winter season. Then one day back in 2003 it finally sank in that the music was unlistenable without said substances. I also love how worked up commenters get. It’s probably the bass player that comments as “the Disco Biscuits.” He thinks they are like onto the next big thing and that they discover acts. They think they are bringing Diplo and Major Lazer to “the people” ... um, welcome to 2008 fellas.

Regarding a recent cover headline:

LOWEST PRICE OF THE YEAR!

Congratulations on finally scraping the bottom of the garbage barrel of journalism! “BIG FUCKING MISTAKE”: Big celebration in the ghetto. Sounds like language that might be taught in a journalism class at a prestigious university. Could this be the same type of language used among your staff at PW? I counted approximately 20 women on your staff. Being as you have now hit bottom, here are two more cultural pieces of filth you may feel fit to express in future editions of PW: MOTHA FUCKHA, COCK SUCKHA.

Please do not come to Camp Bisco. You are such a panzy if you think Camp is sketchy compared to all the other festivals out there. You mentioned going with friends this year? What do you have two, three friends? Stay home and be a tool and leave Camp Bisco to those who know what they are doing and have the time of their life every year there. Please stop writing these horrible articles with your horrible perspective.

As someone who has performed at Camp Bisco in the past, I would just like to thank you for writing such hilarious articles about this debacle for two consecutive years. After last year’s article, I was a bit worried that you wouldn’t be able to top/equal your previous entry, but this one is even better! I thank you for not, in any way, portraying this chemical fest as anything any of the band members, particularly Marc “If You Don’t Like My Band then You’re a Prick” Brownstein, would like. They seem to think they are throwing a family/eco-friendly get together in beautiful upstate N.Y., when they are really stretching the boundaries of Lord of the Flies gatherings here in the States. Keep up the good work, and God speed! LEON SONKIN

The Great Weed Debate

Legalize it. Prohibition is more dangerous than you think. Keep it on the streets. I’ll take my chances with the game. By Dan McQuade feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY July 14-20, 2010 •

It’s Christmas Eve and I want some pot brownies. Problem is, my dealer got pulled over last night for speeding. The cops found his bowl in the center console. Dumbass. Now what? Well, I’m out of pot and I got no connections. Shit. I sigh. This is going to be a long Christmas. Weed smokers are being cited, arrested, locked up. And for what? Something that grows naturally in the earth? Marijuana prohibition needs to end. Now. In the onslaught of the War on Drugs in the ’80s and ’90s, marijuana legalization was a pipe dream. In fact, anti-marijuana rhetoric has been the most visible drug policy issue in the U.S. since Ronald Reagan. It was only 12 years ago the United Nations held a conference calling for a drug-free world by 2008. Now, though, it’s closer than it has been since the 1970s. California—whose medical program is almost de facto legalization for many—will hold a referendum in November on whether to fully allow it. Smokers, unite. The end of marijuana prohibition has got to be on its way. Sure, it would be a complicated transition to a legal marijuana market, but just think of the benefits: No more drug corners. No more waiting. No more getting pinched for an eighth. No more guesswork. Just good old legal weed. Now let’s lecture you for a paragraph. Just because your drug of choice is definitely the most awesome—suck it, beer geeks—doesn’t mean you can go smoking it 24/7. You need to sleep. It’s not a good idea to wake-and-bake every day, either. Yes, one can smoke enough marijuana to ruin your life (or, at least, lose your job and girlfriend and get fat thanks to a too many days of pot, pizza and Law & Order marathons). Even if it can’t cause an overdose, one can smoke too much weed. Fortunately, “smoking too much weed” about the worst-case scenario for marijuana use. There’s no evidence it causes cancer, but marijuana smoke isn’t good for the lungs. Driving while high is a bad idea. Pretty much everything else marijuana is blamed for—brain damage and memory loss, crime, a gateway to more dangerous drugs, “amotivational syndrome”—has been debunked. (There’s a whole book on this: Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts.) So, yeah, weed can make you fat if you consume half the Wawa every time you smoke. Is this something we should be fighting a war on? Marijuana prohibition is far more

dangerous than marijuana. Weed dealers can’t settle their differences through the courts. The media calls it “drugrelated violence,” but in reality it’s drug prohibition-related violence. Sometimes innocents are caught in the crossfire. Far too frequently, people (or their pets) are killed by SWAT forces raiding a house where the police believe there is marijuana. It’s impossible to overdose and die on pot, but pot laws kill. In 2008, the most recent year data is available from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, police arrested 847,864 people for marijuana law violations; 89 percent of those arrests were for simple possession. No, most of those arrested do not go to prison. UCLA public policy professor Mark Kleiman estimates there are about 30,000 people behind bars for cannabis law violations. Some may not have sympathy for those killed in drug raids or the thousands arrested for weed. After all, they broke the law. But we have to be realistic. Cannabis is much less harmful than both our two primary legal drugs; hell, it’s much less harmful than speeding. These pointless arrests harm the lives of hundreds of thousands of otherwise law-abiding productive citizens. They have to suffer the experience and embarrassment of an arrest and possible criminal record. Some may lose federal funding because of a simple pot arrest. And for what? There are almost too many arguments against marijuana prohibition. It does tremendous collateral damage. It blocks people from a medicine that works wonders on certain debilitating ailments. It prevents farmers from planting industrial hemp. It festers a black market that allows marijuana to be sold in every high school in the country. It costs a ton. It doesn’t even really stop anyone from smoking pot. You’d have to be stoned out of your mind to want a system that has failed so spectacularly continue. And then, one day, we can maybe have a second drug celebration event in this town. It’s just a dream, but who wouldn’t enjoy Philly Weed Week? n

By Nina Sachdev nsachdev@philadelphiaweekly.com It’s Christmas Eve in Philadelphia and weed is legal. Problem is, I’ve got 20 minutes to get it. The state store is on holiday hours and I still need to pick up the egg nog. No biggie, I’ll just swing by Wawa on the way home. I check my watch. Shit. I sigh. This is gonna be a long Christmas. I pull up to the dispensary to what looks like a flash mob. It’s not. It’s the longest, most annoyed line of people I’ve ever seen. I panic. Please don’t be sold out. It’s Christmas! A worker announces that production has been reduced for the holiday season, and the G-13 is quickly running out. But I keep waiting because this is the only way to get weed now. The only other dispensary in the city has already been shut down. The operator is being charged in a kickback scheme. Typical Philly. Five minutes later, another announcement. No more weed until Dec. 26. The government is having a dry spell. Are you kidding me? A bunch of us bow our heads in defeat. Somebody lights up a joint but gets yelled at for smoking weed within 1,050 feet of the building. Feeling sorry for myself, I head to Wawa. I want Doritos. I think about how they used to be $2.99, but ever since the government legalized marijuana, the price has skyrocketed. Couldn’t the feds at least give out some coupons? If not for the weed, then for food? Whatever. I’m going to splurge. The Wawa is packed. I fight my way to the snack aisle. The Doritos are gone. You just can’t find any good snacks any more. Wonder Bread is back to its 1980 price of 50 cents. I throw it in my basket. I don’t even like white bread. But that’s all that’s ever left these days. Why the hell did I vote for this? Pot smokers, is this how you want to get high? You’re deluding yourself if you think this kind of stuff won’t happen. We’re talking about the U.S. govern-

ment. They are not to be trusted. If you really think legalizing marijuana is the answer, you’ve forgotten how good the game has been to you over the years. Harold and Kumar played the game once. It was epic. Harold and Kumar smoke their remaining weed after work and spend the whole night trying to a) get more weed and then b) get to a White Castle in New Jersey. Yet, despite all of their misadventures—Harold is bitten by a raccoon; Kumar ends up performing surgery on a gunshot victim—would they have done it differently if weed were legal? Fuck no. They didn’t call it Harold and Kumar Go to the Nearest Legal Weed Shop and Order Up a Couple Spliffs to Go for a reason. No. If you’re still not convinced, let’s look at some of the financial aspects of legalization. Class, raise your hand if you think pot smokers will go along with paying a sales tax for something you can grow in your basement. (You can get seeds mailed to you from Amsterdam in a CD case). Don’t think for one minute that the feds won’t raise that tax. (Unless you live in Delaware, where the shopping is tax-free.) As long as we are broke, they will. That’s what they do. They will tax us so much they will tax the high right out of us. Then, after they get our money, they’ll use some of it to fund programs aimed at counteracting that vice because, again, that’s what they do. Don’t believe me? Think cigarettes (that campaign has been going strong for years); gambling (the feds are allowed to tax your winnings at the highest rate possible); and fatty foods (that’s why they want you to eat at White Castle). The government will tax everything you do. So, just to recap: You want to pay the feds to smoke weed so that they can tell you to stop smoking weed. OK. Don’t get me wrong. The game has dry spells, too. Your dealer will run out; his dealer will run out; the Colombian cartel or whoever the fuck is above that guy will run out. But this—not taxes, not waiting in line—is the price worth paying. As I pull onto my street, I remember that I forgot the egg nog. Ugh. Just then, I pass a liquor store and slam on the brakes. Surprisingly, it’s open. This Christmas, I vow to always appreciate what I have. n

New Jersey’s environmental protectors dismiss impending tar balls. By Jacob Lambert feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

continued on page 10

July 14-20, 2010

Last week, while vacationing with my in-laws in Long Beach Island, I had the sense that something bad was coming. This feeling was brought on by recent comments made by Bob Martin, commissioner of New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection. In June testimony to Trenton’s Environment and Solid Waste Committee, Martin said: “In the worst-case scenario, remnants of the BP Deepwater Horizon spill would hit New Jersey in October or November.” Were this scenario—involving loop currents and severe weather—to take hold, “We would not see the kinds of muck we see in the Gulf right now. It will be tar balls and that’s it.” This discomfiting reassurance was followed by another: “The oil will not affect New Jersey this summer.” No word, I suppose, on next summer. If Martin intended to allay fears that the spill might creep up the coast, he did a pretty poor job. As often happens when telling people not to worry about a thing they hadn’t thought of, his statements had the opposite result. (One commenter on NJ.com, which covered the testimony says: “This will effect [sic] everyone!! ... I am sure he will eat his words.” Another: “WTF does this golf playing Wall Street turkey know about geology, petroleum mining, ocean currents, weather patterns or whatever??”) Worse than Martin’s stirring of the rabble, though, was his general blitheness. His “just tar balls” demeanor has become the unfortunate norm among those appointed to protect our air and water. From former EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson—who battled greenhouse gas regulation— to Pennsylvania DEP Secretary John Hanger—who might as well be drilling the Marcellus himself—our environmental advocates do not tend to actually advocate for the environment.

And Council definitely has one, if not many. This spring, Council and the RDA had it out over who would get the final say on approving developments. Council won, as they usually do in these kinds of things. The latest RDA battle is over land at 17th and Vine streets. Developer Stephen Klein bought the land in 1987 for $3.7 million and ostensibly had five years to build something, which he didn’t accomplish. Two decades later, the RDA decided enough was enough and moved to take back the parcel, but after all that time, Klein finally found a buyer: The Church of Latter Day Saints had signed up to build a $68 million temple, which was projected to create 300 construction jobs. The RDA relented and said it would allow the sale to go through if it could take 25 percent of the proceeds, an unprecedented demand considering the land had already been sold to Klein at fair-market value. Klein was confused. “It just doesn’t make any sense,” he says. “We’re sitting here in this time of dire economic need, there’s little or no construction going on in the city. I haven’t noticed any cranes, have you?” “We’re talking to the owner Stephen Klein and trying to see if we can work something out with him,” Gillen says. “It’s a project that the mayor wants to do and I’m confident it will get done.” Huh? The dispute has reached the point of incoherence. If everybody wants the Mormons in town so badly, just let them build the fucking temple. Results are what this city needs, and the 322 land parcels sold, a record-keeping overhaul and unfrozen NTI funds are a good start, if tenuous. Let’s keep it going. Forget the arguing and posturing and get more building done. n PW Archives

Executive Director Terry Gillen says the RDA has moved 322 parcels of land since January 2009, out of more than 3,400 available. Its progress is worth reporting, as incremental as it is. But all is not well with the agency these days. Even as Gillen’s regime labors to mop out the sludge left over from Mayor John Street’s administration, the twin plagues of bureaucratic gridlock and petty distraction threaten to drown the RDA’s reform efforts when they’re only just getting started. When Gillen was appointed to her position in June 2008, City Controller Alan Butkovitz started working on an audit of the Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI), a Street-era program that provided $87 million— split between the city and its 10 Councilmanic trickling back into the neighborhoods. districts—to acquire vacant land.

Trouble Ashore, from page 9 Martin prevaricated, Alan Blumberg, of the Stevens Institute of Technology, was warning that “tar balls still would be ‘disastrous’ for fish and birds that would try to consume them.” Bob Martin did not create the spill, but he is a symptom of its origin. Despite his title, his resume is heavy on energy consultation, light on ecological expertise. According to the Sierra Club’s New Jersey chapter, his agency’s current reorganization plan “is a specialinterest wish-list that not only undermines environmental protections, but pushes the developer and polluter agendas.” Bush’s administration teemed with Bob Martins; to a lesser degree, so does Obama’s. It’s the price we must pay, perhaps, for depending on environmental degradation to push our economy forward. But if our sole concern is economic, what about the toll that BP’s “remnants” would take on New Jersey’s coastal towns? Martin may remember that in the late ’80s—when the words “syringe” and “Jersey shore” became synonymous—tourists grew leery of beaches that were nowhere near waste sites; the reaction was disproportionate to the danger. In 1988, The New York Times ran a report that might echo in the near future: “The waste never reached [Long Beach Island], 40 miles from the beaches that closed for several days in July… State officials said

that tests showed that the water here was the cleanest it had been in years. But the crowds didn’t care… business owners here on the island face losses of 15 percent to 40 percent this year.” In other words, we don’t need to be waistdeep in sludge to stay away. A few clumps of crude—washing up in Cape May or Seaside, Belmar or Avalon—would have an outsized effect. Last month, Obama christened the BP spill “the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced.” But the pain has not yet spread; the hardship has been limited to those along the Gulf. In the rest of the country, we see the dying birds and read of vanished industry. We grimace and feel terrible—but then we move on, changing the channel or turning the page. Some of us, failing to make the connection, even go on to fill our cars with BP’s gas. Yet there is the chance, however remote, that New Jersey will have its own cleanup to attend to. The damage would be microscopic compared to what has happened in and around the Gulf—but there would be damage. And, as happened in 1988, perceptions of the shore would be colored. Not a catastrophe, maybe, but bad enough to matter. And if that happens, it will become that much harder to say, with a dismissive wave of the hand, that it was just a bunch of tar balls. n

The Loews Philadelphia Hotel was once a bank — The Philadelphia Savings Fund Society (PSFS) — commissioned in 1929. Designed by William Lescaze and George Howe, the 36-story building is an undisputed masterpiece in the history of American architecture. Many original details that still exist today, such as, the Cartier clocks (still in operation), the bank vault doors, safe and safety deposit boxes. The PSFS sign on the roof was the first of its kind. The red neon letters, 27 feet tall, were integrated into the buildings design and lit 24-hours a day. To this day, the sign remains lit and serves as a beacon in the Philadelphia skyline.

Chroni c Fatigu e Is the Christie administration trying to pull the plug on N.J.’s medical marijuana law?

July 14-20, 2010

Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and in short it is slow death brought on by the steady and methodical withering of the nerves that control your muscles. First, you can’t button your shirt. Then, you can’t walk and eventually, you can’t breathe. The cruelest irony is that the disease does not affect higher brain function, and so even at the very end, you are a fully present mind trapped in a lifeless body, a ghost in a dead machine. Upon diagnosis, most victims live three to ﬁve years. A small percentage live for up to 10 years, but only with the assistance of a ventilator, and few would call that living. There is no cure.

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

OF ALL THE SHITTY WAYS TO DIE, ALS is arguably the shittiest.

the Drug Policy Alliance joined the fight, and helped corral wider support from the medical community, including the New Jersey Palliative Care Association and the New Jersey Academy of Family Physicians. “The support of the medical community gives you credibility,” says Scotti. The Drug Policy Alliance also managed to get TV host Montel Williams, who suffers from MS and is a vocal proponent of medical marijuana, to join the cause. In 2005, state Sen. Nicholas Scutari reintroduced medical marijuana as a standalone bill. Though a Democrat, Scutari is hardly soft on drugs; after all he is a former prosecutor. But he says he saw the light when he learned of a friend with a terminal disease who moved out to California to take advantage of their medical marijuana law. In fact, the early version of Scutari’s bill was like California’s medical marijuana law. It would have allowed qualified patients to grow up to six plants for personal use—but in the intervening five years it became far more restrictive in the pursuit of bi-partisan support. Legislators were determined to avoid things turning out like the dreaded “wild, wild west,” a reference to both California, where until recently pot dispensaries outnumbered Starbucks, and Colorado, where 1,000 people a day are applying for medical marijuana. And pot dispensaries still outnumber Starbucks. Still, some proponents wonder if all the compromises went too far. “In our opinion, it was a much better bill [in 2005],” says Wolski. “It is what it is,” Scutari says. “I still think it’s a good piece of legislation that will allow sick people access to medical

marijuana. As for amending it [to loosen restrictions], we’ll see.” Other proponents of the law see it as a good ﬁrst step, a beachhead in hostile territory. “When people see that the sky has not fallen, we can revisit it and open it up more,” says Assemblyman Reed Gusciora, one of the law’s co-sponsors. “We got the best bill we could get passed, we believe it is a huge step forward that will provide a lot of sick people relief,” Scotti says. “Unfortunately it excludes a lot of people—people with chronic pain, people with post-traumatic stress disorder.” As it stands now, the Christie administration has until October to come up with the rules and regulations that will govern the manufacture and distribution of medical marijuana in New Jersey. Following that comes a 90-day period of public comment, which would take us into January 2011. Once the regulations are amended and approved, the state would begin registering patients and selecting operators for the six Alternative Treatment Centers called for in the law (exact locations are yet to be determined, but the law calls for two in North Jersey, two in Central Jersey and two in South Jersey, with more to be added if demand is proven to exceed supply).

asked for, and received from, the Legislature a 90-day extension for implementation. But Riportella, like many advocates for medical marijuana, worries that implementation of the law may be delayed indefinitely. “Any delay will engender more delay,” says Ken Wolski, executive director of the Coaltion For Medical Marijuana New Jersey. “My greatest fear is that this is the first of many delays.” All eyes are on Jersey, including lawmakers in Harrisburg, where the seeds of medical marijuana legislation have already been planted in committee. If and when New Jersey’s Compassionate Use law goes into effect, it will be the most restrictive in the land. The list of medical conditions that would qualify patients is exceedingly short and unrelentingly grim: Cancer, HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, seizure disorders such as epilepsy, Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, severe muscle spasms, inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn’s disease), or any terminal illness if a doctor has determined the patient will die within a year. Qualified patients will be restricted to two ounces per month (by comparison, Washington state allows patients up to 24 ounces every 60 days). Unlike all 13 of the other states that have passed medical marijuana laws, Garden State residents will not be allowed to grow their own. For the sick and cash-strapped, this is the law’s biggest bummer. “To allow patients to grow their own medical marijuana is such an advance in medical care, it allows patients to grow their own medicine for pennies,” says Wolski, who has been advocating for medical marijuana in New Jersey for 19 years. A retired nurse, Wolski used to work in the state Department of Corrections. Wolski said he first became aware of the gravity of the medical marijuana issue when he was vacationing in Amsterdam. There, he says he met an American expatriate from Kentucky who had served a year in prison for growing his own medical marijuana. The ex-pat was going blind from glaucoma and his doctor had advised him to try pot, which helped stem the onset of blindness. The authorities showed him no sympathy, throwing him in jail and seizing his farm. Shortly thereafter, Wolski took up the cause. The first victory came in 2002 when he persuaded the New Jersey State Nurses Association—which represents 35,000 registered nurses statewide—to sign on to a resolution in favor of medical marijuana. In 2004, medical marijuana was bundled into a needle-exchange bill, but the combination was too unpalatable for the bill ever to get out of committee. “Apparently, dealing with two drug issues at once made their head explode,” he says. Still, the winds of public opinion were already shifting. A 2002 poll conducted by Rutgers’ Eagleton Institute of Politics that year found that 82 percent of New Jersey residents supported passage of a medical marijuana law. Shortly thereafter,

The hardest part of enduring ALS— harder than the burning ass, the complete helplessness and the terrible return to infancy—is maintaining the will to live. That’s what marijuana did for Diane Riportella—it made her not want to die. “It alleviates the pain and it helps me eat because I have no appetite,” says 54-year-old Riportella, lying in her bed on the second floor of the upscale home she shares with her husband in one of the tonier Zip codes of Egg Harbor, N.J. “But more importantly, it puts a smile on my face and makes me at peace with all this,” she says, gesturing toward the vast array of pill bottles on her night stand and the tank of oxygen with the thick, white accordioned snake that connects it to the respirator mask she has removed to answer a reporter’s questions. “It makes me feel like I could live another day with this disease.” She asks her husband to sit her upright and frowns as she shows off her limp, withering limbs that hang off her body like wilted branches. It wasn’t always like this. Before she was diagnosed three years ago, Riportella used to be a fitness trainer at the gym where she met her husband, Paul, 13 years her junior. “Yeah, she’s kind of the original cougar,” he says with a smile. She ran marathons to raise money for leukemia and breast cancer research, raising nearly $200,000 over the years by her reckoning. She was always helping out others in need. She even cooked eggs for clean-up workers at Ground Zero after 9/11. Advancing the cause of medical marijuana will likely be her last fight. And she has fought hard. Riportella has been outspoken about her use of medical marijuana and testified before the New Jersey Legislature, along with other terminally ill advocates for medical marijuana, imploring lawmakers to pass the Compassionate Use Act, which former Gov. John Corzine signed into law Jan. 18 as one of his last official acts as governor. “That’s what turned the tide—the stories of patients,” says Roseanne Scotti, Director of the Drug Policy Alliance NJ, which advocates for a more rational and humane response to the drug issue, and which played a key role in recruiting terminally ill patients who were self-medicating with marijuana to testify before the Legislature. “You can get all the peer-reviewed scientific journals arguing about molecules and receptors, but that’s not nearly as persuasive as a person with MS standing in front of you telling how nothing worked until a doctor told them off-the-record to try marijuana and it brought them instant relief from their pain and suffering.” The law was scheduled to go into effect on the first day of July and if Corzine was still governor, almost everyone who has been involved in the passage of the law agrees, that timeline would have been met. But last fall, voters replaced Corzine with Republican Chris Christie, a former federal prosecutor. New Jersey’s Compassionate Use Act has been on the slow train to enactment ever since. Last month, the Christie administration

W W W. P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY. C O M P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY July 14-20, 2010 • 16

It would take the ATCs a few months to get up and running, and then to begin growing marijuana plants, which can take up to 120 days to mature. By that timeline, assuming there are no further delays, the earliest grievously ill patients like Diane Riportella could get access to medical marijuana without fear of arrest would be about a year from now; a lifetime for someone given just five years to live. “I was actually just in the hospital the other night with a lung cancer patient whose malignancy has spread to his brain and he wants to start using medical marijuana,” says Anne Davis, executive director of NORML NJ, a volunteer organization that supports medical marijuana laws. “He doesn’t have any more time. He is sick right now and he probably won’t be around a year from now.” And it would appear that further delays are on the horizon. Last month, the Christie administration floated a trial balloon that would radically rewrite the letter of the law, which calls for medical marijuana to be manufactured and dispensed by private operators. Christie has publicly stated that he would like Rutgers University to be the sole grower of medical marijuana—and become a hub of marijuana research—with teaching hospitals to serve as dispensaries. Most proponents of the law are opposed to these changes, labeling them a bad idea at best and at worst a thinly veiled attempt to delay implementation of the law indefinitely. “We don’t support the idea of Rutgers being the only supplier and teaching hospitals being the only dispensaries for a number of reasons: First, monopolies never create ideal goods or services; more options always makes for a stronger marketplace,” says Scotti of Drug Policy Alliance. “Second, you have to remember that medical marijuana is still in conflict with federal law and for that reason no state has ever gotten into the business of growing and dispensing it themselves. It’s always been turned over to private operators who shoulder the risk of federal prosecution. We would be asking state and hospital employees to violate federal law. New Mexico [whose medical marijuana law closely mirrors New Jersey’s] considered the same thing but ultimately decided against it.” That is true, says Dr. Alfredo Vigil, Secretary of New Mexico’s Department of Health, which is responsible for administering the state’s medical marijuana law. Vigil says New Mexico briefly considered using hospitals as pot dispensaries but quickly decided against it. “You have to remember that our law came into effect under the Bush administration and they were crystal clear that they were hostile to this law and would take any opportunity to prosecute people in violation of the federal law against marijuana,” he says. “We are talking about asking health care professionals to put their licenses in jeopardy. Plus, it seems like a fairly

inefficient model. Hospitals aren’t used to being drug dispensaries and that’s a complicated business. On top of that you are talking about doubling or tripling the flow of patient traffic, adding more parking, more staff and more facilities, all of which is expensive and time-consuming.” As for the prospect of the state of New Mexico growing its own pot: “That approach quickly proved impractical and unrealistic,” Vigil says. “First, the state doesn’t own any fields—people were joking about tilling the patch of grass outside the Department of Health. Ridiculous. Second, we license and certify the sale of alcohol, but we don’t make it for the simple reason that we have neither the

resubmitted a photocopy but were told in February 2002 that the photocopied application was invalid since it didn’t have an original signature. In July 2002, the original application was returned, unprocessed, with a DEA date stamp showing it had been received in June 2001. Craker resubmitted the original application to the DEA on Aug. 20, 2002, which the DEA finally acknowledged receiving. And on it went. Fast forward through five years of red tape, culminating in legal action against the DEA that snaked through the Federal Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court and ended with DEA Administrative Law Judge Mary Ellen Bittner’s Feb. 12, 2007, recommendation

facilities nor the expertise.” As for Rutgers becoming a hub of marijuana research, Vigil says it would be nice, in a better world. “As a scientist, I am hobbled by a severe lack of knowledge about how that drug works and so it is very hard to have a scientific conversation about its medicinal use,” he says. “But the federal government has very strongly delayed and denied serious research into it for decades. And [the Rugters plan] would be asking a university that receives federal money and contracts to risk losing all that along with accreditation. States like New Mexico and New Jersey that have passed medical marijuana laws are essentially creating a shell around an illegal activity and there is a temporary truce with the feds. But that doesn’t mean those conflicts have been resolved.” The University of Massachusetts tried for nine years to establish itself as a hub of marijuana research, which requires a special license from the Drug Enforcement Administration. Here’s how that went according to the project's official website: Dr. Lyle Craker originally submitted the application for a license to DEA in June 2001. In December 2001, DEA claimed it was lost. We subsequently

that the research license be granted. The DEA thought about it for two whole years before finally deciding to overrule the judge and deny the license once and for all, making it clear in a strongly worded ruling that, after nine years of back and forth, this would be the final word on the matter. Given UMass’ experience with the DEA, some proponents of the Compassionate Use law believe the Christie administration is intentionally leading medical marijuana down a blind alley with the Rutgers plan, knowing full well that it would languish for years in legal limbo before inevitably hitting a wall. They find it odd that a man who has built his political profile on the inelegant mantra of getting ‘government the hell out of your way’ is essentially asking the federal government for permission to make medical marijuana a reality in New Jersey, knowing that the answer is no. “This is just another delay tactic to prolong the period of time before medical marijuana is available for as long as possible,” says Wolski of the Coalition For Medical Marijuana New Jersey. “Rutgers can always apply to become one of the growers, but don’t let it hold up the whole program.”

There are other reasons for proponents not to trust the Christie administration’s intentions. For the entirety of the four years it took to get the Compassionate Use law passed, proponents like CMMNJ, Drug Policy Alliance and NORML had a seat at the table. Lawmakers welcomed their advice and input. But when the Christie administration came in, the door was closed. “Back in February we offered a set of regulations for implementing the law that we had assembled with various lawyers and experts,” says Wolski. “They wrote back to say ‘Thanks but no thanks, we’re not taking any input from advocates.’” Six months later the original deadline has come and gone, and still there are no regulations for implementing the law. “They haven’t reached out to any medical marijuana experts. That’s like trying to build a bridge without talking to a bridge engineer,” says Chris Goldstein, who sits on the board of directors at both NORML and CMMNJ. “So I am not surprised they are totally confused. Why not just stick with the law we passed? It’s the most innovative law in the country. Why are we starting over?” “When you are talking about the growing and distribution of a controlled dangerous substance you want it done correctly,” says Michael Drewniak, spokesman for Christie. “I mean, we could either do it now or do it right. The law as written is not a bad law, but we cannot allow this to become another Colorado or California. This governor, coming from a law-enforcement background, doesn’t want to see that happening. So we are taking a breather.” Meanwhile, people are dying. Though the Christie administration has been granted a 90-day extension, time is running out for people like Diane Riportella and she can’t go to the Legislature for more. She’s already outlived her healthinsurance policy. Two months ago, a respiratory infection nearly took her out. In that time, she’s had no access to medical marijuana. At first she was too sick to smoke, and by the time she pulled through and bounced back her source had dried up. Instead, she has had to rely on morphine, which is delivered to her house via Fed Ex unmolested by law enforcement. She doesn’t like morphine, it makes her dopey and sleep all the time. And she’s already grown addicted. Her face is flushed red and she has chills, which she says means she is going through withdrawal. She glumly asks her husband to give her another dose, and he shoots it into her mouth with a syringe. Then he puts the oxygen mask back on her as she waves a glassy-eyed goodbye. Soon the bedroom sounds like the inside of Darth Vader’s head as he covers her in a warm blanket and she drifts off to sleep. n A fundraiser to help the Riportellas defray medical costs will be held Sept. 25 at the Flying Cloud Cafe in Atlantic City.

Literal fishing in Brooklyn probably requires some bureaucratic hopscotch and about a gallon of disinfectant. But LaTonia Phipps’ autobiographical one-woman show, while it is inspired by a memory of fishing with her mother in Prospect Park, is more concerned with proverbial fishing. Protagonist Tia Lite casts her line into the pond of memory, but she isn’t hooking guppies and goldfish. She’s tangling with some

July 14-20, 2010

Last week, Wilco’s Nels Cline came to town with a solo project. Now it’s the drummer’s turn. Glenn Kotche’s works have an abstract, percussive quality reminiscent of Steve Reich, making him a natural fit for modern-classical collaborators like the Kronos Quartet and Bang on a Can. On Fillmore, Kotche’s duo project with acoustic bassist Darin Gray is dark and spacey, with an alluring mallet-and-strings mix that’s well-documented on their latest release, Extended Vacation. That and a couple of recent soundtracks have put Kotche and Gray in frequent touch

nasty, toothy eels: the death of her mother, her sexuality, her identity as an Afro-Latina. Swirling from Brooklyn to Ghana, Jamaica to Costa Rica and back, Fishing in Brooklyn explores the memories and music of the Afro-Latin diaspora: West African drums, Caribbean marimbas and borough beats. Tia’s encounters with the women of her past— both ancestors and role models—help her reclaim her cultural heritage and her mother’s memory. What she ultimately N E A catches in this trawl is nothing less I L O N ELPHI than her alma, her soul. LAUREN SMITH

Murder City Devils

These Seattle garage-punks didn’t play Philly for a decade—much of that span was spent split up—but now the sextet is back for the second time in five months. Guess that “temporary reunion,” started in 2006, is going pretty well. Theirs is a welcome return, and while time appears to have healed all wounds, the Devils certainly haven’t gone soft: Their shows remain loud, raw, fiery and unpredictable. Granted, they probably won’t leap into the crowd to brawl with fans or punch each other onstage, so if it’s a danger-spectacle you’re hoping for, you may be disappointed. But if you wanna hear them rip through the songs like the good old days, you’re probably in luck. Michael alan GoldberG

Kid Sister

By the time Chicago’s Kid Sister released her debut album Ultraviolet last year, she was already one of the coolest new kids on the block, with ties to Kanye West and his label. While her tunes aren’t necessarily groundbreaking, her adrenaline-fueled songs show more creativity than the majority of Top 40 hits. And though there’s a lot of repetition, there’s also a surprising number of beat changes and unexpected bridges, not to mention discernible melodies. And she’s flat-out fun. From the slow, edgy beats of her breakout hit “Pro Nails” to the rave-provoking, synth-soaked anthem “Right Hand Hi,” she melds Spank Rock and Amanda Blank with ’90s hip-hop divas like Salt-n-Pepa and En Vogue.

Scott Pilgrim 6 Release P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY July 14-20, 2010

his week, Bryan Lee O’Malley rounds out his six-hit combo with Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour, the final entry in his pixel-perfect comic homage to 8-bit nostalgia, chronic unemployment and indie noise. The manga-influenced Canuck comic series first seized upon the Famicon zeitgeist of listless twentysomethings in 2004; this August, it levels up to the multiplex with the Edgar Wright-helmed Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, starring an uncharacteristically caffeinated Michael Cera as a bass player who must battle and defeat his new girlfriend’s seven evil exes. Brave New Worlds is ringing in the Finest Hour a day early with a midnight release party. Shuffle around with the local geek fauna and exchange Sex Bob-omb mixtapes in anticipation of that impending boss battle with Gideon, the last and toughest evil ex standing between Scott and his maybe-true love. O’Malley’s already racked up a ton of points, but it’s time for the final score.

Heartless Bastards’ Erika Wennerstrom’s voice is hard and rough as unfinished oak. Its flinty, weathered tone complements the swaggering sinew of their roots-based sound. The Bastards’ first two albums grind out bruising garage-blues built on brash strokes of distortion and pliant melody. A move from Dayton to Austin in ’07 saw Wennerstrom completely overhauling the quartet’s lineup and approach for last year’s The Mountain. Electric guitars are downplayed in favor of acoustic instrumentation (violin, banjo, mandolin) serving old-timey Americana ache. Her voice aspires to a lithe torch-country waver revealing previously unwitnessed finesse. It’s a departure that retains prior efforts’ arid, lumbering sway while increasing dynamics and subtlety at the expense of power. chriS ParKer

Best of 2009 Ottawa Animation Festival

New York artist Cynthia Berkshire is comin’ to town to present an in-progress performance of “IRIS Gets Ready for Her Date.” Humorous and disturbing, the piece tells the story of a woman named Iris dealing with the ever-present dilemma of female self-expression, armed with a flashlight, boxes of tissues and a pile of bras. There's a Q&A with the artist after the performance; one might ask about the artist’s backgrounds in ballet, theater, video art and graphic design, which combine, Megazord-like, in her multi-genre performances. ICA, a sponsor, will host a workshop by Berkshire that day at 2 p.m. In it, the artist will use movement, writing, props, and storytelling, to guide participants in expressing thoughts and feelings about women’s bodies.

Treat your eyes and remind yourself what it’s like to watch cartoons on something bigger than a laptop screen. The venerable Ottawa International Animation Festival has been lauding the best in animation since 1976. 2009’s 15 picks, from one to 11 minutes, cover topics like space, sex and Madagascar. Techniques range from the flowing, computer-animated splatters of Michal Socha’s "Chick" to Eric Dyer's 3-D animation and digital video combo “The Bellow’s March;” each frame in veteran cartoon-creator Marv Newland’s “Postalolio” was hand-painted onto a postcard and sent through the mail before the animation process. Unlike the random string of links that constitute the average YouTube black hole, these films carefully selected for your pleasure. aleXandra JoneS

No, not that kind of pop. This isn’t a festival for Ke$ha wannabes to showcase their, uh, talents—it’s an annual fundraiser for the Philadelphia Orchard Project, a nonprofit organized in 2007 whose mission is to plant orchards throughout Philly in order to beautify the city, provide healthy food and foster community food security. You won’t see any lip-synching during performances by five local bands: The Mean, Betty Iron Thumbs, The Weeds, Elder Brother and Balkan burners the West Philadelphia Orchestra. All proceeds go to the Philadelphia Orchard Project, but thanks to donations from Philadelphia Brewing Company (free beer!) and neighborhood associations, festival entry is suggested-donation only. A cheap outdoor music festival that helps Philly go more green beats Britney any day. chaia WerGer

Bob Log III

The stage is more powerful than any drug, which is probably why we afford musicians such a wide normative berth. Suggesting a woman ride your knee, clap her tits or dip her boob in your scotch doesn’t work nearly as well without a guitar in your hand. Even if that wasn’t Log’s intent in starting his one-man band a dozen years ago, he’s taken advantage of the power. Singing through a phone receiver connected to his motorcycle helmet and clad in what appears to be one of Evel Knievel’s old jumpsuits, the irreverent Log delivers skuzzy, ramshackle blues like a developmentally challenged, bus-station Jon Spencer. It’s raw but effective, and like any crank, he’s highly entertaining. C.P. 9:30pm. $10. With Molly Gene One Whoaman Band + Mondo Topless.

Eyedea & Abilities

Following a similar career path as fellow Minneapolis and Rhymesayers hip-hop duo Atmosphere, Eyedea (he’s the rapper) & Abilities (he’s the DJ) have transformed over the past decade from hardened battle-rappers to self-aware, boundary-breaking alt-rappers. Yes, they can still spit and scratch with the best of ’em, but these days Eyedea is just as likely to sing a melodic chorus as throw down an aggro rhyme, and Abilities will probably drop some outta-left-field indie-rock and electro textures on your head. Sometimes that approach works wonders, and sometimes—when you just want a hard beat to bob to—it’s frustrating, but you still have to respect Eyedea & Abilities for moving beyond the obvious.

LGBT Square Dance

Tired of rubbing against drunken, sweaty, heteronormative freaks at the Barbary? Thanks to the Independence Squares—Philly’s own LGBT square-dance club—you can finally take a break from the dry-humping. With their monthly open house, the Independence Squares, comprised of queer and straight members, gives promenade virgins a sneak peek into the gay square-dancing subculture. Caller Joe Bradshaw will shout out step-by-step instructions for how to avoid embarrassment on the dance floor. After completing the open house, first-time dancers will receive a card to get into a second open house free for additional instructions. This is a truly alternative dance scene and, here, it’s hip to be square. EriCa Palan 7pm. $5. lutheran Church of the Holy Communion, 2111 Sansom St. 215.567.3668. independencesquares.org

Deer Tick

John McCauley of Deer Tick is fast becoming one of the most unpredictable performers in roots rock. Teetering like Westerberg on the fine line between drunken brilliance and incoherence, he is known as much for his meandering monologues as for fiery musical intensity. Deer Tick’s latest album The Black Dirt Sessions fuses heart-scorching country authenticity with the guitar overload of 1970s radio, and if McCauley doesn’t close with aninebriated cover of the Mats’ “Can’t Hardly Wait,” it’ll be the equally triumphant, equally out-of-control “Mange” from the new record. This show is no place for the detached observer, either. “If you don’t want to get covered in beer or confetti at one of our shows, I’d suggest not standing up in the front,” says McCauley.

For months I used my fake ID to get into bars and clubs. Then it was taken away. By Matt Petrillo

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com feet tall while the ID says 6 feet 4 inches. And what difference does it make if I turn 21 in less than six months, while the ID says it happened six years ago? “Do you have anything else in your wallet with your name on it?” the guard asked, already knowing the answer. “I don’t carry a wallet on me when I go out,” I honestly replied. “Sorry. Have this person come in tomorrow if he wants it back,” he said as he put the ID aside. I glared him in the eyes and angrily curled my lips, but politely whispered, “OK, I won’t come here again with it,” and stuck out my hand to embrace the return of my counterfeit license. He didn’t return it, and instead suggested he should maybe inform the cops, and I could risk getting arrested for identify theft. My anger exceedingly outweighed any embarrassment I was feeling. I turned around and, pissed off, slowly walked to the underage line, dreading the thought the whole way over, but my friends were already inside. So in it I stood. “Hey, next time you smell like alcohol,” the guard told the kid in front of me, “you’ll be turned away.” The kid, who stood below my nipple, seemed terrified enough to wet his pants. I walked up and, before the bouncer even took my real ID, he said, “The 21 and older side is over there.” I smiled. He apologized after seeing the ID, and I walked inside. The night did get better. After finding my friends and dancing to a handful of songs, I was having a lot of fun. Then a stranger came up to me and asked, “Are you the guy who got his ID taken away?” I looked at him, my narrowing eyebrows asking “who the fuck are you,” until we started dancing. He eventually asked for my number, and suddenly, getting my ID taken away wasn’t so terrible. That is, until some friends went out to a 21 plus spot the next night without me. n

It was a nice run we had, my Fake ID and me. For months, I pretended to be 26-year-old Doug—most places that do card only quickly search for the birth date and typically disregard the actual picture. I had used it plenty of times before and never had an issue. But now it’s all over. We’ve split. It was a nasty breakup. College night at Woody’s has two entrances: one for the kiddies and another for the adults. After arriving in a group, my friends and I split and waited behind the appropriate sides, planning to meet back at the dance floor. Fewer than a half-dozen insufficiently intoxicated homosexuals coolly waited in line in front of me and two friends on the 21-plus side, while the loud, sophomoric immaturity of obnoxiously wasted tiny gays stood over at the 21-under entrance. They danced in a fumbled line— while repeatedly shrieking the same Lady Gaga lines way off pitch— before confidently flashing their IDs to a security guard to let them in. Back in the adult line, a security guard returned my ID, sensing something was amiss. “Hold on,” said another guard near the door while I was forced to wait just outside. They asked to see my ID again. I arrogantly grinned and calmly handed it over. He glanced at the ID and gave me a swift double take. I smirked a failingly flirtatious smile. As he compared the face on the ID to my own, he shot another double take. He held the ID up next to my face, still scrutinizing both, and informed me that the picture on it failed to portray any actual resemblance to the person standing before him. “What?” I spat out, now looking artificially perplexed. “It had worked a million times before!” I thought. Didn’t matter that my eyes are hazel, while the man pictured on the ID has brown. Or that I stand at just above six

Bassist Dave Kaczorowski and drummer Adrian Valosin formed a tight unit for many years as the rhythm section for trumpeter Herb Robertson. Joined by reedsman Dan Peterson and guitarist Ed Ricart, they formed Augmented Fourthtet as an outlet for their loose, improvisation-friendly compositions. Navigating between structure and free-form experimentation, the quartet occasionally launches into canonical pieces by jazz masters Albert Ayler, Henry Threadgill and Andrew Hill. On this night, Ricart’s position will be taken by Philly-based pianist and electronicist Matt Mitchell who, having just returned from recent tours with Claudia Quintet and Tim Berne’s Los Totopos, is one of the rising stars of our local jazz scene.

movies and wartime walkie-talkies. This is postapocalyptic storytelling, rooted in cinematic war stories and the artists’ own love of the earth. There’s great visual beauty here, but it’s awash in darkness and sorrow. A narrative of destruction and danger is suggested as the human ﬁgure tromps endlessly on. It’s humankind out of its element—David Bowie’s Man Who Fell to Earth or Neil Armstrong’s moonwalk—but stripped of optimism. With the gallery lights off, as I saw it, the pieces have great drama in the cool, dark space. According to the gallery notes, the artists mean you to see the work with the lights on. Try it both ways—the gallery staff is amenable. The graphic punch of “Whiteout” would suffer with the lights on, but “The Fall” might gain additional mystery if seen white-on-white on the wall like a magic apparition. A third nonvideo work, a cut-vinyl piece that repeats the sand-dune patterns seen in “Whiteout,” is a weak echo of the video. It might be more successful with a blacklight projection to give it some mystery or cinematic presence. Hironaka and Suib are a husbandand-wife team who began collaborating in 2007 after separately achieving local and national renown for their solo works. They founded the just-shuttered Screening Video in 2007 and were both Vox Populi members. This is their ﬁrst show at Locks Gallery. ■

a.m. on opening day right there in the back of the gallery. “Olfactics” was designed to be ephemeral, but the weather sped the process up. It opened on the last day of lovely weather before the heat wave, and after two days the 272 smells had decayed and combined to create a stench so overwhelming they had to throw most of the bottles away. “It was this really speciﬁc smell. I still remember it. It was awful,”

If a horse rolls over in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound? Not in Nadia Hironaka and Matt Suib’s silent video “The Fall” (2010), a short black-and-white (the tones are inverted, so maybe whiteand-black?) fantasy piece that’s part of the couple’s debut at blue-chip Locks Gallery. The horse in question—a ghostly apparition that seems more unicorn—has its star turn in a bleak birch forest. The camera moves slowly forward through dense woods to reveal the animal, which rolls on its back, kicks at the air, then gracefully gets up and trots out of the picture. The camera reverses direction through the woods and, doubting your eyes, you begin another loop of the two-minute piece. The mesmerizing video is an odd mix of old-school storytelling and up-to-the-minute video techniques. The HD video has so much digital dodge and burn that it evokes a world seen via X-ray, or through nightvision goggles. Yet the piece, projected large on the gallery wall, has old-fashioned pinhole-camera framing, and its content is right out of a fairy tale. Pining after beauty and purity in a damaged world is a well-loved theme in art, and Hironaka and Suib do it particularly well. The other video in the show, the twochannel “Whiteout” (2010), is likewise full of night-vision visual edginess and fantasy tinged with unearthly beauty. An eightminute stream of images runs the gamut from nature to bombed-out buildings, with the main role played by a Hazmatsuited person carrying a metal detector roaming sand dunes. A quiet but insistent soundtrack of music, noise, voice and static washes over the gallery like random sounds picked up from radio stations,

Of the 272 small, sterile-looking, numbered bottles that had been neatly lined up on shelves two weeks ago for the opening night of “Olfactics,” only lonely looking #52 is still around for me to smell. Picking up the white, prescription-sized bottle, shaking its contents around a bit and taking a long whiff through the wire mesh opening in the cap, I smell … nothing. It’s weirdly vindicating when I walk across the room to a grid of 272 numbered pieces of paper, and find only one word scribbled by the exhibit’s attendees on the piece of paper marked 52: “NOTHING.” Vincent Finazzo, who with Michael Chadwick and Andy Molholt came up with the exhibit, shrugs and tells me that it was “earth.” “Olfactics” is an interactive art piece that opened at Vwvoffka gallery (say: VWOOFkah, in a semi-Soviet accent. It’s fun) this past First Friday, with a repeat of the event coming up July 24. It tries to examine the experience of smell separated from the rest of the senses. The numbered bottles contained samples of concentrated smells, both pleasant and not; the wall across the room holds attendees’ written-in responses to the question “What does this number smell like?” Looking at the wall of results, written by the 200-odd people that Finazzo and Vwvoffka co-founder Masha Badinter estimate attended the First Friday opening on Frankford Avenue this month, it’s clear which smells were easy to ID. There’s a lot of agreement about garlic and bananas; ditto for poop. A few squares say “NOTHING,” a couple say “COCAINE,” several more are blank. The four or five squares with various responses on the Italian-herb spectrum also include a guess of “PIZZA.” One says “MY MOM.” It’s interesting as art both in the primary experience of interacting with the scents, in the secondary records of the uniqueness of people’s reactions to the same smell and in the communal experience (a la Oliver Herring’s awesome Task Parties that FLUXSpace has been hosting for the last few years) of being both a viewer and a creator of art. The set of samples on cotton swabs ran the gamut from bananas to rosemary to cat litter to garbage juice. “Uh, the bottom of the garbage can,” laughs Finazzo when asked where one finds garbage juice. It was one of the first scents they acquired, sampled at 3

What's that smell?: The two parts of “Olfactics.”

says Badinter, who had trouble describing it beyond that, as if it were some ineffable horror out of an H.P. Lovecraft story. Finazzo agrees that the smell was terrible, but was strangely drawn to the idea of a smell that, while terrible, would probably never exist in exactly the same way again. After the next iteration of “Olfactics” at the end of the month, the artists plan to print and release a book of results from both days of their art experiment, from what was in the bottles vs. how they were identiﬁed to more unexpected data, like which bottles drew the most ﬂies as the heat wave ground on and which were stolen during the event. The book will be available at Vwvoffka; Badinter says it’ll probably also be at Little Berlin and Extra Extra, two of the handful of galleries that have been springing up in Kensington over the last couple years, making the Philly art scene a much more interesting, if occasionally pungent, place. ■ Sat., July 24, 7pm. “Olfactics.” Vwvoffka Gallery, 2037 Frankford Ave. 203.331.6135. vwvoffka.blogspot.com

nue in a performance that, while competent, leaves us wishing for more. Perrier captured a Barrymore award for her flawless performance under Kern’s direction in Lantern Theater Company’s Skylight; here, her Irina is appropriately idealistic, but we don’t get a real sense of her desperation at being marooned in this rural hamlet. The production’s best performance comes from Czajkowski, who is sensational as Masha. A crafty, elegant actor, Czajkowski endows Masha with an intriguing air of mystery. Her porcelain-doll features appear fragile, but appearances are misleading: Desperately unhappy in her marriage to the timid Kulygin (a wonderfully nerdy David Ingram) she’s the only sister to stand up to Natasha’s bullying, and she dares to fall in love with Vershinin despite knowing it will not end well. After the inevitable breakup, Czajkowski grieves with a quiet intensity that’s frightening and moving. While Kern doesn’t bend over backwards to point a blinking sign at the play’s parallels with the present day, he purposefully keeps the era ambiguous, playing up the universal, timeless theme of the sadness of watching dreams slip away, of finding yourself living a life that you never intended to live. Even though the characters are a century out of time, you may ask yourself, as David Byrne did, “How did I get here?” n

excellent Rebecca Rich), who obsessively dotes on her children and manages the house and its inhabitants with an iron fist. She alone seems to have found her purpose in life, and it’s noteworthy that she is the play’s least sympathetic character. The sisters, meanwhile, linger in rural obscurity, unable to find either a man or a job to satisfy them. “There is no poetry in it,” says Irina, explaining her unhappiness with her job at a telegraph office. Irina eventually marries one of the soldiers (the likeable Tuzenbach adroitly played by the likeable David Mackay), but while he’s a good man, the union brings her little joy. “People don’t marry for love, they marry because they’re supposed to,” Olga attempts to comfort her sister. Only Masha finds real love, striking up a heated relationship with Vershinin. But in Chekhov’s bleak universe, that, too, is joyless. Vershinin is unhappily married, but with two daughters, he has no intention of leaving his wife. With no prospects to speak of, only the dream of Moscow gives the family hope. But as time passes, it seems less and less likely that they will see their beloved city again. With her gentle demeanor, Ganier’s Olga is the family’s maternal figure. Conflict makes her physically ill, her soft exterior masks a toughness. In Ganier’s performance, Olga is a kindhearted, decent woman willing to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her family. The play begins at Irina’s 20th birthday party, and Perrier plays the youngest sister as a wide-eyed ingé-

Temple Repertory Theater is not a typical new theater company. It’s a huge company, with about 65 directors, designers, actors and technicians from Temple University’s Department of Theater (including artistic director Dan Kern) dedicated to producing large-ensemble dramas rarely seen in today’s climate of miniaturized plays and productions. TRT’s cast is primarily professional actors (including a Barrymore winner and Obie Award winner) enrolled in Temple’s acting MFA program. But despite its size, the TRT is starting off small, making an auspicious debut with a cozy staging of Chekhov’s Three Sisters. The play, written in 1900, begins at the onset of the 20th century in the country home of the Prozorov family, where Andréy (Carl Granieri) lives with his three sisters, Masha (Kate Czajkowski), Olga (Yvette Ganier) and Irina (Geneviève Perrier). Stuck in a backwater town, the unhappy clan longs to return to cosmopolitan Moscow. “Life is choking us,” moans Masha, who recoils from what she views as the coarseness and vulgarity of the town’s citizens. Melodrama was the most popular style of theater in turn-of-the-century Russia, and, as a commercial playwright, Chekhov was writing to that audience. But through the trysts, infidelities and a bloody duel, Chekhov’s play is strikingly natural, lacking the off-putting feeling that the characters are pawns in the service of plot twists and overflowing passions. Likewise, the events Kern’s Sisters seem to happen naturally. Everything about the production is in service of the actors, most notably the arrangement of the audience. Instead of occupying the seats in Tomlinson Theater’s large auditorium, the audience is seated in a semi-circle on the stage, which feels almost like being a visitor to the family’s country home. It makes the large-scale work more intimate; at times, the actors are so close you can nearly feel their breath on your face. But design-wise, the seating arrangement is awkward and problematic. The onstage audience limits Dirk Durossette’s set, which is effective at serving the actors but doesn’t quite evoke a large estate. The frustrated characters soldier on in search of love, work and a reason to live. The only satisfied character is Andréy’s horrid wife, Natasha (an

I feel almost like I’m levitating.” With a plum Sunday afternoon slot at the XPoNential Fest, this appearance should far outnumber previous local gigs at the First Unitarian Church and ’XPN’s Free at Noon at World Cafe Live. “People know about the music now,” says Letts. “It’s been cool to go back to cities and see how word has spread.” n

for constant improvisation and evolution of their songs; and, frankly, to the hottest accordion player you’ve ever seen. “It’s never the same night after night,” says Letts. “We never really know how a particular song is going to go until we play it. It keeps it fresh.” That dynamism, says Letts, is what’s allowed the band to grow, causing them to play better as they greet bigger crowds. “There are a couple of shows where we’ll walk offstage and realize that we went somewhere in the show that we’ve never been before,” he says. “A lot of times when we’re playing I feel like we become one unit—like we’re all satellites revolv-

scales they were using. Oh, and have it in by noon.” That diverse exposure has ended up informing both his radio show, where he’s likely to follow up a score from a Fellini film with a Little Richard song, and his live sets, where audiences have learned to not be surprised by either a string of threeminute ditties or extended improvs. And until he walks onstage, Vaughn isn’t really sure which it’s going to be either. Regardless of which musical incarnation ends up performing, Vaughn’s set is sure to be a quirky, fascinating closer to Saturday’s Marina Stage at the 2010 XPoNential Music Festival, where this year’s lineup balances intellectual heavyweights like Vaughn and Yo La Tengo; local phenoms such as Harper Blynn and Blood Feathers; marquee rockers like Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Rosanne Cash and Dr. Dog; and ’XPN superstars like Cowboy Junkies, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Alejandro Escovedo, and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. It’s a lineup varied and talented enough to make XPoNential the golden ticket of Northeast summer festivals. But of all of the up-and-comers and trusted mainstays performing, perhaps the most of-the-moment buzz surrounds Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, whose so-sappy-it’s-sweet hippie anthem “Home” has made them required listening at every hipster wedding this summer: “Hot and heavy, pumpkin pie/ Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ/ Ain’t nothing please me more than you … Home is whenever I’m with you.” And according to Edward Sharpe guitarist Christian Letts, it’s not just the hipsters. “A friend of mine works at a stuffy corporate place—one of those companies with no personality,” he says on the phone from Texas, where he and the band (none of whom is named Edward Sharpe, by the way) are in the midst of a summer headlining tour. “She walked into her CEO’s office, and he was dancing around the room, listening to ‘Home.’ After we played Letterman, we got a letter from this 80-year-old woman, saying that hearing the song made her feel like a child again.” In the last year, the Zeros have quickly built a cult following, with audiences drawn alternately to the band’s jangly pop scores; to the blissed-out hippie shake of bandleader Alex Ebert; to their penchant

The comeback was born, as so many great comebacks are, at a VFW hall in Radnor. Ben Vaughn—South Jerseyite by birth, Philadelphian by rite, current Californian by trade—had come back east to play a birthday party for a friend’s wife. “It was the first time my band and I had played together in more than 10 years,” he says on the phone from his Santa Monica home. “And it was so much fun and sounded so good after so much time, I let people know I was open to doing shows again.” The band—and Vaughn himself—will be familiar to longtime Philadelphians who recall Vaughn’s career as a hitmaker and local music legend back in the ’80s and early ’90s. Back then he was best known for writing songs like “I’m Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee)” and hosting weekly South Street gigs. Nowadays he’s on the radio, where he hosts the Saturday night show The Many Moods of Ben Vaughn on ’XPN. So who better to bring Vaughn back to a local stage than the station itself? This weekend Vaughn plays WXPN’s annual XPoNential Music Festival in Camden—just a few miles from where he grew up. Coming up in the Philly media market, a young, music-obsessed Vaughn devoured whatever came over the airwaves on WDAS, WIBG, WFIL … even, when the winds were right on Saturday nights, he could pick up the Grand Ole Opry or WOR in New York. Most of all, though, he listened to Jerry “the Geator” Blavat on WCAM, who influenced what Vaughn does on the radio now. “He created something that only he could provide, and I saw that as something I needed to do too,” Vaughn says of the Geator, whom he just profiled in a twohour ’XPN tribute honoring Blavat’s 70th birthday. “The secret is to stay true even when people aren’t buying what you’re selling.” Vaughn is coming off of his most prolific period of selling, but the buyers aren’t the consumers you’d expect. After moving out west, he spent 11 years writing music for TV shows, including instantly recognizable melodies from That ’70s Show and Third Rock From the Sun. “Writing every day on assignment was great for me,” he says. “I’d run out of reasons to write in rock ’n’ roll. I knew I was prolific, but this proved I was capable of being a craftsman. I would have to research. If someone wanted me to do an Argentinean tango, I’d have to learn about it, and I’d have to figure out what

What makes us most excited for the future is ... “the possibility to travel the country—and hopefully the world—and share our music with different cultures.

This is why we bring all the equipment on stage and rock out raw and uncut. To get the audience as close as possible to the vibe of making music and how that makes you feel. At the same time we’re here to entertain them and give them a tremendous show, which is bigger than just a record (although we think we make dope records too.)” (Charlie K) What makes us unique is ... “the way we internalize the craft of making not just music, but art for the people. When we are on the road in the van, we play everything from Thom Yorke to Ryan Leslie to 4Hero to Stereolab to Jay Electronic to Electric Wire Hustle. We are constantly connecting with creativity ranging from comedy (we’re pretty hilarious, by the way) to obscure visual artistry such as architecture and sculpture to compliment our music.” (Kush Shalimar)

TRUTH. People in the industry are starting to notice, too, which is why the group—made up of verbal mechanic Charlie K, live beat producers Chris Conway and Kush Shalimar and hype man Somerville Sleeves—is being asked to open more and more high-profile shows as time goes on. They’ve been getting cushy with Black Sheep, Wu Tang Clan, the Roots, and this week, Kidz in the Hall at the TLA. Be sure to get there early to catch the live mixing they do and what is absolutely, to our minds, the best show hip-hop has to offer. We asked Writtenhouse to play a little “Fill in the Blanks” with us in advance of the big night. And if you don’t know, now you know! (Brian McManus)

Seventy five percent of what is being played on the radio ... ”seems to be watered down, in my opinion. The ‘conscious’ hip-hop music does not seem to have a solid platform to stand on and the general public needs more Jay Electronica, more Reflection Eternal, more Phahroe Monche ... more Writtenhouse. The crazy part is that 75% of the readers will agree.” (Charlie K) Of all the acts we’ve played with recently, one that blew us away was ... “De La Soul. We have been blessed with the opportunity to share the stage with the best and brightest talent. De La—in addition to being true pioneers—their energy and command of the stage and showmanship reinforced the notion of a live show being something that is bigger than a record or song; 100 percent pure energy, which is what we try to capture too. Watching them has been very influential in how we approach our shows and connect with people on an individual level.” (Somerville Sleeves) One thing you wouldn’t know by looking at us is that ... “we are all college graduates and individually are three time all-world national Ultimate Frisbee players.” (Kush Shalimar) It’s funny ... ”when someone in the audience approaches after a show and tells us they didn’t realize we were playing everything live until midway through our set. We wonder what they thought we were doing for the first 20 minutes.” (Chris Conway) Thurs., July 15, 8pm. $20-$23. With Kidz in the Hall, Akillies + Dephonic & Stalley.

WEEK’S WORST

Sublime with Rome

ditor’s note: The following Week’s Worst E was published in the Dec. 17 issue of PW in 2008 for a Sublime tribute band called Badfish. We’re reprinting it here, because it still applies, but changing the name of the act accordingly. Sublime pushed the bounds of how shitty a band could be, raising the bar for suckage to such Olympian heights Paul Bunyan could’ve limbo’d under it after eating a Chinese buffet. The SoCal act’s marriage of ska riffs and forced “What, me worry?” beach-bum aesthetic was the perfect aural opiate for white college kids and their beer funnels who wanted to like Bob Marley but couldn’t “get with” his sometimesrevolutionary bent. Think Skankin’ Pickle or Op Ivy stripped of everything that made them interesting or good. Anyway, Sublime ended when singer/guitarist Bradley Nowell overdosed on heroin. Now they’ve reunited with a guy named Rome in Bradley’s place. Hence, Sublime with Rome. (Brian McManus) Sat., July 17, 7:30pm. $39.50. With Matisyahu + the Dirty Heads.

Food Mexed Messages

Sisters Ranstead Room and El Rey aren' t created equal. By Adam Erace aerace@philadelphiaweekly.com Coffee is what hits you first, as thick in the air as an impending thunderstorm. In a previous life, El Rey was the Midtown Diner, and it still smells that way. Looks that way too, with faux exposed-rock walls, rows of re-upholstered booths and a drop ceiling strung with a flotilla of light fixtures. I took a seat beneath one shaped like the Cone of Shame from Up and ordered one of the best micheladas in town. The spice-crusted mug brimmed with iced Tecate and sangrita—not sangria, the waitress counseled. “A lot of people order it expecting something else.” I ordered the $10 guacamole expecting something else, e.g. something not buried beneath a shut-down-thehighways blizzard of cotija cheese. Each overpriced bite was like a mouthful of Morton. Crab ceviche, $12, could have been called drab ceviche, a dome of oiled blue crustacean dosed with lots of jalapeño and less finesse. Plating problems are a plague here, too—not to mention the plates themselves, diner-designed and pastypale as a Twilight groupie. Mounded on a flat dish, the ceviche seeped pepper-stained juices like an obstinate wound, turning a ring of crispy tortilla chips soggy while slips of partially oxidized avocado languished on top like lovesick eels. It’s too bad, because some of the food deserved better, like the sweet, spiced short ribs braised with agua jamaica and Avolita chocolate and tucked into enchiladas in a moat of salsa; ditto for cups of muscly moles, sliding around on a plate like air-hockey pucks. Three regional variations come in the Los Moles especialidad: brooding Oaxacan lamb mole negro, a sheep in wolf’s clothing with five types of chilies (including the elusive chilhuacue); Poblano with chicken, like chocolate velvet; and the nutty, pumpkin seed-based pipian rojo blanketing baby-back ribs. In all three moles, Jimenez’s preferred thickening and sweetening agent is Animal Crackers. It’s his mom’s, too. I might have tried dessert, had the server asked. Instead, I beat a trail back to the warm, red center of the Ranstead Room. I’m not calling for a total El Rey jettison, but the twee cantina’s got a ways to go before becoming half as alluring as its sultry lil’ sis. n

MICHAEL PERSICO

Like a lumberjack with an axe, the bartender raised a long-handled spoon and showed a small iceberg who was boss. Whack! Crack! Thwack! Glassy pebbles piled into a Boston shaker like fenced diamonds into an unmarked briefcase. My friends Campari, Beefeater and Carpano Antica followed. Liquids were stirred and strained, more ice cracked by hand. A firm twist of grapefruit peel sent essential oils spraying with Dexter-credits drama. Naked ladies in gilded frames looked on from the papered walls, all part of the prolonged theater of the Bartender’s Choice at the Steven Starr speakeasy Ranstead Room, where each moment is juicier and more tantric than the next. It’s a formula you’ve seen before: Take 1 part hidden entrance (look for the door marked with double R’s) + 2 parts Manhattan cocktail consultant (Sasha Petraske) + 3 types of ice, including a large, finely faceted block slipped into my drink. But that cocktail (a Negroni modified with grapefruit and a rinse of Pernod) felt original, tasted delectable and made a smart, stimulating start to drinks and dinner at Ranstead and sister restaurant El Rey. I rested my elbows on the vinyl padding of the red Formica bar-top and drank in my drink (a Quill, should you want to try one for yourself) and the colonial convent/Dusk Till Dawn whorehouse ambiance. The tidy room wears wrought iron and candlelight, garnet pleather and disco tiles—Our Lady of Guadeloupe in fishnets and rouge. Cocktailians lingered like the Quill’s licorice notes, but I had Ranstead mostly to myself, and snacks from the El Rey menu arrived right quick. Albondigas were tender orbs of beef and rice, simmered in smoky guajillochipotle sauce with a spark of mint. Gauzy corn tortillas made in-house cradled morsels of lamb stunningly good due to a marinade of Mexican canella, onions, cloves and avocado leaves. Dionicio Jimenez left the white tablecloths of Xochitl for this two-headed Starr-ship enterprise, but he professes, “It’s still the same concept I’ve always had. I try to keep it traditional.” After those two explosively flavorful bites (plus a frothy Tequila Honeysuckle situation) at Ranstead, I wandered around the corner to El Rey, full of liquor and optimism.

Screen SIX PACK Six Movies Set Largely in Dreams By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920): The twist ending was allegedly birthed by this German Expressionist favorite, which reveals in the last scene that the macabre, bizarrely set-designed events we’ve just seen were delusions of our evidently insane hero. If this seems tacked-on, that’s because it was: Studio heavies were nonplussed by the original downer finale. Hacks (and St. Elsewhere writers) took note—although, to his credit, M. Night has never gone with an “It was all a dream!” capper. Yet.

Waking Life (2001): There’s a word for dreaming of Timothy “Speed” Levitch: Nightmare.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY July 14-20, 2010

Paprika (2006): Where Dreamscape’s dreamscapes are hampered by its low budget, there’s few limitations in animation. Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers) takes a similar premise—a psychiatrist invents a device with which one can enter dreams—and supplies appropriately loopy imagery. Menacing geisha dolls menace, frogs form marching bands, people burst into blue butterflies and, in the pièce de résistance, a rampaging parade of junk saunters through city streets.

Inception (2010): Christopher Nolan is more writer than visual stylist. “I tend to just naturally gravitate towards a more ordinary-looking film,” says he—so here’s hoping he approached a film about bizarre dream imagery as a challenge. n

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com “Too much is not enough” should be the motto of writer-director Christopher Nolan, the Fanboy Savior of the Universe who singlehandedly rescued Batman from erstatz camp oblivion while spending his off-time reworking Sudoku puzzles into icily brilliant cinematic whatzits, a la The Prestige. His breakthrough art-house hit Memento traveled backwards through an amnesiac’s tortured mind, and Nolan is singularly obsessed with mashing up the syntax of conventional thrillers, rearranging a shattered time-frame to match the doomed M.O. of his tragic leading men. Inception is the kind of weirdo pet project that could only happen in the wake of The Dark Knight, when somebody lands a couple hundred million dollars for helming one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, no questions asked. It’s an expansive brainfuck rooted in base genre satisfactions— half Solaris, half Matrix. Simultaneously goofy and inspired, Inception is a thrilling, ultimately exhausting headlong rush through its creator’s science-minded pulp fatalism. If Nolan only knew when to say when, it might have been a masterpiece. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as a sullen corporate espionage agent, slinking around Kyoto stealing valuable information from Captains of Industry by infiltrating their dreams. We get vague hints that this began as a military project gone awry, but in the meantime Leo and his devilishly handsome mercenary counterparts cruise from one subconscious to another in meticulously plotted Danny Ocean capers, absconding with dark secrets and viable intel. He’s got a bad past, parceled out Nolanstyle in fragmented flashbacks. DiCaprio’s unfortunately named Dom Cobb cannot return to America, for reasons that will be explained later. After a gig gone bad, a shady Japanese energy tycoon (Ken Watanabe) offers an ultimatum, clearing our protagonist’s name with the authorities in exchange for an impossible mission. Inception—hence the title—is the act of planting an idea in your target’s dreamscape, then having them wake up and claim it as their own. Most folks say it can’t be done, but wounded DiCaprio knows better: He did it once, with heartbreaking results. What was I saying about that tortured backstory? Cobb enlists a rogue’s gallery of shady, scene-stealing supporting characters to torment and reshape the mind of a feckless heir to a massive conglomerate (Cillian

It's a knockout: Above, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the last man standing in a room of unconscious stars in Inception. Left, Leonardo Dicaprio squints, Ellen Page is not buying it.

MELISSA MoSELEY

Dreamscape (1984): In one of the more ridiculous premises in movie history, Dennis Quaid plays a young psychic who has to enter the low-budget dreams of the president (Eddie Albert) to protect him from another, evil psychic (David Patrick Kelly). 1984 was a big year for people fighting in dreams: Nightmare on Elm Street was released that winter.

Inception barely misses greatness, bogged down by ambition.

S T E P H E N vA u G H A N

Peter Ibbetson (1935): When he’s sentenced to life in prison, Gary Cooper and childhood sweetheart Ann Harding meet in their dreams, even after death. Normally a more staid director, Henry Hathaway (Kiss of Death, Airport) goes appropriately purple, complete with castles being willed into existence only to crumble as easily as they were constructed.

The Impossible Dream

Murphy) by manipulating his dreams. This should play like a regular heist picture, but Nolan’s most brilliant flourish is to establish the concept of dreamswithin-dreams—jumbling the movie’s separate realities into one continuous suspense sequence. It keeps several action scenes happening simultaneously, with the same characters starring in four discrete dimensions. I could have done fine with three. Four starts to feel like overkill. Inception is a huge movie full of meaty ideas and eye-popping special-effects, yet much like Dark Knight, the go-for-broke ambition becomes a bit of a grind. Nolan doesn’t know when to stop, adding layer after layer and twist after twist, until the entire third act becomes characters shouting exposition and arbitrary rules over one another, seemingly making it up as they go.

Bronson’s Tom Hardy nearly carries the picture away on burly nonchalance, while effortlessly suave Joseph Gordon-Levitt is granted a zero-gravity fight scene that plays out like Fred Astaire inside the Matrix. It damn near brought down the house at my screening. But it’s DiCaprio’s suffering that keeps Inception grounded. Peering out behind those anxious eyes in a dreamland redux of his Shutter Island dementia—so much so that a handful of Scorsese’s signature shots are eerily echoed here—he’s a hero racked by guilt and falling apart at the seams. Nolan’s a cool-cucumber filmmaker who understands slick precision and mathematical exactitude. He needed to finally meet an actor like DiCaprio, who gives Inception its messy, troubled soul. n

Everyone Else

A Review by Matt Prigge

Wide release

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

C Review by Matt Prigge

Opens Wed., July 14

Nicolas Cage is simple: He either cares or he doesn’t. If he cares, he brings the batshit, going to places few actors (or people in general) have gone before. (Some cite Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant remake as his apex, but true Cageologists know it’s Vampire’s Kiss.) If he doesn’t care, he’s an expensive robot, uttering each line in the sleepy monotone that has kept him a bankable star for longer than he probably deserves. Inexplicably, his turn in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, as an ageless conjurer with a dirty trenchcoat and Gavin Rossdale hair, falls into neither category. Cage isn’t boring, but he’s not crazy, either. He gives every line a certain spring to its step, but he doesn’t push it into the realms of the unknown. Give him a pickle (as the filmmakers do) and he’ll do something weird with it, but

he’s rarely given anything to work with. His performance falls into that frustrating middle ground, as does the film. Not, alas, the long-awaited modernization-cum-urbanization of the 18th-century Goethe poem, Apprentice uses the source material (well, it uses the Mickey Mouse Fantasia segment that used the Dukas musical adaptation of the source material, anyway) as a jumping-off point. Jay Baruchel, 28, plays a 19-year-old NYU physics major who learns from Cage that he’s destined to thwart the apocalyptic plans of a nefarious occultist (Alfred Molina), and maybe also to score a blond clone of Kristen Stewart (Teresa Palmer). It’s Joseph Campbell wish-fulfilment boilerplate, with large chunks of Tolkien (magic rings!) and terms like “grimhold” and “prime Merlinian” casually bandied about. Starting with the old-fashioned ham-off between Cage and Molina that never materializes, Apprentice teems with squandered promise. A clever, Kick-Ass-worthy subplot about Molina’s apprentice (Toby Kebbell), who milked his powers for a successful career as a magician, is introduced only to be abandoned. What could have been the most insane car chase since the bi-temporal one in Deja Vu (our heroes are able to magically change cars and briefly get trapped in a mirror world) is perfunctory in the joyless hands of director Jon Turteltaub (of National Treasure). Apprentice upchucks the occasional bizarre imagery: crying sockets, metal falcons, and most brow-furrowingly, a parade dragon turned into a real dragon, including a shot of the poor men inside suddenly trapped in a real stomach. But, like its star, it’s better than dull while still not trying very hard, which is a shame. Really, all the filmmakers had to do was give Cage a “lucky crack pipe.” n

As in real life, watching couples bicker in movies can be an uncomfortable, enervating experience. Filmmakers too often mistake “raw” fighting for honesty, with paramours so horrible to each other they become as unrealistic as any blockbuster invention. So it’s a huge relief to see Everyone Else, an exacting and sometimes hilarious German drama that captures a pair well on their way to a break-up but does so without resorting to cartoon cruelty. The two play petty mind games, utter terrible insults and have bad sex. But they’re also, at times, tender and affectionate, and more often than not mix emotional violence with genuine love. It is, in other words, realistic. Gitti (Birgit Minichmayr) and Chris (Lars Eidinger) are vacationing in sun-drenched Sardinia. They’re less in love than comfortable, their romance consisting mostly of in-jokes, idle chatter and the pathological avoidance of other people. They pride themselves on not being a typical couple— like everyone else, you could say—which is what annoys them about another vacationing pair, the kind who aggressively touch during dinner and sway merrily to the German equivalent of Barry Manilow. This couple is corny, which is why they work; Gitti and Chris are not, which is why they don’t. Writerdirector Maren Ade—whose The Forest For the Trees (on Netflix Instant; hop to it) is an even darker portrayal of intense neediness—argues that love requires a certain fuzzy-headedness. Relationships, the film bleakly says, do require swapping “I love you”s even when they’re insincere, do require PDA, do require the enjoyment of crap love songs. Our two protagonists are fundamentally incapable of such icky acts, presuming themselves to be

above them. When Chris puts his arm around his lady as they walk, she balks, joking with complicity that he’s “such a bad actor.” If romance is mere acting, how does one express love? Everyone Else is technically a relationship movie, but it’s also a dissection of a specific generational malady. Thirtysomethings of apparent middle-class upbringing, Gitti and Chris are self-aware to a fault, so annoyed by tradition and into the idea of being a new kind of couple that they don’t realize they still have to deal with the same stuff most couples face. They, too, suppress genuine problems; they, too, act like overgrown children. And, just like everyone else, they may never do the right thing and break up.

Savage Love

y boss/CEO lives and works in a different city, but most of her mail arrives at my office because it is the company’s official address. I routinely open mail and packages addressed to her. Usually they contain documents for me to handle, but today I opened a package with her name on it to find something completely different: a pair of vibrating panties. I know this is more of a business-etiquette question, but do your amazing sex-advice skills provide you with any ideas on how I should handle this? It will be very obvious that the package has been opened, even if I try to tape it back up and send it to her home address. But if I do nothing, sooner or later she’s going to wonder where her shipment is. We’re a small, casual company and she’s a pretty confident and outgoing person, but I can’t really predict how she will react to this. Would it be weird for me to just be up-front about this situation? Should I just throw in a sticky note that says, “Whoops! Have fun! :)” and send it on? Or should I pretend this embarrassing thing never happened? AvOId THE AWkWArd

Emoticons are never the right answer, ATA. Please make an emoticon-free note of it. Now here’s what my amazing sex-advice Spidey sense is telling me: Vibrating panties are not a sex toy, ATA, they’re a gag gift. Check your boss’ schedule: Any bridal showers coming up? Bachelorette parties? A friend holding a bash to mourn/celebrate a recent divorce? There’s a small chance that your boss doesn’t know much about sex toys and purchased a pair of vibrating panties for herself and intends to wear them on long flights (if she can get them past security). But you should nevertheless treat this pair of panties like a misplaced gag gift, ATA, and not an existential workplace crisis. So no notes, no emoticons, no being “up-front about this situation,” ATA, because this isn’t a “situation.” It’s a shipping error. Tape up the box and send it off to your boss and forget about it. If she feels a need to bring it up—if she wants to apologize or let you know it was, in fact, a gag gift—she’ll bring it up.

esterday I was finishing a work conversation with my boss via instant message from my home computer. I meant to send her a legitimate link, but because I used the wrong combination of keys, I accidentally entered a several-day-old porn link that was still in the memory and hit send before I noticed my mistake. I’m a 30-year-old male, my boss is a few years younger and female, and she’s generally cool. Once I realized what I had done, I immediately told her not to click the link and I sent the right one. The UrL left little to the imagination about what kind of link it was. We work in a very professional environment that’s careful about maintaining a respectful and harassment-free workplace. I’m horribly embarrassed. How should I handle it? I’m inclined to never speak of it again unless she does first. JErk FrOm HOmE

Workplace power dynamics being what they are—bosses can fire employees, employees can’t fire bosses—you do need to put something in writing. First, no emoticons. Second, send a brief email to your boss detailing just how that happened—IMing from your home computer, not your work computer (making it clear that you weren’t looking at porn on your work computer without using the word “porn”)—apologize one more time, and state that you’ll take care that it doesn’t happen again. You could still get in trouble

with HR if your boss decides to make a case of it, but you’ll be able to point to a contemporaneous email that details your side of the story, i.e., an accident, you weren’t rubbing one out in front of a work computer. In somewhat related news: Today I sent my straight boss a picture I found online of a guy with a wine bottle stuffed up his ass— I did it on purpose. ;)

wanted to thank you for drawing so much attention to Sex at dawn . I am going to get it as soon as possible so I can better understand myself. I have always felt a certain amount of shame because I’ve never had a monogamous relationship. Having been married 14 years (married at 19, which I know is a no-no in your book), I’ve had plenty of temptation and only given in a few times. Those events felt like they were saving my sanity; they never had anything to do with me loving my husband any less. It wasn’t until I started listening to your advice that I realized that maybe I wasn’t the problem. For all these years, I felt like shit because I couldn’t be monogamous. Thanks for clueing me in to evolution, reptile brains, etc. m

Thanks for the nice note, M, now go forth and cheat no more, i.e., don’t be a CPOS (cheating piece of shit). If you’re incapable of being monogamous, don’t make monogamous commitments that you’re damn well going to break. And to all the outraged folks writing in to ask if I’m seriously suggesting that no one should ever be monogamous: That’s not what I’m saying—and it’s not what the authors of Sex at Dawn are arguing, either. The point of Sex at Dawn—and my point in drawing my readers’ and listeners’ attention to it—isn’t that no one should attempt to be monogamous or that people who’ve made monogamous commitments have a license to cheat on their partners. For the record: I’m happy to acknowledge that there are lots of good reasons to be monogamous and/or very nearly monogamous, e.g., children and other sexually transmitted infections. What the authors of Sex at Dawn believe—and what I think they prove—is that we are a naturally nonmonogamous species, despite what we’ve been told for millennia by preachers and for centuries by scientists, and that is why so many people have such a hard time remaining monogamous over the long haul. I’m not saying that everyone everywhere has to be nonmonogamous; the authors of Sex at Dawn don’t make that argument either. (Lots of monogamists, however, do run around insisting that everyone everywhere should be monogamous—and proscriptive monogamists get a pass because, hey, they mean so well and wouldn’t it be nice if everyone were?) The point is this: People—particularly those who value monogamy—need to understand why being monogamous is so much harder than they’ve been led to believe it will be. In some cases, this understanding may help people find the courage to seek out nonmonogamous relationships and/ or arrangements and/or allowances that make them—gasp!—happier and make their relationships more stable, not less, as a routine infidelity won’t doom their marriage/ civilunion/commitment/slavecontract/whatever. But understanding that monogamy is a struggle for most people—and being able to be honest with our partners about experiencing it as a struggle—may actually help some people remain monogamous. n
