Brooklyn “homopop” quartet Aye Nako are among those set to rock Ladyfest Philadelphia.
WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... FESTIVAL
Ladyfest Philadelphia Would a Ladyfest by any other name smell just as punk? That’s just one of the many questions facing Ladyfest Philly organizers Grace Ambrose, Jessi Holton, Sara Sherr and Maria Tessa Sciarrino. After all, the first Ladyfest erupted way back in the olden times of Olympia in 2000 AD, back when Neko Case toured with Her Boyfriends, Cat Power covered Bob Dylan, and sewing your own glittery pantaloons was still relatively subversive. After the debut ‘Fest, likeminded ladies all over the world built fests of their own, including a sprawling one here in Philadelphia in 2003. Ten years later, four local women— two who helped put together the last local Ladyfest—have created a three-day extravaganza of diverse bands and workshops that appeals to old school shit-kickers/gender warriors and younger women who may not connect to the idea of “riot grrrl” at all—or, for that matter, the word “feminism.” That’s always been the feminist challenge, hasn’t it? Finding and uniting on common ground while aggressively—but also kindly—carving out safe, constructive spaces for women of diverse experiences, genders, sexual orientation, bodies, voices and opinions. To that end, Ladyfest 2013 organizers cultivated a diverse set of workshops designed to empower, educate, inspire and recognize that the pragmatic can be the political. You can learn how to translate your life into autobiographical comics with renowned graphic novel author Liz Prince and, with the help of Girls Rock Philly, how to drum and how to hook up guitar pedals and amps. You can also learn how to fix a flat tire, create herbal remedies and learn more about how the web works. (On Sunday, I am leading a workshop in how to identify victim-blaming in the news and what you can do about it.) Workshops are presented, of course, between bands, which range from grindcore to folk, featuring Brooklyn “homopop” four-piece Aye Nako, Girls Rock Philly bands Blizzard Babies and BBNK and garage witch-punk Shady Hawkins, among others. / TARA MURTHA June 7-9. $10-$40.

The Dirk Quinn Band Take a look at guitarist Dirk Quinn’s stops on tour this summer, and it’s obvious the man has a love for the Keystone State. After all, before shipping out to Oregon, Oklahoma and Indiana in August, his four-piece Dirk Quinn Band is hitting Doylestown, Boyertown, Sanatoga, Warrington, Reading, Oley, Kintnersville, Harrisburg and Carlisle—those places! And to kick it all off, he’s hitting the World Café Live tonight, with help from a couple other Pennsylvania outfits. They include Flux Capacitor—named Jam Band of the Year by the Philly-based Tri-State Indie—who look and sound like the ‘70s never ended, and Vibratek, the funk-fusion players whose beats beg you to drop at least a little acid, describing themselves as not just a band, but “a vehicle that propels forwards and backwards through time and space.” Their website and YouTube clips sort of scream “final frontier,” so maybe they’re onto something. Meanwhile, the Dirk Quinn Band is touring in support of their newest LP, called Live at Home, a finely honed collection of tracks recorded over five shows around Philadelphia. Their style of improv and jamminess is highly refined, according to the Indie: “These guys have mastered the manipulation of meter and rhythm. It’s mismatched but purposeful—there are no mistakes here.” Not unless you miss the show. / RANDY LOBASSO 7pm. $12-$15. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. 215.222.1400. philly.worldcafelive.com

EVENTS IN THE GREATER PHILLY REGION
The B-52s In the summer of 2004, I was working at Wawa, making sandwiches for your average Wawa customer, hating every monotonous minute of it. There was this management-approved soundtrack played on a loop nonstop, and every day, without fail, I’d hear “Love Shack” by the B-52s three times during an eight-hour shift. For the first couple weeks, the upbeat, late-‘80s hit was sort of a pick-me-up. Maybe it was the bright, optimistic vocals of Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson. Maybe it was the robotic wailings of Fred Schneider, almost mocking their audience for finding him entertaining in the first place. I don’t know. But I’d be in the middle of an Italian Shorti, and suddenly, my shoulders would bend up and down to the tune. And compared to some of the other music on that playlist (Ace of Base, Cyndi Lauper, the Bee Gees, oh my), it was hard to resist that kind of catchy weirdness. By the third week, all the tracks had blended together into musical mush. By the fourth: The mush was still there, but so were the B-52s, standing out, like always, for conveying the tongue-in-cheek, thrift-store punkiness that assured you that they were in on the joke. No doubt the long-revered quartet will play this, their most popular tune, just once tonight, and they’ll be playing hits like “Roam,” “Rock Lobster” and whatever else tickles their fancies. Yours too. / R.L. 8pm. $67.50-$77.50. Keswick Theatre, 291 N. Keswick Ave., Glenside. 215.572.7650. keswicktheatre.com

InLiquid’s Art for the Cash Poor 14 Dedicated to keeping art accessible and affordable to a younger, poorer generation of collectors, InLiquid’s annual block party/art sale returns once again, packing the Crane Arts Building for an entire weekend of fun, food, music and art. More than 100 emerging local artists, designers and crafters will be in attendance, their selection of one-of-a-kind creations such as paintings, prints and photographs, clothing, jewelry and ceramics. Best of all, everything you see will be priced under $200, with most items falling in the $20 to $100 range. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck, sure, a piece of artwork might seem like a frivolous expenditure, regardless of how moderately priced it may be. But let’s face it: You know you’re just going to wind up spending that money on something way more frivolous. Plus, artists are known to get pretty generous once they’ve got a few drinks in them—just something to keep in mind. Creating a party-like atmosphere, an eclectic mix of local musicians will be performing each hour on both days, including Chuck Berry tribute band It’s Marvin, Your Cousin Marvin Berry on Saturday, and the soulful shouters and stompers of the GVTs on Sunday. Guests should also set a few extra bucks aside for refreshments and food truck fare, whether it’s a gourmet burger from SPOT, gourmet ice cream from Zsa’s or a fresh, locally sourced dish from The Farm Truck. If you want to get first dibs on the featured goods, a ticketed cocktail party/preview event will be held Friday night benefiting the AIDS Fund. / NICOLE FINKBINER Through Sun., June 9. Free. Noon.

Mobb Deep
It’s strange to think that Havoc and Prodigy put out their first album 20 years ago. The Infamous, the hard, hungry, minimalistic album that ate New York City and the world in ’95, is still one of the best examples of the raw power of hip-hop. They will be stopping by Philly with an album baking in the oven, so testing out piping-hot tracks is a distinct possibility. 8pm. $20-$65.

PrideDay Parade and Festival Pride means a lot of things to a lot of different people. For some, their first, it’s a day they’ve been looking forward to eagerly just to be surrounded by queerness and celebration. For a host of others, out for decades, rejoicing in the brother- and sisterhood of gay simply never gets old. For 362 days of the year, we have pride in our own individualistic ways. But in June, for one weekend of every year, we come together in the spirit of Harvey Milk and Giovanni’s Room to shout “We’re here! We’re queer!” And with Philly Pride celebrating a quarter century of PrideDay this year, folks are having no problem getting used to it. Friday night is a kick-off block party on 12th Street between Walnut and Spruce from 6 to 11 p.m.; word is that there’ll be a mechanical shark to ride, something called “wrecking ball” and outdoor dancing, followed by Gayborhood revelry. On Saturday, you get the William Way Center’s homecoming and the annual Philadelphia Dyke March. Then on Sunday, the city explodes with rainbows. Starting at noon at the intersection of 13th and Locust, the PrideDay Parade finishes with a Penn’s Landing destination, where things’ll get a little weird and very gay. More than 150 groups and organizations are participating, and so is the evilly bewitching reality TV star Omarosa Manigault, with Henri David as the fest’s master of ceremonies. Miss and Mr. Philly Gay Pride will be heralded, youth grand marshals will beam, and gays will dance until their legs hurt. Pride month is here! And it is most certainly queer. / BILL CHENEVERT Noon.

Tricky put out two records in the ‘90s that were mind-blowing: 1995’s Maxinquaye and 1996’s Pre-Millenium Tension. Of course, he’d been an integral part of the groundbreaking Massive Attack until then, but these two LPs felt like achievements— complete, brilliant artistic statements. The 45-year-old Bristol, U.K., native’s a pretty odd duck, so it feels only appropriate that he made his big-screen debut in 1997’s The Fifth Element. But some of the weirdest dudes on earth have proven to be some of our most inspiring and game-changing musicians. And with this brand new and fresh False Idols, Tricky says he found himself again. Luckily for us, it’s an incredibly strong LP, harkening back to those debut solo LPs, and reflects the Tricky Kid we’ve always known and loved. Sure, there’ve been some discs in his deep catalogue that weren’t homeruns, but the man’s a legit legend in the trip-hop world. His grimy, gravelly rumbles over blissed-out beats are one of a kind, and he has a real ear for tapping angelic young female vocalists to flesh out his visions—or night terrors, same diff. The fact that Philly’s one of his 10-date domestic tour destinations is truly celebration-worthy. Trip-hop fans rejoice, and get your asses to Union Transfer for a really memorable occasion. / B.C.

Powder Her Face. “This is where the naughty business happens,” David Devan grins, gesturing expansively around him at the stage of the Kimmel Center’s Perelman Theater, where the oppressively pink hotel-room set of Opera Philadelphia’s new production, Powder Her Face, is awaiting its first dress rehearsal. The company’s general director, Devan enthusiastically demonstrates how every piece of the life-sized Barbie stage flips around to reveal hidden props: “Everything slides in and out!” If that’s not an innuendo, it should be; Powder Her Face is inspired by the true story of Margaret, Duchess of Argyll, a mid-century English socialite whose sexual escapades rocked the nation with scandal in the ’60s. As Devan puts it: “She was the original cougar.” The opera, notorious for its semi-explicit musical depiction of fellatio, is a melange of jazz, tango and classical styles, and features only a four-person cast, which means soprano Patricia Schuman (pictured, at left and on PW’s cover this week) has a virtuoso feat to accomplish in the role of the duchess—all the more so because she jumped into the role last-minute when the originally cast star had to back out after unexpected complications from dental surgery. “We’re thanking the opera gods that an actress of this caliber was willing to take such a risk,” Devan says. June 7–16. Opera Philadelphia at the Perelman Theater, Kimmel Center, 260 S. Broad St. 215.893.1018. operaphila.org

The Lumineers will light up the FireFly Music Festival in late June.
Philly PrideDay Parade and Festival Come out and take part in the biggest networking event for the LGBT community of Philadelphia as they celebrate the 25th anniversary of PrideDay. Begin your day of festivities at noon cheering on the Pride parade culminating at 13th and Locust streets. Around 1:30, the parade will reach the festival site at Penn’s Landing which will be up and ready to amuse crowds for a day dedicated to rejoicing acceptance and being proud of who you are. June 9, noon. $10. Various locations. phillypride.org Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll Can you think back to those days when a dollar bill could buy you more than a large can of Arizona Ice Tea? Thanks to the lovely people behind The Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll, one lone dollar means deals, dining and much, much more, making that big bag of change look a lot less like garbage and a lot more like my lunch. Try to come out early, though, as the popularity of this event drew out thousands of people last year, all looking to make better use of those single dollar bills. June 13, 5:30pm. Baltimore Ave., 42nd and 50th sts. universitycity.org/ baltimore-ave-dollar-stroll The Awesome Fest Summer months don’t just mean beach houses, beer gardens and music festivals. In Philadelphia, it also means a 10-week city-wide celebration of the radical era we call the ‘80s. The creators of the Awesome Fest have worked tirelessly to throw this mainly free affair featuring over 50 events, ranging from outdoor movie screenings to a full-blown ‘80’s style prom, where some lucky festival-goers will be crowned King and Queen. June 14-Aug. 17. Various times and locations. theawesomefest.com Summer Solstice Salsa Party Morris Arboretum is throwing a Latin-style fiesta in their Azalea meadow for a celebra-
tion honoring the longest day of the year. Learn to salsa dance early in the day so you can groove to the sizzling hot music later provided by the Café Con Pan Band. And, if you work up an appetite, enjoy samples of the all-natural salsas provided by the Easton Salsa Company for this true SummerSolstice-salsa extravaganza. June 20, 6pm. $20-$30. Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, 100 E. Northwestern Ave. 215.247.5777. upenn.edu FireFly Music Festival Just because you couldn’t afford to fly to California for Coachella and aren’t willing to drive the 13 hours to get to Bonnaroo doesn’t mean you have to miss out on having a festival experience this summer. FireFly is probably the most diverse and worthwhile music festival the Northeast has to offer, making the hour and a half drive to Delaware definitely worth the trip to catch acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kendrick Lamar, the Lumineers and Calvin Harris. June 21-23. $98 per day. Dover, Delaware. fireflyfestival.com Manayunk Arts Festival One of the best things about Manayunk is that it gives you the feeling of escaping the city, while also providing the many perks of hanging out in an urban area: good food, wide-ranging shopping and a neighborhood thriving on the arts. For its 24th year, Manayunk will be hosting the tri-state’s largest outdoor, juried arts festival where nearly 200,000 collectors, buyers and designers will come to showcase some of the finest arts and crafts from across the country.

Lunch Box
Nicole gets behind the wheel of the award-winning Vernalicious food truck. By Nicole Finkbiner // nfinkbiner@philadelphiaweekly.com
L
ike most people who have ever gotten delicious fare on the streets of this city, I’ve always been curious how food truck vendors do what they do. And with the third annual Vendy Awards—the ultimate cook-off between the city’s best sidewalk chefs—happening this Saturday, now seemed like the perfect opportunity to find out. To help guide me out of my culinary comfort zone and into a sweltering steel box on wheels, I reached out to the Vendy’s 2012 “People’s Choice” winner, Verna Swerdlow, co-owner of Vernalicious. (Due to a scheduling conflict, Vernalicious had to bow out of the competition this year, and I’m sure the finalists are more than happy not to be competing with Verna’s award-winning pulled-pork grilled cheese.) Though Verna initially invited me to her main kitchen space in Upper Darby, I insisted on getting the authentic food truck experience (aka seeing firsthand what happens when you put four people in a small, poorly ventilated space for several hours a day). We arranged to meet just after the lunch rush at the Porch at 30th Street Station. (Find out where they’re going to be by following them on Twitter: @Vernalicious1). With the temperature outside creeping into the 90s and the temperature inside the truck presumably creeping into the 100s, I was a tad hesitant to step inside, but took comfort in knowing that Verna has never passed out from heat exhaustion on the job. (She’s come close, though.) The truck was surprisingly spacious. Depending on the venue and/or event, Verna says up to eight people can fit in there at one time. I’ve certainly cooked in much tighter spaces and under far more restrictive circumstances: My sophomore year at Temple, I shared a one-bedroom “apartment” in which the kitchen was essentially just an extension of my closet, consisting of only a stove, sink and mini fridge. Joining my photographer and I were Verna’s cooks, Nick and Chris, and her boyfriend/business partner David Jurkofsky. With Vernalicious being known for its fresh, classic comfort foods, it only seemed right that we craft the ultimate lunchtime sandwich: the turkey club. After a failed attempt to impress me with his bread-slinging skills, Nick used a handy rolling device to butter our three slices of Texas toast (not the frozen stuff ), then threw them onto the flattop for about a minute while Verna and I shimmied a foot and a half over to the counter to begin assembling our two-tier sandwich, starting with the sliced turkey. Having never purchased any type of lunchmeat for myself, I immediately asked if she had any advice on the topic of buying cold cuts. “You don’t want anything that smells bad or looks bad,” Verna says. “I think it’s important that you trust your sources.” In other words: Don’t be buying no funky lunchmeat from some shady ass deli around the corner in hopes of saving a few bucks (something I would totally do). Verna demands only the finest ingredients, relying on local farms like Green Meadow in Lancaster County for her produce and poultry whenever she can, even if it comes with a higher price tag. “I charged $9 dollars for a club sandwich today, $10 dollars for a Cobb salad,” she says. “And you know what? It was worth it.”

As proof, both were sold out by the time I arrived. Knowing that Verna had gone through the trouble of reserving her remaining ingredients just for me, I had a hard time being completely open when she asked if there was anything on the sandwich that I didn’t eat. I casually noted that I wasn’t a big fan of veggies, keeping tight-lipped about one of my biggest and weirdest food pet peeves: bacon on anything other than an empty plate. That’s right—I don’t want bacon on top of my burger, I don’t want it sprinkled in my mac and cheese, I don’t want it anywhere near my cupcake, and I certainly don’t want it tainting an otherwise delicious heap of sliced turkey breast. Do I have any sort of explanation for this? No. Perhaps I just love bacon too much to have its flavor muddled by other stuff. Later, when Verna wasn’t looking, I quickly snatched it out of the sandwich and ate it separately. Since she and David hadn’t eaten lunch yet and because this was their very last club, Verna decided to cut it in fours for all of us to share. Now, normally, I’m pretty stingy when
it comes to food. When you go from living with two older brothers to a bunch of stoners, you tend to fall into squirrellike behavior to protect your stash. But having done all of the work, Verna seemed entitled to at least one fourth of a sandwich. And given how satisfying that small fraction proved to be, along with the side of her mild jalapeño potato salad, I’m relieved I wasn’t left to tackle the full shebang myself. One might scoff at the sandwich’s simplicity, but personally, I appreciate Verna’s no-frills approach to lunch. “To me, a club sandwich is a club sandwich,” she says. “I don’t mess around with what’s supposed to be in it.” And messing with the quality isn’t good, either. The ingredients need to be fresh, regardless of whether you’re making a turkey club or something far more elaborate. But please leave off the bacon.

N
ow that Philly Beer Week has arrived in all its sudsy glory, talk has turned, even more than usual, to what we are all drinking right now. Of course, missing out on some Beer Week events is inevitable. There are just too many great gatherings happening at the same time. Fortunately, missing an event or three doesn’t mean that you have to go without good beer: There are countless great retailers in the region that boast some seriously deep selections. With this in mind, I set out to taste a range of beers that are worth stocking up on as springtime slowly melts into summer, and that will work well during both this most sacred week of the year and beyond. Most of the following are available at the Foodery (find locations and info at fooderybeer.com), and many of them elsewhere as well. Founders, the standout Michigan brewer, produces the always delicious Centennial IPA, which, over the years, has become a standard in my fridge. Lately, however, I’ve found myself also enjoying the All Day IPA, a deliciously sessionable ale with distinct notes of Ritz crackers, citrus fruit and flowers. Session beers, in fact, seem to be on the rise here as consumers realize that hopping an ale as aggressively as possible, and aiming for wine-level alcohol levels, don’t necessarily make for better drinking, just more potent. To that end, I’ve also found myself sipping the Narragansett Summer Ale and the Anderson Valley Summer Solstice, the former a crisp, deliriously refreshing beer and the latter a sweeter, more fruit-driven brew that works particularly well early in the day—it will shine with pancakes and bacon. More powerful but still briskly refreshing is the Great Divide Colette, a farmhouse ale that, despite its 7.3 percent ABV, is perfect in hot and humid weather. Brooklyn Brewery is a producer that feels perpetually underappreciated around here, which is a shame. The lager is a touch maltier than you might expect, and this makes it go down even eas-
ier than many of its counterparts. Sometimes, of course, you want more power in your brew, or a bit more drama, which is where the Firestone Walker anniversary bottlings come in. They’re based on blends created by top California winemakers, and each one, though different, is an embodiment of how complex and rewarding their beers can be. And there’s Apiarius from ShawneeCraft, a brewery in Shawnee on Delaware, Pa. It’s brewed with honey from the producer’s very own hives, but it’s not really sweet. This beauty boasts complex flavors of fresh-baked country bread, spice cake and lemon curd. And, finally, we come to the gloriously named Schmaltz Brewing Company’s He’brew Rejewvenator, a “dubbel doppel” kissed with figs and dates. It’s a great, complex way to end the night ... or begin the next morning. Visit phillybeerweek.org to find out where these breweries will be featured during Philly Beer Week.

Nomad Pizza
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 palatecleanser 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. The accompanying horseradish crema was a nice traditional touch, if not a terribly necessary one. (Brian Freedman) BLUE CAT 1921 Fairmount Ave. bluecatrestaurant.com Cuisine: Latin-inspired comfort food. Blue Cat’s airy, friendly atmosphere, casual and competent service and comfortable pan-Latin food bring new freshness and life to its Fairmount neighborhood. Salmon filet, beneath a gorgeous crust from the cast-iron skillet, is a simple, delicate dish, topped with a mango salsa as straightforward as it is bright. Chacarero, a riff on the Chilean sandwich, is piled high with avocado, string beans, red pepper and grilled chicken; this is a sandwich that’s as filling as it is unexpectedly good for you. (B.F.) THE MILDRED 824 S. Eighth St. 267.687.1600. the-mildred.com Cuisine: Farm-to-table, American. The Mildred’s seasonal menu is built around food from local sources. The Mildred Salad makes for a refreshing start with salted almond, lemon confit and fresh herbs. The hand-spun chitarra with braised cockles, bacon and beer did not disappoint. The pasta is fresh and cooked al dente, while the cockles are tender; the dish satisfies the craving for salt and butter without being heavy or oily. The standout of the meal is the braised chicken and biscuits with herbs and vegetables. Healthy chunks of onion, squash, carrot and celery season the chicken, served hot in a skillet. Don’t skip dessert: Meyer lemon tart with fresh huckleberries, huckleberry sauce and thyme creme glace is fresh and not overly sweet. (Cristina Perachio) NOMAD PIZZA 611 S. Seventh St. 215.238.0900. nomadpizzaco.com Cuisine: Considerate, well-constructed pizza. This is a charming oasis from the craziness of South Street a block away and a great entry to the city’s ever-expanding pizza-stakes. All of the pizzas are framed by a dough that’s crafted in-house. Straight-
forward margherita di buffala pizza benefited from the palate-filling milkiness of the cheese. Against the simple, elegant San Marzano sauce and gentle dusting of sea salt and pepper, this pizza worked on a deeply primal level. (B.F.) RITTENHOUSE TAVERN 251 S. 18th St. 215.732.2412. rittenhousetavern.com Cuisine: Fresh and seasonal American fare. With an attentive staff and a private garden for outdoor seating, the Tavern makes for a lovely night out in the city. The prosciutto-wrapped figs with Gorgonzola and honey offer a salty crunch on the outside and a burst of sweetness from the fig. Another notable dish is the five day-boat sea scallops, their tops seared to perfection, bathing in an amaranth truffle butter sauce with fresh and tender chanterelles and turnips. Don’t ignore the summer-y desserts like the cherry-graham-cracker tarte, lovingly paired with crunchy pistachio ice cream. Cherry and sea-salted fudge squares come complimentary with the check. (C.P.) SHAKE SHACK 2000 Sansom St. 215.809.1742. shakeshack.com Cuisine: Burgers, dogs, shakes, custards. The signature Shack Burger is grilled and topped with a melted slice of cheese, crisp leaf lettuce, tomatoes that are red almost beyond expectation and Shack Sauce, a creamy pinkish concoction that recalls the tang of Thousand Island dressing with none of the bitterness or bite. Crinkle-cut fries are crisp and 14-carat golden, with or without their signature cheddar-American blend cheese sauce—a treat that makes our hometown cheese, Whiz, look like the processed, unnatural mess that it is. Custards are spectacularly creamy and rich, and even the iced tea-lemonade “Fifty/Fifty” is notably on point: tart, bitter, refreshing and without the cloying sweetness of most versions. (Leah Blewett) VERNICK FOOD & DRINK 2301 Walnut St. 267.639.6644. Cuisine: Internationally inspired American bistro. vernickphilly.com One of the most exciting new entries into Philadelphia’s ever-expanding restaurant scene, Vernick presents food that’s inventive yet rooted, global in inspiration yet American at its core. Start with red and gold beets dressed up with a red-wine vinaigrette, squares of nutty-sharp Moliterno cheese and sweet pistachios candied with fennel seeds. Move on to pork blade medallions; mustard greens and marmalade; flavorful potato ravioli. Finish with an impossibly moist carrot cake whose cream-cheeseand-fromage-blanc-vanilla icing is as addictive as anything in the city. (B.F.)

e know this Pride Month’s opening weekend is going to be out of control—in the best way possible—but get ready to paint the town every color of the rainbow. Here are five can’t-miss ways to get your celebration on. PGMC Pride Drag Revue Back by popular demand, the Philadelphia Gay Men’s Chorus is ushering in Pride Weekend with their usual song and splendor, with a little drag in between. The informal cabaret will feature a sampling of the group’s vast repertoire—classic rock, current Top 40, Broadway’s biggest numbers, etc.—guaranteeing to satisfy every musical palate in the audience. All of the event’s proceeds will go directly back to PGMC, helping their singing brothers cover the costs of membership dues, concert tuxedos and the group’s trip to a performance in Portland next year. With this year marking the 25th anniversary of Philly Pride, attendees are being asked to come dressed in their snazziest and/or sexiest silver attire, with pockets full of green for the various drink specials and raffle tickets. Thurs., June 6, 8pm. $10. iCandy, 254 S. 12th St. pgmc.org William Way Homecoming Showcasing and celebrating all the insanely talented individuals that make Philly’s LGBT community as vibrant as it is, William Way Community Center’s annual homecoming has become one of Pride Weekend’s premiere events. While guests feast on a Mediterranean buffet dinner and cocktails, a brilliantly diverse lineup of entertainers will take the stage: everyone from choreographer/dancer Meg Foley
to the badass babes of the Philly Roller Girls—and perhaps the biggest star of the night: RuPaul’s Drag Race Season Three runner-up Manila Luzon. Emceeing the event is the dazzling duo Miss Mary Wanna and the Notorious OMG. Sat., June 8, 6pm. $50. William Way Community Center, 1315 Spruce St. waygay.org Big Gay Wedding Weekend You are cordially invited to join the staff of Sisters Nightclub for two back-to-back bashes benefiting the Marriage Equality March in Harrisburg slated for June 22. It kicks off Friday with the “Bachelor & Bachelorette Party,” featuring dancers and drink specials, all leading up to the “Wedding & Reception” on Saturday. Since Pennsylvania is one of 38 states where same sex couples can’t be legally united, guests can come and get “formally attached” for the night with keepsake rings and a certificate. Of course, what’s a wedding without complimentary champagne and delicious cake? Really, the only difference between this wedding and an actual wedding is that instead of ending with “I Dos,” it’ll end with one big collective “F-U.” Fri.-Sat., June 14-15, 9pm. $8. Sisters Nightclub, 1320 Chancellor St. 215.735.0735. sistersnightclub.com HISphoria: TRANS and DYSPHORIC Documentary Screening Making its Philly premiere, this unflinchingly candid documentary tells the story of Christian Axavier Lovehall, a Philadelphia man of trans experience who shares his daily struggles with gender dysphoria and his emotional turmoil about being pre-op. While one might not need to watch a film to understand the incredible
courage it takes to endure day-to-day life suffering from such an all-consuming affliction, it’s important that people have a better understanding of the rarely documented and under-studied symptoms related to gender dysphoria and the misconceptions about trans-specific surgery. Open to all ages, the screening will serve as a fundraiser, helping Lovehall pay for his “top surgery.” Wed., June 19, 7pm. $10. William Way Community Center, 1315 Spruce St. waygay.org Cazwell Live Sure to be the sweatiest summer party this side of the Atlantic City Expressway, rapper and songwriter Cazwell is bringing his impeccably chiseled torso, glaring blue eyes and infectious hits to Tabu for an intimate, one-night-only performance. Describing his style as “if Biggie Smalls ate Donna Summer for breakfast,” the young artist first made a name for himself in the New York club scene and has since managed to win over mainstream audiences, thanks to the videos for his 2010 singles “I Seen Beyoncé at Burger King” and “Ice Cream Truck.” No word on whether he’ll be bringing any popsicles (maybe if the audience plays really nice), but you can count on hearing these hits live, accompanied by the electric beats of DJ’s Xavier B. and Javascript. Hosted by Tammy Fabulous, the show will feature an opening set from Philly’s own sensual sensation JNATHEN. Tickets are likely to sell out fast, and for an extra $15 bucks, you can get up close and personal with the rapper during a VIP meet-and-greet, as well as a onehour open bar. Sat., June 29, 9pm. $15-$30. Tabu Lounge & Sports Bar, 200 S. 12th St. 215.964.9675. tabuphilly.com

Ready for a New Mann? Added seats plus already-sold-out dates equal a bright summer. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com
T
here have been countless landmark performances in the 37-year history of the Mann Center for the Performing Arts in West Philadelphia, from the Bolshoi Ballet to Yo-Yo Ma—even Mikhail Baryshnikov’s been there. But this year, the Mann’s got one of the strongest pools of talent they’ve ever collected into one season’s bookings. In order to fill nearly 14,000 seats, the venue has teamed with AEG Live for the past six years, and it seems like for the next few months, they’re showing and proving that the Mann is really hitting its stride. Not only have they pulled together a staggering lineup of concerts, but there have been significant structural improvements, and they’re debuting a brand new stage that’s sure to provide some of the summer’s best shows. Earlier this spring, and even back when it was snowing, the Mann Center started announcing their lineup: Belle & Sebastian with Yo La Tengo (Wed., July 10), Postal Service with Ra Ra Riot (Mon., June 17), FUN. with Tegan and Sara (Fri., July 19—this one’s already sold out), New Order (Fri., July 26), Steely Dan (Sat., Sept. 21), and the list keeps going. Wow, we thought. That is some lineup. And really, that’s just the tip of the iceberg and just the indie rock stuff. We’ll get to what else is happening in a minute. Cathy Cahill is the CEO and president of the Mann Center, and she comes to the Philly institution as a former general manager of the Brooklyn Philharmonic and the director of Grant Park’s 10-week music fest on Chicago’s waterfront. This week marks her five-year anniversary at the Mann, and she concedes that her job’s not easy. “The history of the Mann and the artistic excellence are a heavy mantle of responsibility for me,” she told PW. “Certainly audience’s tastes are changing—[we have] to keep the Mann vital and competitive.” And that’s what they’re doing, with AEG Live’s Jon Hampton. Cahill joined forces with Hampton, a senior talent buyer with AEG, when she first started, which may have been the best thing she could’ve done for the big shell out in Fairmount Park. That moved helped expand the Mann’s offerings, taking the venue from its older-demo, cultural cliquishness to a more modern mindset. “Our first season was in 2010; this is our fourth season.
We created a partnership with the Mann, and we came in with a conscious move to turn around the perception of the Mann,” Hampton told PW. “The [Philadelphia] Orchestra is a huge part of the Mann, but we also wanted to turn it around and have it appeal to young urbanites. So we consciously went after bands like MGMT, Arcade Fire and Passion Pit.” And it is quite a stark contrast between, say, The National, who open the season this Friday night, and the concluding metal-fest—the Monster Energy Rock Allegiance Tour, which features Volbeat, HIM, All That Remains and Airbourne. Of course, the orchestra’s still there. The big difference this summer is that they did some revamping. About 5,000 seats lie under the cover of a giant, cedar spaceship-looking roof, then there are nearly 4,500 uncovered, all-weather stadium seats (brand new!) and room for another 4,000 attendees on a lush, thick green lawn. There used to be some ominous chain-linked fencing that ran around the perimeter of the rear lawn area, but since last summer, the Mann has worked with the Parks Commission to remove it, and extend the lawn into a pedestrian-friendly promenade which takes you over to an officially brand new stage, the Skyline Stage. The Skyline Stage will hold 4,000 in a general-admission capacity and boost the Mann’s ability to snag bands that don’t really want to do a 10,000-person seated show on the same stage that the Philadelphia Orchestra performs Disney’s Fantasia (Tuesday, July 23). “It’s giving me and the Mann the opportunity to stretch out our bookings a bit, and there were plenty of acts, like Jimmy Eat World or Dropkick Murphys, who want GA. So, we have that option, and it’s opened up possibilities for bookings,” Hampton beamed. Dropkick Murphys are a far cry from the Van Cliburn tribute that’ll happen on Aug. 1st, but that’s one of the most beautiful things about this place: Aside from the obvious, awe-inspiring beauty of the setting, nestled in trees and just far enough out of Center City to provide a breathtaking view of the Philly skyline, the Mann Center is bringing a breath of fresh air amid the noise this summer. And they’ve got a jaw-dropping season of entertainment in store.
side from the indie rock, orchestras and adult entertainment on deck, every year, the Mann Center stages a handful of shows targeting youth, and they’re transformative experiences. Rhoda Blount programs as many as five (this summer, four) Mondays in which she draws in acts from around the world to perform for area children who wouldn’t normally get exposed to certain finer arts. Not only does Blount curate the shows and put them on at the Mann, but she also gets kids bussed in who can’t afford transportation. Cirque Zuma Zuma kicks off the Young People’s Concert Series on July 8. She may not be an educator, but Blount has a way with words—and kids. The jazz enthusiast and singer tries to get a veritable rainbow of cultures and colors onto that stage, and for this season, dubbed “Capture the Culture: Four Magical Mondays,” she nabbed a get she’s been tracking down for a while: Black Violin. “I’ve been trying to get this group for about five years now,” said Blount, a Temple grad who’s been with the Mann for 17 years. “These are two young men who were trained classically. They show an appreciation for classical music, but they do everything: Jay-Z; they come in with a DJ and a trap drummer. So I think the kids are gonna get really excited.” The adults are, too. Because Ms. Blount don’t play. “Everyone participates. Put the phone away.” For these shows, the expectation is that everyone is on their best Mann manners. “You’re gonna respect my theater, you’re gonna respect my artist. Most of all you’re gonna respect yourself.” Preach! (B.C.)

Happily Ever After Is Hard In Before Midnight, Richard Linklater’s romantic trilogy sheds romantic idealism for the actual love story. By Sean Burns // sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com
B
An Oversimplification of Her Beauty
A Sweet Love, Unrequited An Oversimplification of Her Beauty is anything but oversimplified.
“I
n layman’s terms, I got Friend Zoned,” Terence Nance announces late into An Oversimplification of Her Beauty, summing up in seven words this rambunctious multimedia kaleidoscope of missed connections and unrequited affection. Audacious, playful and sometimes quite sad, it’s also beyond selfindulgent and wears a little thin over the long haul. But still, what a dazzling debut. The title itself is something of a hoot, as there’s nothing oversimplified about this picture. It’s expanded from an autobiographical short film called How Would You Feel? that Nance made in 2010 as a devotional object for his dreamgirl (Namik Minter, whose name is redacted in the copious onscreen text, but cheerfully plays herself all the same). They’re friends without benefits, and Nance longs for so much more, bemoaning her “serious committed relationship” while yearning his way through lonely nights and the hand-to-mouth grind of a struggling artist, eking out a meager living as a subway busker. Narrated in hilariously stentorian tones by The Wire’s Reg E. Cathey (who, perhaps more importantly, played Dirty Dee in Pootie Tang), the second-person verse attains the qualities of an incantation, painstakingly listing the reasons that “you” are not worthy of her. We begin by watching the original short, which is then periodically stopped and ejected like a VHS tape as Nance layers on the documentary and animated asides, reflexively commenting on the form and busting a gut when he’s not breaking your heart. The most visually adventurous movie I’ve seen in years, An Oversimplification of Her Beauty never once settles for a conventional scene. Hell, it never settles for a conventional shot. The freezeframes, backwards motion, flow-charts, flying text and squiggly overlays would probably be exhausting were they not all synced to such a melancholy groove. Namik’s the one that got away, glimpsed mainly in fragments of her face as her attentions remain elusive. My favorite image arrives during one of the cartoon interludes, as chunks of Nance’s massive, magisterial afro break off and drift up to the sky, transforming into storm clouds that suddenly rain to accompany his crying. As far as self-pitying self-portraits go, that’s aces. I honestly could have done without the extra meta-level of Minter’s videotaped reactions at a How Would You Feel? screening, but given the seemingly limitless creative energy here, it’s hard to fault Nance for throwing in everything, including the kitchen sink. I can’t wait to see what he does next. (Sean Burns)
ack in 1995, I was not a fan of director Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise, seeing it as a rather gooey wish-fulfillment fantasy in which Ethan Hawke and his scruffy goatee spend a chatty, wistful night in Vienna wooing an impossibly adorable French co-ed played by Julie Delpy. Maybe it was my then-resentment of Hawke’s Reality Bites-ish persona as the spokesman for my generation as a bunch of pompous windbags with poor hygiene and overextended library cards, or maybe I just hadn’t gotten laid in a while. Either way, I kind of hated it. Nine years later, Before Sunset changed all that. On a book tour in Paris promoting a novel he wrote based upon that one enchanted evening, Hawke’s Jesse happened again upon Delpy’s Celine, and the two verbally danced around one another for 80-odd minutes of conversation fraught with sexual tension and aching regret. Where Before Sunrise seemed an over-idealized romantic illusion, 2004’s Before Sunset was an older and sadder tale about the toll such fantasies can take. Jesse’s miserable marriage and Celine’s string of broken relationships eloquently addressed the danger of over-idealizing that first movie’s magic moments. And yet, somehow Sunset was swooningly romantic at the very same time, ending with one of my favorite final exchanges in semi-recent films. Good lord, has it been another nine years already? For folks my age—which is to say perilously close to the protagonists’—to watch that first film again is to wonder if we ever were so young and naïve. And so Before Midnight picks up exactly where it should: with all the previous pictures’ dreamy notions battered away by the grinding banality of day-today life. Celine and Jesse have settled down and become parents. There’s no more ticking clock structure, no more star-crossed schmaltz. As Judd Apatow tried (and failed) to illustrate last Christmas, this is 41. We begin with Hawke dropping off his now teenage son at the airport, fumbling through an awkward goodbye, as the kid’s mom is still insanely pissed that Jesse missed that plane home from Paris nine years ago, just as Delpy predicted. Celine’s waiting in the car with their curly-headed, goldilocked twin mop-
Scenes from a marriage: Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke return as Jesse and Cecile in Before Midnight, the third installment in Richard Linklater’s film series.
pets, and the family summer vacation in Greece is quickly coming to an end. Before Midnight is the first film in the series where anybody else is allowed to talk, and Linklater almost bungles an early dinner in a Greek villa, owned by a patron of the arts who, for some reason, seems to think Jesse is a great novelist, despite the fact that his two best-sellers, This Time and That Time, were basically diary entries based on the movies we’ve already seen, and the constant confusion regarding their similar titles is Linklater’s slyest bit of self-mockery. Couples spanning in ages from kids to the elderly offer their thoughts on relationships, and the initial reaction is to groan upon realizing that, since they’re all in Messinia, Linklater has provided an actual, honest to gawd Greek chorus. But Before Midnight quickly course-corrects, as these benefactors are taking care of the kids for the evening and have purchased Celine and Jesse an evening at swanky hotel room in town. For the first time in a very long time indeed, these two are going to be alone together. This is what we paid for. You might have already noticed how all their bantering repartee at that dinner cut a little too close to the bone, and more than one joke landed with a thud. It’s fairly obvious that Celine and Jesse have some ongoing, serious shit that needs to get sorted. Now, finally freed from any distractions, it’s all coming out tonight. Before Midnight is often hysterical,
and there is no overstating the ease with which Delpy and Hawke—having inhabited these roles for almost 20 years, and both co-wrote the past couple screenplays—ease into a natural rapport that’s simply thrilling to watch. Linklater shoots it all in elegantly blocked long takes that go on and on and on. Celine’s and Jesse’s verbal sparring matches are as intricately choreographed as any car chase in a Fast & Furious sequel—and are equally as thrilling. A bravura hotel room argument spans 30 minutes and outdoes Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage, capturing the way that only somebody who knows you better than you know yourself can say the exact worst thing to cut you down to size. The gloves are off, and our sentimental history, given the past two pictures, makes it more suspenseful than a thriller. Before Midnight is a movie about compromise and negotiation. The previous two pictures were preoccupied with romantic ideals, but this is the real love story. So funny and so wise, it’s about how happily ever after is harder than it looks. And Delpy’s last line still makes me smile every time I think about it.

ON THE RECORD CAMERA OBSCURA
ON THE IDIOT BOX
ON THE MENU
Desire Lines (4AD Records) Sounds like: The fifth from the legendary Glasgow collective is another maudlin mix of folksy country, wispy romanticism and sensitive Americana. Free association: Guest vocals from Neko Case and Jim James! Good move. For fans of: Belle & Sebastian, She & Him + The Cure with Jenny Lewis, sensitive sluts. (Bill Chenevert)
BATHS Obsidian (Anticon) Sounds like: L.A. producer Will Wiesenfeld exceeds expectations with his great debut, a thoughtful, catchy and glitch-hoppy electronic statement of beauty. Free association: It’s fun teasing out all the records you know have influenced this one. For fans of: Pinback + DJ Shadow, Bibio/ Boards of Canada, postmodern emo electronica. (B.C.)
LUKE’S LOBSTER
ELEANOR FRIEDBERGER Personal Record (Merge Records) Sounds like: The seasoned professional’s sophomore solo LP is another dazzling collection of her witty, mature songwriting done up with tight guitar game. Free association: Her brother and co-Fiery Furnace is as much of a fan as we are. For fans of: Cat Power x Sufjan + Yo La Tengo, St. Vincent, grown-ass women. (B.C.)
DIRTY BEACHES Drifters/Love is the Devil (Zoo Music) Sounds like: Alex Zhang Hungtai’s lo-fi experimental project mixes noise and found sound sampling with morose, whispery bellowing, and it’s pretty awesome. Free association: Not a breezy Sunday morning listen, but dude’s on top of his game. For fans of: Xiu Xiu with Roy Orbison + Daughn Gibson, Suicide, goth beach noise. (B.C.)
TERENCE BLANCHARD Magnetic (Blue Note Records) Sounds like: The 51-year-old trumpeter from NOLA is back on Blue Note for an inspired set with a killer backing band to make new fans and light up jazz nerds. Free association: Take a nap with it, cook dinner to it, study with it—it’s great noise. For fans of: Wynton Marsalis x Miles Davis + Donald Harrison, sophisticated bedding. (B.C.)
THE-DREAM IV Play (Island/Def Jam) Sounds like: The hit-making songwriter and producer’s also a pretty fly R&B vocalist, and, at 35, his fifth isn’t all misses, but there are some big fat hits. Free association: “Turnt” has Bey; “Where Have You Been” has Kelz. Bam, boom. For fans of: Rihanna/Jay x Big Sean + Pusha T with Fabolous, songs like “Pussy So Wet.” (B.C.)
The Hero
THE HERO Thursdays, 8pm, TNT Captive audience: Adventurous reality show fans; people who love seeing The Rock just smiling and sweating all the time. Moment of truth: Apparently, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson isn’t content starring in all the action movies currently playing in multiplexes; he also wants to be in the reality show competition business. Johnson serves as the all-knowing host and mentor to nine contestants who compete in “heroic” (read: pointlessly dangerous) games in order to win money. Considering that the contestants—complete with a goofy white boy, a mom who can’t stop crying and, of course, a loud, selfish black woman no one likes—are just another bunch of annoying tools, the real hero might be you for sitting through it. Emmy or phlegmmy: Phlegmmy. (Craig D. Lindsey)
130 S. 17th St., with locations in New York, D.C. and Maryland. lukeslobster.com/philly Here’s the dish: Lobster Roll. Description: Caught in and shipped from the waters of Maine, these crustaceous critters are treated like royalty from the moment they’re snagged until the moment they reach your plate. (But how you treat them while eating is all on you.) The result is clean, delicate lobster meat (it takes five or six claws to fill one sammie, btw), chilled and placed atop a toasted roll with just a tad of mayo, lemon butter and spices. Yes, that’s it. The meat is so fresh that it doesn’t need to be masked by fillers you’re unable to identify. And, you know, that’s important, because seafood poisoning is really no fun. The crab roll here is a game-changer, and it’s a little more affordable than its partner in claw. Yum or yuck? Yum. Fresh seafood wasn’t really Philly’s thing, until now. (Nina Hoffmann)
ON THE GUEST LIST
THE FALL Currently streaming on Netflix.com Captive audience: Police procedural fans; Anglophiles; guys who love Dana Scully, especially when she talks in a British accent. Moment of truth: While the new season of Arrested Development got all the attention when it started recently streaming on Netflix Instant, this BBC-produced drama, which also premiered on the video-on-demand service last week, deserves just as much love. The X-Files’ Gillian Anderson is back being both deductive and sexy as hell as a British detective drafted by Belfast police to track down a serial killer (Jamie Dornan), who we follow as he hides in plain sight as a strait-laced husband and father. The show is so suspenseful and well-orchestrated, it’s a shame it’s only five, easily consumable episodes long. Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (C.D.L.)
THE FOSTERS Mondays, 9pm, ABC Family Captive audience: Lesbian moms; adopted/foster kids; guys who are pervy enough to watch a family drama just to see two women kiss. Moment of truth: Making sure that no one is excluded from their primetime universe, ABC Family has picked up this new, boldly populated drama, executive-produced by Jennifer Lopez, about a biracial lesbian couple (Teri Polo and Sherri Saum) raising a biological son, along with a house full of multicultural foster children. Aside from the obvious title and intrusive soundtrack full of emo music, this well-done show looks like it has a lot of potential. Here’s hoping all those young girls (and sad, middle-age women) who keep Pretty Little Liars on the air will give this a chance. Emmy or phlegmmy: Emmy. (C.D.L.)
HELLA FRESH THEATER PRESENTS “THE GAMBLING ROOM (PHONG GIAI TRI)” Through Sun., June 9. The Papermill Theater, 2825 Ormes St. hellafreshtheater.com Overall vibe: A clandestine operation. On the edge of Kensington’s Ormes Street, writer-director John Rosenberg embodies the elegant confidence that is his Hella Fresh Theater; dressed up handsome in a suit and tie, he playfully announces with military briskness, “House is open, assholes.” The audience laughing in the lobby is handed top-secret dossiers on United States/Vietnam relations from 1945-1967 as they enter the 60-seat theater on the ground floor of the Papermill Artist Collective. Most memorable moment: The Gambling Room may be a play about two brothers in the United States Diplomatic Corps risking their lives attempting a coup d’état on a rooftop in war-torn Vietnam in fall 1963, but today’s matinee performance was about three young actors who did not viscerally understand the material they were executing. Thus, the stakes were highest when Dan J. Tobin, as Jack Francis, balanced a broom on his chin. The simple act forced him to exist in the moment, and it reminded the audience that a live performance is by nature a balancing act. Scene stealer: Los Angeles native Rosenberg is a playwright with a ferocious amount of talent. (Sorry, L.A., he belongs to Philadelphia now.) That said, sometimes even the most gifted playwrights need to be told, “Hey, your play needs a bit more exposition.” Personally, I wish the extensive topsecret dossier, written by Rosenberg and handed out as a program, could be bumped up to the present tense and somehow incorporated into the script.

SAVAGE LOVE
WWW.LUSTINTHECITY.COM
By Dan Savage // mail@savagelove.net I love my husband of 20 years, but our sexual differences are putting a strain on our marriage. Ten years ago, he asked me to talk dirty to him about having sex with other men. It has progressed to him wanting to be a cuckold. I only want to be with him, but he presses the issue by verbalizing cuckold situations during sex. This makes me close my eyes and shut down. By the time he is done, I have no desire to orgasm because I no longer feel attractive. The only way he can get off is to talk about, think about or hear me talk about having sex with other men. It makes me feel worthless as a sex partner—which is crazy, because I am attractive and open to a great deal of things (toys, games, dressing up, striptease, etc.). I long for him to touch me, kiss me and look at me the way he used to. He is a good father and a good provider, and I love him. But this matter is crushing my self-esteem. I won’t stay much longer if this continues. Extremely Frustrated Female Experiencing Despair
fantasies don’t mean he finds you unattractive— they mean the exact opposite. I am a 28-year-old married straight male. I have a lot of confusion regarding my sexual orientation, and I am in therapy. My question is about my current self-pleasuring routine. I get high and watch “sissy self-hypnosis” videos. These videos consist of text, pictures and subliminal suggestions aimed at hypnotizing straight males into some kind of “mind control” sex slavery. Some are about cuckolding and femdom; some are about being brainwashed into sucking cock. It is all done in a really amateurish and (hopefully) ineffective way. Am I destroying my brain here? Man Wondering About Hypnosis I haven’t encountered any glassy-eyed straight guys wandering around my gay neighborhood offering to suck cock, so I’m thinking these videos are ineffective. They sound like a harmless way for an otherwise healthy, stable straight guy to fantasize about ceding his power and privilege to people the culture taught him to regard as weak and inferior, i.e., women and fags. That said, MWAH, it doesn’t sound like you’re an otherwise healthy, stable straight guy. You’re confused about your sexual orientation and gender identity, and you’re working on those issues with a shrink. That being the case, I think you might wanna avoid these videos for the time being.

Sexual infidelity is one thing—and it’s a relatively common thing—but we’re not talking about one thing here. We’re talking about a whole series of betrayals. Your husband betrayed you sexually, and he stole from you. He stole from his own children. Now, I can understand thinking with your dick (because I have a dick), and we can all imagine a circumstance in which we might succumb to temptation (because we all experience temptation). But I cannot even begin to wrap my head around how someone could spend his own children’s college fund—in addition to his family’s savings (and taking on debt!)—on gifts, trips and meals for his piece-ofshit on the side. (Not all “other women” are pieces of shit, but anyone who would allow her married lover to spend that kind of money on her in eight months is a flaming piece of shit.) DTMFA. It’s advice, H, not binding arbitration. You are free to make up your own mind. And while I couldn’t see staying if I were in your shoes, I could see myself meeting with a marriage counselor a few times before pulling the plug—for the sake of the kids.

I always told myself that I would forgive my husband if he cheated on me. Well, he had an affair for eight months. He also blew through our savings and racked up considerable credit-card debt. The college fund we started for our two children is gone. He spent all of the money on expensive gifts and vacations for his girlfriend. I am so angry, I can’t imagine staying. My husband ended the affair and wants desperately to save our marriage. As much as it pains me to subject my kids to divorce, I don’t know if I can commit to him again. Is the best option to DTMFA?

Your husband was probably reading cuckolding blogs for years before he worked up the nerve to raise the subject, EFFED, and here’s what he’s gleaned: Husband brings it up, wife shoots it down, husband whines, wife agrees to explore it as fantasy only, and then one day—after months or years of dirty talk—wife announces she wants to give it a try. She winds up loving it, she says she regrets waiting so long and husband lives happily ever after in cuckolded bliss. Reading so many cuckolding success stories—many likely fictitious—has left your husband convinced that if he just keeps at it, one day his wife will want to try it. (Some wives do try it and like it. I got a letter from a woman who’s angry that her husband—after years of dirty talk and a half-dozen cuckolding experiences—has decided that it isn’t for him after all. He doesn’t want her sleeping with other men; she doesn’t want to go back to sleeping with just him. Dr. Cuckenstein created a monster.) Tell your husband in no uncertain terms that you don’t want to hear about cuckolding anymore. Period. He is free to think about whatever he wants to during sex—we all are—but he has to keep his cuckolding fantasies to himself. Wrap up the convo by informing him that from now on, your sex sessions end the moment the subject of you sleeping with other men is raised. No more closing your eyes and waiting for him to finish. (And what kind of asshole can finish under those circumstances?) If he brings up other men, EFFED, get off the bed, get out of the bedroom, and go to the kitchen and have some ice cream. Your husband needs to find a new erotic script that works for you both. The incentive for him: Since you are open to many things—toys, games, dressing up, striptease—a fantasy scenario that turns you on is likely to become a reality scenario pretty quickly. Finally, EFFED, cuckolds don’t see their wives as unattractive. Cuckolds see their wives as so desirable—and so insatiable—that they’re incapable of giving their wives all of the sexual attention they deserve. But I can see why you’re upset. You want sex to be about the two of you, about the intimacy you share (or used to share), and your inconsiderate husband is always running his mouth about people who aren’t in the room. It’s understandable that you would feel like you’re not enough for him after 10 years of this bullshit. But your husband’s cuckolding

We’ve been advertising in the Welcome Mat (oops) that gives away how long we’ve been advertising in the Weekly for well over 15 years. We do attribute a lot of our success to advertising in the Philadelphia Weekly. One thing we know for sure - in our listing packages we always bring along our full page ad and that usually clenches the deal, we get the listing. Thank you Philadelphia Weekly.
