble for fellating a hookah pipe and publically groping a guy named Dick Spyrt (get it?). Carrie sucks face with an ex-boyfriend, so her husband buys her a diamond ring. Miranda and Charlotte complain about their kids, condescendingly drinking a toast to women who can’t afford full-time domestic servants. The big threat hanging over the final act is that they might have to fly home in coach.

After the first film, a fellow critic said to me: “I want everybody in that movie to die of AIDS.” I replied that I wanted something far worse to happen to them. I wanted them to run out of money.

BReview by Matt Prigge

Let me respectfully offer a suggestion, future memoirists: if you were once the boring center of a wild bacchanalia, why not focus exclusively on the wild bacchanalia part? It’s very likely that that aspect, not your banal “personal growth,” is where an audience of strangers’ true interest lies.

Dimitri Verhulst, who overcame a childhood of foster parents and institutions to become a novelist, has claimed his popular The Misfortunates is semi-autobiographical. And it’s a great subject.

As in the book, the film version, energetically adapted by director Felix Van Groeningen and cowriter Christophe Dirickx, concerns 13-year-old

Gunther (Kenneth Vanbaeden), growing up in a dilapidated Belgian house with his boozing, developmentally arrested father (Koen de Graeve) and his three equally debauched uncles.

These aren’t Will Ferrell's man-children. An ornery lot, they’re temperamental and prone to violence on people (within the first minutes, a guy gets stabbed in the throat with a broken bottle), animals (a bird shits on the drying laundry, gets shot), objects (a chair is slowly destroyed, in an apparent homage to the same scene in Gummo) and, of course, beer.

That they all live with (and ritualistically ignore) their addled, elderly mother completes the portrait of terminal adolescence.

The Misfortunates views their catalogue of depravity with a deftly balanced mix of fascination and fear, sucking up the fetid surroundings to the point where you half expect the theaters to pump in nicotine stench à la gimmick auteur William Castle.

But what of young Gunther? Flash-forwards show us our narrator-protagonist when he’s older (and played with grave reserve by Valentijn Dhaaenens) doing considerably better, trying to sell novels and awaiting the birth of a son he doesn’t want with a woman he doesn’t love. Will he turn out just like his shitty father?

Frankly, who cares? Perhaps a film that spends its entirety rolling around in filth would be too much—although one can imagine what Emir Kustirica, of such madcap Eastern European brawlers as Underground, would do with this source material—but there has to be another angle of attack than this mopey, narcissistic bullshit. After two acts spent mostly bottling up the surroundings, the fun ends and the remainder crawls into multiple-endings mode. You know what would fix that? Focusing on the good stuff.

Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders BReview by Matt Prigge

Opens Fri., June 4

Yes, they’re heroes, but are they interesting? The doctors of French-based secular-humanitarian organization Médecins Sans Frontières are stationed in no fewer than 70 war-torn/povertydrenched/essentially apocalyptic nations.

The doc Living in Emergency examines just four of them, ranging from seasoned vets to fresh-faced neophytes, in two countries. In the war zones of Liberia and Congo, amidst abject misery, unemployment and death, these selfless do-gooders try their best with painfully limited resources and with a low success rate.

“You have to be able to live with wrong decisions,” says American Tom Krueger, only on his first tour. “That’s really hard to do.”

That line, bleak and hard-earned, is scarily typical in Emergency, and it’s why the film is more than just a puffed-out special-interest piece. The world’s film festivals (and occasionally first-run movie theaters) are filled with docs that never get past noble intentions, often because self-sacrificing martyrs with no flaws are not that interesting. Mark N. Hopkins’ film initially feels like it’s going to be one of those.

But it doesn’t take long for the dark side to creep in. These doctors are exhausted—hollowed out by the despair they encounter in every minute of their stints. They’ve signed up to do good, and it’s taken everything out of them.

“In the beginning I felt very good about everything I was doing,” confesses longtime MSF Chiara Lepora. “Now I don’t feel good anymore.”

Much of the film hangs with Chris Brasher, on his last mission after nine years. He’s still able to provide a positive-sounding sound

bite, but is visibly enervated. Both he and Lepora smoke too much; Krueger and other newbie Davinder Gill will soon, too.

Does focusing on the negative aspects seem like whining when placed against the backdrop of unspeakable horror (and occasional gory hospital footage)? A bit.

Emergency could stand to have a bit more contextualizing, more time spent with the people of Liberia and Congo—more specifics, rather than dwelling on complaints. But the doctors come off as complex human beings rather than untouchable martyrs. And the film reveals a depressing factoid amongst an already depressing subject: Even heroes can only be heroes for so long. And they need lots and lots of nicotine. n

Savage Love

I

By Dan Savage

mail@savagelove.net

’m a straight male college student in a relationship, which had been going great. The only incongruity was that, for a religious reason, I don’t want to have penetrative vaginal sex before marriage. I’m up for anything else—I would eat her out, piss on her—but not vaginal sex. I made this clear at the beginning. My girlfriend started bringing up how she wanted to have “actual” sex. I told her, “I love you, and if you need to fuck other guys, go for it.” To my relief, she was completely repulsed and offended by the suggestion.

A week later, she confessed that she had gone ahead and slept with someone. I had no idea I would be this hurt. I feel like I can’t trust her now. I feel like a hypocrite since I brought up the idea of her sleeping with someone else in the first place. But I was unprepared for the reality since she berated me for making the proposal at all. Still, I feel like I don’t have a leg to stand on here; I told her to do this. She regrets the hookup.

I don’t know if I’m even asking for advice. I just wonder if I’m acting childishly.

WIShIng AncIllAry FuckIng FelT leSS eMoTIonAlly ruInouS

screaming and yelling about it, huh?

3. I still admire Ashton Kutcher’s work ethic—the man is an acting, producing, tweeting machine—but my crush on Ashton evaporated halfway through the first episode of Punk’d. My current celebrity crush is Bill Hader as Stefon on SNL’s “Weekend Update.”

Your dilemma is interesting, WAFFLER, but you know what I’m more interested in? I’d like to know which religion we’re talking about here.

I’d really like to know which particular faith tradition frowns on vaginal intercourse before marriage but smiles on oral and piss scenes and okays women having vaginal intercourse before marriage but only with men they don’t intend to marry. That sounds like a church I’d like to visit.

That sounds like a church I should be tithing to.

Look, WAFFLER, doing everything-butvaginal for religious reasons is deeply silly. If you’re going to be in a sexual relationship, be in a sexual relationship. I promise you that any God who frowns on vaginal-before-marriage also frowns on piss-play-before-marriage and eating-pussy-before-marriage.

As for your dilemma, WAFFLER, either you need to find a girlfriend who wants what you want—or doesn’t want what you don’t want— or you need to stop playing bullshit games and start fucking the girl you’ve got.

The bed is a nice place to sleep, a good place to read, and an obvious place to fuck. But you can have sex elsewhere, WET, and you can acquire just-for-fucking furniture/furnishings without going to hell with the vaginalbefore-marriage crowd. Instead of attempting to fist-and-squirt-proof your bed—which is impossible—go to a sporting-goods store and pick up a large, folding wrestling mat. Store it under the bed, WET, and when your sexy time involves fisting—and hopefully you’re not fisting every time you have sex—GET OUT OF BED, pull the mat out, throw some towels down, and fist and squirt to your heart’s content. Then when you’re all over—the towels, the mat, the floor—you’ll be able to crawl back into your warm, dry, comfortable bed.

T

o say that I have recently been bored at work is a gross understatement. I have turned it into an opportunity to read all the archived Savage love columns I can find on the internet, which leads me to three questions that popped into my head while passing the time: 1. your advice has always been matter-of-fact, but it seems to me that your advice is becoming less acidic as time passes. how has your attitude toward the sex-advice business changed over the years? how have your own views shifted?

2. Why don’t women brag about their clit size?

3. Are you still into Ashton kutcher or do you have a new fantasy flame? your DevoTeD reADer

1. I get a lot of mail from people telling me I’ve changed. Half write to tell me that I’ve become an insufferably bitchy sacky twatty cunt prick, and half tell me I’ve gone soft, I’m too nice, I’ve lost my edge, etc. Not sure what to make of that. And while my views haven’t shifted much over the years, YDR, I have more sympathy for straight boys now than I did when I started out.

2. Clits aren’t inserted into anything—not typically—so a big clit doesn’t earn a woman any bragging rights. And a small clit, harder to locate and harder to stimulate, is nothing to brag about either. And while the clit—all of it, not just the exposed part—is central to a woman’s sexual pleasure, it’s not the showiest part of a woman’s package. That would be the labia. And it’s not the part a man is most interested in.

That would be the vagina. So while the clit is hugely important to her, it’s not necessarily all that important to him. So … not much point in

I

have recently started dating a sexually adventurous man. he is the first person to successfully fist me, and it’s fantastic.

When I orgasm, I squirt. lots. Afterward, the sheets are soaked and I’m in a puddle. We’ve put towels down, but the sheer volume of liquid soaks through them. I’m not super-pleased about ruining my mattress, and the postcoital sleeping on very wet sheets is not ideal. I don’t really want to sleep on a plastic-wrapped mattress and change my sheets every time we have sex. Does anything exist that I could put down during sex, or even something that might go under the sheets to at least protect the bed?

WASTIng enDleSS ToWelS

HEY, EVERYBODY: Jason Robinson is—was—the football coach at Mandarin High School in Duval County, Fla. He was fired last month for sending “adult-oriented pictures” to a student. He didn’t send the pictures to one of his students, but to a 20-year-old college student who just so happens to be Robinson’s girlfriend. The mother of Robinson’s girlfriend found the pictures on her daughter’s phone and forwarded them to the principal of the school where Robinson worked and scores of other people.

“We hold our teachers to a higher standard,” principal Donna Richardson told reporters. “They’re in front of our students.

They’re talking with our students. They’re teaching our students how to become good characters.”

This is sex-negative bullshit. Robinson is a consenting adult; Robinson’s girlfriend is a consenting adult. And what consenting adults do on their own time—and with their own cell phones—is no one’s business but their own.

Savage Love readers stuck up for Constance McMillen after she was victimized by the homophobic morons who run her high school. Now we need to stick up for a straight high-school coach being victimized by the sexphobic morons who run his. People shouldn’t lose their jobs after their privacy has been invaded, and people shouldn’t be punished for engaging in private, consensual sex acts. Send an e-mail to Donna Richardson at richardsod@duvalschools.org. Let Richardson know that she is in the wrong.

And let others know to let her know.

Apparently Steve Jobs isn’t such a prude after all. The Savage Love iPhone app is now available on the iTunes store. n

“The Condo Shop has redefined client service beyond the status quo, through the philosophy that good client service is as individual as the clients themselves” The Condo Shop, was established to capitalize on the rapidly growing and highly versatile marketplace for In-House Sales and Marketing of Pre-Construction Condominiums. The current condo market has been fueled by a period of historically low interest rates, coupled with an aging population of baby boomers, who are migrating to a variety of regions for reasons that vary from safety, tax advantages and superior climates. Additionally, international buyers view condos as a good investment and as a hedge against currency and political risks. Lastly, condo supply and demand is driven by the desire of investors to own real estate as an asset class in diversified investment portfolios.

Whether you are a first time home buyer or an experienced real estate investor, take advantage of the strength, power and expertise of “One-Stop Shopping” with The Condo Shop LLC. As leaders in marketing condominiums, we have after many years opened our doors to the general public, as demand for condos has surpassed all levels on an international scale. Your Condo Shop representative has at his or her disposal: a vast marketing support, technological tools and programs, real estate/property management services, training and legal counsel to help service you.
