Theresa Bernstein’s grand 20th-century paintings, such as 1919’s The Milliners, spanned Philly and the world.

WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... O P EN H OU S E

Theresa Bernstein: A Century in Art In the fall of 2010, Gail Levin was teaching her exhibition seminar in the doctoral art history program at City University of New York when she and her scholars started mining the work of Theresa Bernstein, a remarkable painter whose parents immigrated to Philadelphia from Krakow, Poland when Bernstein was merely a year old. Levin’s meticulous and massive collection and curation—witnessed via Theresa Bernstein: A Century in Art, which has been on display at Woodmere Art Museum since late July— brought an insanely thorough and studied look at her prolific career back to her hometown as a living and breathing tribute to one incredible woman’s life and work. Saturday’s open house, preceded by an hour-long lecture by Levin, comes six weeks shy of the exhibit’s closing. A contemporary to Edward Hopper and Robert Henri, Bernstein’s expressive paintings have been dubbed “ashcan realism” with stark moments of clear vision and visual dexterity. After attending the Philadelphia School of Design for Women—which would become the Moore College of Art & Design—she moved to New York and became part of “the Eclectics” clique. Winning favor with the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, Bernstein started collecting all kinds of awards for her paintings of Armistice Day in 1918, among other favorite subjects. A year later, she married her longtime companion in art, William Meyerowitz, and shortly thereafter gave birth to a daughter whom she tragically lost to pneumonia less than four months later. A notorious chronicler of Manhattan life, Bernstein captured elements of the city’s vibrance and vitriol, and she had solo shows at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Met and the de Young Fine Arts Museum in San Francisco. After her husband’s death in 1981, she didn’t slow down. In fact, she started writing memoirs and prose: The Poetic Canvas in 1989 and The Journal two years later. Bernstein died in 2002, just shy of her 112th birthday. That’s an entire life lived in the 20th century—and it all started in Philadelphia. // BILL CHENEVERT

TAL K

David Lynch

150+ shows all over Philly! Get tickets now at FringeArts.com or call 215.413.1318

THEATER | RESTAURANT | BAR BEER GARDEN | LATE NIGHT

Philadelphia can take solace in the fact that our scary city is where David Lynch would travel to and from class at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts with—as he once put it—“a walking stick [that] had nails, like four-inch nails driven through this one-by-three, all in different directions.” He was living in what’s now referred to as the Eraserhood—after his first film—and counts it as a large inspiration in his weird, oft-beautiful and surreal work. Today, Lynch will speak with PAFA senior curator Robert Cozzolino as part of The Unified Field, the first major museum exhibition of Lynch’s drawings, paintings and prints from 1965 to today, so you should get your tickets before—nevermind, it’s already sold out! No worries, because in addition to Lynchian events going on all this week, the famed director of Eraserhead and Lost Highway is the subject of many, many more exhibits and events, everywhere from PAFA to the International House, the Philadelphia Film Society, Rodger LaPelle Gallery and the Bryn Mawr Film Institute through early January. Some of those events: A Hidden City Philadelphia Walking Tour of Lynch’s Eraserhood; a free talk with LaPelle about Lynch (in case you miss this talk, or the members-only talk at PAFA the next night); a curatorial lecture about Lynch’s films and visual art; an evening of music that made up some soundtracks to Lynch’s films and a PAFA film screening of short films chosen by Lynch. Check the PAFA site for a schedule and info. // RANDY LOBASSO Noon. Sold out. Central Library, 1901 Vine St. pafa.org/lynchprograms

Philly Fest

The Roots back when they were sprouts

MU SIC

EXHIBIT

Ocean City Airport Festival

Illadel All-Stars Reunion See, sometimes, good things do come out of tragedy. Last month’s private memorial service at UT for Rich Nichols, The Roots’ late great manager, served as a reminder to many in Philadelphia’s early-dawning hip-hop and poetry spheres, those who planted seeds in the ‘90s and prior, that tomorrow is not promised, no matter how well you tend your garden, and those ties that bind often loosen over time, but it’s never too late to reconnect. That’s the impetus behind this weekend’s Illadel All-Stars Reunion, a gathering of all the old- and true-school artists, poets and scenesters who used to party at. Bobby Dance’s fly-flashy clubs, watch the Foreign Objects or Fifth Dynasty crews rhyme at the 40th St. Undergound or head-nod at the fabled Footwooks or impromptu jam sessions wherever D. Ryva Parker could get an unconventional space—or create one in her living room. Mecca Starr, a still-rhyming member of Foreign Objects, took the initiative to get this thing poppin’: “I just said, ‘Let’s get together because so many of us are dying,” she told PW, thrilled at the responses she received via the event’s Go Fund Me donation page. Enough money was raised to not only put on a dope show, but food will be provided for kids in attendance—grown-ups, you’ve got jobs, so bring your own!—and at 5pm sharp, veteran photographer Ra Hall will be taking the official Illadel All-Stars Reunion photo. So get there, and if you were around, get in it. // KENYA BEVERLY 2pm. Free. Vernon Park, 5800 Germantown Ave. illadelallstarsreunion.com

PHILLYNOW Sunday, September 14 M U SIC

Melissa Ferrick Melissa Ferrick’s debut record, 1993’s Massive Blur, came because of one simple accident of fate: She was in the right place at the right time when notoriously prickly Morrissey booted a scheduled opening act from going on tour with him. Ferrick was there in a pinch— and it got her an Atlantic Records contract. But neither Blur nor her sophomore, Willing to Wait, did so hot commercially. Not surprisingly, at 25 she was dropped by her label for lackluster sales, and Ferrick went to a dark place. But after hitting rock bottom, she put down the booze and pills, signed to an indie and, in 1998, put out one of her career’s biggest accomplishments, Everything I Need. That LP earned Ferrick the distinction of the Gay and Lesbian American Music Award’s Album of the Year. She had a feature in The Advocate. She was back—and out. No one has ever questioned Ferrick’s musicality; she can play her heart out, mostly with acoustic guitar and brass. She’s also never slowed down to a stop, taking what might be considered a break with a 2010 cover album called Enough About Me. Yes, it’s fair to associate her with Ani DiFranco and the Indigo Girls because she’s opened for them. But she’s cited Janet Jackson’s The Velvet Rope as the direct inspiration for her 2000-released Freedom, and her bassful, measured delivery’s akin to Beth Orton’s woozy dreamscapes. Bet that some of the coolest lesbians in Philly willl be here tonight. // B.C. 8pm. $23. With Natalia Zuckerman. World Cafe Live, 3025 Walnut St. 215.222.1400. philly.worldcafelive.com

You know that dickhead that cut you off in traffic recently? You shouldn’t call him a dickhead. That type of anger-driven conflict is really incompatible with being happy. Studies have demonstrated that forgiveness therapy—where you deliberately try to empathize with and forgive those who you think have wronged you—makes you happier. That concept isn’t anything new, though. Faith traditions and spiritual programs have all said similar things for millennia. So, to promote this message, Philadelphia is participating in a week’s worth of peace-centered events, workshops and fellowship. Concerts and park events abound in outer neighborhoods, and there are mediation workshops and film screenings as close as Center City and as far away as Villanova; check its website for details. Participants are asked to use social media and hashtag posts about the week’s events or their thoughts about fostering peace with #PhillyLove. The week culminates on Sunday, Sept. 21 with Peace Day Philly, an event celebrated in conjunction with the United Nations Peace Day, a yearly event in which hundreds of millions of people worldwide are expected to participate. The City of Brotherly Love’s observance will take place at the People’s Plaza on Market between 5th and 6th streets. On that day, there will be free yoga, meditation,and speeches all centering on peace throughout the morning. At noon, there will be a moment of silence for peace followed promptly by a drum circle. Be encouraged to do nice things for other human beings throughout the week. These acts for peace will, ideally, foster peace and cooperation across the globe. But it starts at home. // JOSH KRUGER

According to Barron’s, “The formula [used] to rank advisors has three major components: assets managed, revenue produced and quality of the advisor’s practice. Investment returns are not a component of the rankings because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by each client’s risk tolerance. The quality-of-practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record.”The rankings are based on the universe of applications submitted to Barron’s. The selection process begins with a nomination and application provided to Barron’s. Principals of Edelman Financial Services LLC self-nominated the firm and submitted quantitative and qualitative information to Barron’s as requested. Barron’s reviewed and considered this information which resulted in the rankings on Aug. 27, 2012/Aug. 28, 2010/Aug. 31, 2009.

PW’s fall guide 2014

Cool reads: Crusaders, skulls, bees & aliens

rom the bizarre-but-true history of the city’s weirdest museum to a book of young-adult fantasy adventures whose protagonists span the full range of human diversity, it’s an exceptionally imaginative fall for new books by Philadelphia- and Pennsylvania-area authors. Philly’s beloved house of medical oddities, the Mütter Museum, isn’t just named to sound funny: It’s the namesake of “ex-traordinarily handsome” Thomas Dent Mütter, lo-cal 19th century plastic surgeon extraordinaire. The good doctor’s life and travels get a thorough examination in Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz’s Dr. Mütter’s Marvels. Aptowicz rightly grabs readers right off the bat, describing in the first chapter a transoceanic voyage wherein Mütter acquaints himself with a French noblewoman called the Widow Sunday. Her natural beauty was disguised by a “thick brown horn that sprouted from her pale forehead.” From there, Aptowicz takes readers on a journey through Mütter’s trailblazing, including his then pioneer use of anesthesia, sterilization of surgical tools, and his “compassion-based vision for helping the severely deformed.” Apparently, knowing full well how handsome he was, Mütter’s flamboyance accentuated his life, his eccentric ambition including “an immense” collection of medical oddities that would later form the basis of” the museum. When both Buzz Bissinger and Ed Rendell are calling your book “eloquent” and “insightful,” you’ve surely done something right. This is the case with Dan Rottenberg’s The Outsider, a comprehensive account of Albert M. Greenfield, a Jewish “Russian immigrant outsider” who took on the entrenched protestant establishment in Philadelphia and won. Greenfield’s built himself up from immigrant obscurity and into the leader of a business empire that once included ownership of Tiffany & Co. and the Bellevue-Stratford hotel on Broad Street. That power enabled Greenfield to

“cross social, religious, and ethnic boundaries with impunity,” his idealistic approach toward American institutions drawing the ire, and fiendish plotting, of entrenched foes, business and political. With chapters like “New Deal Democrat,” “Reluctant Zionist,” and a prologue and epilogue “Merion Station, December 1930,” Rottenberg’s deft, riveting treatment of Greenberg’s life is nothing short of a tour de force. Did you ever wonder what sort of trash your 1850 counterparts in Philadelphia were reading? English profes professors Matt Co Cohen and Edlie L. Wong figured that one out for you, and their presentation of the 1850 Philadel Philadelphia original The Killers deserves your consideration. Written over 150 years ago by “fiery novelist, labor activist, and reformer” George Lippard, The Killers is a lurid account of goings on in a city that once called Locust Street “Lurid Locust.” With historical, academic notes and commentary, the novel now reads like nerdy (in the best way) pulp novel, and Lippard’s original story takes readers on a “journey from the hallowed halls of academia at Yale College to the dismal solitary cells of Eastern State Penitentiary and through southwest Philadelphia’s community of free African Americans.” Scandalous for its time, Lippard’s serialized novel was the reality television of that day, with19th century whores, brutes, and highwaymen taking the place of today’s whores, brutes, and Wall Street bankers. What happened if your claim to fame was surviving being partially eaten by a cannibal, and now you’re out of the limelight? Or, you were once a supernatural storybook hero and now all you did today was eat pills like they were Pez? You’d likely need to find a therapist or support group. And, that is exactly what State College-based writer

Daryl Gregory envisions in his We Are All Completely Fine. The banality of modern psychoanalysis gets a serious rework with some intense violence, trauma, and good ol’ fashioned monsters called both “charming and horrifying.” Equal measures of comic book style fiction, zombie terror, and Gregory’s novella puts a group of outcasts with outlandish, horrifying backgrounds together in a support group led by psychotherapist Dr. Jan Sayer. In 1953, Chief Halftown was greeting children in Philadelphia and television was

enjoying its golden age. Award-winning science fiction writer James Morrow takes readers back to that year for another television character, Uncle Wonder, in his new novel The Madonna and the Starship. Uncle Wonder, played on television by protagonist Kurt Jastrow, greets children with fiery science experiments. His fan base isn’t just across the Eisenhower-era American nation, though: Unbeknownst to Kurt, and everyone else, distant aliens called Qualimosans enjoy Uncle Wonder’s antics. After all, every one of our >>>

>>> broadcast television signals, even the terrible ones, radiate into outer space. Venturing to earth to present Uncle Wonder with an award, the aliens boost Kurt’s ego until it becomes clear that they want to annihilate humanity, too. Described as a “wildly imaginative and generous novelist who plays hilarious games with grand ideas” by the New York Times Book Review, Morrow seems to be tickling readers with another wonderfully absurd, and unnerving, plot. Philadelphia food/sustainability activist and writer/editor Jon McGoran has been compared to Michael Crichton. McGoran’s newest thriller, Deadout, doesn’t just live up to that auspicious comparison: It improves on it. The novel is rife with themes eerily contemporary: genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and a dwindling honeybee population. In McGoran’s Martha’s Vineyard setting, first honeybees, then humans, start to go missing, with all signs pointing to one giant monster: In this case, a multinational biotechnology company called Stoma. A story thankfully not yet ripped from the headlines, Deadout presents readers with a race against time before that big ol’ conglomerate has time to spread its plans off of Martha’s Vineyard and to the mainland and—you guessed it— the world. Geeks come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and—most importantly for this book—ages. Kaleidoscope is a collection of twenty “fun, edgy, meditative, and hopeful” YA science fiction and fantasy stories featuring diverse leads. From a transgender animal shifter to a disabled superhero, the protagonists are more reflective of both humanity and geekdom. Philadelphia’s own E.C. Myers and Shveta Thakrar both have stories in Kaleidoscope, too, making it not just diverse but featuring some Philly flavor. Tom Purdom’s Lovers & Fighters, Starships & Dragons starts off with an introduction by acclaimed Philadelphia-based science fiction writer Michael Swanwick and takes off rightly from there. An imaginative literary album of twelve short-fictional portraits featuring characters—some familiar, others certainly not—grappling with the future and its challenges, Purdom’s long-overdue first collection is, in part, his life’s work. But, it’s more than that: It’s a fun, cosmic look into human emotion. While the times, and plots, might seem to be different, the themes of angst, love, fear, and violence weave throughout the collection, making for a satisfying foray into the fantastical. —JOSH KRUGER

PW’s fall guide 2014

The game’s afoot: Fall sports preview

t’s fall. And just like every other season of the seasonal year, there are sports to be played by professionals, watched by carnivores and analyzed to death by fucking everyone. Before you spend all week analyzing the three hours of football you watched the previous Sunday, consider the following.

The Phillies Still Exist! The Phillies have their worst team in a decade, and for you, that means a few things. First off, if you want to see a baseball game (purely because baseball is fun), you should. And assuming you get your tickets from a scalper or on StubHub.com, or another online ticket community, you can get it super cheap. Starting Sept. 11, the Phillies have seven home games this month—against the Marlins, Braves and Pirates. Then it’s over until next spring. Bad baseball is one thing, but if you have an inkling to see baseball of any sort, you may want to check out one of these sparse-seated games. The attendance over/under I’m making up for the last game of the Phillies season, on Sunday, Sept. 28, is 30,000. I’m taking under, but if I’m looking at the glass half full, I’d say just barely. It’s a 1:35 game, and will be played before the Eagles begin at 4:25pm. For the more-than-casual sports fan, a good day could be made by hitting the Phillies final game, then heading to XFinity Live! afterwards to watch the Eagles.

That said, given the amount of fantasy football and “RedZone” coverage, fans have become more likely than ever to want to watch football from the comfort of their own homes.

New “Talent”

The thrill of nine innings not doing it for you? Consider this: Assuming the Phillies have a future (which is a pretty big assumption), you get to watch it in action during September. The franchise recently called up seven players from the minors after rosters expanded last week. They include infielders Maikel Franco and Cesar Hernandez, pitchers Miguel Gonzalez and Luis Garcia, and outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr.—son, of course, of the recently departed Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn. OK, so baseball’s not your thing. We get it. It’s gotten hard to watch the stuff live since the Phillies signed their most recent contract with Comcast TV (if, like me, you only have basic antenna-tier cable), and some people look at America’s Pastime as the only sport where players could potentially take naps in the outfield, during play. Then you’re probably ready for football. The Eagles’ season began on Sunday, with the team playing one good half, one bad one; in both, quarterback Nick Foles failed to impress fans.

Big and Small Problems

Which isn’t to say we have more problems where that came from. If you’re in line with a recent

“Why Your Team Sucks” Deadspin article (note: sports site Deadspin did a “Why Your Team Sucks” article for every team), then you probably think picking up Mark Sanchez from the Jets to play backup quarterback is akin to most decisions the Phillies management has made over the last two seasons: It was stupid. The Birds also got rid of their best wide receiver, DeSean Jackson, this year. So expect big things out of him with the Redskins.

Chants Heard ‘Round the City Similarly, at least until the Eagles are statistically eliminated from the playoffs (or not; the three teams in their division are fucking terrible) you’re bound to hear E-A-G-L-E-S chants throughout the fall, whether you’re on the subway, in a bar, or in the bathroom at one of the remaining Phillies games.

New Rules Considering NFL players tend to die young, kill themselves, suffer the consequences of brain injuries or just generally live physically incapacitated lives after putting their bodies through hell for an average of 3.3 years—that is, assuming they’re not one of perhaps hundreds of pro-athletes who’ve picked the wrong sports agent and got their pissed their money away in a series of ponzi schemes and fucked up land deals some sports agents have become known (and gone to prison) for; in that case, they could end up broke, too!—the

11 Critical HomeHome Inspection 11 Critical Traps to be Aware of Inspection Traps to be WeeksofBefore Aware WeeksListing Before Listing Your Home for Sale Your Home for Sale Philadelphia- According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make reasonable

pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need To Know To Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.phillysbesthomes.com/ inspection.asp or to hear a brief recorded message about home to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free (800) 560-2075 and enter 3003. • You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

league has implemented new rules over the last few years. Rules meant to protect players from each other, and the super violent, bone-on-bone sport which they’ve chosen to make a living playing. The NFL decided to enforce more strictly “illegal contact” with receivers and “defensive holding” of receivers. That’s, of course, in addition to helmet-on-helmet laws that’ve been enforced over the years and the safe-guarded protection of (mostly white) quarterbacks. The new rules aren’t all bark, either. There was a 400 percent increase in illegalcontact calls and a more than 500 percent increase in defensive-holding penalties between the 2013 and 2014 preseasons. More illegal-contact penalties were called during the first two weeks of this year’s preseason than the entire 2013 regular season. The NFL has also been publicly pushing guidelines for players who misbehave off the field. Specifically, Commissioner Roger Goodell recently made an announcement that “violations of the Personal Conduct Policy regarding assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault that involve physical force will be subject to a suspension without pay of six games for a first offense, with consideration given to mitigating factors, as well as a longer suspension when circumstances warrant... A second offense will result in banishment from the NFL.” Which is something to keep in mind— especially, of course, in light of Ray Rice’s expulsion from the Ravens—even though these rules aren’t much different than the league’s old rules. Either way, a long-overdue public announcement regarding domestic abuse by players is a win for social justice.

Alt-Sports

But here’s the thing about football: It sucks! I mean, there are worse things to watch on TV (like Orange is the New Black), but as far as sports goes, it’s

pretty simple and repetitive. Not everyone’s that into it. If this is you, and you’re willing to travel this fall, there are all sorts of sports in the region you can check out. Here are a few of them: Philadelphia Women’s Rugby: Founded in 1976, PWRFC (the FC stands for “Football club”) is based in center City and will be playing mostly local games throughout September, October and November. The rules of rugby are pretty easy to pick up (it’s not just American football without pads) while watching, but you may want to familiarize yourself before heading to a game so you don’t miss anything. Check them out at PWRFC.org Philadelphia Union: With games throughout September and October, the Philadelphia Union professional soccer team probably won’t win the eastern division this year, but soccer can be fun as hell to watch—especially since the fans are completely devoted to the sport, which is somewhat different than football and baseball viewers. Best bar to watch games: 700 at 2nd and Fairmount. Roller Derby: There are four Philly Roller Girls teams and they’ve got some rolling to do this fall. On October 11th, Block Party will be playing Suburbia Roller Derby from Westchester, NY; and the Independence Dolls will be competing against the Denver Roller Dolls out of Denver—both matches take place at the 23rd Street Armory in South Philly. Then, on November 9th, the Independence Dolls will be playing a still to-be-determined team at Millennium Skate World in Camden, New Jersey. Club Sports: Philly Sport and Social is all about putting people together to play sports and socialize, and they’re damn good at it. This fall, if you’re nostalgic about playing soccer, kickball, dodge ball or all sorts of other –balls, you should check out PlayPhillySports.com. It could be cool. —RANDY LOBASSO

IN THEATERS SEPTEMBER 19TH

Action items: The season in politics

very fall since you’ve been alive, there’s been an election. Legislators of all sorts have gone back to work. School has begun. Cogs in the public system turn. That’s all happening here in Philadelphia, and here are a few civic lessons to pay attention to this fall.

Get on the train Hey, college kids— how’s college? Learning stuff? Playing Frisbee? Sleeping in bunk beds? Uh, something about gaining 15 pounds? Cool! Now it’s time to add something to your repertoire: Get on the train. Earlier this summer, the Southeast Pennsylvania Transit Authority began a Pilot program in which they ran the Market Frankford El line and the Broad Street Line 24 hours on weekends. This was great for your average summer weekend party human. Later trains meant you could stay out later without the prospect of paying for a carbide home, or, worse, ride the Night Owl bus, which we hear is the single thing Meatloaf would not do for love. On the surface, the program was a success. Post-midnight ridership rose about 150 percent. Problem: The increase didn’t exactly cover the costs of the new transit. According to figures provided to Philadelphia Weekly, 24-hour trains cost SEPTA about $34,000 more per weekend to run, and they brought in about $9,700 in new cash and token fares. The goal isn’t necessarily to break even (this is, after all, public transit), but it would be nice to get close. That’s where you come in. SEPTA has been waiting all summer, they told us, for you to get back, and spend your money on late-night train rides. “With college students back in town, with other riders resuming their normal routine after vacation and whatever they may be doing in the summer, we hope to see some additional ridership and some fare revenue increases to help offset those operating costs associated with operating overnight,” said SEPTA Public Information Officer Manny Smith. So, please, think about riding our trains. The current program goes until November 1. The power to extend it beyond that is in your hands.

(Governor’s) Race to the Bottom Republican Tom Corbett has been governor of Pennsylvania for over three years. And in that time, he’s managed to offend, well, just about everyone. Whether it was telling women to “close their eyes” and receive a governmentmandated pre-abortion ultrasound, or comparing same-sex marriage to incest, the gaffe-prone former Attorney General has provided the sorts of face-palms akin to teaching grandma how to use the Internet—except without Grandma’s swellness. Additionally, the governor has managed to lead the state from his executive position without raising taxes—a pledge he made to conser-

Same-sex oxymorons Pennsylvania is the only state in the country where a same-sex couple can legally get married—then be discriminated against for being married. Weird, but true. A judge overturned the state’s law on same-sex marriage earlier this summer, but it’s going to take the state Legislature to end the statewide discrimination laws—which say that you can be denied things like hous-

SEPTA has been waiting all summer for you to come back to town and spend your money on late-night train rides. vative activist Grover Norquist before his election in 2010. Who’s suffered? Kids, for sure. Philly schools, and school districts all over the state, have continually laid off teachers and other workers, while threatening to not open in time for the beginning of the schoolyear. Though the Philly district has attempted to push through a new tax on cigarettes to plug the budget hole, the state hasn’t allowed us to enact it, yet, and, even if it passed, it wouldn’t provide the full amount of cash needed. But some people are into that. Conservative groups in the state, like the Commonwealth Foundation and Americans for Prosperity have acted not just as apologists for the governor’s lack of apparent empathy for schools around the state—but have actually cheered him on. Americans for Prosperity actually argued public schools should not be given more funds because student performance isn’t up to some standards. Anyway, Corbett is up for election this fall. He’s going against Democrat Tom Wolf, a wishy-washy business owner who came out of nowhere with lots of money and slick commercials during the spring primary. At least partially because of Corbett’s

Equality PA, a statewide advocacy organization for LGBT people, has spent much of their summer traveling the Commonwealth, attempting to gain new support for an anti-discrimination law. Said legislation has been signed onto by about 100 lawmakers, but, sadly, is being held up by one particular right-winger who just won’t have any of it. Sure. Philadelphia has its own anti-discrimination laws (arguably the strongest in the country), as do townships and cities all over the state. But let’s say you, gay, lesbian, trans, bisexual, questioning or general queer person, wanted to travel from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and got tired along the way: You could be denied a stay at a hotel in Westmoreland County for being you! If you want to get married, the florist or bakery or whoever could deny you business for being happy with the person you love—examples of which have already happened in places that aren’t Philadelphia. There’s a chance that could change, if the situation is right. Either way, things have to come to a head sooner or later. —RANDY LOBASSO

PW’s fall guide 2014

New for autumn at Azie: a sake-marinated black cod with grilled peach. (Photo by J.R. Blackwell)

Eat this: Fall menus debut at Philly restaurants

t’s never really a bad time to take advantage of all that our region’s restaurants have to offer, but early autumn always seems to make for a particularly great time to do so: Late-summer produce is still generally available, but the cooler nights and less-than-scorching sun mean that chefs can start to dip a toe into the richer end of the flavor pool. In all senses of the cliche, it’s the best of both worlds. And this year, restaurants all over the Philadelphia area are taking full advantage of the change in seasons, with a range of preparations that could make even the most abstemious among us hungry for more. Here, then, are some of the ones we’ll be looking forward to the most. It’s far from an exhaustive list—for that, we’d need several pages of space—but it’s a start. And every one of these provides a pretty good idea of exactly how excited we should be to get to the serious work of eating our way through as much of it all as possible. (We’ll be drinking pretty well, too. But that’s a whole other column, one that we will be running shortly.) Chef Kevin Sbraga will be preparing a dry-aged duck for two this autumn, a stunning confit of leg with Rouennaise sauce

and accompanied by a minted fennel salad Aimee Olexy recently told me about the dry-aged duck at Talula’s Garden, which she and Executive Chef Jeremy McMillan are brilliantly pairing with sweet fingerling potatoes and a dry-fruit-and-pepper mole. Duck will also have a starring role in Chef Caitlin Mateo’s brunch at Square 1682, which, among other notable dishes, will include a Lancaster duck confit hash with over-easy eggs. Chef Lynn Rinaldi at Paradiso is whipping up homemade fusilli with dried cherries, brussels sprouts, and duck sausage. Birds in general look like they’ll have the season to shine: Petruce et al. is serving up a grilled quail with corn, pepper relish, smoked potato and ancient grains. Chef Joe Cicala will be utilizing wood-oven-roasted figs to accompany guinea hen and chestnut galantine at Brigantessa. And Chef Christopher Kearse wrote to me about a dish he has been “playing around with for years now” and that, this autumn, will show up at Will BYOB as a white quail from Wolfe Creek Ranch filled with oyster stuffing and smoked over hay, oak, and oak leaves. It will be served with an Albufera sauce crafted from foie gras, quail bones, cognac, and pistachio oil, and served with roasted sal-

sify and Cinderella pumpkin, as well as purees of black licorice and chestnut. Of course, autumn isn’t autumn without plenty of pork, and our local chefs are more than happy to oblige again this year. Mazumen-bacon will be one of the key offerings from Chef Hiroyuki “Zama” Tanaka at CoZara. Chef Tim Bennett at Gunners Run will feature caramelized apple and bacon pierogies with a honey-kissed sour cream. At Brauhaus Schmitz, Chef Jeremy Nolen will craft schweinhaxe, a crisp pork shank (skin on, of course!) with caramelized onions, beer-braised sauerkraut and fried potatoes. Also on the heartier side is Chef Townsend Wentz’s lamb en cocotte at his eponymous restaurant, a lovely roasted loin of lamb with pluots, apples, cherries, grapes and zucchini; as well as the chicken tinga burrito at Cafe Ynez from Chef J.C. Pina. The pork osso bucco from Chef Daniel Stern at R2L, a gorgeous preparation amped with pork juice and accompanied by torpedo onion and risotto, sounds fantastic and soul-warming. At Le Virtu, Chef Joe Cicala is simmering up a Santo Stefano di Sessanio lentil soup with Calabrian chillies and braised lamb neck. It’s not all heartier dishes this fall, however and even vegetarians (or just the gen-

erally meat-averse) have plenty to look forward to. Chef Paul Trowbridge is including scallops with pecans, creole mustard sauce, and andouille rice at Barren Hill Tavern and Brewery in Lafayette Hill. Chef Jorge Chicas is crafting homemade sweet potato ravioli with sage, pine nuts, brown butter, and an unexpected, exciting cameo from caramelized pineapple. At Azie in Media, Chef Kazuyuki Mitsui is working with sake-marinated black cod joined by grilled peach and ginger flavored brown rice, black garlic ponzu, braised turnip, and a honey sake puree. And at Bistro 7, Chef Michael O’Halloran, who recently completed significant work on his alwaysappealing Old City space (new lighting, refinished floors, chalkboard menu and more), will be featuring, among other standouts, a reimagined take on the classic fruit de mer, with granites, sauces and other condiments specifically crafted for each type of seafood. The moral here is this: You have no excuse not to gain at least 10 pounds between now and Thanksgiving. And with dishes as delicious as these, you should absolutely look at those extra ones as little badges of honor. I know I will. —BRIAN FREEDMAN

DRINK CITY

Year of Beer

Autumn Chill Fall means pumpkin ales— and other cool, fruity brews.

Yards PYNK. Drinking beer is good. Drinking beer and knowing some of the proceeds are going towards a good cause like breast cancer research? Priceless. Philly’s own Yards have cooked up a fine fruit beer that allows you to do exactly that called PYNK. Brewed with a ridiculous amount of cherries (both sweet and tart) and raspberries, the brew has a tart, refreshingly crisp taste that will please anyone who likes a heaping helping of fruit with their barley and hops. As its name implies, PYNK pours a pinkish red color. It opens with up front tartness that gives way to mild sweetness, then finishes with a dry, tart snap that simply delights. This is a fantastic fruit beer! The beer is currently available at over a dozen locations in the city, including Grey Lodge, as well as the Craft Beer Garden at the Allentown, N.J., Fall Festival on October 11 (where all five of this week’s beers will be featured).

Dogfish Head Punkin Ale. ‘Tis the season for pumpkin ales! Now that a wash of amazing pumpkin ales are upon us, from old standards like Saranac’s to newcomers like Starr Hill’s, all those pumpkin beer fans out there are going to be gravitating towards their favorites. For many of them, the first one they pick up will be Dogfish Head’s Punkin Ale—and who can blame them? The chewy, vegetal goodness of thick pumpkin is peppered with traditional pumpkin spices so that this beer tastes like a nice post-dinner treat, but not so much that it’s going to rot your teeth out. (We’re looking at you, Pumking.) Punkin was an aggressive pumpkin ale long before it became a trend, and it’s still one of the best. Try it at over a half-dozen locations, including Wrap Shack and Gunners Run.

River Horse Lager. The craft beer world may think of the lager as the bastard child of “real beer,” but thanks to the ubiquitous Yuengling Lager, aka “Lager,” beer drinkers in Pennsylvania would never make that mistake. New Jersey has its own home-grown lager, too, and while it doesn’t boast the rich history of PA’s, it’s still pretty damn good. We’re talking, of course, of River Horse lager, brewed just over the Delaware in Lambertville. Rich grains and grass, lightly herbal hops, and a finish like sweet biscuits make this a highly drinkable alternative to mainstays like Samuel Adams Boston Lager. It drinks easy, and at just 4.5 percent ABV you don’t have to stop after just two. Go put that to the test at Johnny Brenda’s.

Yards Cape of Good Hope. The City of Brotherly Love is not only host to some of the best beer bars on the East Coast, it’s also home to one of the best traditional brewers in the region. We’re talking Yards, and when they brew a classic style of ale it’s probably going to be good. Cape of Good Hope is a seasonal brew that varies from year to year, but one that is generally focused on celebrating the roots of the IPA style. This year’s is a robust, orange colored brew with sweet burnt caramel malts and resinous, pine-laden hops. Touches of citrus show through as well. The bitterness is sharp bordering on aggressive, but the malts keep the slightly odd hop profile—they use a few unusual strains—in check. See for yourself at Tria Taproom.

River Horse Hipp-O-Lantern. There are pumpkin ales and then there are imperial pumpkin ales, which are, as the name implies, pumpkin ales with the volume (and everything else) turned up to 11. New Jersey’s River Horse throws their hat into that obscure little ring with Hipp-O-Lantern, a robust 8.1 percent ABV beer brewed with loads of pumpkin puree and traditional pumpkin spices. Aromas of pumpkin and nutmeg give way to a full body, sweet pumpkin and spiky spices. Setting this one apart, however, is a subdued caramel quality and notes of vanilla. That, along with a dry finish, make Hipp-O-Lantern more than the usual “pumpkin pie in a glass” you tend to get this time of year—and that’s a welcome change of pace. See why this one is worth drinking at Fox and Hound. Follow PW’s Year of Beer online weekdays at: philadelphiaweekly.com/drinks

DRINK CITY Raise Your Glass

When life hands you lemons, make booze T

here are few happier surprises than when the owner of an Italian restaurant shows up at the table bearing two small glasses and a bottle of his or her homemade limoncello to offer you as a digestivo gift. It doesn’t happen as much as it used to, but when it does, and when you swallow that bracingly cold, electrically bright yellow elixir, any agita that the preceding meal might have caused is forgotten in a flash. The only problem, really, is that buying it in the store is a bit of a crap-shoot: In my experience, it’s as likely as not to be a bottle of cloyingly sweet lemon-flavored cough syrup, with a texture that coats the tongue and holds on for dear syrupy life. There are good ones out there, of course, but unless you’re familiar with the brand, it’s a risk you have to take. Kind of. Because there is another option: You can make your own. Which I recently did, and which I cannot recommend heartily enough. I learned many important things this past summer from spending the month of June in Italy’s Puglia region, but the ease with which anyone can produce their own limoncello is the first one that I’ve put into action back home in Philadelphia.

The hardest part really, is the wait. Find yourself a 750ml bottle of 190-proof grain alcohol, purchase a bag of organic lemons, pick up a Microplane, and get to work. Shave the yellow part from the peels of 7 or 8 lemons, depending on how big they are, spoon them into the bottle of booze, seal it up, and place it in a cabinet. Every few days, turn it upside down so that the peels mix up with the alcohol, and then replace it back into the cabinet. Do this for 3 or 4 weeks. Afterward, mix up a simple syrup that, when finished, comes to approximately 1500ml in volume. Let it cool, and add the lemon-flavored grain alcohol to it in a large bowl (gently pouring it through a mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter). Gently mix it all up, filter again through another coffee filter, and bottle it. I found some great ones at The Container Store, swing-top glass flasks of 250ml each, that don’t take up too much room in the freezer and that make fantastic gifts. The only problem with this sort of project is that you may find yourself drinking a lot more than you did before you had such easy access to custom-made limoncello. But it’s summer, the dog days of it: If not now, then when? // BRIAN FREEDMAN

MUSIC

Built for the Road Killer garage/punk duo The Pack A.D. brings its bombast to Underground Arts. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com

“

The good-time girls: The Pack A.D.’s Maya Miller (left) and Becky Black.

It’d be pretty hard to be unhappy with “Battering Ram,” a standout from Engage that nicely encapsulates where they are now, which is sickening. The accompanying video also nicely visualizes what must be their reality: shit clubs, van life, freakshows, bouncers, fights. Or at least, they’re not distancing themselves from the mystique of a rough ‘n tumble pair who are not to be fucked with. And then there’s the month-old video for “Rocket,” which plays with a Mad Max notion of survival, with Black and Miller looking like futuristic warriors who’ll be the last ones standing when the credits roll. As guitars churn and burn and relentless percussive pounding soundtracks their rage-filled desert destruction fantasy, their lips snarl at the corners and full-throated screams communicate an inherent rage that knows one avenue: Creativity. With a handful of hot records under their studded belts and the momentum of multiple road trips, these two are determined to have some ears ringing the following morning after their gig. Fueled by an uncanny drive to tour non-stop and a well-produced record, The Pack A.D. may not be the headliners Saturday night—but they’re who I’m going out to see.  Sat., Sept. 13, 9pm. $15. With Man Or Astro-Man? + Wray. Underground Arts at the Wolf Building, 1200 Callowhill St. undergroundarts.org

“It’s just like friends hanging out. We didn’t go out looking for producer, let’s put it that way,” says Miller. “We were friends first, and it kind went from there, and that’s how we try to approach everything with our music.” “We like the same things, I think. We have the same ideas,” says Black. “He likes to bring out a lot of low end, and every choice that he makes, I’m like ‘Yeah, that’s a great idea.’ There’s a good connection there, I guess.” Ya think? This one, or the next one, could be the records that bring The Pack A.D. more fully into themselves as post-punk thrashers with a discerning editorial eye. It was Unpersons that earned them their first Juno nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year in 2013. But their last three, including 2010’s We Kill Computers, are probably the only records you’ll hear tonight. They’re not too keen on their first two: 2008’s Tintype and Funeral Mixtape. “I guess some bands never change but, I don’t know, I think most bands do. You’ve gotta keep trying new things or it’s just boring,” says Black. “We’ve been getting more straight-up rock, I think, and I guess a little weirder,” says Miller. There may be weirdness in the sentiment, but these records are not weird. They’re polished and focused, a beautiful mix of classic punk and simplistic thrash. “Let’s put it this way – I don’t hate this album yet, and I usually hate them fairly quickly,” muses Miller.

e record an album, and then we kinda have nothing to do except tour. This is our only job. We’re itching to tour,” says Becky Black, the axe-shredder and vocalist for Vancouver’s The Pack A.D. And tour they do. You’ve got to love a band with discipline and dedication. They just finished a spring tour with Alice in Chains, announced some more fall dates with Tokyo Police Club, and on Saturday night at Underground Arts, they’re supporting Man Or Astro-Man?, who sound like a reanimated Dick Dale on a mouthful of acid. The Pack A.D.’s latest and first on Nettwerk Records, January’s Do Not Engage, is excellent. Their fifth LP and the third that they’ll allow themselves to play on tour (more on that later) is a very appropriate follow-up to the flawlessness of 2011’s Unpersons. When I first heard it, I was floored. I’d found a new favorite band. They’re brash and loud but clean and tight, cathartic and propulsive but not sloppy or unintelligible, a little angry and jilted but not bitter or blaming. Black and badass drummer Maya Miller pushed themselves on their latest LP, and they say it’s not a conscious effort to go in any direction other than forward. “We never really consciously have a plan of action. If you call a plan of action ‘just get better,’ then that’s the plan we went with for this album,” says Miller. There’s a great press photo of them climbing out of a lake, fully dressed, carrying a suitcase and a CB radio dispatcher. Miller tends to wear blazers and ties and looks about as serious one can about being in a killer rock duo. Black reminds me of Leisha Hailey, onehalf of Uh Huh Her and a star of The L Word, and that’s no coincidence—I’m 99-percent sure The Pack A.D. is very much on board with PJ Harvey and everything about her. They’ve drawn comparisons to some likely duos: The Black Keys, The White Stripes, and other Black-touched iterations like The Kills or Dead Weather. It’s not unfounded, and, in fact, on Do Not Engage, Miller and Black worked with Jim Diamond. Diamond’s produced some Stripes stuff and also worked aside The Mooney Suzuki, The Dirtbombs and Electric Six.

STAGE

Barrymore Awards Aren’t Ballyhoo Theatre Philadelphia’s annual celebration of the best in local stage wants to leave a more lasting impression. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com

“

or me, what makes Philadelphia an exceedingly unique theater town is the connectivity and the cross-pollination of the artists that live and work here,” says Charlie DelMarcelle, an actor nominated for two pretty big Barrymore Awards: Outstanding Leading Actor in a Play and Outstanding Leading Actor in a Musical. “It’s almost like the city is one gigantic ensemble, and the work that comes out of that ensemble is deeper and more resonant because of that familiarity and connection and comfort.” The 2014 Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theatre, born out of Theatre Philadelphia and awarded every year since 1994, announced this year’s nominations late last month, and they include 140 nominations in 26 categories. They are, in so many words, Philadelphia’s own Tony Awards, set for Monday, Oct. 27 at the Kimmel Center. And they’re good for more than just a reason to put on a tux and give an acceptance speech. The F. Otto Haas Award for an Emerging Philadelphia Theatre Artist, for instance, awards a $10,000 cash prize to the winner and another $1,000 for each finalist. The Virginia Brown Martin Philadelphia Award “seeks to honor those plays that best lead audiences to a better understanding of the unique experience of particular segments of our global community,” according to their press release, and carries a $25,000 cash reward. The winner of the June and Steven Wolfson Award for an Evolving Theatre, for theatres that have a max budget of $400,000, also collects $10k. Nearly $53,000, all provided by donors (hence the names of the awards), is being handed out, and part of it is to explicitly compel extraordinary artists to stay put. “We like you. Stick around. Put down your roots here, and let’s create together,” says DelMarcelle, of what winning these awards communicates from Theatre Philadelphia and from the peers who choose them as winners. “I know that sounds a little Pollyanna, but I really believe it.” DelMarcelle’s play nod came from Theatre Horizon’s I Am My Own Wife; his musical honor was born out of his role in Inis Nua Theatre Company’s Midsummer [a play with songs], and he’ll gladly rejoice if A Child’s Christmas in Wales, as produced by Lantern Theater Company, takes home a win for Outstanding Ensemble in a Play. That’s three different companies and three different productions. Phew. That’s a lot of talent-sharing. “Philadelphia is remarkable in that it’s a very collaborative community. You see how many artists work for different theaters and wear different hats for different theaters,” says Terry Nolen, producing artistic director of the Arden Theatre and vice-president of Theatre Philadelphia. In their 27th year of productions, the Arden did quite well with nominations this year. The list is lengthy: Best ensemble noms for both play and musical, best musical direction and choreography for Parade and shoutouts for scenic (David Gordon for Sideways Stories from Wayside School), lighting (Allen Hahn for Sideways Stories and Thom Weaver for Parade) and sound design (Jorge Cousineau for Sideways Stories and Daniel Perelstein for Parade). “Parade is a show that we’ve talked about doing for at least a decade, and we knew we needed a superstar ensemble to make that work. We were able to put an extraordinary group

together,” says Nolen, admitting that he knew he wanted Ben Dibble to play Leo Frank. It was the first phone call he made. “The ongoing relationships we have with artists is the most important thing to us and has resulted in our most exciting work.” For lots of actors, directors, writers, designers and companies, the ensemble nominations are appreciated the most deeply. “The idea” of a group feat, DelMarcelle explains, is “the piece collectively spoke to the audience and speaks to the energy in the room and speaks to collaborative creation.” “You hear it said quite a bit that folks find the ensemble nomination the most meaningful,” says Nolen, “and I think that’s true in Philadelphia. It’s indicative of how this community values the collective effort and how a group of artists come together and really bring their collective energies to bring a piece to life.” The Barrymore Award nomination process, by the way, is extremely involved, but also transparent. Fifty nominators and 12 judges wade through 100 professional productions and 450 artists. Plays that get a “yes” vote in any award category by at least five nominators becomes Barrymore Recommended. “If a show becomes Barrymore Recommended, then the 12

judges all see it,” said Nolen, “and if that happens, then that show becomes Barrymore-eligible and folks can use that in their marketing material.” Theatre Philadelphia is trying to make the Barrymores bigger than an award show. They want arts-hungry Philadelphians to look to Barrymore recommendations for productions that are still running. And Nolen’s seen Philly’s theater community explode before his very eyes. “It’s great for us that we have 1812 [Productions’ Intimate Exchanges] here right now. The Fringe obviously opens two blocks away. Christ Church Neighborhood House is here,” he says. “When we first moved here to Old City [from what’s now the Lantern Theater] there was Painted Bride and us.” Not so anymore. “That sense of being a vibrant community—it’s really awesome.” DelMarcelle also thinks its this vibrancy that encourages people to take risks and give new ideas a shot “because you can, because you feel safe.” Of course, the Barrymore Awards themselves are also a little shot of encouragement, too. “To have an event that says ‘What you did last year—way to go, good job?’” says DelMarcelle. “It feels really great.” 

The Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University and Prostate Health International’s Gary Papa Run are offering free prostate screenings as part of a research program. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. Screening is important because prostate cancer shows no symptoms in its earliest stages. Many organizations recommend prostate health assessment as part of men’s healthcare. Free screenings, including a blood test for prostate specific antigen (PSA), testosterone and cholesterol and a digital rectal exam, will take place at the following two locations: • Wednesday, September 17, 2014, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – Bodine Building, 111 South 11th Street, Center City • Friday, October 3, 2014, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Jefferson at the Navy Yard – 3 Crescent Drive, Suite 100, South Philadelphia Registration is required. To register for your free screenings, or for more information, call 1-800-JEFF-NOW.

SCREEN REVIEW

Love is Strange Love is Strange is a quiet slice-of-life about married couple Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina), whose relationship is tested when real estate troubles force them to bunk separately. Despite its stellar lead performances and its nuanced family dynamics, it’s largely made headlines because the MPAA gave it a surprising R. Let’s hope the notoriety works in its favor, then, and that Love is Strange finds as wide an audience as possible because so lovely a film deserves it. In some ways, it seems at first to be a distinctly New York City flick, with astronomical rents, the housing office played for knowing nods and co-op boards treated like evil wizards with bylaws. But that’s merely the Macguffin to get to the good stuff, as director Ira Sachs makes Ben and George so effortlessly engaging that their separation is as lonely as it is illuminating. The movie also, wisely, paints the friends and family who take them in with equal sympathy. It’s an unfamiliar orbit for all, from which the awkward conflicts emerge with wry understanding. In particular, Ben finds himself in the middle of his nephew’s family and their strained equilibrium, including Marisa Tomei as the matriarch dealing with an indefinite house guest. (Never fear, there’s still romance—and amid the strains of separation, every meeting between Lithgow and Molina becomes a deep breath, full of the comfortable thrill of reconnection.) At one point, Ben admits to George, “When you live with people, you know them better than you care to,” and trailers have made it the movie’s de facto catchphrase. Aside from the implicit joint solitude romance offers, the greatest triumph of Love is Strange is how deeply it makes us feel both the truth of it and the poignant, understated love that underscores it all. (Genevieve Valentine) REVIEW

The Drop “That’s life. People like me come along when you’re not looking.” Not a particularly comforting sentiment, but The Drop is very much about the terror of losing what little comfort you have. Bitter small-timer Marv (James Gandolfini) and withdrawn Bob (Tom Hardy) run a bar Marv used to own, handle drops for the mobsters that own it now and try to keep their heads down. Of course, this is a crime drama, so that won’t last long. The Drop feels intentionally nostalgic. Practically everyone, including the ones on the other side of the thin blue line, wearily yearns for the days when crime wasn’t quite so criminal. Director Michaël Roskam makes the setting equally familiar, framing the well-worn wood-and-neon bar with the weight of a church confessional and finds bleak Brooklyn corners at every turn. Screenwriter Dennis Lehane is no stranger to gritty dramas about the far-reaching consequences of crime in hardscrabble neighborhoods, where dread becomes claustrophobic long before the reckonings start. But the film’s greatest drive comes from its fantastic lead performances. Gandolfini brings his usual depth to Marv, trying to avoid the truth of his lost glory, and Hardy matches him with a repressed intensity, a darkly-comic rapport that anchors the film. Hardy’s slim hopes arrive in the form of a beaten pitbull puppy he pulls from the garbage, and neighbor Nadia (Noomi Rapace), the one person the isolated Bob seeks out. And as things shift between them in the wake of these changes, Gandolfini and Hardy make tense, subtle work out of the fulcrum of uncertainty they know puts everything at risk. A parable of the wages of sin that trades handily on the long history of the genre’s sentimentality about honor among thieves, The Drop is quiet—and quietly gripping. (G.V.)

Rated: Love and the MPAA This mature, lovely film for all ages got a R rating, despite the lack of violence or sex. Wonder why. By Genevieve Valentine // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

ove is Strange, a beautiful, nuanced slice of life drama about newlyweds Ben and George and the found families around them, comes out this week. It’s one of the most mature comedies I’ve seen this summer, relying less on gut-busters than on sly, understated moments that are simultaneously funny and wrenching. It’s also rated R. Given that it has no violence, almost no profanity and no sexual content, the rating has gotten some notice. Why, it would seem that it got rated as inherently “adult” simply for being about a gay couple! Sadly, almost no one is surprised. The assignment-at-will of ratings by a board of unknowns was the subject of 2006’s documentary This Film is Not Yet Rated, which took the MPAA to task for arbitrary, obscured decision-making. Several filmmakers appeared to discuss the specifics on which their films had been given the dreaded NC-17, often the kiss of death for wide distribution—and thus, any hope of a profit. The notes were depressingly expected; violence seemed perfectly acceptable for mainstream audiences, while women deriving pleasure from sex or any sort of homosexual romantic content was grounds for raising the defenses. The film’s most telling sequence is a shot-for-shot comparison of sex scenes—all those involving straight sex were rated R, and anything queer got an NC-17. Of course, one of the main complaints the movie makes is how vague the MPAA is allowed to be about something so crucial. Mary Harron received notes about “the entire tone of the film” for American Psycho; she later discovered the note applied not to the murders, but the threesome. However, as there’s nothing in Love is Strange that could be considered sexual—save one brief moment of a married couple debating whether they can get away with having sex in a guest room, after which they snuggle chastely— another MPAA note from the documentary comes most sharply to mind: “Aberrational behavior.”

It’s a term that hearkens back to the control and classification system that predated ratings: the Hays Production Code, enacted in 1930, which forbade religious profanity, miscegenation, homosexuality, “ridicule of the clergy” and childbirth. It also included a clause regarding “willful offense to any nation, race, or creed,” which begs questions about how many films released under its auspices ever got made. (The Hays Code did use this clause to reject anti-Nazi films until Warner Brothers used FBI papers as grounds to greenlight 1939’s Confessions of a Nazi Spy.) The Code didn’t expressly blacklist the branding “of people or animals,” sympathy for criminal types and safe-cracking, but strongly cautioned against them. The absurdity of this menu of the forbidden, taken together, reads exactly like the morality play it was meant to be. It was also a code regularly broken by moviemakers outside the studio system, as well as sidestepped with sly workarounds that have made movie history. (The kiss scene from Notorious had a dozen kisses that clocked in at the requisite three seconds each.) Occasionally, however, the Code would make a suspiciously serendipitous change that would later accommodate a major studio release, such as the amendment allowing “damn” to be used except as “offends good taste”—a loophole passed a month before the release of the blockbuster Gone with the Wind. By the 1950s, the Hays Office had lost its once-absolute powers, and changing social norms meant that the clauses listed in the Code were enforced less and less strictly. However, a prevailing concern among the makers of queer film in Not Yet Rated is that their movies were being punished, not for their content, but for their very premise, as if the very presence of homosexuality is dangerous. It’s an absurd notion, until it isn’t. Until the MPAA can catch up with this social norm, please know you can go see Love is Strange with a light heart. Bring the kids. 

We love to hate those annoying bastards. But who is it, really, we’re hating?

hether we admit it or not, we all want very much to be part of, instead of apart from, something bigger than ourselves. We see it here in Philadelphia in the way we steadfastly—sometimes mind-numbingly—support our sports teams. Nationwide, we see it in our obsession with red or blue states, political ideologies, party affiliations—even the big-box retailers at which we shop. Which one are you: Walmart or Target? It says a lot. Or, rather, we’d like to think it says a lot. More often than not, though, we define ourselves by what we are not rather than what we are. For instance: Working class people will often say something like: “We don’t have much, but we’re certainly not poor.” Or: “I’m a Republican, but I’m not one of those crazy Tea Party types.” Or even: “I live in Fishtown, but I’m not one of those people.” Those people, of course, would be hipsters. I have searched far and wide, and I cannot find an actual, bona fide, self-described hipster. I have found many people, though, who are loudly not hipsters. Many of these people also have rabid disdain for hipsters. But what, precisely, is a hipster? You cannot answer that particular question—because no satisfactory answer exists. Pointing this out in the socialist quarterly journal Jacobin (hippies), Anthony Galluzzo asserts that the concept of a hipster is, itself, a “catchall figure” that typically finds its roots in “anti-intellectualism ... subtle homophobia, and recognizably manipulative appeals to white, middle class resentment.” Personally, speaking as a homosexual intellectual, I’d like to say that I fucking hate hipsters and my hatred sure isn’t rooted in “subtle homophobia” or “anti-intellectualism.” Then again, since I believe no such person as a hipster actually exists, my hatred of them is sort of irrelevant. Still, I sure do get riled up about these non-existent people, who are defined almost exclusively in the denunciations of those who don’t want to be thus defined themselves. To me, a hipster is basically someone who wallows in insincerity, aesthetically fetishizing the surface trappings of Depression-era hardship rather than finding a useful way to contribute to society. They are droll. They love kitsch. They knit so that you’ll know they’re someone who knits. And the personal style points are oftentimes accented by avantgarde, miserable-on-the-face living arrangements; think West Philly vegan anarchist queer communes or open-floorplan lofts with five people sharing one bathroom. Look at that motherfucker with his handlebar mustache using a seatbelt for a fucking backpack strap. Look at him sitting there, just breathing. Asshole. It’s important to note that plenty of people live in avantgarde housing arrangements and quirky style out of necessity: I myself shop often at thrift stores for clothes, and I’ve lived several times in my life without access to on-demand hot water or heat or, frankly, even a house. Of course, I developed an appreciation for quirkiness and thrift not because a college text on liberation theory inspired me, but because I had no other choice. And yes, living on the fringe is charm-

ing in its own self-serving way. Then you get tired of it, and you want some fucking air conditioning and your own toilet to squat on, one that you’re not sharing with half a dozen bicycle couriers or crackheads. (Okay, maybe that last bit was just me.) The key point to my concept of a hipster, though, is the insincerity; the style points are completely secondary and negotiable. After all, there are plenty of people I’d like to shake my fists at, bitterly stage-whispering, “Fucking hipster,” who are riding bicycles I myself could not afford. On the flip side, there are plenty of skinny people who drink PBR and are awesome human beings. And there are plenty of people who knit mittens for kittens who aren’t doing so to be droll—they just really fucking love their kitten. That’s awesome. Because it’s sincere. So if a lot of folks who look like my idea of a hipster do things that are awesome and sincere, why do I desperately want to hate these motherfuckers? Here’s the hard answer: Because I, too, fall prey to the temptation to define myself in opposition to others, rather than doing the much harder work of building my own identity. This sociological funhouse hall of mirrors distorts my perceptions of other people and reflects back onto me my own deep insecurities about myself. It also explains why people I’d call hipsters often, and ironically, hold great disdain for “bros”—another completely meaningless and unidentifiable term. How ironic is it that one made-up group goes around dehumanizing another made-up group in order to define itself—and a third stands apart from both doing the same? That dude’s not a bro but he’s definitely a douchebag, so he must be a hipster! But that’s just not true. Sincerity comes in all shapes, interests, and activities. Jocks with popped collars can be sweet gentlemen, Etsy knitters aren’t all crazy cat ladies, and skinny-jeans wearing Fishtowners are just as profound, or shallow, as the next guy. It’s not these identities or outward expressions we have a visceral negative reaction to: It’s the perceived fakeness-for-the-sake-of-belonging pigeonholing we want to hate. Just as I might have a knee-jerk reaction against mustachioed waifs drinking terrible beer, you might have a gnarly disdain when you see a pack of polo-shirted bros rolling from one pub to the next. In both cases, it’s our detection of pack mentality that turns us off. And, in both cases, it’s a completely unfair characterization that goes both ways. People wallow in these imposed identities, and they project similar identities onto others. In both cases, it boils down to one thing: poserdom. And as we see all around us, poserdom transcends all types. At the end of the day, we’re none of these things, bros or hipsters or jocks or whatever. We’re us. And we should resist the impulse to box anyone, least of all ourselves, into a neat category—for when we do, we open the door to drawing divisions between and among us that simply don’t need to exist. We’re human beings. Maybe we should just see each other as such. ■

ow much of the way people react to you is based on your appearance? How do your body, clothes and makeup determine the assumptions made about what type of person you are, and, therefore, what opportunities you can snag? The only way to find out is to drastically change your looks. Just ask someone who used to be fat, gets braces or, in my experience: dyes their hair neon yellow, orange and red. I don’t know if anyone has ever asked you “why?” about your hair, but 90 percent of the times I’ve heard it have been in the last month. That is, since my amazing hairstylist, Liberty (of Hello! Anti-Salon in South Philly) colored my head 6 six different bright shades. The effect is the appearance of fire, some cross between Leeloo from Fifth Element, Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and an anime character. Within moments of leaving the salon, I got my first unsolicited comment. A random guy casually offered, “Cool hair.” This is not a thing that happens to me. Catcalling? Sure. As a female cyclist in a big city, there are an abundance of “compliments” shouted at me about my body and the ways in which it could be ideally utilized. THAT is my normal. But to have a strange male say something nice about my looks and then not expect anything back? Huh. But this became my new reality: dudes approaching me purely to say, “Excuse me, Miss. I like your hair.” What? Did the dye transport me to a different version of the multiverse? In Philadelphia in the past month, I’ve only been catcalled twice. Once I was asked, “Hey, wifey, how you doing?” (I was fine, thank you), and some construction worker on Spruce shouted “Legs!” In his defense: I do have them, so he was right. Notably, it was also a time my head was covered by a bike helmet. What orange hair has to do with this, I can’t venture to guess. They weren’t expressing sexual attraction, but admiration. Do I now look like I belong in a more respectable class? Does willingness to break convention communicate some kind of personality trait they admire? Not everyone was a fan. Multiple people with scrunchedup foreheads inquired about how easy it would be to change back. A Pilates student greeted me with, “Is this some kind of statement?” My eternally supportive mother expressed concern about the effect I’d have on family pictures at an upcoming wedding. Don’t worry, Mom, I’m some obscure cousin visiting from the East Coast, I won’t be in any pictures. So we don’t have to have the awkward conversation about whether we’re obligated to shape our bodies to be inoffensive to others. Although I immediately loved the look, the change was jarring, having been a redhead my entire life. Each time I walked past a reflective surface, I was startled by the vivid flash. Yes, the color was intense, but even more, my conception of how I existed in the world was somehow altered, though nothing was different but the tint of the protein filament on my head. It was a bigger change than when I got my master’s degree, despite being ultimately temporary and entirely superficial. Hair carries a crazy amount of meaning to people. Sup-

posedly, it can make or break professionalism, delineate who is and is not beautiful, determine whether a person is read as masculine or feminine and communicate your political beliefs from 100 feet away. To some, hair loss is a tragedy, comparable to losing an appendage, though functionally, it does nothing but keep your head warm. Aware I would be read by strangers differently, I became more concerned with dressing up and wearing makeup. Even in South Philly, where pajamas are the uniform, it was important that no one mistook me. My best friend, with her thick locks and facial piercings, does the same thing. Though no one ever suggested it to her, she instinctively dresses more formally than any of her co-workers out of fear that she otherwise wouldn’t be taken seriously. Right now, it’s fashionable to wear clothing in bright coral or even glowing neon tones. I’ve been in a number of rooms where shirts and shoes matched my new hair exactly. It’s doubtful anyone asks them “Why?” or whether they were making a statement. I once had a boss who told me I couldn’t have black nail polish because it was “offensive.” So clearly we aren’t always logical or consistent about our reactions to these things. But that’s a big piece of the appeal for me: that I am wearing an un-missable glowing sorting device that allows me to know instantly whether people value or fear difference. Plus, it fucking looks cool. And that should be worth something. 

Hot Apple Pie Drinks & Shots featuring Fireball and Dr. McGillicuddy’s Apple Pie Schnapps Sponsored by:

s I photograph the technical rehearsal of Suspended, the staff of the dance-theatre troupe Brian Sanders’ JUNK reminds me that the run-through is not the full show: For example, rather than slapping each other with the large slabs of beef they’ll be wielding onstage, performers at rehearsal use long sponges of soapy water. Props notwithstanding, though, if the dancers perform the same incredible feats of strength and grace in the athletic, erotic dance that they’re showing off now—handstands in large wooden tubs, for instance, illuminated by candlelight—audiences are in for an impressive show. That’s especially true for those sitting in the front row, who’ll recline in plastic lawn chairs—the perfect viewpoint for when the performers plummet towards the audience, only to bounce upward back towards the ceiling among a shower of silver ribbon. Be warned, though: When wet towels are brought into the dance, the room becomes something of a splash zone. The show runs through Sept. 20 at 2040 Christian St.

SAVAGE LOVE By Dan Savage // mail@savagelove.net I am a man who tends to ejaculate prematurely. Not all the time—but at least 50 percent of the time, I’m good for two to three minutes and then I REALLY have to be careful. I’ve learned to manage it and work around it (like, stop if I’m too close and eat her out to give me some time to relax, etc.), but it’s still a pain in the ass. I have a theory about this: I am not circumcised. I know that circumcised cocks are more desensitized, as they tend to rub on everything all the time. Could my problem be related to the fact that for the first 20 years of my life, my cock had never been in direct contact with anything? Are there tricks that exist to help me with this problem? Unexposed Nub Could Upset Timing You’re already doing everything premature ejaculators are urged to do: You’re paying close attention to your arousal levels, you’re being careful not to rush past the point of no return (or past the point of “orgasmic inevitability”), you’re taking fuck breaks as needed and eating a little pussy (not recommended for gay premature ejaculators). Those are the “tricks that exist” to help guys like you, and it sounds like you’ve mastered them. And while the heads of circumcised cocks tend to be less sensitive, studies of men circumcised in adulthood have found no link between circumcision and premature ejaculation.

You’re in luck: There is an app for married people who want to cheat on their partners—with or without their partners’ permission—and I’m pretty sure you’re already familiar with this particular app, NEWBY, as it’s been around for a while. It’s called “The Internet.” This app can direct you to websites for cheaters (Ashley Madison), websites for kinksters (FetLife) and regular dating websites where married people in open relationships are free to advertise for new partners (OkCupid).

A gay dude who fucks you once and refuses to fuck ever again isn’t that into fucking, isn’t that into you

“They” can be used as a singular pronoun—Shakespeare did it—but if it makes you crazy, GGG, there’s a simple solution to your dilemma: “My friend Chris, who prefers gender-neutral pronouns, is going to the mall. I sure hope Chris has a good time.” I agree with your advice to SNAP, the poor guy whose wife shames him for watching porn, but there’s just one little thing. I’m a porn-positive woman in my 30s. But when I was still married, my husband once got out of bed while having sex with me to watch porn. He felt himself flagging, so he switched on his computer and watched porn until he got it up again. This was not one of the countless reasons I dumped the motherfucker, but I have to say that it amounted to taking a bullhorn and yelling: “You’re not sexy enough! I’d rather be sleeping with one of these porn actresses!” Is it unreasonable to ask that my partner wait until he’s done with me? Pissed-Off Romance Ninja Your husband’s problem wasn’t porn. It was insensitivity. And cluelessness. And selfishness. But for the record: It is not unreasonable to ask your partner to save the porn for “alone time,” and there’s no excuse for cruelty and inconsideration—about porn or anything else. But some couples do manage to incorporate porn into their “together time,” as the next letter demonstrates ... It’s not always the wife who dislikes porn. I’m a straight married guy and I don’t like porn. I’m rare, I know, but I exist. My wife started watching it in order to rev up her libido. But porn isn’t a source of conflict for us. She watches porn alone or she very sweetly asks me to go down on her while she watches porn on her tablet. Either I get myself off with my hand while getting my wife off with my tongue (usually what happens), or she gets so horny that she wants to be fucked (less frequent, always nice). We have good regular sex, too. Routine And Regular Erotica Thanks for sharing, RARE.

I am 62 years old, fit, handsome and intelligent. I’m also as horny as a 17-year-old. My committed boyfriend/husband-to-be of 10 years is 41. I met him at a men’s club when he was wearing nothing but a towel, and we had great sex. We haven’t had sex since that first date. He is beautiful: Asian with a bit of Spanish, perfectly proportioned, athletic, smart, playful—my little brown prince. He is from a culture that is very private and puts on a happy face—always. It’s hard for me to get inside and crack that stubborn nut. I would love nothing more than to make love to him. Some things are impossible to put into words, and lovemaking expresses so much. Nine Outta Ten

I have a couple of relatively close friends who prefer to use gender-neutral pronouns, which they define to be “they/them/their.” Now, I wouldn’t have a problem with this, and I know people will often use “they/them/their” in regular speech when they are unsure of gender or want to include all genders, but it really makes speaking English awkward; “they/them/their” are all PLURAL, while “he/him/she/her” are SINGULAR. So for instance: “My friend Chris is going to the mall. I hope they has a good time.” The sentence is confusing. I’m OK with the idea of people being gender-neutral, but I also think following the rules of grammar is important, since language is probably the most important way of communicating.

I’m a straight, vanilla 29-year-old woman, happily married to a kinky bi guy for six years, together for 13. He is free to sleep with other men, and I consider myself GGG—turning him on turns me on. My husband has a cuckold fetish, and we role-play all the time. I would really love to make this fantasy a reality! My question is: How/where the fuck do I find someone? I don’t want to pick up some random, since I want to be as safe as possible. I feel completely lost. I just want to cuckold my husband! Why can’t there be an app for that? Non-Experienced Wife Begs You

or isn’t turned on by men he actually knows. Some gay men are aroused only by anonymous sex—you know, the kind of sex you two had on your first “date.” Some gay men overcome that sexual handicap, others don’t. If your “little brown prince” (erm) hasn’t managed to overcome it 10 years into this relationship, NOT, I doubt he ever will.
