LETTERS I’LL DRINK TO THAT
nia is 49th in the nation in bridge safety. Will 105 House Republicans stand in the way of fixing our deteriorating infrastructure?
In response to Randy LoBasso’s blog about a bill that would privatize Pa.’s liquor industry: Modernization is what consumers want, and anyone that thinks the PLCB is not capable of modernization is wrong! This article hits the nail on the head when it talks about malice and union busting! Modernize, not privatize, is the right thing to do!

BUILDING BOLLOCKS
Regarding Randy LoBasso’s blog about the building collapse at 22nd and Market streets that killed six people and injured many more:
B. FIEDLER via phillynow.com To me, it looks as though the governor and his buddies are trying to sell off or get rid of everything in PA that is making a profit: I don’t know why anyone would sell off a gold mine like the liquor stores unless there is malice involved or it will benefit his friends some way. Don’t be surprised if Corbett just sells the liquor industry overseas without telling anyone till it’s too late! L. FERGHERR via phillynow.com The House Republicans shoved their bill through—without a single Democrat’s vote—just to help the governor’s wretched standing in the polls, as they have to run with him this election. (And it did not
help the governor at all!) The Senate, under no such constraints, is doing their due diligence, as befitting any proposal to divest the state of a multi-billion dollar public asset. Polls also show that a vast majority of Pennsylvanians place liquor at the bottom of legislative priorites. They want jobs— which is why the Senate’s transportation bill is so important. That, and Pennsylva-
Wow. So some random guy tried to alert L&I about this dangerous situation an entire month before [the] collapse, and the city does nothing. Typical. I hope the victim’s families sue the city. L&I is a joke. They do nothing but collect money and process paperwork. Fires, explosions, collapsed buildings—get the fuck out there, inspectors, and do your fucking jobs!

Want to hang out? Alie & the Brigade’s gravity-defying Invisible River is performed under the Strawberry Mansion Bridge.
WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... PERFORMANCE
Alie & the Brigades’ Invisible River Picture this: It’s a warm Sunday evening. You’re lounging in Fairmount Park surrounded by friends and/ or family, watching the sun set over the Schuylkill River. Sounds lovely, right? Now, imagine this same scenario, but with a nine-member chorus dancing around colorful sculptures while two bodies dangle from the Strawberry Mansion Bridge in the distance. That’s exactly what you can expect when the eclectic crew of artists better known as Alie & the Brigade take over the parking lot near the bridge for two unforgettable free public performances of Invisible River. Known for their thought-provoking and highly imaginative works, the Philly-based dance theater company is actually no stranger to the Schuylkill waters, having rallied up 400 people for nighttime canoe rides in the river for a past production. Featuring a carnival-esque installation from the artists of the Cultural Arts Program at the PDDC, the haunting compositions of local songwriter Elliott Harvey and a series of dance pieces choreographed by founding member Alie Vidich, Invisible River aims to change the audience’s perception of the Schuylkill. Following the show, Vidich will discuss her vision to create an annual performing arts festival advocating for public access to the river, stressing that, on most days, its waters are deemed safe for swimming by the Philadelphia Water Department. “The idea of humans swimming in bodies of water close to where they live is quite natural,” she says. “It represents how even as humans, we are not that far removed from these natural resources ... it instills a sense of freedom and calmness that you don’t feel in a closed pool.” Arrive early to enjoy onsite vending from Cosmic Café, and stick around for a dance party hosted by Maggy’s Rooftop Aerial. If you can’t make it out, keep in mind the troupe will be doing it all again on Sunday, June 23, when they’ll be joined by Little Baby’s Ice Cream—and a full moon. / NICOLE FINKBINER Sun., June 16, 8pm.

Thursday, June 13 BOOKS
Tenaya Darlington Most cheese houses worth their rinds have a book behind them, but as of just a few months ago, our own Di Bruno Bros. did not. Tenaya Darlington has put an end to that sad circumstance with Di Bruno Bros. House of Cheese: A Guide to Wedges, Recipes, and Pairings, a guidebook and memoir based upon her many tastings at the Philly landmark. Darlington began her food writing career at the Madison, Wis., Isthmus, where she worked as the alt-weekly’s food and features editor from 1999 to 2005. “That’s where I became interested in cheese because, of course, Wisconsin is this big cheese state,” she says. As the food contact, cheese makers would go directly to her with their cheeses and related features, “schooling me in the world of artisan cheese.” When she moved to Philly to work as a writing professor at St. Joseph’s University, Darlington began going into Di Bruno Bros. to fish out those curds she missed. “I would go in, have a little taste of home, meet people in line,” she says, “The cheese mongers were so excited that I would ask for these obscure Midwestern cheeses and say, ‘Well, if you like that, you might like this.’” Darlington started carrying a notebook to Di Bruno Bros. on weekends, taking notes on pairings and stories about its cheeses. She soon began transcribing those anecdotes on her popular blog, Madame Fromage, which she says started partly, well, as a joke. That joke has turned her into one of the city’s leading cheese connoisseurs in the Delaware Valley. / RANDY LOBASSO

Skate Shop/676 Skate Reception
FILM
As the Philadelphia School District continues to face a gaping deficit, art education in our public schools could very well soon become obsolete. Thankfully, this city happens to be home to nonprofit art organizations like the Asian Arts Initiative, which is dedicated to providing a creative outlet to local youngsters— opportunities far beyond the usual popsiclestick houses and macaroni art—through its Youth Arts Workshop (YAW), an arts program for kids in middle and high school. Back in April, the program invited a group of middle school students at Southwark School to design their own skateboards, stickers and T-shirts under the guidance of Seattle-based multi-disciplinary artist and designer Nin Truong, as well as AAI staff members and local teaching artist Nicole Schaller. During field trips and 2-D and 3-D building workshops, the students explored creative economies through art and design, printmaking and skate culture, using their acquired skills and knowledge to ultimately assemble a pop-up “mock skate shop.” Currently filling the storefront window of the YAW space, these kid’s skateboards and apparel are not only an obvious must-see for members of Philly’s skate scene, but for anyone under the impression that art education is expendable. Be sure to keep an eye and ear out for the other exceptional exhibitions and events AAI has in store as it celebrates its 20th anniversary, including the Chinatown North/Callowhill neighborhood festival in September. / N.F. 6pm. Free. Through Sept. 27. Asian Arts Initiative, 1219 Vine St. 215.557.0455. asianartsinitiative.org

Black Flag When bassist Dave Klein left Screeching Weasel in late March, the reaction of controversial frontman Ben Weasel—who recently got his punk outfit back together after an incident at SXSW 2011, in which he punched two women while on stage—could best be described as punk empathy. “Normally, when one departs the rolling hills and verdant meadows of Weasel Acres, whether voluntarily or with my assistance, the pastures on the other side are distinctly brown, but in this case, our man hit the jackpot,” Weasel wrote on the band’s Facebook page. “To wit: Black Flag came calling, and he answered the bell. And who can blame him? When Black Flag says they want to hire you, you suit up, give notice to the circus, and report for duty. You think I wouldn’t ditch this sideshow and start stocking up on black satin shorts and hitting the Nautilus if I got the call? Think again, chum.” It’s true: Black Flag is back on the block with a Henry Rollins-less lineup put together by founding member Greg Ginn, who’s taking the singing role quite seriously as the foursome gear up for a summer tour, with tonight’s Union Transfer gig as one of its highlights. Disclaimer: Another band, calling themselves Flag, has also re-formed, featuring former Black Flag and Circle Jerks member Keith Morris (who led the group from 1976 to ‘79, before any studio albums) on vocals. They will also be touring, performing Black Flag songs. This ain’t them, weasel. / R.L. 8pm. $25. With Good For You + True Love. Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St. utphilly.com

Rahsaan Patterson Rashaan Patterson’s a longtime underdog. The Kids Incorporated alum stands alongside Fergie, Shanice and Mario Lopez as a child actor of the ‘80s still tryna get a nut. Nearing 40, Patterson’s put out five LPs, all to lackluster sales. But that doesn’t really matter: He’s got to perform, and his voice is outstanding. A beautiful midpoint between Stevie Wonder and Raphael Saadiq, Patterson’s pipes are dipped in soul. Watching him perform “6AM” with Lalah Hathaway is like watching an acrobat contort. He and Hathaway spend the last couple minutes of the song batting one line back and forth, with dips and jumps in tone and pitch. Dude’s got real chops. Typically accompanied by a badass band to flesh out his soulful funk, Patterson practices in the genre of Erykah Badu and D’Angelo, the openly gay songwriter steeped in improvisation, free form and off-the-cuff performances. He’s written songs for Brandy (co-writing her second big hit, 1994’s “Baby”) and Tevin Campbell and calls Ledisi a friend. Tonight’s show is sure to be a dynamic one; Patterson’s voice is kind of like Toni Braxton’s: capable of being soft and gentle, but also resonant enough to convey pain and sadness. One second, he bellows from his depths of his gut, and in the next, he emotes from the top of his beautiful bald head. No doubt, his vocal flips and tricks will be a spectacle tonight. / BILL CHENEVERT 8pm. $32-$36. World Cafe Live at the Queen, 500 N. Market St., Wilmington, DE. 302.994.1400. queen.worldcafelive.com

“That’s My Jam” Karaoke
cheers some good beers!
C’mon, everybody knows liquor and karaoke go together like peanut butter and jelly. Add happy hour and some game friends, and you’ve got a guaranteed good time. Sometimes a little liquid encouragement is all one needs to pick out a song, fill out that little paper slip, and step up to the mic, and luckily, the Painted Bride is the perfect place to flex those pipes at “That’s My Jam,” hosted by Sing Your Life Karaoke’s Sara Sherr. The stage in the Bride’s 250-seat theater will be yours for the owning tonight, and the audience is expected to be as friendly as it gets—you now, those game friends of yours, aside other fun-loving Philadelphians. Here’s hoping some legit talent turns out to earn bragging rights ’cause when you’ve got a stage like this, and you’re not mumbling along to the color-changing lines on a little dive-bar monitor, you better turn it out. Ten bucks gets you in, plus a drink ticket, and there’ll be hot dogs from the Dapper Dog food truck on tap, too. Sherr’s 120,000-deep song catalogue should have a few of your favorites to slay live, and if your preferred track isn’t among them, have another drink, and I bet you’ll find something. Word to the wise: Start rehearsing now. No one—and I mean no one—wants to hear you butcher “Midnight Train to Georgia.” / B.C.

Fathers of Necessity
Kathryn Edin and Timothy J. Nelson spent seven years in Philadelphia and Camden, asking low-income, unwed fathers to share their stories. In their new book, Doing the Best I Can, they suggest that the stereotype of the deadbeat dad misses something important: Of the many challenges poor urban dads face, a lack of caring usually isn’t one of them.
K
athryn Edin and Timothy J. Nelson are a scholarly married couple who both study the social sciences; they began collaborating to interview low-income urban parents in the mid-’90s. PW spoke with Nelson this week about their new book, from which we also present an exclusive excerpt (next page.) How did the project start in the first place? We started the early research in 1995 while Kathryn was teaching at Rutgers. We moved to Camden in 1997, when my two daughters were preschool age, and then to Philly a couple years later, where we taught at Penn.
The bulk of the interviews were conducted between 1999 and 2002; Kathryn was doing interviews in these same neighborhoods with low-income single moms. and brought me on to interview dads. First she wrote a book about the moms, called Promises I Can Keep, and now this is the companion piece to that. I’d spent time in low-income neighborhoods for previous work; it started off as something of an academic interest, but it grew to be more of a passion on a personal level. Being a father myself, and then talking to these guys facing all sorts of challenges I’d never had to face while parenting—there was a common bond there.
G
ts in this selected excerpt from Doing the Best I Can.
It’s taken you quite a few years to write and publish Doing the Best I Can, then. One of the reasons it took us so long to publish is that it’s a complex story, and we wanted to get it right. One could paint these guys as villains—I think that’s the common perception out there. Certainly they’re no angels—substance abuse, incarceration, they’re “ripping and running” in their younger years. Or one could paint them as victims: They’ve grown up in dangerous neighborhoods, in bad schools, in rough families. A lot of these guys grew up in the ‘70s and ‘80s in

Fifteen year-old Andre and his older brother, as well as his two younger half-sisters, mother, and stepfather, were all living with his Aunt Charlene, the seven-member extended family jam-packed into one of the 14-foot-wide, shotgun-style row homes that populate much of Camden. In 1970 the family had followed the path of so many other African American families in the migration up the coast from their home in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Ever since, Andre’s mother and her sisters have often offered one another shelter during hard times. In fact, Andre cannot remember a time when he hasn’t shared quarters with some combination of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. “What?” he replied cautiously, noting the disapproving tone in Charlene’s voice. “You know your old girlfriend?” Andre pictured Sonya in his mind and recalled their on-again-off-again relationship with mixed emotions, impatient now with the way his aunt was drawing out the drama. “Yeah, what about her?” As if unable to hold back the news a second longer, Charlene blurted out just two words: “She pregnant!” This was indeed a surprise—a shock really, not only to Andre but soon to everyone who heard the news. Andre was the exception to the other kids in the neighborhood—a serious, church-going boy who made the grades in school, stayed off the streets, and carried himself “like a young man,” he tells us later while recreating the scene. “I was always a gentleman type. I was never a gangster type with my pants hanging down and all that.” As the information about Sonya registered, Andre gathered as much shock, disappointment and anger into his voice as he could muster and shouted, “Oh, man!” before stomping off to his room and slamming the door for added effect. But, as he tells us with a sly chuckle, it was all a performance for his aunt’s benefit. “I was just doing that as a front around her. When I went to my room I was like, ‘Yes! Thank you, Jesus!’ Boy, I was jumping around, couldn’t tell me nothing! I was happy!” He grins, recalling the moment. “When my aunt and them came around me I be sitting there like, ‘Ah, man, what I’m a do?’ But meanwhile, on the inside I was happy.” What prompted such enthusiasm in a boy just starting high school? Andre says simply, “Because that was me. I always wanted my own child. People didn’t understand me. They like, ‘How you gonna take care of this baby? This baby is going to be born in poverty’ and all this stuff. That’s what they was saying.” But Andre shrugged off these negative assessments. “To them it was a mistake, you know. My daughter wasn’t no mistake to me!” He adds, pointing proudly to the sleeping child, Jalissa, “My daughter, she is the bomb!” Andre makes clear he is no “hit and run” father for whom children are mere trophies of sexual prowess. “I want to be a real father to my kids. I want to not only make a baby but I want to take care of my baby. I want to be there.” He is dedicated to ensuring that Jalissa will grow up “with stuff that I didn’t have,” especially “love from her father. I didn’t have that. She’s got a father that’s there for her, that she knows, that she loves, that she calls ‘da da.’ Oh, she knows her da da!” Andre is determined not to be like his own father and uncles who are, in his words, “dogs”: “They will create their kids—and they got kids all over the place— but they never really took care of them or spent time with them.” Andre points to several boys around his own age that he’s run into by chance—half-brothers he didn’t know existed. He spied the first boy while walking through the neighbor-
Kensington—heroin and crack decimated their parents, so they were dealing with a lot. One of the challenges of writing this book was painting a full portrait that captured both of these aspects: trying to understand, trying to see the cohesiveness behind this and communicate it in a compelling way. Did you become friendly with your interviewees? Did they have concerns about how you’d be portraying them? A lot of our conversations happened at Mc-
Donalds—public or semipublic settings like that. We’d sit down for an hour and a half at a time; I was blown away by how quickly they’d be eager to share intimate details from their lives—their relationships, sex lives, history of drug use and so forth—because someone wanted to take their experiences seriously. For privacy reasons, we had to use pseudonyms for all of them; between that and so many lives being unstable, it’s been difficult to keep up with them afterwards. It’s a shame; I wish I could see how some of their stories played out. >>>

hood on the way to visit his cousin. Noting the striking resemblance to himself, Andre asked who his father was. The name the boy offered was the same as Andre’s own father’s. Months later, a fight in the schoolyard that pitted Andre and his younger brother against two other boys landed all four in the principal’s office. The school called in Andre’s paternal grandmother—the only adult on the emergency contact list who answered the phone—as part of the disciplinary process, which led to the following scene: “She came to the door and the other boys was like, ‘Grandma!’ And we was like, ‘Grandma?’ And she was like, ‘Y’all are brothers.’ We was like, ‘Brothers?’” After these experiences, Andre started to wonder, “Dag, how many kids do my dad got?” Contemptuous of his father’s behavior, Andre vowed to do right by his kids when he became a father. “I started saying, ‘If I ever have a child, I refuse to let my child go without a father. I want to be there for my child, for her to know that she or he has a father that she can come to, and I’ll be there when she needs me.’ It’s just like I was inspired by my dad treating me wrong to take care of my kid.” Across the political spectrum, from conservatives like former U.S. education secretary William Bennett to President Barack Obama, unwed fatherhood is denounced as one of the leading social problems of our day. These men are irresponsible, so the story goes. They hit and then run—run away, selfishly flee, act like boys rather than men. According to these portrayals, such men are interested in sex, not fatherhood. When their female conquests come up pregnant, they quickly flee the scene, leaving the expectant mother holding the diaper bag. Unwed fathers, you see, simply don’t care. About a decade before we began our exploration of the topic, the archetype of this “hit and run” unwed father made a dramatic media debut straight from the devastated streets of Newark, N.J., in a 1986 CBS special report, The Vanishing Family: Crisis in Black America. The program’s host, Great Society liberal Bill Moyers, promised viewers a vivid glimpse into the lives of the real people behind the evermounting statistics chronicling family breakdown. But by far the most sensational aspect of the documentary—the segment referenced by almost every review, editorial, and com-
mentary following the broadcast—was the footage of Timothy McSeed. As the camera zooms in on McSeed and Moyers on a Newark street corner, the voiceover reveals that McSeed has fathered six children by four different women. “I got strong sperm,” he says, grinning into the camera. When Moyers asks why he doesn’t use condoms, he scoffs, “Girls don’t like them things.” Yet Timothy says he doesn’t worry about any pregnancies that might result. “If a girl, you know, she’s having a baby, carryin’ a baby, that’s on her, you know? I’m not going to stop my pleasures.”
recited his accomplishments with a grin you wanted to smash a fist into.” William Raspberry’s brother-in-law wrote the noted columnist that the day after viewing the program, he drove past a young black couple and found himself reacting with violent emotion. “I was looking at a problem, a threat, a catastrophe, a disease. Suspicion, disgust and contempt welled up within me.” But it was George Will who reached the heights of outraged rhetoric in his syndicated column, declaring that “the Timothies are more of a menace to black progress than the Bull Connors ever were.”
“I want to be there for my child, for her to know that she has a father that she can come to, and I’ll be there when she needs me. It’s like I was inspired by my dad treating me wrong to take care of my kid.” Moyers then takes us back several weeks to the moment when Alice Johnson delivers Timothy’s sixth child. McSeed dances around the delivery room with glee, fists raised in the air like a victorious prizefighter. “I’m the king!” he shouts repeatedly. Later, Timothy blithely admits to Moyers that he doesn’t support any of his children. When pressed on this point, he shrugs, grins, and offers up the show’s most quoted line: “Well, the majority of the mothers are on welfare, [so] what I’m not doing the government does.” The impact of The Vanishing Family was immediate and powerful, creating an almost instantaneous buzz in the editorial columns of leading newspapers. In the week after the broadcast, CBS News received hundreds of requests for tapes of the show, including three from U.S. senators. The California public schools created a logjam when they tried to order a copy for each of the 7,500 schools in their system. “It is the largest demand for a CBS News product we’ve ever had,” marveled senior vice president David Fuchs. The response to Timothy McSeed was particularly intense and visceral. An editorialist in the Washington Post could barely contain his outrage, writing, “One man Moyers talked to had six children by four different women. He
I have to ask: When you publish a book presenting inner-city life as studied by two Ivy League professors, how do you account for the outsider factor? Some people might roll their eyes at the ivory tower’s coming to town to discern wisdom, so to speak. That’s a great question. It was very important to us to experience first-hand what it’s like to live immersed in a neighborhood like this—I know that’s not the same as growing up there with few options and not being able to leave, but still. I remember, when we first moved to
The Vanishing Family went on to win every major award in journalism. Those commenting publicly on the broadcast were nearly unanimous in their ready acceptance of Timothy as the archetype of unmarried fatherhood. Congressional action soon followed: In May 1986 Senator Bill Bradley proposed the famous Bradley Amendment, the first of several of “deadbeat dad” laws aimed at tightening the screws on unwed fathers who fell behind on their child support, even if nonpayment was due to unemployment or incarceration. Only a lone correspondent from Canada’s Globe and Mail offered a rebuttal, fuming that Timothy “could have been cast by the Ku Klux Klan: you couldn’t find a black American more perfectly calculated to arouse loathing, contempt and fear.” Bill Moyers’s interest in the black family was not new. In 1965, two decades before The Vanishing Family was first broadcast, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then assistant secretary of labor for President Lyndon Johnson, penned the now-infamous report, titled The Negro Family: The Case for National Action. Moynihan claimed that due to the sharp increase in out-of-wedlock childbearing—a condition affecting only a small fraction of white children but one in five African Americans at the
East Camden, going to a convenience store looking for the newspaper, and they told me they didn’t carry it because too many people were afraid even to drive into the neighborhood; that realization was the sort of thing you don’t get just from interviewing people. You’ll always miss something as an outsider, but we really did the best we could. Is there any one thing you hope readers will take away from the book? When you’re walking around Philly and
time—the black family, particularly in America’s inner cities, was nearing what he called “complete breakdown.” Moynihan was labeled a racist for his views, and Moyers, then an assistant press secretary to the president, helped manage the controversy. Now, a half century after the Moynihan report was written, and two-and-a-half decades since Moyer’s award-winning broadcast, nearly three in ten American children live apart from their fathers. Divorce played a significant role in boosting these rates in the 1960s and 1970s, but by the mid-1980s, when Timothy McSeed shocked the nation, the change was being driven solely by increases in unwed parenthood. About four in every ten (41 percent) American children in 2008 were born outside of marriage, and, like Timothy’s six children, they are disproportionately minority and poor. A higher portion of white fathers have kids outside of marriage (29 percent) than black fathers did in Moynihan’s time, but rates among blacks and Hispanics have also grown dramatically—to 56 and 73 percent respectively. And the gap between unskilled Americans and the educated elite is especially wide. Here, the statistics are stunning: only about 6 percent of college-educated mothers’ births are nonmarital versus 60 percent of those of high school dropouts. In the wake of this dramatic increase in socalled fatherless families, public outrage has grown and policy makers have responded. In the 1960s and 1970s liberals worked to help supplement the incomes of single mothers, who were disproportionately poor, while conservatives balked, believing this would only reward those who put motherhood before marriage and would thus lead to more such families. Meanwhile, surly taxpayers increasingly demanded answers as to why their hard-earned dollars were going to support what many saw as an immoral lifestyle choice and not an unavoidable hardship. This taxpayer sentiment fueled Ronald Reagan’s efforts to sharply curtail welfare benefits in the 1980s and prompted Bill Clinton’s promise to “end welfare as we know it,” which he fulfilled in 1996. Scholars have responded to the trend by devoting a huge amount of attention to studying single-parent families, detailing the struggles of the parents and documenting the deleterious effects on the children. These studies have offered the American public a wealth of knowledge about the lives of the
you see young men, any men, especially around Father’s Day—well, they’re probably fathers. Instead of reacting as, these guys must be deadbeat dads, take a second look and realize: they’re caring fathers who are trying to do the best they can for their kids. I hope these stories will give some insight into the humanity of the people we encounter as we go about our daily routines. We have more in common than we realize—especially as parents. That common bond of fatherhood could go a long way toward making a better city. / S.H.S.

mothers and their progeny, yet they have told us next to nothing about the fathers of these children. The conventional wisdom spun by pundits and public intellectuals across the political spectrum blames the significant difficulties that so many children born to unwed parents face—poor performance in school, teen pregnancy and low school-completion rates, criminal behavior, and difficulty securing a steady job—on their fathers’ failure to care. The question that first prompted our multiyear exploration into the lives of inner-city, unmarried fathers is whether this is, in fact, the case. In Doing the Best I Can: Fatherhood in the Inner City, we go beyond the stereotyped portrayals of men like Timothy McSeed and delve deep into the lives of 110 white and black inner-city fathers. Each of the fathers whose stories we tell hail from the urban core—in our case, Philadelphia and Camden. Like McSeed’s Newark, these cities have some of the highest rates of nonmarital childbearing in the country. Roughly six in ten children in Philadelphia and an even greater percentage in Camden—nearly three out of four—are now born outside of marriage. Over the seven years we spent on street corners and front stoops, in front rooms and kitchens, at fast food restaurants, rec centers, and bars in each of these neighborhood, we persuaded 110 low-income unwed fathers to share their stories with us, sometimes over the course of several months, or even years. Our conversations with each father, usually stretching across several meetings, were wide-ranging and in-depth. We asked fathers to begin by describing their own childhoods and families of origin, and what it was like for them growing up. We tracked their paths through adolescence and early adulthood; their experiences with peers, school, and work; and the beginning and end of each romantic relationship. They described the circumstances surrounding the births of each of their children and the often shifting patterns of involvement in their children’s lives. We asked how they had come to make the choices they had, what they wished had gone differently, and what they planned for the future. The question that originally prompted our study—is it true that these fathers simply don’t care about the children they conceive?—led to a deeper and more complex focus of inquiry: what does fatherhood mean in the lives of low-income, inner-city men? When we began to study the lives of innercity fathers, we were eager to learn how they reacted to the news of a pregnancy. Did they “hit” and then “run” like the stereotype exemplified by Timothy McSeed, or did they grit their teeth and determine to face up to their impending responsibilities? Both of our guesses proved wrong; most greeted the news with happiness, and some, like
Andre, even with downright delight. But the “happy” reaction, and the complex realities that prompt it, is molded by men’s oftentroubled childhoods and the challenging neighborhood environments in which they came of age. If one listens carefully enough, the happy reaction speaks volumes about these men’s highest hopes and deepest desires, and how these will animate men’s subsequent efforts. Andre was one of the first young men we spoke with. We were stunned by his story; we had to ask ourselves whether this guy was for real. Although Andre had not set out to become a father—his liaison with Sonya was a brief and mostly unhappy one—when he hears the news of her pregnancy he is overjoyed. His mother and aunt are not so thrilled. After all, Andre is still in high school, has no job, lives in a neighborhood full of violence
woman in question kept changing her story about who the father was. For one pregnancy in five, men say they responded by “accepting” the news, a generally positive reaction but one tempered with a sobering realization of their new responsibilities. Unadulterated happiness—even joy—was by far the most common reaction, though; more than half of all pregnancies were welcomed in this way without reservation. Byron, age 46, is clear about his response to the news: “Shoot! I was happy, man!” Thirtynine-year-old Amin says that during a brief interlude in his late teens when he was not incarcerated, he fathered a son with a woman he was not even together with at the time. Nonetheless, he tells us, he reacted with considerable enthusiasm to the news that this mere acquaintance was pregnant with his child. “Even though I was not in love, I want-
“Without kids, I’d probably be in jail. My little brother is in jail, and I figure whatever he was doing, I’m sure I would have been doing it with him.” and crime, and has long since broken up with the girl who is about to become the mother of his child. Most Americans would probably agree with Andre’s elders that raising a baby under these circumstances is a profound mistake. Yet young men like Andre have their own reasons for welcoming these children into the world. Men’s responses ran the gamut, from vehement and panicked denials of paternity to loud shouts of joy, when they first heard about a pregnancy. Only a handful outright rejected the news. A pervasive sexual mistrust—the conviction that women couldn’t be trusted to be faithful—featured large among men who responded this way. Another handful said they were either shaken or scared or didn’t quite know what to think. Craig, a black 28-year-old day laborer, was just 15, like Andre, and had recently been kicked out of the tenth grade when he learned his girlfriend was pregnant. We ask if he had felt ready to become a father. “No, no, I am not going to sit here and lie to you. No, I was not ready at all … When can you actually say that you are ready to have a child at a young age?” Lee, a black 42-year-old, part-time construction worker, was already 24 when his girlfriend conceived. Thinking back, he says his first reaction was, “Run!” explaining, “I didn’t have no job!” Several others say they were unsure how to respond because the
ed a son.” Many fathers were surprised that we would even ask them this question. “I was glad! It was no major obstacle!” says 33-yearold Steven, a black father of three who works as a casual laborer for a city contractor, describing his reaction to the news that he was going to become a father at age 20, as if the answer to our question was so apparent that it could be assumed. In story after story, happy reactions abound. Thirty-six-year-old Omar, perhaps the most troubled, violent, and criminally involved man we spoke with—a hustler who had even pimped out the mother of his three children—was also puzzled by our query. He exclaimed, “I was happy! All the other girls killed my babies. They had abortions. I said, ‘She’s my first—I’m gonna give her everything.’ ” Joe, a white 45-year-old father of four who drives a horse and carriage for tourists, says simply of his reaction to the news that his first child was on the way, “I wanted a son, and I had a son!” Forty-six-year-old Roger (who manages a thrift store), 26-year-old Little E. (who works at a butcher shop in the Italian Market), and Ozzy, 35, who does odd jobs and collects SSI (or “disability”) for mental-health problems—all white men—each claim a strong underlying desire to have a child that was galvanized by the news: “I always wanted one!” Roger tells us, to explain his ecstatic reaction. Calvin, who combines maintenance work with occasional jobs with
a moving company, was twenty-five when his first child was conceived. He recalls a similar response: “I loved it. I love kids!” This white 45-year-old now has five children. Taken together, the happy and accepting reactions to a pregnancy comprise over three-quarters of all the responses we received. Though one might suppose that the degree to which the pregnancies were planned or actively avoided would heavily influence men’s reactions to the news of a conception, the correlation is far from perfect. While those with planned and semiplanned pregnancies almost universally welcome the news, those who are “just not thinking” when conception occurs still respond positively—with either happiness or acceptance—more than six times out of ten. Even more amazing, about a third of those who had been explicitly opposed to having children and were taking measures to prevent conception were either happy or accepting when the pregnancy was announced. What are we to make of the surprisingly positive nature of men’s responses? Perhaps the men who most eagerly embrace the news of a pregnancy are simply those who are in the best life circumstances. To see if this is so, we turn to the stories of Ozzie and Terrell, who, like Andre, were especially enthusiastic. Ozzy, who collects SSI and does odd jobs, is a 35-year-old white father of one. He was 27 when he met Dawn one night on South Street; Ozzy was out with a group of his friends and Dawn was with her friends, and after the collective laughing, teasing, and flirting was over, the two ended up exchanging phone numbers. Four months later Dawn was pregnant. There were bigger problems though, aside from the fact that they had known each other such a short time. The first was that Ozzy was an unemployed high school dropout who still lived at home and had developed a problem with a variety of substances, including alcohol, Xanax, Valium, cocaine, and marijuana. The second was that Dawn was only 16 years old. “I lied to her about my age,” Ozzy admits. “I told her that I was like 20. Then after a couple of months I started to like her a lot so I told her the truth.” Despite his problems, Ozzy was thrilled—without reservation— by the news of Dawn’s pregnancy. “I always wanted to have a kid,” he told us. “But before I met Dawn I never really found the right person to have one with.” Terrell, a black 19-year-old supermarket stock clerk, was just 17 when he heard the news about the conception of his oldest child. But this came as no surprise to him, as he had lobbied hard for his girlfriend to have a baby. He had just begun his sophomore year at West Philadelphia High School when he met Clarice, a friend of his cousin’s. “I come home from school one day, and I saw her sitting on the porch. Ever since that day I’ve been liking her. I had it in my mind that I’d get her.” Terrell was surprisingly sure of himself, see-

ing as how 17-year-old Clarice was pregnant with another man’s child at the time. Meanwhile, he was doing poorly in school and cutting classes regularly. After he violated a contract that required attending a certain number of days per month, the school finally kicked him out. It was when Terrell was “sitting at home with nothing to do” that he began to “get with” Clarice, who had just broken up with her newborn’s father. The first thing he did was to try and convince her to get pregnant by him right away, despite the fact that he had just left high school and had no job or any prospects of one. “I wanted a son so bad. I saw all these guys with kids, especially with boys,” Terrell explains. “I always wanted a son, especially when they start walking.” Clarice was understandably reluctant, but Terrell was persistent. “She came around to it, came to her senses,” he says with satisfaction. “We sat down and had a long talk about it. Two months later she was pregnant.” Ecstatic that he was about to become a father, Terrell immediately signed up for Job Corps after hearing the news. After spending several months in Pittsburgh acquiring some of the skills of the construction trade—drywall and plaster work—Terrell quit and returned to Philadelphia to witness the birth of his son. Several months later, just as he was adjusting to being the father of a newborn, Clarice had some additional news for him: she was pregnant again, this time with twins. What the stories of Ozzy and Terrell reveal is that men’s willingness to embrace, or occasionally even pursue, pregnancy does not always, or even usually, hinge on their life circumstances. In fact, it is often men in some of the worst and most desperate situations who are also the happiest when learning of a pregnancy. Why would this be so? How would the prospect of bringing a child into the world under these circumstances be an appealing one? The answer lies in the way men answered one important question: “What would your life be like without your children?” One might expect that men would complain about lives derailed, schooling foregone, and job opportunities forsaken. Yet we heard very few tales about sacrificed opportunities or complaints about child support and the like. Overall, children are seen not as millstones but as life preservers, saviors, redeemers, and the strength of the sentiment behind these fathers’ words makes them all the more remarkable. Kervan, a black 21-year old who had been working construction but has just finished bartending school, says that without his kid, “I’d probably be in jail.” Quick, who is black, 24, and a student at the Community College of Philadelphia, says, “I’d be dead, because of the simple fact that it wasn’t until Brianna was born that I actually started to chill out.” Apple, a black 27-yearold who washes dishes six days a week
at a hoagie shop on South Street, says, “I guess after I got caught up in the bad life, as far as jail, the kids helped me keep my head up, look forward. I got something to live for. Kids give you something to live for.” Lee, who was just laid off from an optical lab and is currently working odd jobs to get by, is an African-American 42-year-old father. He says, “Without the kids, I’d probably be a dog. I hope not with AIDS.” Thirtyseven-year-old Seven, an on-and-off house painter, tells us, “I couldn’t imagine being without them because when I am spending time with my kids it is like, now that is love. That is unconditional love. It is like a drug that you got to have.” For these men the imagined alternative to becoming a dad is not a college degree or a job as a CPA, it is incarceration, death, rehab, “the bad life,” “a dog with AIDS.” Kids, on the other hand, are something to live for, to fight for, “a drug that you got to have.” Self is a 21-year-old African American who is certified as a home health aide but can only get part-time work at a nightclub. He recalls, “What influenced me to have children was that I felt alone. It’s a good feeling to always know that I have somebody to relate to. Somebody that’s going to look up to me, to learn from me and things like that.” White metal finisher and part-time construction worker Alex, 22, says that without his children, “I would be out getting high because I would not have anything. I would have my girlfriend but my baby is the most important thing in my life right now.” Will is white, 24 and works part-time as a mechanic, and teaches boxing on the side at the Joe Frazier gym. He says, “I think I’d probably be in jail. My little brother is in jail, and I figure without kids, whatever he was doing I’m sure I would have been doing it with him.” A white building superintendent and jack-of-all-trades, Bill, 38, says, “I’d still be out there. I’d still be fucking off, drugs and all. I think about my kids and there’s just this hope I have now of getting a good relationship with them.” We ask Lacey, a black 42-year-old who works as a cook in a restaurant in North Philadelphia, “How did you see your future before you became a father?” “I didn’t have no future,” he replies. “I didn’t care. I lived for the moment.” We ask, “Did you think you would live to see 42?” “No. Nobody did,” he admits, and then adds, “Nobody expected me to be there to see 17.” Lacey now lives with his fiancée and daughter and the nineyear-old child whom he gained custody of a year ago. He gets up at 5 a.m. to ensure he’s on time for his 7 a.m. shift, works 40 hours a week, never touches anything stronger than beer, and spends most of his leisure time with family—visiting with his 18-yearold daughter and her kids, offering advice to his 17-year-old son, or spending time with his fiancée and the two little girls who live in his household. “I spend as much time as I can with my family,” he says with satisfaction.
His life wasn’t always this way, though. The two oldest children— only nine months apart—were conceived on the heels of his release from prison at 23, after his murder conviction was overturned on a technicality. Both women lived on his mother’s block, and “it was back and forth. I’d mess with her for a minute. I’d go mess with the other one for a minute. Once one got my nerves, I went with the other.” In both cases, Lacey says, he was “just not thinking” when conception occurred. By 24 he was incarcerated again for robbery. He began seeing the mother of his nine-year-old while in prison, where, somehow, she got pregnant; Lacey wasn’t released until the child was five. Lacey treasures all his kids, but especially the youngest, because she offers him the opportunity to watch one of his children grow up. When asked what his life would be like if he didn’t have children, he says, “I can’t imagine that one. I really can’t. I can’t imagine it. ’Cause my life without them, it would be empty. It would be empty. That’s what kept me going in prison, knowing that I had to come out and be there for them.” For young men who haven’t yet had a chance to make many mistakes, a child—so pure and innocent—is a symbol, almost a magic wand that has the power to vanquish the oppressive sense of negativity that quite literally surrounds those who come of age amid frequent violence in the innerurban core… The neighborhood context throws the decision of how to respond into sharp relief: Against these often lurid backdrops, embracing new life offers young men a chance to participate in something viewed as utterly good. Those who have lost their way in these environments may especially welcome the chance to turn their lives around. They may look at their past and regret “rippin’ and runnin’” with the wrong crowd, dropping out of school, getting caught up in dealing or using “substances,” or having sexual liaisons on the side. Some can clearly see how they failed their other children. But with each new pregnancy, there is a possible child who exists only as pure potential, and this is where men’s optimism shines. Being a father to this baby is a saintly calling in an evil and chaotic world, and a relationship he hasn’t screwed up yet. Who wouldn’t be excited by such an opportunity? How does this turn out in the long run? Unfortunately, not so well for most of these fathers. The story we tell in Doing the Best I Can is much like a Greek tragedy in which the fatal flaws that bring about the hero’s demise—both as a partner and father—are evident from the beginning. n Doing the Best I Can: Fatherhood in the Inner City, by Kathryn Edin and Timothy J. Nelson (University of California Press), is available now in both hardcover and ebook. The authors are scheduled to appear on WHYY’s Radio Times this Friday.

Could Pennsylvania Begin to Routinely Collect DNA? The U.S. Supreme Court just said it’s constitutional—and there’s a state senator in Harrisburg who’s eager. By Tara Murtha // tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com
T
he Supreme Court of the United States determined last week in a divisive 5–4 ruling that it is perfectly constitutional for police to routinely collect DNA samples from some arrestees—even if they’ve never been convicted, and possibly even if they’re never formally charged with a crime. The court’s sharply polarized opinion reveals that justices passionately disagree whether routine collection of citizens’ DNA represents a mere technological upgrade to the commonplace practice of fingerprinting, or an insidious invasion of privacy that violates the Fourth Amendment guarding against unreasonable search and seizure. “Taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestee DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the court’s five-justice majority. Justice Antonin Scalia dissented. “Make no mistake about it: Because of today’s decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason,” Scalia wrote. “This will solve some extra crimes, to be sure. But so would taking your DNA when you fly on an airplane—surely the TSA must know the `identity’ of the flying public. For that matter, so would taking your children’s DNA when they start public school.” Scalia’s opinion was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Ellen Kagan. The landmark ruling emerged from a Maryland case: In 2009, police collected the DNA of a man named Alonzo King Jr. after arresting him on suspicion of assault, then discovered that his DNA matched an unsolved 2003 rape case. But last April, the state’s highest court
ruled that the collection of King’s DNA was unconstitutional, and the rape conviction was overturned. This week’s Supreme Court ruling reverses that judgment. To be clear, 28 states and the federal government already swab arrestees for DNA prior to conviction, though those jurisdictions all vary as to what level of criminal charge warrants the sampling, as well as to the protocol that determines what point in arrest DNA is seized. Currently, Pennsylvania does not allow pre-conviction DNA collection unless the arrestee signs a waiver granting permission. But that could now change quickly, as supporters of routine swabbing see the Supreme Court ruling as a green light. State Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-Chester/Delaware counties) immediately issued a statement that his bill, SB 150, a version of the DNA seizure legislation he previously introduced last session, will be scheduled for a vote in the Senate in the near future: “In light of today’s decision, Pennsylvania should move quickly to enact Senate Bill 150.” Pileggi’s initial co-sponsorship memo frames SB 150 as a bill that intends to enable Pennsylvania “to keep pace with technological advances—and to ensure that DNA evidence and samples are collected, analyzed and used appropriately and with respect for individual privacy concerns.”

Penn State professor David H. Kaye, an expert in forensic DNA evidence and statistics, about the probability of the bill’s passage, tells PW that the Supreme Court ruling would remove most questions about the constitutionality of the Pennsylvania bill. “It does create a green light, as far as the Constitution goes, for some sort of collection of DNA before conviction as a routine matter,” he says, “at least for serious crimes.” However, Kaye notes that the decision didn’t draw a line as to what constitutes a serious crime. The concern, as expressed by Scalia, is that without that sort of clear standard, DNA seizure can be rationalized for any offense—to permit civilians to fly in the wake of a bombing, for example. Given the obvious threat of civil liberties, it’s no surprise that the ACLU disagrees with the SCOTUS ruling and Pileggi’s bill. “The Supreme Court screwed this one up,” says Andy Hoover, legislative director of the ACLU of Pennsylvania. He doesn’t think SB 150 will necessarily enjoy smooth sailing just because the court cleared the constitutionality of the practice; the bill has “a number of hurdles” ahead, he suggests, before it can pass in Pennsylvania. He points out that courts have consistently ruled that the Pennsylvania state constitution“provides far greater privacy
protection in search and seizure than the federal Constitution does.” There’s also a practical concern. Under current law—and budget—the Pennsylvania state police process approximately 2,400 samples a year, according to a spokesperson. As of this week, they have a backlog of 957 samples. Obviously, without additional funds, enabling routine seizure of DNA at arrest would dramatically increase that backlog. So not only would SB 150, if enacted without a significant budget bump, actually slow down the process of solving violent crimes in Pennsylvania, the lack of immediacy in clearing the current backlog suggests that DNA isn’t exactly being valued as a run-of-the-mill crime-solving tool. As Hoover puts it: “No one can argue that we need this so urgently to protect public safety that we’ll wait eight months to get a sample tested.” Here in Philly, we became aware of both the controversial practice of stopping and swabbing and the DNA backlog back in 2011, when the city was terrorized by a serial killer dubbed the Kensington Strangler. After stopping and swabbing scores of young men who resembled a police sketch, police eventually arrested and convicted Antonio Rodriguez based on a DNA match. It then came to light that Rodriguez could’ve been identified sooner, but at the time Pennsylvania’s system was backlogged by 5,000 cases. Meanwhile, Hoover argues that even though cases like the Kensington Strangler’s are sometimes solved through DNA, statistics from states that do practice pre-conviction DNA collection don’t reflect significant improvement in solving crimes. In a letter opposing SB 150, he wrote that, in 2011, Maryland collected 11,600 DNA samples from people charged but not yet convicted under law, and that those samples led to only nine additional convictions. “So that’s a lot of money and a lot of work,” says Hoover. “For almost no payoff.” The fiscal note attached to Pileggi’s bill suggests enactment would require $2.1 million from the general fund this fiscal year and $385,000 from next year’s budget. State trooper Adam Reed, a spokesperson for the state police, tells PW that “there are just too many variables right now to estimate a potential cost. It is possible that we would need expanded facilities, additional staff, and more supplies to handle the increase in incoming samples.” Reed said that the state police supported Pileggi’s bill—“in concept,” at least. Reality is another matter, however: “Resources are finite, and without the necessary time and planning, as well as sufficient funding, the enactment of this bill will have a negative impact on DNA laboratory operations.” n

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

for reds as well.) There is a lot of work planned for this restaurant, including a seriously expanded kitchen in the basement and a setup that will allow for a more streamlined flow down there, especially considering this new menu. (In-house charcuterie is also in the offing.) The transition hasn’t been seamless, of course. Branzino has been around for a long time, and there are plenty of regulars who must be chafing at the changes. But I have a feeling that once word gets out about how this re-energized restaurant is transitioning into a new phase of its life, any pushback from the regulars will be minimal. Good food, after all, tends to rise above that sort of thing. And Stollenwerk, even just a few months into his tenure here, is producing food as rewarding and exciting as he has in a long time. It’s great to have him back.

t’s been an uneven couple of years for Chef Mike Stollenwerk. The quick ascent of Little Fish, followed by a reasonably well-received second act in Fish, kicked off one of the most promising careers in the city. We hadn’t really seen a chef with this level of fishy mastery since Alison Barshak at Striped Bass all those years ago. But then something happened—maybe he tried to expand too quickly (Fathom and Fish’s Locust Street location come to mind); perhaps it was the attachment of his name, albeit briefly, to the perplexing Brick American Eatery (he did the first menu but left before the restaurant ever opened). Whatever the reason, Stollenwerk had by then gone from being a chef on the rise to something very different. Now he is helming the kitchen at Branzino, and once again, he’s delivering on the promise of his talent. Branzino is the Rittenhouse stalwart that, if reliable, hadn’t been terribly exciting in some time. Stollenwerk arrived there a couple months ago, and the change is nothing short of astounding: The menu now reads like his own (minus desserts, which will be transitioned shortly), with line after line boasting dishes you really want to eat. And the flavors of the platings are excellent. Salmon belly crudo arrived marching across a brick of pink Himalayan salt and glistening a similar color. Drizzled with lemon oil and brightened up with radish and cucumber, it was a deceptively simple preparation, resonant and restrained all at once. Charred octopus embodied all the tender meatiness you’d hope for, and without the gnawing chew it often falls victim to. Knobs of morcilla and coins of fried fingerlings lent it a lovely Spanish air without ever feeling heavy-handed. Spaghettini, crafted in-house and boasting a textbook rough texture and square edges, would have been better if too much lemon juice hadn’t obscured the anchovies and hot pepper, which should have been the real focus. A minor recalibration, however, and this has the potential to be one of Rittenhouse’s top pastas. Speck-wrapped Alaskan halibut was just barely overcooked, but that was a minor hiccup: A quick drag of that otherwise excellent fish through the almond gazpacho and a singing brown butter moistened everything right up. And, as Stollenwerk did with a particularly memorable serrano-wrapped cod back at Fish a few years ago, accompanying roasted grapes and cauliflower gave it a sweetness and depth that jibed perfectly with the ham. He also topped it with what he described as dried milk powder solids, an ingenious, delicious preparation that involves straining the fat out of brown-butter solids and then re-cooking them in butter before mixing them with roasted marcona almonds. It’s like butter on steroids: An ARod of lactic goodness. This new regime is lavishing just as much care on the menu’s meats, too. Roasted lamb belly managed to be both forcefully rich and well-moderated by a zippy cippolini agrodolce. The majority of the food at this BYOB may be white- or rosé-appropriate, but the lamb is justification for bringing along an emergency bottle of red, just in case.

hen Jim Koch, founder of the Boston Beer Co.—producer of the Samuel Adams brand—dropped in on Philly Beer Week last Wednesday, it wasn’t as much a visit as it was a homecoming. See, the roots of Samuel Adams’ success are almost as interwoven with Southeastern Pennsylvania as they are with Boston. Most of their brewing operations are located in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the Breinigsville brewery in the Lehigh Valley is their largest overall. Koch has history with Philadelphia, too, saying the city has “been an important home for us since the beginning.” These days, of course, Philly’s beer scene is among the best in the nation, swimming with taprooms, alehouses and brewpubs. But 25 years ago, before we’d yet become such a craft-beer mecca, there was the Sam Adams Brewhouse. Located above the Oyster House on Sansom Street, the then-novel brewpub made history when it opened in 1989; as Koch recalls, it was “the first brewery to open in Philadelphia since Prohibition.” There, Sam Adams produced beers like Ben Franklin’s Golden Ale and Poor Richard’s Amber Ale. The Brewhouse is long gone—the Nodding Head Brewery now operates in the same location—but Philly’s status as a beer
town began to grow over the years. One result has been Philly Beer Week. This year, Koch found himself scrambling to meet with local distributors, attend beer brunches at Khyber Pass (complete with Blueberry Hill Lager pancakes), bounce over to a cookout at the Bishop’s Collar and make a halfdozen other stops during his whirlwind stay in town. Even for the nation’s largest craft brewer, the event is no small thing. “Philly Beer Week, I think—and someone can correct me on this if I’m wrong—was the first really significant [city] beer week,” Koch says. “Now we have a multitude of them. It’s a testament to the beer community of Philly how quickly it has grown.” The Sam Adams founder doesn’t take credit for kickstarting the modern beer scene in Philly—he says it’s people like Carol Stoudt, the pioneering brewer who founded the Adamstown-based Stoudt’s in 1987 with her husband, Ed, who are the area’s true elder statesmen (or stateswomen, as it were, which makes Stoudt a pioneer in more way than one)—but he’s certainly honored to be part of the city’s recent beer history. Yet Koch wasn’t in town merely for the Philly Beer Week festivities. He also came to talk about Brewing the American Dream, a microloan program that
seeks to help those entering the food, beverage and hospitality businesses get on their feet—including other brewers. Wait, he’s lending a hand to future competitors? “It’s very counterintuitive,” he admits. “Here I am helping a guy compete with some of our products, but, two things: First of all, I enjoy it. I remember having to fight through difficulties, and it’s fun being able to help small businesses succeed. Second, it’s part of what it means to me to be a craft brewer. You’re part of a community. You help each other out.” Launched in 2008 and only just now gaining traction (“We started small and ramped it up as it succeeded”), the program has helped an array of artisanal eateries, beverage makers and brewers start down the road to success. The company’s Breinigsville brewery has even hosted business seminars on-site. The idea, Koch says, is to help startups navigate the difficult waters he had to navigate almost three decades ago: “I’ve been doing this 29 years. I don’t have anything to prove. I just want to enjoy my job.” And if that means helping other brewers make headway into the market? So be it. “It’s much more satisfying to be in a business where you like one another. I believe it’s a better business model.”

Honey’s Sit ‘N Eat
ALLA SPINA 1410 Mt. Vernon St. 215.600.0017. allaspinaphilly.com Cuisine: Italian gastropub. Defying expectations is the name of the game at Alla Spina, where Marc Vetri’s widely acclaimed hospitality gets a low-brow make-under to match the cuisine. Pig tails are fried, rendering the considerable fat succulent and the strands of meat both crisp and redolent with piggy goodness— think crunchy bacon and fatty pork belly, twisted together around a bone not unlike a chicken wing. They are best eaten with your fingers, a lip-smacking treat that manages to be at once sweet, sour, salty and rich. (Leah Blewett) ELA 627 S. Third St. 267.687.8512. Cuisine: Modern, creative American. This ambitious restaurant in the former Ansill space in Queen Village is well on its way to becoming one of the city’s most interesting, rewarding destinations. The skate arrived curled up like some sort of loose nautilus shell, its butter-browned flank a visual reference to the addictive whole-grain mustard crisps off to the side. A massive portion of thick, subtly gamy duck magret, the center glistening like a ruby, found its counterpart in a silky puree of smoked butternut squash. Get in while you can. I have a feeling, in another few months, once the national press “discovers” it, landing a table will be a justifiably difficult endeavor. (Brian Freedman) HAWTHORNES CAFE 728 S. 11th St. 215.627.36012. hawthornescafe.com Cuisine: Deceptively ambitious American. The weekend brunch at Hawthornes finds a delicate balance between the sort of morning comfort most of us require, and a kind of flavor-driven ambition that sets it apart. French toast—really more of a thrice-cooked bread pudding—is a standout. Tucked inside the crisp edges is a dense-yet-light center that’s silky with a bit of every sort of bread the kitchen uses here: brioche, challah, multigrain and more. It’s hearty and elegant all at once, and calls out for a side of some sort of meat. A recent pancake special—there’s a new one every week—saw the flapjacks bright with Meyer lemon’s perfume and topped by a beautifully turned out blueberry compote, its own sweetness tempered by vanilla- and almond-scented cream cheese. (B.F.)
HONEY’S SIT ‘N EAT 2101 South St. honeysitneat.com Cuisine: Comfort food, with particular love lavished on breakfast and brunch. When I first walked into the new Honey’s, on the 2100 block of South Street, I was prepared to take a mental inventory of all that had been cynically copied and stage-managed in an effort to recreate the magic of its NoLibs sibling. I was prepared, but I failed. Because the thing is, it works. The food shares the same DNA as the original, the same menu of comforting, fairly priced classics and riffs. The potato latkes remain addictive: With apologies to certain family members who shall remain nameless here, Honey’s thick-crusted, moist-centered latkes are what I fantasize about when dutifully gnashing through my desultory plateful of oilbombs at the annual Hanukkah party. (B.F.) VERNICK FOOD & DRINK 2301 Walnut St. 267.639.6644. vernickphilly.com 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.) VIETNAM HOUSE 901 Race St. 215.413.2828 Cuisine: Casual Vietnamese. Friendly staff and a relaxed space make for a pleasant atmosphere. Add that the price per dish doesn’t exceed $6.25, and suddenly this place is your new fave Philly spot. While most of the menu is familiar, subtle flavors and attentively cooked meat send Vietnam House to the forefront. An unfussy dish of broken rice with BBQ chicken arrives with the classic garnishes of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers—but the chicken is perfectly charred on the outside while maintaining a moist center. Wash the meal down with an iced coffee with condensed milk and you’ll never sleep again. (B.F.)

Catch ’Em While You Can Excellent productions of Venus in Fur and A Little Night Music are closing soon. By J. Cooper Robb // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC Through June 30. $36-$48. Arden Theatre Company, 40 N. Second St. ardentheatre.org
Keiper’s bold interpretation of “The Miller’s Son,” one of the musical’s few solos, is among its many high points. Still, A Little Night Music’s best performance belongs to Karen Peakes, who stole each scene with her wonderfully nuanced and profoundly moving portrayal of Carl-Magnus’ beleaguered wife, Countess Charlotte Malcolm. Overall, the Arden’s smart production of Sondheim’s justly celebrated romantic comedy is unforgettably funny, spectacularly dreamy and thoroughly entertaining.
VENUS IN FUR Through June 23. $46-$59. Suzanne Roberts Theatre, 480 S. Broad St. 215.985.0420. philadelphiatheatrecompany.org David Ives’ hit play Venus in Fur, an exceptional production by Philadelphia Theatre Company, is an impressively theatrical work that consistently toes the thin line between fantasy and reality. His works often favor style over substance, but in this drama, the playwright shrewdly combines the artifice of theater with role-playing in the bedroom to explore the role power plays in relationships between men and women. The action takes place in a New York studio, where playwright Thomas (Mark Alhadeff ) is auditioning actresses for the lead role in his new play. Thomas is preparing to call it a day when Vanda, played by the amazing Jenni Putney, bursts into the room. Soaking wet and fighting with an unhelpful umbrella, Vanda unleashes a string of expletives that would make a longshoreman blush. As her alarming tantrum subsides, Thomas sarcastically inquires, “Can I run out and fill any prescriptions for you?” Despite seeming entirely unsuitable for the role, Thomas allows Vanda to audition, and she is shockingly good. His play is an adaptation of a 19th-century German novel that focuses on a nobleman who gets satisfaction from being dominated by a woman he meets at a resort. The woman in Thomas’ play is named Vanda, which is just one of the many things about this mysterious actress that arouse our suspicions. It is Vanda’s identity that is the central mystery in Venus in Fur. Ives’ conclusion is slightly disappointing, but the increasingly eerie relationship between Vanda and Thomas keeps us thoroughly involved as we try to determine what is real and what is not. Under Kip Fagan’s capable direction, both actors are terrific. Thomas’ is the less intriguing role, but Alhadeff is excellent at exploring his character’s complicated psychological make-up, and his strong performance keeps the production balanced. Nevertheless, it is Putney’s volcanic, enigmatic portrayal of Vanda that makes Venus in Fur a simultaneously fascinating and thrilling must-see.

The Arden Theatre concludes its season with Stephen Sondheim’s timeless A Little Night Music, one of the finest shows in the company’s 25-year history. Inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s 1955 film Smiles of a Summer Night, the musical focuses on a variety of romantic entanglements between a group of well-to-do Swedes in the early 19th century. Featuring lyrics and music by Sondheim and a terrific libretto by Hugh Wheeler, the characters are reminiscent of the sort found in the plays of Anton Chekhov: restless, often unhappy and madly in love with the wrong people. But while Chekhov’s tragicomedies tend to be more tragic than comic, the tone in the Arden’s Night Music is considerably lighter and more optimistic. In Terrence J. Nolen’s hands, there is magic in the air, and not since the director’s 1998 staging of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream has an Arden production more adeptly captured the lunacy that love can inspire. This is the 12th Sondheim musical Nolen has helmed at the Arden, and it may be his best yet. Scenic designer James Kronzer’s sets are surprisingly spare, its minimalism only heightening the effect of Thom Weaver’s ravishing lighting, Jorge Cousineau’s extraordinary sound design and Rosemary E. McKelvey’s handsome costumes. And while Night Music’s visual appeal is undeniable, the show’s aural prowess is even more impressive. Sondheim’s remarkable songs are composed almost exclusively in 3/4 time (often known as “waltz time”), and his mix of enormously complex meter and his trademark patter make Night Music’s score a challenge for even the most accomplished singers. Nolen, however, casts several major roles with nonsingers, a daring move that pays off brilliantly. Neither Christopher Patrick Mullen (portraying the insecure lawyer Fredrik Egerman) or Grace Gonglewski, playing Desiree, are known for their singing, but under Nolen’s direction, their vocals are anything but liabilities, and their performance of the show’s signature tune, “Send in the Clowns,” is remarkably touching. In other key roles, Nolen casts accomplished vocalists. Ben Dibble—who may be the finest pure singer in Philadelphia theater—is outstanding as the brash and conceited Count Carl-Magnus. Teaming with Mullin on the brilliant duet “It Would Have Been Wonderful,” the actors’ dramatically different vocal styles emphasize the varying personalities of the characters they portray to great effect. Other superb performances include Sally Mercer as Madame Armfeldt and Alex Keiper as the passionate maid, Petra. One of the fastest rising stars in local theater,

5 Dance Records to Blast This Summer Some are new, some are old, and all are perfect for extra-loud listening. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com
T
Mining for Meaning Marc Silver’s anti-fracking LP makes some noise.
E
very year, Marc Silver retreats to the woods with two artist friends for phone-free communion with Mother Nature. They go out to a cabin in Dushore, Pa., about three and a half hours from Philly (an hour from WilkesBarre) and not far from Ricketts Glen State Park. He’s the only musician of the three, but he writes, and they cook and drink wine. Upon their arrival, they hit up the local farmers markets to stock the kitchen, and it was there that Silver found the inspiration for his new album, A Miner’s Town. His fifth LP is a little less bluegrass and a little more darkness, due in part to the ominous nature of the situation out in rural Pennsylvania—and in loads of other parts of our state—where fracking is wreaking havoc. Evoking a little Leonard Cohen and Johnny Cash, two touchstones for personal and bluntly bleak lyricism, A Miners’ Town’s songs are a mix of biographical, fictional and nonfictional tales, primarily ruminations on the effect of the shale mining industry. This batch of songs is gritty, gloomy and, quite frankly, angry. Silver’s frustrated and plagued with the burden of recognizing deception, theft and greed. Check his title track: Every barrel is a tomb and another town left to die/ Abandoned homes line the town’s main street/Bullets hit the windows and they shatter with a scream ‘tween the alleys/Old homes crackle in the smoldering fires/Burning all the things that were made from love inside. “It became apparent what was happening in the region, and you could see that there was a lot of drilling, pipe-lining and a lot of drump trucks,” he told PW. “So, for this record, I ended up doing a lot of research into testimonials of farmers and their stories of people getting sick and their wells getting poisoned.” The Missouri native and University of the Arts graduate is 37 now, a veteran of the Philly gigging scene. He’s been performing with his band, The Stonethrowers, around town for years, but this latest record is a testament to his growing and evolving songwriting skills. But life isn’t always so rosy. Silver’s got a day job teaching music to kids at the Shipley School, and he often dishes out his own money to put on a show. “I’m in the habit of paying my band,” he says. If only those frackers would cough it up for the damage they’ve done. (Bill Chenevert)
his is kind of a new thing. While I’ve never really been super keen on the thudding, chugging dance beats of, say, the Ruby Lounge downstairs at Voyeur (unless it’s been a long night of drinks) or even the sounds of Dave P’s Making Times, I think I’m starting to come around. It feels like a natural progression, very organic. Listening to six brand new records a week’s been both a chore and a delight over the past four years. And I honestly try to listen with open ears, even if I think a record’s going to be shitty or totally not up my alley. And in this regard, a few records over the past several weeks from the dance genre have lit me up, and I have a feeling this summer’s going to be awful dancey. First, a couple of older discs:
1
Daphni, Jiaolong Yes, this one’s more than seven months old, but I’m still hollering from the top of my lungs about it and discovering new joys the more I give it a listen. Caribou’s Daniel Snaith likes to play with beats and production, as evidenced by standout remixes of Cortney Tidwell and Hot Chip. And what’s wild is that the previous two EPs under the Daphni moniker are leaps and bounds less dance-oriented than his Merge debut. One listen to the intoxicating “CosBer-Zam Ne Noya (Daphni Mix),” and you’ll be hooked. It incorporates samples, tribalism, drum ‘n bass and deep grooves. Try to listen and not move at least one part of your body.
2
DJ Koze, Amygdala Released this past April, the German producer, mixer and beat-weaver is also known as Stefan Kozalla. Having competed in scratch and mix competitions since 1988 at the tender age of 16, you could say the Hamburg vet’s teeth are cut. And in 2010, he created his own label and released his newest on it, and it’s a honey. He deftly intertwines bizarro found sounds, weird splices of conversation and, on this new one, employs guests like a modern hip-hop emcee: Caribou, Apparat, Matthew Dear, Ada, Dirk von Lowtzow and Milosh. It’s another slow burn that’s easy to settle into and get comfortable with. Less of a movement piece than a meditative, trip-hop and DJ-perfected blend of electronic tones, it’s still dance music that’s brilliantly conceived and executed.
And some newer joints:
3
Disclosure, Settle This one’s been bangin’ nonstop since I bought it for a measly $7 on iTunes. Of course, it didn’t hurt that Pitchfork just branded it a Best New Music with a whopping 9.1 rating. With 14 tracks and a few key guests, including two of my favorite up-and-coming Brit soul stars, Jamie Woon and Jessie Ware, this one’s got amazing transitions and plays so smoothly from beginning to end that when it’s over, you’ll find yourself just pushing play again. It’s gonna be a long, worthwhile wait till the two brothers from Surrey, England land at Union Transfer on Oct. 28.
4
Classixx, Hanging Gardens The DJ duo from L.A. are childhood friends whose debut knocked a bunch of critics right on their asses. They’ve done a ton of remixes, including a lauded Phoenix version of “Lisztomania,” and have been associated with acts like LCD Soundsystem (and a host of other DFA acts) and Active Child (who appears on the track “Long Lost”). But going alone, their official debut’s a beautiful, stretched-out mediation on beats and grooves. It’s only a few weeks old, and clocking in at 55 minutes, it’s a solid $7 Amazon purchase. Can’t wait to catch them at Morgan’s Pier this Fri., June 14.
5
Jagwar Ma, Howlin From a few thorough listens on NPR’s First Listen feature, we can tell this one’s gonna leave a mark. This AussieBrit collaboration (the duo of friends are from Australia, but it was remixed and tracked by noted U.K. producer Ewan Pearson) is a full-on halfway hybrid between dance music and rock music. Slightly similar to a Matthew Dear show, where things are looped but guitars and drums and synths are used, they strike this delicate balance between rock that’s dancefloor friendly and straight-up dance music that uses instruments as well as electronics and production tricks. This is blissful psychedelia via the aforementioned marriage, and it’s a lovely addition to the summer’s dance catalogue. (See review on page 41.)

Bye, Darkness; Hello, Decency It’s not perfect, but Man of Steel’s big heart, like that of its hero, ultimately saves the day. By Sean Burns // sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com
B This Is the End
Party Over, Oops, Out of Time This Is the End isn’t to die for, but it’s still funny as hell.
H
ey, remember when James Franco threw that awesome party and it got ruined by the rapture? That’s more or less the premise of This Is the End, a rambling shambles from writer-directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg that’s probably the most self-indulgent wank in movie history, yet, on occasion, it’s hilarious. Nearly everybody who has ever told a dick joke in a Judd Apatow comedy shows up here, playing themselves—or more accurately, a crasser, much dumber variation on their celebrity persona. Seth Rogen’s the affable pothead, entertaining pal Jay Baruchel, who just flew in from Canada and can’t quite hide his disdain for childhood buddy Seth’s new L.A. friends. James Franco’s hosting the hottest party in Hollywood, and the spring breaker has a grand old time sending up his reputation as a pompous, pseudo-intellectual dolt. Jonah Hill oozes passive-aggressive hostility, while Craig Robinson amusingly interprets every social interaction as a personal affront. Franco’s bash is a who’s-who of comedy star cameos, with a jawdropping appearance by Michael Cera as a depraved coke fiend who decadently sips Capri Sun while getting a rim job in the bathroom. (Between this and the upcoming Crystal Fairy, Cera is on to a career resurgence playing assholes on drugs.) But then that damned apocalypse has to come along and ruin everybody’s good time. As dictated by scripture, the rapture sends all the good people up to heaven in a beam of blue light, so of course our shallow showbiz jerks are left behind on a ravaged planet, waiting around for the Four Horsemen. This Is the End gets some serious comic mileage out of how useless these pampered actors are in a crisis, and the movie hits a high note in more ways than one when they just decide to smoke all the weed they have left and shoot a sequel to Pineapple Express on the flipcam Franco saved from 127 Hours. Looters, natural disasters and prowling demons are no match for the destructive force of Danny McBride at full bluster, and as the survivors turn on each other, the movie grows wearying. Heavy on improvisation and at least half an hour too long, every time the picture begins to grind, there’s a left-field comic flourish that wins you back—if just barely. What a strange anti-vanity project—a bunch of friends got together and made a movie about how they all deserve to go to hell. (Sean Burns)
rows furrowed when Christopher Nolan came on board as a producer and story guy for this long-gestating relaunch of the Superman saga. Sure, Nolan’s dour, revisionist take on Batman put the “dark” in The Dark Knight and turned into a license to print money for Warner Brothers and DC Comics, but nothing suggested that his physically grounded, morally ambiguous “realism” would be remotely appropriate for the last son of Krypton. This is Superman, after all, lanternjawed embodiment of truth, justice and the American way. These summer tentpole projects keep pushing further into darkness, with even Mister Spock fist-fighting domestic terrorists across the multiplex hall. Do we really need to see a Clark Kent who’s as fucked up as Bruce Wayne? So, it comes as a great relief to report that Man of Steel is a genuine Superman movie. The desaturated palate and fidgety handheld camera are obvious concessions to the modern blockbuster era, but such tweaks are merely cosmetic (like ditching the red undies in Kal-El’s costume.) Directed by Zack Snyder, Man of Steel is first and foremost wonderfully sincere, defined by the decency of its main character. This is quite unexpected coming from Snyder, whose previous pictures toggled between the perverse (Dawn of the Dead) the fascist (300) and the rapey (Sucker Punch). It’s an honorable effort. We begin on Krypton, where shoddy environmental protection and shortsighted energy policies have doomed the once-thriving planet to destruction. (Because that doesn’t sound familiar at all.) Russell Crowe’s Jor-El dukes it out with Michael Shannon’s glowering General Zod about how best to preserve their race, and after a lengthy, eye-popping prologue, young Kal-El is rocketed off to Kansas. If I may take pause for a moment to congratulate myself, it was in these very pages that I referred to Russell Crowe entering his “fat Brando phase” as far back as 2007’s 3:10 to Yuma remake, and now, here he is stepping into one of Marlon’s most iconically marble-mouthed paycheck roles. There’s no overstating how delightful Crowe is in Man of Steel, nimbly handling huge chunks of laborious exposition with a gravitas that’s
What a Man: English actor Henry Cavill stars as Superman in Man of Steel, the long-gestating relaunch of the superhero saga.
somehow light on its feet. I was thrilled the movie kept contriving clever ways to bring him back onscreen. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Man of Steel takes on a sometimes clumsy flashback structure, kicking into gear with adult Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) anonymously drifting from town to town, working dead-end jobs until, inevitably, circumstances cause him to reveal his superpowers, at which point he hits the bricks again. Unfortunately for Clark, he’s got pesky lady reporter Lois Lane on his trail in connection with what appears to be a spacecraft discovered deep within the Arctic. Working from a screenplay by David S. Goyer, Snyder hits all the expected broad strokes in The Man of Tomorrow’s mythology. There’s the homespun wisdom from his adoptive Pa Kent (a terrific Kevin Costner) and the orphan’s yearning to understand his roots. As characteristic of the nuts-and-bolts-minded Nolan, we learn more than usual about the alien child’s struggle to adapt to Earth’s atmosphere and the discipline required to restrain his unfathomable power. Clark believes the world isn’t ready to accept that we are not alone in the universe, hence the hobo routine. But when Zod and his Kryptonian cronies arrive looking for a fresh place to start anew, everybody better get ready in a hurry. What I liked here is that it’s not Clark who is being tested here. He’s always his noble, forthright self. The suspense lies
in whether or not we’re willing to accept such a stranger among us. Oh, and of course, there’s also action. Superman’s and Zod’s high-flying rock ‘em-sock ‘em brawls topple so many Metropolis skyscrapers, it’s sometimes difficult not to consider the millions upon millions of innocent bystanders who are presumably being killed. The mass destruction becomes numbing, and yet still, it’s tough to complain about any movie that gives you Michael Shannon throwing a train at somebody. Truth be told, the quieter moments are what linger afterwards. Cavill wears a tricky role comfortably, and Adams has this saucy way of looking at him like she can’t wait to get under that cape. Diane Lane is all maternal kindness in the Tree of Life-inspired Kansas flashbacks, Laurence Fishburne is an off-beat but inspired choice for Daily Planet editor Perry White, and Crowe and Costner are just the best two dads a superhero could have. Man of Steel is not without problems. The plot’s sci-fi gobbledygook gets awfully unwieldy, and I wish the colors had popped instead of settling for such drearily realism. But this is a movie with a big heart, just like its hero.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
ON THE IDIOT BOX
ON THE MENU
...Like Clockwork (Matador) Sounds like: Their seventh is a complex and heady mix of thrash, scuz, sad-sack songwritery blues, classic rock and metal lite; Josh Homme’s genius shines. Free association: They’ll never make a terrible record as long as Homme’s around. For fans of: Faith No More x Blur, Sabbath/ Alice/Zep + Foo Fighters, modern hardness. (Bill Chenevert)
JAGWAR MA
THIRD ANNUAL PHILADELPHIA VENDY AWARDS
Howlin (Mom + Pop Music) Sounds like: The unholy marriage between dance music and rock grooves has never sounded better on this Aussie duo’s debut, mixing psychedelics with disco. Free association: What’s going on?! Tis the season for outstanding electronica. For fans of: The Stone Roses/Foals x Caribou/Toro y Moi, guitars and beats. (B.C.)
Sat., June 8, at Penn Treaty Park. streetvendor.org/vendys The latest dish: A food-truck cook-off between the Cow & the Curd, Lil’ Pop Shop, King of Falafel, Sweet Box Cupcakes, Poi Dog, Foo Truck, Chez Yasmine, Chewy’s, Tot Cart, KAMI, Lil Dan’s and Sugar Philly. Description: A bunch of food truck vendors arranged in a loose circle and plenty of sunshine to wash down the decadence. The beer from Brooklyn Brewery helped with that, too. People wandered around Penn Treaty Park in a feverish food dream, attempting to gauge the sometimes odd, often delectable goodies being offered by these mobile eateries. In a not very surprising turn, the Cow & the Curd, which specializes in deep-fried cheese, won the People’s Choice Award. If I had my way, it would have gone to KAMI; their bulgogi cheesesteak was dense, flavorful and paired well with the beer on hand. And still, of everything I ate, Lil’ Pop Shop’s popsicles are what I crave the most. Coconut hibiscus popsicles are the ultimate summer snack. Yum or yuck: Yum. Way too many hits to take away from the scattered misses. The food truck game in Philly is too good to ignore. (Michael Brady)
DISCLOSURE Settle (Interscope) Sounds like: Two brothers from Surrey, England debut a delicious treat of disco and dance music done just right for your summer dance party needs. Free association: Classixx, and now this? Making Time bookers, take heed and buy. For fans of: SBTRKT/Hot Chip, Jessie Ware and Jamie Woon, Brit electro brilliance. (B.C.)
THE NATIONAL
QUADRON Avalanche (Epic) Sounds like: Their sophomore as a duo, these two are all over the place, collabing with Kendrick Lamar and Baz Luhrman and pumping out avant R&B and folk funk. Free association: Anything these two touch is automatically sexy and enjoyable. For fans of: Boom Clap Bachelors/Rhye, Chaka Khan + Inc., slow, soulful bedroom pop. (B.C.)
EAST LOS HIGH Currently streaming on Hulu.com Captive audience: Young Latino audiences; people who never believed a minute of 90210 because there weren’t any Latinos around. Moment of truth: This new half-hour drama, exclusively streaming on Hulu, follows a bunch of Latino teenagers as they learn and love at an East Los Angeles high school. As great it is to see a show starring Latinos made by Latinos, the show is a cheaply made disaster. Along with poorly written characters (Oh, look: There’s the virginal, nerdy, angelic protagonist, right next to the sassy sidekick, the vindictive school slut and the bad girl from the wrong side of the tracks), the show’s low-budget seams are painfully visible. As well-meaning as this show is, it’s no Degrassi Junior High. Emmy or phlegmmy: Phlegmmy. (Craig D. Lindsey)
KING & MAXWELL Mondays, 10pm, TNT Captive audience: Fans of TNT’s guilty-pleasure shows; guys who still enjoy seeing Rebecca Romijn in tight outfits; my next-door neighbor, who loves David Baldacci novels. Moment of truth: The latest show from the “We Know Drama” channel has the eternally foxy Rebecca Romijn and journeyman actor Jon Tenney as former Secret Service agents-turned-private detectives in this adaptation of David Baldacci’s series of novels. Judging from the pilot episode, the show is routinely melodramatic, with Romijn and Tenney using their wits and kicking ass when they’re not keeping up the sexual tension by constantly bickering. It’s hardly a work of genius, but it’s another reasonably entertaining show from the network that gave you acceptable comfort-food TV like Tenney’s last gig, The Closer. Emmy or phlegmmy: Phlemmy. (C.D.L.)
PRETTY WICKED MOMS SURFER BLOOD Pythons (Warner Bros./Sire) Sounds like: The second from Florida’s version of Real Estate is another excellent bunch of surf-inspired lo-fi rock that’s sunny, bouncy and irresistible. Free association: May not be quite up to Astro Coast, but this is great guitar rock. For fans of: The Beach Boys x DIIV/Vampire Weekend, the Shins, loud happiness. (B.C.)
Tuesdays, 10pm, Lifetime Captive audience: Bitches. And people who love watching bitches on TV. Moment of truth: Who’s ready for another reality show starring a bunch of self-centered beeyotches? Well, ready or not, here comes the uppity broads of this Lifetime trainwreck. This show follows a bunch of Atlanta moms, most of them interchangeable blondes—and a couple brunettes to keep it diverse—as they raise their children and talk shit about one another. It’s bad enough most of these gals look like Kristen Wiig when she appears in that Californians skit on SNL, but they’re not even that interesting. I never thought I’d say this, but after watching this, I miss the ghetto bullshit of Basketball Wives. Emmy or phlegmmy: Phlegmmy. (C.D.L.)
ON THE GUEST LIST THE NATIONAL AT THE MANN CENTER Fri., June 7. manncenter.org Overall vibe: A bunched of aged, disenfranchised hippies and lovers of sad bastard rock came together to wallow in the sounds of the Brooklynbased great-album machine. Most memorable moment: On their records, the National come across like a patient buzzsaw: steady, destructive, loud. There is no sense of things coming unravelled. At their shows, they play with a proud ferocity, living in each other’s heads, but all that control their songs showcase disappears. Frontman Matt Berninger guzzles wine and barks his lyrics at the audience, and they just smile. I would love to see these guys in a smaller venue, where the volume of noise would make your eyeballs shake in their sockets. Scene stealer: During the encore song, the raucous “Mr. November,” Berninger left the stage and barreled through the crowd with a glass of white wine in hand, screaming the chorus in sharp defiance. (M.B.)
FIRST WORLD THEATRE ENSEMBLE’S “MURALISTA” Through Sun., June 16, C.E.C., 3500 Lancaster Ave. firstworldtheatre.biz Overall vibe: Brechtian sedition. Zuhairah McGill, the artistic director of First World Theatre Ensemble, Philadelphia’s only African-American repertory theater company, greeted her rain-drenched audience on the tempestuous opening night of Joseph Blake’s Muralista declaring, “We are a socially driven self-sufficient company who can only present you the problem. But are you going to be a part of the solution?” Most memorable moment: At the epicenter of Muralista is a recent art school graduate, played by Keith Illidge, who is offered his first $2,500 commission. Arriving to the painting site, he wrestles with the question: To paint or not to paint the mural? The artist may have difficulty applying his paint roller to the neighborhood wall, but playwright Blake, with his fearless application of language, leaves his play stocked with elaborately painted verbal sketches of the residents in the neighborhood. Illidge describes to a reporter played by Miranda Thompson: “A teenage mother struggling to get on a SEPTA bus. Juggling two children in her arms. She gets thrown off the bus on the same crack vile littered block seconds later because she lost her only token.” Scene stealer: Or Muralista’s major blemishes: The demonized “Nice White Woman” (Elizabeth Michaels) and the nameless corporate-funded agency she represents need to be more specifically drawn. In order to ignite social change with this play, Blake needs to address “the program” his characters obsessively refer to by its actual name: the Mural Arts Program. (Jessica Foley)

Trouble Will Find Me (4AD Records) Sounds like: The Cincinnati, Ohio-born pair of brothers and brilliant baritone Matt Berninger’s sixth is a subtle, sedated and hushed moment of sophisticated indie wit. Free association: Quieter and simpler than they’ve been. Sometimes less is more. For fans of: Sloan/Wilco x Megafaun + the Smiths, Arcade Fire, American thoughtfulness. (B.C.)

SAVAGE LOVE By Dan Savage // mail@savagelove.net I’m a 27-year-old bisexual chick who just moved in with my girlfriend of 10 months. I love her very much, and this is a great relationship. Here’s the thing: I like to smoke pot, and pot makes her very uncomfortable. We’ve talked about it a lot—you know how dykes are—and I’ve been up front with her from the beginning. I’m responsible and successful, and I don’t smoke that often. I’m afraid we’re reaching an impasse on this issue. I’ve considered banishing pot from my life, but I know that some part of me would always resent her for not letting me be who I am. To her credit, she doesn’t want me to stop smoking, but she gets angry and blames herself for the whole problem. I feel like I’m asking her to change a pretty fundamental belief, and I don’t know how fair that is. Basically, I need some perspective. Am I being an asshole? Distraught Kentucky Dyke What is it about lesbianism that renders a person incapable of taking yes for an answer? (Or maybe it’s cunnilingus? Does Michael Douglas have the same problem?) Your girlfriend isn’t asking you to stop smoking pot, she recognizes that she’s the one in this relationship with a drug problem, and over time (it’s only been 10 months!) she’ll probably get over these OMFG-my-girlfriend-smokes-pot panic attacks. She’s giving you a great big yes, DKD, and I think you should take it. But if you insist on viewing this as a problem that must be solved—if you insist on being a couple of cliche lesbians who feel they have to operate their relationship on the consensus model or someone is being oppressed—then this issue will be an endless source of anxiety and drama. Better to agree to disagree, smoke when the girlfriend isn’t around, and remember to return the favor when the time comes, i.e., agree to let her enjoy something that you don’t without pitching fits about it. I’m a lost little lesbian. I have been with my partner for the past four years. We love each other, our parents are happy for us, and we make a great team. My girlfriend deployed to Afghanistan, and I was an angel for the first four months of her deployment. But then I hit a rocky spot. After an argument on Skype, I went to confide in a friend. My friend and I cooked dinner, drank and chatted. The next thing I knew, it was 5 a.m., and I was on the couch half-dressed. I never told my girlfriend. Part of me wanted to, but the moment she got off the plane and dropped to one knee, I knew I’d be keeping my indiscretion a secret. During her second deployment, I ended up out on the town with friends and was heavily intoxicated. Cutting to the chase: I slept with a random person. I did the same thing again five months later. None of these people meant anything to me. My girlfriend is back, and this is the happiest I’ve ever seen her. We are planning a wedding, and I can’t bring myself to break her heart. I have identified that drinking is a major problem and I am finished with it. I know that the things I have done will never happen again, and I want to spare her that hurt. How do I get past all the mistakes I’ve made so that I can love her the way she deserves to be loved? Army Wife In Training By giving yourself a break, AWIT. You were drunk, you were lonely, and you were unmarried. OK, you weren’t exactly single at the time, it’s true, and you
did a shitty thing ... and another shitty thing ... and another shitty thing. You can look on those three shitty things as unforgivable betrayals (and as prologue) or you can look at them as important life lessons you learned before making a formal and (hopefully) final commitment to your fiancee. Resolve to stay away from booze, go get tested for STIs, and stuff those booze-soaked, pre-exchangeof-vows experiences down the memory hole. My girlfriend of one month is a professional dominant. I was OK with it because I assumed all her clients were men. (We are lesbians.) It turns out that three different straight couples are regular clients. I feel she should have proactively disclosed this information to me. Can I insist that she stop seeing male/female couples? The Only Woman In Her Life You can insist on anything you like, TOWIHL, and then your girlfriend can decide whether she’s willing to sacrifice six established clients for a controlling, insecure girlfriend that she’s known for only a month. Since building a regular clientele represents financial and physical safety to many sex workers, your new girlfriend is unlikely to choose you over six established clients. So brace yourself for the dump that’s very likely coming your way. I’m queer and mostly into women, but with a severe attraction to one particular guy. We’re close friends and hang out all the time. A few weeks ago, he came back to my place, and we made out for 15 minutes before he said that he’s not really attracted to me. We have always been really touchy, we’re shirtless around each other a lot, and I’m struggling to believe him when he says he’s not physically attracted to me. How do you make out with someone you don’t find physically attractive? Further developments: There have been two recent instances in which he moved in on a woman I had expressed an interest in. I told him off about this, and he said he won’t do it again, but doesn’t that say something about him? Am I just being paranoid? Wants Hetero Affections Tamed This guy sounds like a narcissistic douchebag who enjoys toying with people who are attracted to him. He sounds like a narcissistic douchebag with a bit of a sadistic streak. Telling someone midmake-out-session that you’re not really attracted to them is cruel, getting half-naked with someone who’s into you when you’re not into them is cruel, swooping down on girls who your queer girlfriend has expressed an interest in is cruel and an asshole move. All his moves are asshole moves. Now, I’m sure this guy has lots of wonderful qualities— most narcissistic douchebags have some cause to be narcissists—and you don’t have to cut him out of your life. But you do need to be less open with him emotionally, socially and sexually. Don’t give him any more opportunities to toy with you—no touchy-touchy, no make-out sessions, no partial disrobing—and don’t point out girls you’re interested in. Or, hey, get your revenge by “expressing an interest” in girls you don’t think are hot. This week on the Savage Lovecast: Are shrinks good for your love life? Also, how should you comport yourself when you’re the Dungeon Master and you have to watch your ex-girlfriend be some other guy’s slave? Find out at savagelovecast.com.

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.
