Regarding Katherine Rochester’s view on First Friday: It doesn’t sound like this article has a fair understanding of what’s been going on in the North for over half a decade. The Frankford Avenue Arts Corridor isn’t something new and unpublished. What you are hinting at in this article is aesthetics (ex. young vs. old). True, the aesthetics of Old City and Fishtown are entirely different, but to say there aren’t any old heads frequenting or involved in the bubble is slightly naive.

There are as many families, middle-aged adults, and 20-somethings found traversing the Fishtown bubble as Old City. The aesthetics of the galleries vary with yes, young folk making things, but galleries like Highwire have a similar following found in some Old City galleries.

Regarding Randy LoBasso’s article about the closing of Trapeze, a swingers club in Fishtown: The biggest problem with Trapeze was the location. The closing had nothing to do with the Pleasure Garden that is located in the middle of nowhere in southwest. Everything is private there, even the parking lot. The Trapeze owner just picked a bad location not knowing the area or knowing the neighborhood association. It’s not something I would want in my neighborhood and I’m OK with adults doing what they want to do. I’ve been to both clubs and both were very upscale places.

Each had good and bad.

The city removes bike-rental services from Kelly Drive—for no good reason.

By Randy LoBasso rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com rya n st r a n d

existence of the bond altogether: “[T]here was no requirement for a bond of any sort to accompany the proposal submission, and hence none was submitted by your company.” Krotick gave Vallejo the date of the 2006 check, memo and check number.

At this point, the city acknowledged the check’s existence, but claimed the bond was actually a “security deposit,” which Breakaway would get back as soon as they removed the shack the city had them buy.

Property and Concessions Director of Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Robert Allen then told Breakaway they were required to remove the Lloyd Hall Bike Shack from its location within 30 days of May 31, since they owned it, and were no longer working with the city. Failure to do so would allow the city to “treat the Storage Facility as abandoned and sell it and retain all proceeds from the sale,” he wrote in a letter to Krotick.

“We’re simply asking them to do what’s in their contract that they signed,” Robert

Cunnane of Fuji Bikes and Mayor Nutter.

“At the time, Breakaway did not see this as fair because they proposed it,” Krotick says. “If not for Breakaway’s proposal, this idea would not have existed.”

But they went along with it. Strangely, the bidding process was not to take place until May 2011, after the season had already started. There was one other bidder on the contract, which the city later deemed unacceptable for undisclosed reasons.

So Breakaway assumed they’d get the bid again. Krotick submitted the application on time, dated April 26, of which an original and required eight copies were provided. But because Krotick signed the original in black pen—the same color as the copies—the city claimed they didn’t know which, if any, was the original. They requested he come into the Municipal Services Building May 10, a day after the submission deadline, and sign a new “original proposal.” He insisted an original

“If the citizens of Philadelphia speak up and say, ‘We want rentals in the park, we love our park system, this is a service that is not costing the city a dime, why are you taking this away from us,’ then maybe something can happen.”

Bike lock: The Lloyd Hall Bike Rental shack on Kelly Drive is closed.

But earlier this year, that all changed.

The city ended the contract with Breakaway, and by extension, bike rentals at that Kelly Drive spot for the rest of the 2011 summer.

So much for being green.

Allen tells PW. “It was brought here on a flat bed truck and it can be removed on a flat bed truck.” The city has declined to comment further on why it will not renew Breakaway’s contract.

“They have their mind made up that this is the greatest thing in the world,” says Krotick, who still gets calls asking where all the Kelly Drive rentals are and whose rental business still appears on visitphilly. com. “That everyone’s going to bid on it.

But no one’s going to bid on it.” Indeed, Allen says the city was “disappointed by the fact that … we only received two proposals” after “several organizations attended the pre-proposal meeting.”

7

In response to the city’s request for removal, Breakaway has started a Facebook group called “Save Our Shack,” trying to garner local support to keep the rental shack in place. “If the citizens of Philadelphia speak up and say, ‘We want rentals in the park, we love our park system, this is a service that is not costing the city a dime, why are you taking this away from us,’” he says, “then maybe something can happen. They just took it away and no one knows about it.”

At the very least, he’d like some time to attempt a sale of the shack to the next bike-rental business, which will be there in 2012. Maybe. n

•

In 2010, Breakaway decided to propose an expansion of their rentals. Instead of just the one location, they’d have four: One along Schuylkill Banks, one along the Wissahickon, one near Valley Green, and the original Lloyd Hall Shack. In addition to upping the rentals, Breakaway approached the city about starting a bikeshare program, similar to Philadelphia Car Share, with eventual locations all over the city. And the city, especially the Department of Parks and Recreation, ate it up.

But all of a sudden, a new bidding process was required for the entire deal. And according to the terms and conditions of the original contract with Breakaway, this was totally allowed. The city was also allowed to terminate the contract any time it felt like it. Krotick says he felt played by the sudden change of heart, since the city was bidding out on the idea he came up with and would later say so in a letter to Deputy Commissioner Mary E. Stitt, with copies sent to Alex Dotty of the Greater Philadelphia Bicycle Coalition, Patrick

was in the stack he’d handed them, but said “fuck it” and went in anyway. Rental season had already been stalled enough.

“I said, ‘If you don’t think it’s real, I’ll sign a new one,’” says Krotick, “right now.” He did, dated it and left.

A week later, he got a letter saying the proposal had been rejected. The May 10 dated cover letter he signed in person did not match the April 26 copies the city already had. Leaving his bid DOA. Krotick says he felt screwed over, and let the city know as much. After weeks of being ignored, he got an email back from the city saying Breakaway’s contract for the Lloyd Hall Shack had been terminated, because the city was allowed to do so for no reason at all: “This [request for proposal] does not commit the City to award a concession agreement’… Thank you for your interest in doing business with the city.”

Krotick now refers to this as the “fuck you, we can do whatever we want email.”

It made him wonder if the city was really interested in going green, or just making it look like it was.

Krotick accepted his defeat and asked the city for his $5,000 city performance bond back. (When they first won the bid in 2006, Krotick and Wentzell were asked to put down a $5,000 “bond”). But Public Works Supervisor Julio Vallejo denied the

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY July 6 - 12, 2011

The city likes to say it’s all about going green these days. And in some cases—the Greenworks initiative, recycling rewards, the strange idea to have water taxis on the Delaware by next year—they probably are.

So what’s the city’s explanation for canceling bike-rental services along Kelly Drive?

Last week, the Lloyd Hall Bike Rental Shack, at 1 Kelly Drive, was supposed to be removed by Glenn Krotick and his business partner, Joseph Wentzell. But they’re keeping it there out of protest.

Krotick and Wentzell, owners of Breakaway Bikes at 1923 Chestnut St., have been spending weekends renting bikes from the shack they own since winning a bid from the city in 2006. Each year, the shack was open from April through October, giving the city 30 percent of the $10/hour, $50/day rate they charged for their Fuji Absolute hybrid rental bikes. And most winters since the opening, before rental season, the city would automatically extend Breakaway’s contract for another year. “We really thought it would be a good way of marketing us,” says Krotick, a former general-practice lawyer who claims Breakaway did not financially profit directly from the rental venture.

“We want to promote cycling, we want to promote a nice healthy environment for the city. Plus, every big city has some kind of rental system.”

PW gets a taste of this year's Vendy Award nominees.

s it safe to say we’re over the whole “eating food from a truck” thing? Because there are some serious eats being produced by the city’s meal mobiles. We know, we know: You got a breakfast sammich from the guy who picks at his toenails between orders (true story), and then got totally skeeved out by the whole concept. But listen, gang, food trucks are a part of this city’s cultural fabric. They bring so much life to our otherwise dirty streets. And eight little trucks in particular—finalists in Philly’s first Vendy Awards competition, the most prestigious sidewalk-chef cookoff known to man—are churning out cheap, fresh fare that’ll blow your friggin’ mind. We should know—we checked out all of what they had to offer (with the exception of one, which was closed due to a death in the family. Our condolences).

Our goal was not to see how the trucks compare with one another. You won’t find ratings here. That’ll be the job of the judges—one of whom is our very talented Music & Food Editor Brian McManus, who was in no way involved in the making of this story—this Sat., July 9, at the Piazza. Our mission was to have regular folks, nonexperts if you will, trying out the same stuff you may very well have for lunch today. They’re food trucks, after all. Everything about them, including their reviews, should be accessible.

That being said, we took note of ambiance, time we spent waiting in line, location, price, customer service and, of course, taste. Our field trips took us to places we never imagined. We sat in the beautiful, shaded garden surrounding La Copine, which serves locally sourced, farm-fresh brunch specials in NoLibs. We chased Guapos Tacos from Love Park to Clark Park just so we could get a nibble of those oh-so-succulent pulled-pork tacos with fresh pineapple. We devoured macarons—French cookies that look like fancy Oreos—from Sugar Philly on a steaming hot day, washing it all down with fresh, bold iced coffee. Thai-Mexican from Cucina Zapata near Drexel? We no longer have to fantasize about how fuckin’ awesome that sweet-spicy union is.

Sweets and meats, people. It’s beautiful.

We now present to you the eight finalists in the 2011 Vendy Awards. Keep on truckin’! (Nina Hoffmann)

Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri: Love Park; Thurs: 43rd and Baltimore at Clark Park. guapostacos.com We all know that when it comes to eating out in Philly, there are two choices you’re likely to weigh: Starr or Garces.

Both are powerhouses, serving up a variety of cuisines in every corner of the city. But it’s possible Iron Chef Jose Garces finally has Stephen Starr beat with Guapos Tacos, a little lunch truck packing big-flavor punch. With menu items like fresh guacamole, esquites (sweet corn topped with queso fresco with a dash of chipotle and a hint of lime), tamales and a slew of soft-taco options like chipotle short rib, duck, carnitas, fish, mushroom and chile chicken, Garces stays true to authentic Mexican flavors.

I sampled the esquites ($4), a sweet corn side dish topped with queso fresco and chipotle seasoning for a kick. The corn was fresh and slightly buttery, and the cheese and spice complemented it well without being too overpowering. The chipotle short-rib taco ($7) is accompanied by black beans, white onions, radish, cilantro and cheese. Though all the ingredients were fresh, the toppings distract from what should have been the main event: chipotle-seasoned meat. Maybe it was the seasoning or slew of other ingredients, but the chipotle was not as spicy as I hoped. Next came the carnitas taco ($7): pulled pork with diced pineapple, onion, cilantro and black beans. The pork had a little more kick than the short rib, but the pineapple and onion juices complemented the spice and sent my taste buds to a beautiful tropical paradise. The Pescara Taco ($8) isn’t a frequent flier on the Guapos truck, but it definitely should be with the lightly battered mahi-mahi topped with julienned cabbage, diced tomato, cilantro and fresh cream. Sure, fish from a truck sounds, well, fishy, but not if it’s from Papa Garces. The mahi-mahi was light, fresh, flaky and slightly sweetened from the cabbagecream-tomato-cilantro quartet. The fact that the Lonely Island’s “I Just Had Sex” came on after swallowing the last morsel of the fish signaled that my mouth just had an orgasmic and tasty experience of outrageous proportions.

Where Guapos Tacos gains points for taste, it loses for price. The tacos range from $6-$8 and are served with two per order, but if you’re a big eater, these portions could be considered small. You shouldn’t be waiting any more than five minutes for your gourmet goodies, but the truck often sells out by mid-afternoon. So get there early—you really can’t miss this bright truck adorned with thousands of beer bottle caps and blasting the “Time Warp.” Pick up an authentic Mexican soda in grapefruit, mandarin or mango for a little mid-day feast-esta on the steps of the Love fountain. For daily hours, locations and details, follow the truck @guapostacos. (Alexis Sachdev)

with pico de gallo is doused with avocado, spicy peanuts, mangos, lettuce and red cabbage. Were it not for an inconvenient avocado allergy, I would have been all over this.

Sweet potato chicken curry–by far my favorite–blended diced sweet potatoes and curried chicken with onion, coconut milk, cabbage, lettuce and carrots. The final product tasted more like Indian aloo gobi than anything Thai, but the spices weren’t too overpowering and the flavors appeared like layers: First came the curry, then coconut milk and onion, and finally the soft and spicy sweet potato to bring everything home. For the more plain or daring foodies, the truck offers varying degrees of spice from mild to hot for every dish. Unless you’re familiar with Drexel’s campus, this spot can be a bit difficult to find. Ludlow is between Market and Chestnut streets, and doesn’t have much in the way of available parking nearby.

It’s definitely ideal for those walking distance away, and with other trucks lined up, it’s a great location for lunch with friends or co-workers. Don’t expect it to be quick, though. Although I arrived after the lunch rush around 2 p.m., I waited more than 10 minutes for three tacos. But, with pleasant service, appetizing presentation and a nice price—$8 for three tacos and two bottles of water—I’ll definitely be returning to try the Captain Crunch Tilapia Taco. (A.S.)

King of Falafel

Mon.-Fri., 11am-2pm. 16th Street and JFK Blvd.

It’s safe to say that after 22 years of business, the Middle Eastern food truck King of Falafel knows exactly what its doing. The self-proclaimed royals are located on the corner of 16th Street and JFK Boulevard. If you consider yourself royalty, you better be able to back it up with some good eats. This truck is turning out falafel constantly throughout the day, so gross and mushy bites are not even an option. The falafel is fresh, as is everything on the menu. I took my first bite of the falafel with hummus and I was instantly hooked. It’s deep-fried but shows no signs of greasiness. The crunchy falafel is spread equally throughout this hefty wrap combined with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, hummus and tahini sauce. Garlic instantly hits your taste buds and pleases your senses. The wrap is a decent size especially since the wonderful lady behind the counter only charges $3.75 for it. The service is friendly and speedy. I received my food within minutes of ordering with a large line in front of me. Tabouly salad, shish kabobs, lentil soup and falafel platters are just some of the additional options available on the menu. Love Park is

31st and Ludlow streets. Serving lunch.

Self-described by owners Rob and Ruk Zapata as an amalgamation of Thai and Mexican cuisine, one of Drexel’s newer trucks—Cucina Zapata—is certainly making its presence known in the roughly three months it’s been open. The first in a long line of lunch trucks, Cucina takes Thai classics like satays and curries and wraps them up in soft tortillas. But don’t expect to chow down on some Taco Bell tacos doused with Sriracha sauce. This truck’s dishes are made with fresh veggies and the cleanly cut meat is cooked on-site.

Three of the truck’s specialties are the Thai Short-Rib Taco, the Chicken Satay Taco and a Thai Sweet Potato Curry, which can be served over rice or on a tortilla. The Thai Short-Rib Taco features a spicy chili sauce atop succulent short ribs. It’s packed with lettuce, julienned carrots, apples, pico de gallo, peanuts and onion. Though the spicy chili sauce isn’t for all palates, the fresh vegetables provide a cool and refreshing twist to the explosive sauce.

just across the street, which is the perfect place to chow down. How the pleasant lady produces such quality food in such a tiny food truck will never make any sense to me.

She defies the odds. I guess this is precisely why they are the kings—and queens! (Melissa Straube)

Avenue) is somewhat of a dinner truck disguised as a lunch truck—the food itself and the large servings will give you that sluggish, post-lunch feeling that’ll have you reaching for your Starbucks mug or your travel pillow. The $7 platter (the small size) included enough food for two nicely sized meals. I’m generally tough on soul food—my grandmother grew up in the Deep South and cooked better than any chef on the planet, and my great uncle put down a mean fish fry. To top them, in my eyes, would be a miraculous feat. We sampled the fried fish with mac and cheese and string beans as our chosen sides. The fish had a nice flavor, and the well-seasoned batter used to coat it was still crunchy after sitting for a while. Not an easy feat for fish fried on a truck. But the trouble came with the side dishes. The mac and cheese was almost unrecognizable. The cheese had a waxy, artificial taste. The cut string beans had a bit of crunch, but little flavor. I don’t do spicy so I didn’t try the jerked meats, which, according to other customers in line, are like flames being set in your mouth.

But even with the large number of customers, it didn’t seem like the Caribbean dishes were immediately popular.

Every customer who ordered while we were there got fried fish or chicken. (Darren White)

in grocery store dip. The tabouli was bold and minty, made in a very traditional style. The falafel had a nice flavor but was a bit mealy. The super polite staff kept the line moving quickly, and its location next to the Quad— full of benches and shade—is ideal. The best part: lunch for two for less than $16, with a TON of leftovers. (D.W.)

La Copine

Sat.-Sun., 11am-4pm; Second and Poplar streets. la-copine.com The breakfast sandwich—a morning staple for those on the go—is nothing new to the lunch-truck repertoire. Take a bagel, croissant or long roll, slap on eggs, American cheese and your choice of meat, and voila, you have a heart attack wrapped in foil. Why not just eat a stick of butter every morning? But if you’re seeking something a little more gourmet and a little less greasy, look no further than La Copine, a brunch truck situated on the patio of its sit-down restaurant sister of the same name. Entering the Northern Liberties restaurant’s colorful patio filled with an eclectic mix of mismatched chairs and tables can transport you to a serene alcove far from the daily bump and grind. Take your breakfast on the go, or sit and relax for a Sunday brunch with friends outdoors.

The truck offers a breakfast special ($10) consisting of a scrambled-egg sandwich on a whole-wheat English muffin with carmelized onions, sharp cheddar cheese and your choice of sausage or veggie sausage, as well as a side salad or hash browns and a drink. The veggie sausage is a blend of mushrooms, barley and oats with the same con-

If you’ve ever been afraid to try vegetarian dishes or eat from a food cart, a single forkful of food at vegetarian food cart Magic Carpet Foods will abolish both fears. A five-minute walk from the 34th Street and Market El train stop and a few feet away from Penn’s Perelman Quad, the cart’s mix of Middle Eastern cuisine with classic Greek staples provides customers with a bevy of colorful, bold flavors to choose from. Slip your friend that swears against tofu the Bella Donna ($4.25), a tofu “meatball” dish. Served with multigrain rice, a mix of veggies and a sprinkling of freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, the meatballs have a rich, hearty, even meaty flavor very reminiscent of a traditional beef stew or thick chili that remained moist and flavorful. The veggies and the rice maintained their individual flavors and crispness, never becoming soggy and overwhelmed by the sauce that accompanied the meatballs. Then there’s the Greek Pasta Salad ($4), served as a refreshing, light counterpart to the robust meatballs. It’s nothing that’ll knock your taste buds into the stratosphere of originality, but the pasta’s cooked perfectly, the tomatoes are ripe, sweet and juicy throughout, and the feta cheese isn’t overpowering. The Dervish Delight ($7.50) is served as a platter and includes hummus (with plenty of pita to share), falafel and tabouli served over a bed of romaine lettuce. The hummus was spectacular, far from containing that one-note flavor usually found

sistency as the sausage but with a spicier kick.

The side salad, made with quinoa and rainbow chard, nuts, cherries and a basil mustard vinaigrette, is a sweet, fresh and surprisingly well-matched companion to the eggs. For a more classic brunch, opt for the hash browns, which La Copine tops with a chipotle ketchup ... which is incredible. They have sweeter options, too. Imagine a PB&J— the way mom used to make. Now envision mom using homemade

banana bread instead of Wonder. To. Die. For. As for the drink, I recommend their daily brewed iced tea; I ordered the hibiscus and mint blend, which was the perfect cold refreshment for the steamy afternoon—also good for hangovers. And don’t feel guilty if you need a refill—it’s only a buck! The two gals who work the truck are friendly and provide fast service, which is truly a one-two punch in the mobile-meal line of work. Check out the truck’s Twitter, @philacopine, for menu updates. (A.S.)

Sugar Philly

Mon., Love Park; Tue.-Thurs., 38th and Walnut streets. sugarphillytruck.com In Philadelphia, the conundrum of what to have for lunch isn’t affected by location so much as it is by cuisine … and certainly not for the lack of it. From allAmerican to Vietnamese, lunch options are endless, but the variety often falls short when your sweet tooth starts screaming for attention. That’s where the rising trend of dessert trucks comes in. But forget the cookies and cupcakes, folks, I’m talkin’ about Sugar Philly. This cute blue truck is raising the bar with French macarons in a dozen flavors and other gourmet desserts like Pineapple Custard, Vanilla Crème Brulee and Crème Fraiche Cheesecake in the summer, and a winter menu with items such as the Spicy Mexican Layered Chocolate Cake and Peanut Panna Cotta. If you’re more of a water ice and Tastykake kind of person, you may be saying, “maca-who?” The French macaron shouldn’t be confused with macaroons, a coconut-based cookie. They are born the same way, with egg whites beaten to a stiff peak, but macarons take a more elegant form when finely ground almonds are folded in to create a paste that is then baked into rounds. Once cooled, the macaron is filled with buttercreams, jams or ganache and resembles a fancy, colorful Oreo. The chocolate ganache, blueberry lemon, milk and honey, tiramisu and dulce de leche macarons (2 for $3), were delicious and true to flavor. I was at first apprehensive about the blueberry lemon, but the two flavors blended surprisingly well to create a sweet and tangy taste perfect for summer. Be warned, though, as the fillings are very gooey and fresh, and can melt on a steaming day if not eaten immediately. Unfortunately, the Vanilla Crème Brulee ($5), didn’t tickle my fancy the same way. The custard was very thick and bland, and the hard caramel top tasted a bit like plastic. Still, you need a French cookie now and then to sweeten up your day. (A.S.)

That’s Hot!

dam Brody, creator and cohost of “That’s Hot!,” says, “I’ve always wanted to do a show with women of different generations, backgrounds and views: a working mother; a professional in her 30s; a young woman just starting out; and then somebody who’s done almost everything and will say almost anything.” That’s actually a Barbara Walters quote describing The View, but Brody shares her sentiments entirely. In their inaugural show, the ladies of “That’s Hot” will discuss tough topics, crude gossip, share hot tips on beauty, health and wellness, and meet fascinating guests. Brody, a producer and performer who has created two Fringe Musicals (Desert of Hallways and i love you), fronted music group the Great Swamp, and came in second place for three consecutive years in the Miss West Philly Fabulous pageant, knows how to put on a show. emma

Python Fest King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table are back for the second annual Monty Python Fest. Doylestown’s County Theater is serving up the 1975 classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail with plenty of stinky Frenchmen, the “Ni”-saying Knights, senseless songs and one backfiring Trojan Rabbit to make for some laugh-out-loud comedy. The British troupe’s cult classic comes with plenty of side dishes, too—the theater will also screen some of the Python’s various sketches and host Monty Python-themed trivia with opportunities to win prizes. Purchase the special Knight of the Round Table ticket for your very own “horse” the winning t-shirt from the theater’s design contest held in June. alexiS SacHdev 7pm. $7.75-$15.

Kid Cudi All right, let’s just put it out there right now: Kid Cudi will never be taken seriously until he stops wearing skinny jeans! We don’t know about you, but the sight of skinny jeans on a black man appalls us more than baggy jeans falling off a dude’s ass. (We’ll let you off the hook this time, Drake!) Yes, this makes us seem kind of shallow, especially when you consider that Cudi is one of the few young MCs out there making fascinating, subversive musical moves and we should, you know, praise and respect him for that. The two Man on the Moon volumes he’s dropped on GOOD Music (founded by fellow hip-hop provocateur and skinny-jeans wearer Kanye West) are bold, conceptual efforts that have Cudi merging everything from hip-hop to trip-hop to psychedelic rock and collaborating with artists as diverse as Mary J. Blige and MGMT. So, while we would love to give Cudi props for his musical daring (and for allegedly hooking up with Amanda Bynes), until he takes off those tight-ass, sack-suffocating, disgustingly overpriced jeans, we just ain’t having it! cRaig

Author and poet Sapphire’s novel Push took us deep into the dark world of Claireece “Precious” Jones, an obese, illiterate Harlem

teen. Precious’ disturbing yet deeply affecting tale of hope in the face of indigence and abuse became widely known with the breakout motion picture Precious. But the story of Precious didn’t end with the rolling of the credits. Sapphire is coming to the Free Library to introduce her newest novel, The Kid, which continues the saga of Precious by chronicling the coming-of-age of her son, Abdul. The story follows Abdul, an aspiring artist, and his travails navigating through the concrete jungle of New York City. Sapphire will be available for a Q&A after the discussion and book signing.

Broetry SLAM The typical poetry slam usually includes writers and artists spewing lines about love, politics and somber topics that make listeners want to kick cats. However, Geekadelphia and Quirk Books have teamed up to present something a little different: a broetry slam. Not your average poetry slam, this event will feature bros reading about the things that truly matter to them, like hot girls, pizza, video games and Star Wars.

The idea is the same as any other poetry slam in that members of the audience will get a chance to come onstage and share their poems. A panel of experts including local comic Doogie Horner, author Brian McGackin and editor Jason Rekulak will select winners and award them with food, Xbox Live points, books and a number of

Lightninging Lightninging—funny sounding name and one of Philly’s best-kept secrets. Ranging from earnest to jubilant, the quintet’s sprawling guitars and rich harmonies have deservedly earned a raucous and loyal fan base. Drummer Greg Foran anchors the band, and vocals are swapped/shared by Mark Cruttenden, Greg O’Neill, Dave Pope and Matt Williams. They also swap instruments—three guitars, a bass, a trumpet and added percussion. Chances are they will begin their set with “Peggy Jean,” a crowd pleasing gem which stalks the listener during its verse, then ruptures into an anathematic, sing-a-long chorus of consecutive, repetitive “ya ya yas.” “Words over Africa” genuinely brings it home with cathartic vocals and crashing cymbals, while “Squiggles” displays pensive and wistful lyrics on top of cautious yet open melodies. This secret won’t be a secret for long. Ben RoSenau 9pm. $10. With the New Connection + Sping Standards. North Star Bar, 2639 Poplar St. 215.787.0488. northstarbar.com

It’s fitting that this benefit for the upcoming Phreak N’ Queer festival takes place in a funky venue that’s been host to everything from minstrel shows and vaudeville to indie rock. Organizer Messapotamia Lefae envisions a groovy, libidinous energy of her own for this dance party-cum-variety show, which takes place in the Balcony. The first-time producer promises one part punk DIY and two parts full-on freak, with a sprinkling of glitter. She’s assembled a stellar lineup including cabaret singer Brendan Norton, burlesque star Miss Mary Wanna (on roller skates, no less), and innovative drag by Lance Pawling. Local icon Carlotta Tendant will be on hand to give her blessing to this new generation of feisty queer artists, and there’ll be plenty of tunes courtesy of DJs evil v and Triptonik. Throughout, performers will mix and mingle with the audience, which should be as fabulous as the beautiful creatures on stage. One final word about the ticket price: It’s not cheap; it’s a deliberate political choice. RAYMOND SIMON 9pm. $5. Trocadero Theatre, 1003 Arch Street.

The goal of the marketplace is not only to offer unique wares and tasty vittles for sale, but to promote self-reliance and summon the dormant entrepreneurial spirit in some of us. The hope is for more and more people make the leap from consumer to businessperson by one day becoming a vendor and ultimately building a stronger community. While shopping and networking, there will be free arts and crafts for the young’ins. All proceeds will go toward funding for the annual African Independence Day Ma’at.

Wild Nothing + Twin Sister Sick of all the fuzzy-buzzy, twee-goes-to-thebeach music that’s been making the indie kids go gaga? Then stay away from Johnny Brenda’s tonight. Don’t even go downstairs for a quick Kenzinger. But if you love your pop woozy with a dash of melancholy, this is the double-bill you’ve been waiting for. A featured band on Weathervane and WXPN’s “Shaking Through” series last year, Twin Sister’s a five-piece from Long Island. No proper LP yet, but their new label, Domino, will deliver one this year.

Headliner Wild Nothing’s super-dreamy debut, Gemini, came out last year on Captured Tracks.

The video for “Chinatown” showed old film images of a cute little boy looking for his lost dog. It’ll make your heart go boom boom boom.

Global Fusion Fest In case you haven’t been keeping up with Census data, Philadelphia is more multi-culti than ever. While a healthy stroll through West Philly can give you tastes of our myriad ethnic traditions in the most organic, street-level way possible, there’s no harm in celebrating Philly’s official Global Fusion Festival Week,.

The carnival-themed festivities kick off Monday with music and eats at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Throughout the week, there’ll be salsa dancing at Reef Caribbean Lounge, discount tickets available for Miss Saigon at the Walnut Street Theater, and zydeco music at Penn, among other events, and your favorite ethnic restaurants might be among the many offering specials.

The highlight of it all promises to be an all-day fest on Sat., July 16, at Penn’s Landing with a concert headlined by British R&B singer Estelle that’ll also feature performances by Melanie Fiona and Anthony David, plus tons of vendors.

Even if you don’t believe in ghosts, we’ve all seen something that just didn’t make sense at one point or another. There are plenty of ghost-hunting shows and movies dedicated to the phenomenon; there’s definitely entertainment, and a little bit of excitement, in the possibilities. Here’s your chance to be a part of that action, whether you truly believe or are a hopeless skeptic, by joining Free Spirit Paranormal Investigators as they reveal their findings of an investigation of the Lauren Hill Cemetery. The cemetery, which was founded in 1835, is a historic part of Philadelphia and holds the graves of numerous prominent people, from local leaders like Rittenhouse and Widener to national historic heroes such as Civil War-era generals and even Titanic passengers. With all these souls in one cemetery together, the members of the FSPI sought to uncover the haunted side of all this history and are sharing their revealing investigations. Explore the cemetery’s “most active sections” while learning about types of hauntings, electromagnetic fields and psychic protection, which is always a useful skill.

insideOUT recognize same-sex couples. It becomes harder and harder for us to be this outlier in the Northeast.”

In the meantime, there’s another bill in the state House awaiting committee action: HB 708, introduced by Philly Rep. Mark Cohen, (D-202), which would allow for civil unions.

Ted Martin, executive director of the gay advocacy group Equality Pennsylvania, married his partner of more than 10 years in California in 2008 and says the fact that his nuptials aren’t recognized in Pennsylvania is troubling.

“There’s no legitimate basis, there’s no founding basis— other than the genders are different—to deny people that basic right,” Martin says. “All we’re asking for is to be recognized by the state.”

Of those states that have legalized either gay marriage or civil unions, Martin says, “The world has not ended.

They have their ceremony and they just go on living.” In a recent press release responding to Metcalfe’s attempt

"Across the country ... people are beginning to realize that allowing same-sex couples to marry does not end the world."

Queer as Joke

Pennsylvania is at an embarrassing standstill on gay marriage.

As the list of states legalizing gay marriage continues to grow—it’s currently legal for same-sex couples to marry in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York (which passed its legislation on June 24), D.C. and Vermont—Pennsylvania is stuck in a gay-rights legislative battle.

In one corner, House Bill 1434, introduced May 2 by Butler County Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, would amend the state constitution to define marriage as an act between one man and one woman. “The institution of traditional marriage has never been under greater attack,” warned Metcalfe in a news release announcing his legislation. The bill currently sits in committee, though a proposal outlawing gay marriage already failed once.

On the other side of the ropes sits Senate Bill 461, a gaymarriage bill sponsored back in February by state Sen.

Daylin Leach, (D-17). “The current state of the law is a state of inequality,” says Leach, whose aim is to bring Pennsylvania in line with the other more progressive states. “It’s time to begin that conversation here.”

Leach predicts that New York’s legalizing of same-sex marriage will have a major impact on how things progress in other states from this point forward. “I think New York will be that tipping point,” he says. “They [other states] will see the one thing that happens when same sex marriage is legalized, which is nothing. There will be no adverse impact on straight couples. The only thing that will happen is that gay people will be happier and more financially secure and better able to raise their families.”

As for Pennsylvania, Leach says it’s a case of “wait and see.” He notes that Pennsylvania can’t hold out forever.

“We’re effectively going to be surrounded by states that

to solidify heterosexual marriage as the only legal form of matrimony in Pennsylvania, Martin cites stats indicating that Pennsylvanians probably wouldn’t be that opposed to gay marriage. “An overwhelming 63 percent think gay couples should have all the legal rights that married heterosexual couples do,” Martin writes.

Indeed, an April 2011 poll by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling found that 33 percent of Pennsylvania voters believe gay couples should be allowed to enter into civil unions, while another 30 percent support full marriage equality. “I think in general, across the country … people are beginning to realize that allowing same-sex couples to marry does not end the world,” says Martin.

Chris Gatesman and Peter Holtz, a gay couple from Mechanicsburg, Pa., who have been together for 28 years, are disenchanted beyond belief about Pennsylvania’s lack of progression on same-sex marriage. They recently attended their 31-year-old daughter’s wedding, (she is Gatesman’s biological offspring), but can’t have a wedding of their own despite having been together for nearly three decades. “For so many Americans, it’s not really an option,” Gatesman says of gay marriage.

Still, he holds out hope that things will change. “My general feeling is pretty optimistic,” he says, adding that when he and his partner first got together, “it wasn’t even anywhere on our radar to think that we could get married.

It was very different back then. Now, I’m amazed where we are and the conversations that are happening in our country.”

On the other end of the spectrum, there’s Adrian Shanker and Brandon Pariser. They’re young, 24 to be exact, and have only been together two years. But the two Lehigh Valley men are equally impassioned about the prospect of someday being allowed to marry. “It is a civil-rights issue,” Shanker says. “We already have the ability to love who we want to love. That’s not up for discussion.”

The two support any movement toward equality, although they would prefer to see a marriage bill as opposed to civil unions. “We’ve already seen separate but equal in this country,” Shanker said. “We’ve seen how it doesn’t work.” n

Cafe Soho on out-there Cheltenham Avenue has been the recipient of serious love lately, some well-earned attention.

Blind faith: Adam Jacono's "Praise" captures all forms of religious devotion.

In a perverse swing of the historical pendulum, juried shows have gone from a high-falutin’ French club of conservative taste to an expo of democratically accumulated and thoughtfully considered art.

Vox VII, Vox Populi’s seventh annual juried show, is a good example of the latter.

“Juried shows are a chance for the artist—any artist—to put his or her work out there to be seen, if only by a few interested professionals,” says Vox VII juror Melissa Ho, an “interested professional” who’s assistant curator at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. She’s joined by juror Hennessy Youngman, perennial

Vox VII Opening reception Fri., July 8, 6-11pm; Exhibition through July 31.

Vox Populi, 319 N. 11th St., third floor. voxpopuligallery.org YouTube favorite and alter-ego character of Philly-based performance artist Jayson Musson. Together, Ho and Youngman have waded through the mayhem of an opensubmissions process and emerged on the other side with an exhibition that finds cohesion among its varied parts.

The pieces in Vox VII gel loosely around themes of the urban experience and the relationship between time and movement.

Appropriately vague for a juried show of randomly submitted work, these themes are secondary to the singular visions that fall beneath their canopy. Indifferent to trends, Ho says she responded to work “when there was a strong individual voice

coming through.” This voice, as it turns out, often speaks with a familiar mid-Atlantic rumble. While the call for artists was circulated internationally, the local ties in the show run deep. Eight selected artists are graduates of Penn’s MFA program (including Youngman), while Ho was a Vox member artist herself at one time.

The standard practice of inviting highprofile guests to jury can sometimes feel like a phoned-in celebrity appearance, but at Vox, guest jurors lend exciting twists to the content of the show. Known for his arrestingly honest and uproariously funny informational broadcasts on the practical uses of art-world lingo, Musson—acting as “Hennessy Youngman”—is likely to spice up the jurying process with his antics.

Suggs is hopeful that Youngman will opt for “rewarding content and purpose over pretension”; aka “cutting through the bullshit.” Youngman’s direct approach rings true for artist Adam Jacono, who says, “Vox VII did it right with the jurors, and I think Hennessy speaks for a lot of the younger generation artists included here.”

Like Youngman, Jacono also plies subcultures with a critical eye; his black-andwhite pigment print, “Praise,” captures the devoted in different states of worship— many of whom were no doubt surprised when the forecasted Rapture called in a rain check this past May. As in much of his work, the photo collage is laced with the idea of being sick of consumer culture, hinted at here by the Megachurch mantra that faith returns in riches. Jacono’s image is a patchwork of snapshots sutured together to form a pulsing sea of raised arms and upturned faces that bear more than a passing resemblance to brokers on the floor of the stock exchange.

In contrast, any movement in Ashlee Ferlito’s large-scale painting is frozen and painted over. With its suggestive title, the fringe of color that peaks out the top of “Beautiful Letdown” breeds fantasies of an aborted Morris Louis, the signature veils of color blunted with Ferlito’s no less expressive white. Like much of the work in the show, her painting also flirts with other mediums. Like a printed proof, Ferlito’s vivid strip recalls the color tabs that edge a designer’s mock-up. Her painting reads like the spectral index for an image we will never fully see, an apt metaphor for a show whose many voices converge momentarily at Vox before returning to the logic of their separate conversations. n

Six Comedies About Murderers

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com

Arsenic and Old Lace (1944): Playwright Joseph Kesserling initially conceived his 1941 Broadway hit—likely inspired by a real-life Connecticut biddy who poisoned boarders for their pensions—as a heavy drama. Luckily, he realized it would fare better as a manic comedy. Although a high mark for neither director Frank Capra nor star Cary Grant, the film version is at least faithfully dark, with two adorable geriatric murders and Raymond Massey, so menacing it’s possible he never realized he was in a comedy.

Monsieur Verdoux (1947): Charles Chaplin cracked jokes about immigration (The Immigrant ), the Depression (Modern Times) and Hitler (The Great Dictator ). It was only natural he would make a light souffle about a serial killer. Chaplin’s anti-hero is the most charming of psychopaths, an elegant gentleman who spends the film offing wealthy widows, but only to support his children and crippled wife. But Chaplin had finally gone too far: It was his first major bomb and an inevitable cult item.

Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949): Though they produced films in many genres, Britain’s Ealing Studios are primarily remembered for the wonderfully mordant comedies they made with Alec Guinness. Here, an amoral schemer (Dennis Price) hoping to inherit a dukedom murders the eight people standing in his way, all played by Guinness (including a feisty Suffragette). Later came The Ladykillers (1956), in which a gaggle of thieves try and fail to murder a granny.

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997): The post-Tarantino wave produced piles of dreck, but they also birthed George Armitage’s sharp rom-com, in which the lovelorn hero (John Cusack, rarely better) is also a paid assassin who can kill with a pen.

The newly empowered Lance Corona, now clad in a nevernot-funny array of hipster scarves and skinny jeans, doesn’t waste much time wallowing in his monetary nightmare.

After taking a job as a line cook at a local breakfast joint, Larry excels at Economics 101 (taught by the always wonderful George Takei) and even figures out how to stick it to those nasty bank people (Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson) by strategically defaulting on his mortgage.

I’m still not exactly sure how turning in your house keys can be played as a moment of triumph, but Hanks sells it with a top-spin of Jimmy Stewart sass, and the wall-to-wall Tom Petty and ELO songs on the soundtrack keep bolstering the upbeat mood.

And then there is Roberts. Boozy, angry and drifting Star crossed: Julia Roberts is a drunk professor; Tom Hanks is a through classes in a contemptuous fog, her Mercedes Tainot broke but lovable manager trying to reinvent himself.

The comedy blogosphere has been rumbling recently about late-night standup comedy spots and how they’re not the career changers they once were. As someone who was just on Fallon (awesome job, by the way) how do you see it? Is there an “I’ve made it” moment anymore? Or do you even see your career in that way?

Hahaha. “The Comedy blogosphere.” (AKA 10 guys living in their parents’ basements who watch standup when they’re not writing sci-fi erotica.) I think they’re right and wrong. This year’s been great for me in the sense that, a year and a half ago, I had no manager, agent, TV credit, no staff-writing credit. Then I got a role on the Electric Company on PBS and quit my overnight security job and afterward things slowly started to happen.

Fallon was awesome and this has been a really fun year, but it’s not like I’ve made it forever. I’m making a living now through writing or standup so that’s “making it” enough for me. Having said that, there’s no “one way” to get over anymore. It’s not like when there was Sullivan and Carson and

Ever inadvertently stumble upon something exceptional before everyone else and think of yourself as a pioneer on the cusp of the cutting edge? Like that time you happened to catch Destiny’s Child open for Das EFX at an early ’90s Juneteenth concert in Houston, or that time you totallllly saw Reservoir Dogs, like, six months before anyone was even talking about it? Of course you have. Because you’re a fucking trailblazer, friend—a true blue, born-andbred trendsetting LEADER OF MEN. You are Simon Cowell. You know talent when you see it. You can spot the X Factor.

Which is why there’s no way on God’s green earth you’re going to be anywhere but at Connie’s Ric Rac when comedian Dan St. Germain makes his way to town this week, drawn to it you will be like a bee to pollen or a racist to the comments section of Philly.com.

Germain jumped the river of his thenhome of Jersey to new-home New York City in 2006, and has already made quite a name for himself on the comedy circuit there. He was just on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and has written for the Onion Sports and News Networks. He was a Best Emerging Comic nominee at the ECNY (Excellence in Comedy New York) in 2009 and a finalist for ECNY Best Male Standup in 2010. He also has other resume bullet points we could list for you to skim over, but we won’t. (We lied, here’s one more: shoutout to that semi-finalist nod at Boston Comedy Festival, y’all!)

>> continued from previous page

you get on and you’re a household name, or at least set for a while. Instead of “make it” moments, it’s more about working consistently. That’s making it. I’ve been on six different TV shows this year, but I could be back doing temp work in a couple months. You can’t tell your landlord, “But I had a lot of buzz around me four months ago!” All of this “career talk” gets in the way of doing great work. Cause what’s the point of having a “make it” moment? Do you settle down and just make serious documentaries or something? Did [Louis] CK stop being funny after he got an Emmy on The Chris Rock Show? Naw, he keeps going because he loves it and he’s the best in the world.

Did your dad being a writer have any influence on you growing up? He wrote for The Cosby Show, didn’t he?

My dad definitely had a lot of influence. I’ve always been better at writing dialogue, and jokes within dialogue, then just straight joke jokes. That’s from watching and reading so many plays and having a lot of really great things to read and watch around the house.

Did you ever meet Tempestt Bledsoe? Have any good stories about your dad being in that world?

My dad actually had an affair with Lisa Bonet for years after the show was done. It destroyed my family. He did tell me a few stories. The head writer saw my dad’s play and asked him to write an episode. He got on set, and saw that they had added a scene to his script, so he asked, “Why did you change what I wrote?” And they were like, “It’s not called the True to Each Writer’s Artistic Vision Show. It’s called The Cosby Show and Cosby wanted to do a scene with a seal.”

Most people probably know you more for your standup than your writing. Do you prefer one over the other? What do you want to be known as? Does it matter?

I’ve made my living primarily as a writer. Late-night appearances and panel and standup pay, but it’s not consistent.

Not surprised [people] see me as a standup. No one sees me writing around town, and if they did, that would be the worst performance art ever. Most comedians make their living doing both. It’s nice to be known at all.

You once said you don’t give a shit about money or fame.

Does that still hold true? You’ve been nominated for tons of comedy awards. Does recognition in the industry matter to you?

Hahaha. I was in one of my Basquiat phases when I said that. Maybe not fame, but I’ll be out of a job in three weeks so money’s a different story. Hey, it’s nice to be nominated for anything as long as it’s not ‘Most likely to stalk and kill Obama’s kids” or something. I’m a comedian so industry liking me is important. You know what else is important?

Everyone else liking me.

Who are your favorite comedians right now? Who do you look up to?

[Louis] CK, [Patton] Oswalt, [Marc] Maron, Patrice [O’Neal], Pete Holmes, Kumail [Nanjiani], [Kyle] Kinane, [Eugene] Mirman.

Adweek recently ran an article about comedians being hired to make ads (videos), which is happening more and more often. How do you feel about taking jobs for advertisers? Are you morally opposed, like a Bill Hicks, or is it just another paying job?

I really think it depends on the product. One second, I’m just going to take a sip of this refreshing MOUNTAIN DEW I’ve been drinking.

Your comedy is very honest, particularly in regard to your being a recovering alcoholic. Do you find that the best comedy comes from a dark place?

Funny’s funny—if it’s dark or if it’s Newhart talking about King Kong walking up the Empire State Building. For every bit I’ve got about trying to buy crack, I’ve got four about The Dark Knight and Ultimate Fighting.

Pat’s or Geno’s?

The Waiting Wolf (Dusty Pockets) Sounds Like: Philly’s own Stoupe, of

Bill Callahan ill Callahan began as Smog when Sewn to the Sky (1990) awoke the lo-fi spirit bands like Times New Viking B would revisit 15 years later. But by Smog’s 11th album, A River Ain’t Too Much (2005), the murky recordings had evolved into a distinct, eloquent neo-Americana vision. Abandoning the Smog moniker in 2007, he has since delivered three albums built on ascetic instrumentation, his deep, Leonard Cohen-esque voice, and some of the most compelling songwriting of the last 20 years. On Apocalypse (2011), he brushes aside cobwebs to confront the ghost-ridden corridors of the American psyche head-on. The acoustic instruments encounter a twangy, overdriven electric guitar on the tempo-shifting “Baby’s Breath,” where the protagonist’s wisdom comes too late: “She was not a weed, she was a flower.” Callahan’s vision isn’t completely tragic, though; like the best American writers, it’s brimming with humor and elusive pathways toward redemption. (Elliott Sharp) Sat., July 9, 9pm. $14. With Hidden Ritual. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave. 215.739.9684. johnnybrendas.com

England Keep My Bones (Epitaph) Sounds Like: Former Million Dead

SavageLove

By Dan Savage mail@savagelove.net

Three months ago, I met a woman who I’m really into physically, emotionally and mentally. She’s someone I could see myself with. Problem is, when we started having sex, she insisted on a condom for birth control.

I haven’t worn one in probably eight or nine years. (I’m 33 now.) I would be hard, then put on the condom and start having sex, and go limp because of the feel. This happened many times over the first couple months, leading to frustration on both our parts. She went on the pill a couple weeks ago to deal with the issue, but now I’ve got a mental issue going on and still go limp once we start having sex. As soon as I get inside her, it’s all I think about and things turn to shit. I feel like it’s not a physical problem, as it hasn’t happened before, so I’m not sure that drugs would even work. I don’t know what to do. It’s at the point of ruining this relationship.

Futile Limp-Ass Cock Is Dreadful

Before I get to your question, FLACID, I wanna pull rank—it’s my column, people—and briefly mention the staggeringly amazing thing that happened two weekends ago while I was in New York: the 8 p.m. performance of The Book of Mormon at the Eugene O’Neill Theater on the Saturday of Pride weekend. I didn’t think it was possible, but Trey Parker, Robert Lopez and Matt Stone’s brilliant new musical about well-intentioned Mormons on a mission exceeds the hype. It’s the funniest, dirtiest, smartest thing that this showqueen has ever seen on Broadway.

Yeah, yeah, something else happened in New York while I was in town: A bill legalizing samesex marriage was approved by the state legislature, and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the night before we saw The Book of Mormon. And, hey, being in New York for the marriage-equality victory was nice. It was great. But The Book of Mormon— holy shit!

Okay, FLACID, if your dick goes limp once you put it inside her, stop putting it inside her. Just for now. Have oral sex, masturbate together, have lots of imaginative, nonpenetrative sex, all the while paying careful attention to her vulva, clit, orgasms, etc. A few dozen successful, low-stress sexual encounters with your girlfriend should help break the association your dick has made with her and failure. Good luck.

*I’m not saying that a man who visits a sex worker is automatically going to get a sexually transmitted infection; a good sex worker is typically more thoughtful about sexual safety than your average freebie slut. But outside sexual contact is outside sexual contact. Whomever it involves, it involves risk for the insider back at home, and it should be disclosed and discussed in advance. **I’m not calling MTF sex workers “things.” I’m calling their things things. n

The snooping-is-wrong absolutists will shit themselves if “snooping is wrong” doesn’t appear somewhere in this response. So here it is, gang, right at the top. Heck, I’ll toss it out again—“snooping is wrong”—even though I disagree. No long-term relationship is snoop-free, just as no long-term relationship is lie-free, porn-free or thinking-aboutfucking-someone-else-while-I’m-fucking-you free.

And when a little snooping uncovers something like this, well, it’s retroactively self-justifying.

On to your question, WBNE: Your ex’s secret search is the betrayal that you think it is. No question. Cheating is cheating, and the kind of cheating your ex was engaged in or contemplating amounts to a Very Serious Betrayal. He put you at risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted infection*, assuming he saw a sex worker, or he was thinking about putting you at risk, assuming he was about to. And it was all so unnecessary: He had a GGG girlfriend who he could’ve opened up to about his secret kink. He could’ve negotiated a deal that allowed him to explore this without betraying you or putting you at risk. But he didn’t ask for permission because he was deeply ashamed, first, and terrified of losing you, second. And now he’s really got something to be ashamed of—the lying and sneaking around—and he’s lost you. Unless …

Unless you can find it in your heart to forgive him.

His kink cards are face up on the table now; you know his deepest, darkest sexual fantasies, and, more importantly, he knows you know. Yes, he betrayed you, but forgiveness is meaningless if it’s limited to trifles and never comes after a Very Serious Betrayal. If his kink is something you would’ve signed off on had he gone about things differently, perhaps you could take him back on the condition that he go about things—finding things, sucking things, getting fucked by things**—very, very differently from now on.

Same-sex marriage is legal in New York, DOMA, not compulsory. But instead of telling your partner that you don’t want to marry her, or anyone else, ever, tell her you need time. This freedom is

I’ve just ended a four-year relationship with a great man who didn’t lay his kink cards on the table until way too late. He’s your typical straight guy with a she-male fetish. Apparently, the dom pegging I provided wasn’t enough, because I found a secret email account where he was soliciting she-male escorts. I’m genuinely more pissed that he didn’t tell me he wanted to explore this—real cock—and didn’t give me the opportunity to make his fantasy fit into our life together. I can’t tell if any of these escorts ever met with him, and in usual hetero-male fashion, he is mortified that I know about his darkest cock-fetish secret at all. So my question is this: As a GGG girlfriend who would honor just about any fantasy, is this secret search for a stranger the betrayal I think it is? I get it that our play isn’t the same as the real thing, but isn’t cheating cheating?

Willing But Not Enough



Yay, we won gay marriage in New York. I’m so happy, I could cry. But not tears of joy. Here’s the deal: I support gay marriage. I’m a freakin’ lesbian. I’ve been with my partner for 10 years.

We live together. We’re the proud parents of the two cutest dogs ever. We suffer through each other’s families and we’re treated as a married couple for all intents and purposes by everyone in our lives. I’ve made passionate speeches to friends and family members about the importance of gay marriage. So in 30 days, we can get married in New York. Everyone will expect us to get married. But I don’t want to.

I’m happy in my relationship, I have no plans to leave, but I don’t want to be married. I think part of the strength of our relationship comes from being together because we want to in the moment, not because we promised to in a moment that has long passed. How do I tell my partner and everyone else that I love her with all my heart but don’t want to marry her? Or anyone else, ever?

Defense Of Marriagephobic Asshole

new, hard won and not going anywhere. There’s no rush to commit to committing, DOMA, and no rush to commit to never committing. And you might want to ask your girlfriend how she feels. If she hasn’t been dropping hints, picking out china, or proposing, it’s possible that she feels just as conflicted or ambivalent about marriage as you do.
