Feedback Band Together Regarding last week’s Defend Its Existence music column about rock band Incubus: Incubus is one of my all time favorite bands and I can’t believe I never really noticed the message behind this album.

Like you, I’m also in a sort of transitional “limbo” between college and adulthood. Putting so much time and energy into making something of myself has been exhausting and sometimes leads to disappointment, failure and big questions about which path will make me happiest. Pressure from outsiders with their own expectations of me doesn’t help, either.

Thank you for re-introducing this album to me in a new light.

ASHLEY FEUCHT, via philadelphiaweekly.com

Under Raps Regarding Elliot Sharp’s feature on Philly rapper Gilbere Forte’: I have been playing Gilbere’s music and it’s just awesome.

I have no doubts about this young man skyrocketing. His music is very positive and it caters to all age groups. All radio stations should be playing his music. I’m really feeling the song “Summertime.”

FLINT MI FLAVOR, via philadelphiaweekly.com

I caught his show at the TLA a few weeks back on a humbug, and boy was I impressed! This kid’s stage presence and showmanship are spot on for him being such a new artist.

I am very much looking forward to the new projects, as his current mix tapes stay in heavy ro’ on my iPod.

A string of mob attacks terrorizes Port Richmond over the weekend.

RYA N ST R A N D

W W W. P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY. C O M

Ganging Up

Gated community: Port Richmond residents say mobs of kids are taking over parks after dark.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY September 14 - 20, 2011 • 6

“I told my wife to call the police,” he says.

Meanwhile, LaVelle figured he’d jot down license plate numbers in case there was real trouble. “I walked down and I started getting their license plates with the help of two kids walking by,” says LaVelle.

“As the mob again turns the corner, [they] see us and start chasing us. The two kids, I grab them I tell them to run into my house… I’m outside my house now. I asked, ‘What’s going on here?’”

When they came after him, LaVelle ran back into his house and locked the door.

His wife, 1-year-old twins, two older boys and a cousin were also in the house.

“They kicked in my door,” he says. “A Hispanic male came through it and hits me in the shoulder with a pipe … another Hispanic male punches me in the face.

That’s why my eyes are swollen. As I kicked him off my step, a black male was swinging a gun in my face.”

Someone yelled, “The cops are coming!”

He says the police nabbed two assailants on the spot and picked up a third one a few minutes later.

The next day, Saturday afternoon, LaVelle says 20 to 30 men between the ages of 16 and 40 rolled up to his house.

“I thought it was safe,” says LaVelle. “It was during the day.”

“They were yelling, ‘You white motherfucker! We know where you live now watch what happens if you go to court.’ They made this whole racial thing, ‘You’re white and you’re getting Spanish and black kids locked up.’”

“I said, ‘It had nothing to do with it.’ They said, ‘Watch what happens if you go to court you white motherfucker.’”

“What I’m pissed off about is that the racial card doesn’t apply to me,” says LaVelle.

“My Spanish cousin lives with me. I have nieces and nephews who are black.”

The father of four says he filed a roll-call complaint, a term for increased patrol in response to a threat. But he didn’t see any more squad cars.

“They’re chasing the flash mobs out of Center City and right into the neighborhoods,” says LaVelle. “Sixty five white kids beat up a black kid, there would be a cop stationed outside his house.”

Frustrated, LaVelle says he called three local television news stations hoping coverage would help keep him safe, but they all told him that they were short-staffed and anyway, it was 9/11.

For now, the family is hiding out. “I can’t stay here. I haven’t been to work. I need to look out for my family.”

Last weekend in Port Richmond was one of the most violent in recent memory, and it all took place within a few blocks and in or near parks that residents say increasingly attract trouble after dark.

It all started Friday night when a fight broke out in Campbell Square Park. Judging from the piles of broken glass and amateur graffiti left behind—including incorrectly drawn pentagrams and backward swasti-

Periscopin’

kas—whoever it was was drinking illegally and looking for trouble. Though it’s doubtful they were actually trying to express Satan worship or anti-Semitism, at least some of the violence is racially motivated.

The neighborhood rumor mill cranked out two possible causes for the fight: Some say it was beef over turf, that some kids came over from Fishtown. Others heard it began when a white kid pushed a black kid off a bicycle.

Maryann Trombetta, president of Port Richmond’s Town Watch, walked up on the

scene at Campbell after her regular Friday night patrol. Trombetta says cops were everywhere and a chopper swirled above, painting the park in bright light. The kids scattered.

Mark LaVelle, 37, lives a few blocks away from Campbell Square, but closer to Stokely Playground, another park residents say trouble-seeking kids take over at night.

On the entrance hangs a sign that warns: no trespassing between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Someone covered the word “trespassing” with stickers. Now it reads: “No cops between the hours of 10PM and 6AM.” LaVelle says a mob of crazed teens beat him with a pipe in his own home in front of his wife and kids about 11 p.m. on Friday.

He believes his assailants may have been seeking retaliation for whatever went down at Campbell Square, and he just happened to be in the way.

“I guess they were coming back looking for anyone,” he says.

LaVelle, a volunteer soccer coach, was loading sports equipment into his car when he spotted “six or seven carloads of black and Hispanic males pull over down the street.” He estimates the mob at “at least 50” dudes, maybe up to 75. When the crew emerged from their cars, he saw some were holding bats.

Fast forward to the early hours of Sunday morning and shift a few blocks to Glavin Park. Locals call the concrete slab of basketball courts and swings bordered on one side by Mercer Street “the A&W.” Residents say that sometime after midnight a confused melee broke out after a “beer party” got out of control. Some of the people involved—mostly kids, they say— had guns and knives.

By sunrise, rumors swirled that a few boys had been stabbed and a young man was shot by police after flashing a gun at an officer.

Michael Saier, 62, is a fourth-generation Port Richmond resident who has lived in a house near the A&W his entire life. “We were here before it was a playground,” says Saier. “I’ll be honest with you, I preferred when it was a factory.”

Michael’s wife, 64-year-old Jackie Saier bursts into tears when she recalls what went down last night.

“It’s very upsetting for me,” she says.

“I was asleep already and it woke me up,” says Saier. When they walked out their front door, they saw about 70 kids scattered in the playground, down Mercer Street, everywhere. “They were all checking their cell phones,” says Saier.

Someone shouted something about getting stabbed.

Then: two gun shots.

PPD spokesman Lt. Ray Evers confirmed that at 1:15 am., police responded to a “large fight disturbance,” and that 38-year-old Alfred Cruttenden drove up and “pulled a revolver from his waistband and starts waving it.” Evers said that after Cruttenden refused orders to drop his weapon, police shot him once in the stomach and once in the leg. He is in stable condition.

Neighborhood rumors say the armed assailant pointed a gun right at a cop and said, “Fuck you.”

The Saierses say that as soon as the mob cleared off the street, about 30 more gathered in their wake. They watched as one kid brazenly sauntered down the copinfested street with a gun visibly stuffed into the back of his pants.

Back in Campbell Square on Sunday afternoon, adults are abuzz about the weekend’s violence as a bunch of kids hang on the tables slurping soda. The adults don’t recognize the loud group as neighborhood kids. A little girl in a pink dress traces one of the pentagrams with her fingertips.

Stroller wheels crunch over broken glass.

A Mister Softee truck pulls up to one side of the park, and a bunch of guys are hanging out on the other. Trombetta spots fresh stitches lacing up a slit in the back of one kid’s neck. He looks about 18, maybe 19 years old. When asked about what went down this weekend, he freezes up, turns around and leaves the park. All his friends follow him. n

Let ’Em Rep

PW kicks it with Brian Sims, LGBT activist and candidate for state House. m at t p e t r i l lo

By Matt Petrillo mpetrillo@philadelphiaweekly.com

Last week, LGBT activist Brian Sims announced his candidacy for the state House.

He will be challenging Democratic Rep. Babette Josephs for the 182nd District, which covers much of Center City, including the Gayborhood. We profiled Sims back in July for our Queer Issue, highlighting his activism and role as then-Equality Pennsylvania president. Now, the self-titled “professional gay” is trying to live up to that name even further. Sims, 32, is dead sexy, and we initially used the interview as an excuse to try to get into his pants. But, alas, that failed, so we thought we’d at least ask him some questions about his candidacy.

There’s a history of progressives running against Josephs, but they have always failed. The 182nd is one of Pa.’s most progressive. Why should you be in her chair?

During the last election cycle, politicalnobody Gregg Kravitz ran on a campaign partially based on his bisexuality. Why should people take you any differently than Kravitz?

Where do I begin? I have a decade more of professional experience … I’ve proved myself to be involved with the community, knowing the issues that affect these neighborhoods. It’s not just about being gay or bisexual. It’s about building a political base and representing people in the community.

Special thanks to

We’re guessing you have a pretty big and ballsy agenda. What was your biggest political accomplishment?

Equality Pensylvania. Hands down. Pennsylvania stood out for its lack of a coordinated LGBT response years ago. The work I’ve done over the past two years, traveling across the country and going into locker rooms and auditoriums helping people and athletes especially understand gay people are just like any other people, I plan on doing that in the House. Going door-to-door and knowing the issues.

What’s your biggest challenge to win the campaign?

I think it’s going to be how to manage all the people who want to be involved. Even if I spend my last dollar to win the primary [which is April 24, 2012].

No B.S., B.S. Lawyers usually make better money working as attorneys. Why are you doing this?

I don’t mean to sound dismissive and I have run into plenty of career-politicians who I mean no ill will toward. But I am not going to be a career politician. I don’t fancy myself as Philly’s first gay mayor, it’s not in the cards. I hope that if I do this, I do it very well. And as a result of it I hope the inertia helps a lot of other minorities to advocate for forward-thinking policies … Even if I was elected once or twice, if I got the issues that I wanted advocated for, I hope to make these issues commonplace. n Read the entire interview online at blogs.philadelphiaweekly.com/phillynow

So you would be making up for all the years gays had penetration without representation? What would you say to critics who might say you’re too LGBTfocused?

Let me say it’s because of her that I am running. Philadelphia has the best young, smart progressive leaders in the state.

That’s … who I’m running with. Our goal is a very clean, very friendly campaign. I don’t think there’s been someone like that, and given everything happening in this nation, I see this as a very historic race.

That’s fair. I would say the vast majority of elected officials come with an issue or two. It’s the best way to work in a political system. Not many people have six or seven major issues that they’re constantly working on in the state House. They have one or two. I have had one major issue I’ve been able to work on with state and federal legislators, which is LGBT rights, which covers everything from municipality nondiscrimination clauses to state and federal bullying. I have policy background—I’m a policy attorney who has dealt exclusively with LGBT rights over the past few years. I was staff council for policy for the Philadelphia Bar Association … I worked with everything on electing judges to trash-can collection. There are very few people who specialize in policy.

The Drilling Fields How one Pennsylvania county got the gas chamber. And ours could too.

Text and photographs by Ada Kulesza feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com gas industry look like heroes. Where do we sign?

Outside, the protesters sang a different tune.

“Fracking Poisons Air and Water. Fight Back Now,” read one sign. “Stop fracking with our air,” stated another. A third reminded the crowd, “They said it was safe to drill in the Gulf, too.”

Besides two local politicians who graced the stage, those who addressed the protest were just normal folk, who traveled from as far as Dimock, in Susquehanna County, to share their experiences with drilling.

They rattled off tales of water being tainted, vegetation dying, and towns in turmoil over an increasingly controversial method used to get the gas in shale thousands of feet underground. They say hydraulic fracturing, or fracking— the process of pumping millions of gallons of water laced with chemicals and sand to break shale and release the gas—is unearthing more bad than good. They warn other landowners about fast-talking landmen offering big bucks to lease their property.

hey packed onto Sansom Street, blocking traffic, making their way to City Hall. Roughly 700 people holding banners, waving signs and yelling freedom fighter slogans like, “This is what democracy looks like,” and “It’s our water, it’s our right. It’s our water, we will fight,” marched on Center City last Wednesday afternoon.

A woman stood, arms crossed, wondering to no one particularly, “What the hell is that? There are so many of them.”

A man looked at one of the signs, confused. “Drilling causes earthquakes?”

The sidewalk on either side of Arch Street that was empty in the morning began filling until it was packed with protestors at lunch time in front of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where the gas industry was hosting its Shale Gas Insight 2011 convention. Inside, industry bigwigs and lobbyists mingled with the likes of Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley and former Gov. Tom Ridge, and all sang the praises of Pennsylvania’s gas boom: It’s cleaner and cheaper than oil, and we’re sitting right on it. It’s environmentally friendly and green. Struggling homeowners and businesses from Philly to Pittsburgh will reap the benefits of lower electricity and heating bills.

It will decrease the nation’s reliance on foreign oil and create local jobs. With 1,600 gas wells in Pennsylvania so far, more than 2,000 permits issued and reams of applications still pending, the state is poised to generate millions, if not billions, of investment dollars. In tough economic times, the promise of prosperity makes the government and natural

Nowhere in the state is the gas boom as booming as in Bradford County, a “sweet spot” four hours north of Philly where the shale is especially thick and gas production bountiful. As of June, there were 386 gas wells drilled in the area, with 830 more permits issued. Residents of rural Bradford County have been leasing their property to energy companies for a decade or more. There would be no drilling and the lease would die, so when a flood of leasing started in 2006, few knew how big the industry would become. Now they’re experts. They’re close enough to the gas wells to have learned a life-altering lesson about drilling—between the contaminated water, the mysterious illnesses plaguing residents and animals, and the shady landmen with their sketchy leases, the boom is a fracking nightmare.

Bruce Kennedy points out gas pads like a natural-born tour guide, giving dates and tossing gossip into his explanations of each site. He and his wife Rita have 13 grandchildren. Kennedy is retired and runs a farm and heating business. There are no pads on the couple’s property, yet, but they have a lease with Eastern Oil and Gas, and Chesapeake Appalachia has a water pipeline running through their land.

So far, Kennedy says he’s had three industry-related accidents. “There was a diesel spill, there was a breach of pipe, and there was a hydraulic fuel spill from a piece of equipment they left settin’.”

Behind the bar in his furnished basement, Kennedy leans over, arms braced on the bar, settling wire-rimmed glasses on his thick nose and reading from his notes documenting life with the gas industry. A parade of pictures, plastic bags filled with black, diesel-smelling muck, and opaque water samples in jars line the wood bar. He remembers the day his relationship with the industry reached the boiling point.

“April 16 of 2011, that’s when I discovered the fuel spill on my property. And it all stated spiraling from there. April 16 was the day I went from good guy to hard-ass.”

Kennedy called his contact, a man from Gary Monroe Associates, the broker for Chesapeake that had negotiated the lease for the above ground freshwater pipe that pumped water from an impoundment to the well pads. “When I called him I expected containment … and a cleanup,” Kennedy says. “I was immediately hot to start with because they had promised me that nothing like this would ever happen.”

Within days, trucks, a crane and a front-end loader showed up, “taking this damn thing out as quickly as they could get it outta there,” recalls Kennedy. But the following week, on Easter Sunday, he noticed a leak from the pipe itself. “The material I first drew out of it was cloudy, you couldn’t even see through it.” Kennedy says that when the reps showed up, they couldn’t find the leak. That’s when he told them, “follow the black line, you’ll find it.”

Ten miles or so north of the Kennedys, Harry Martin’s modest house stands on a hill, hidden by trees. An ancient retriever guards the back, while two mounted deer heads preside over the cluttered kitchen and living room. Martin, 65, a retired technician, is unflappable; he hunts, with bow or rifle, and his voice is dead level, picking up in speed and rising just slightly in pitch as he describes his experience with the gas industry. In October 2006, Martin and his wife signed a generic lease for $100 for each of their 130 acres, plus royalties from produced gas. There’s a gas pad on his property, with two wells in operation, Harry 2 and Harry 5, he says. The pad spreads like a level, 3.5-acre checkerboard, with an earth barrier around its perimeter. It used to be a hill, and Martin has to catch his breath a couple times walking up the drive.

The wells are in the center of the pad: two wide holes injected by pipes that look like girders, feeding into a tangle of more round steel pipes and valves. Most of the pipes are underground; the well pad is pretty bare, with two towering cylindrical tanks along one edge, a loudly thumping box set next to pipes and valves on another, with a thread of pipe running between them through an anvil-shaped crux of pipes in the middle.

The pipes pump gas out of the wells into the separators.

The waste goes into the big storage tanks. The gas is then fed into the loud compressor, which sends it into pipelines.

Ubiquitous steel tankers labeled Residual Waste pull up to the pads and pump out the tanks, “when they’re full or when they’re told to,” says Martin.

The pipeline route is wide, a two-lane road’s width, cutting a scar through Martin’s forest and threading onward over the terrain. Martin planted nearly every tree and watches the wildflowers in his fields as he walks an avenue that the neighbor keeps mowed for him. “Whenever you get heavy rains here I got trouble with seepage on these two corners,” he says. “I had DEP in here last year because it was seeping and killing the vegetation.” Yellow earth gives way as he steps onto the barrier. “DEP made ’em dig the dirt out and put new in, but this remedy on the corner here is a joke because I been up here after it rained and it still seeps. They come up here and drill again, I’m gonna have whatever

comes out of that black sludge layin’ all over the place in the water.” So far he’s lucky the black sludge isn’t oozing out of his drinking taps.

Sherry Vargson, 49, can’t say the same. A few miles south, past the top of a hill the graying, cheerful woman tries to make sense of the liquid running out of her kitchen faucet. She holds a glass cup under the tap and turns it on. The faucet gurgles and hisses. The cup fills with a substance that’s bubbling and fizzing, opaque and smoky.

“Reporters love this,” she says, holding a flame under the running water. The flame stays lit under the running tap, and she says, good-naturedly, “Oh, it usually goes right up.”

Vargson and her husband signed a lease for $100 an acre back in 2006. She says they first noticed the problem when she was boarding her daughter-in-law’s horses in 2010.

“We had a 20-gallon tub so the horses had free access” to water, she says. “As the weather got colder, we noticed the water wasn’t freezing, so I thought, maybe they’re just keeping it stirred up or whatnot. As the winter got more set in, we had days of temperatures below zero, and the water would get a crust on it but would not freeze solid, and we said, there’s something else going on.”

The answers to her water problem are laid out in the overwhelming stacks of paper and folders scattered across her kitchen island containing water tests, from Chesapeake Energy, from DEP, from her lawyer, from third parties.

They all show varying high levels of methane, as well as sodium and other heavy metals. Chesapeake provides the couple with 25 five-gallon water jugs every month, but according to Vargson, the company won’t provide a large water tank, known as a water buffalo, because they say the contamination isn’t high enough to warrant one. So the Vargsons use their contaminated water for bathing and cleaning. They take quick showers because after five minutes they start to get light-headed. They also have to keep the windows open all the time to vent the methane. The couple says the gas company tried to remedy the problem by venting the gas, but it didn’t help. So they adapt, making sure not to use oil heating during the winter for fear the pilot light could send their house sky-high. The couple also won’t let their animals drink the tap water. The dogs drink bottled water, the cows drink from a spring and her duck drinks rainwater.

Beware of the Fast-talking Landmen

• 12

Kennedy, Martin and Vargson all say they regret their decisions to get into bed with the gas industry. “Hell, if I

had to do it all over again, I would not sign the lease,” says Martin. “When I signed … in 2006, no one had any clue … that they were going to be drilling here.” He says that in the early years, most of the leases were for five years; they’d get a few dollars per acre, and after five years the leases would die out and nothing would happen. When Martin was approached in 2006, he figured it would be the same. “We signed because it got enough to pay off the home equity loan that we owed. We’d been approached three or four times by landmen, they’d call ’em. I call ’em crooks. They’d come up and they’d offer you as little as $5 an acre to lease your land,” he says. “We just figured we’d get some money for the lease and in five years the lease would die out and that would be it. They show you some nice photographs.

They showed me a thing here with six wellheads, connected in two groups of three, and a nice green field, and that’s what it was gonna look like when they were done. But here’s what I got.” From the pad, he surveys the dominion.

“We got a quarry over there, a frack water pond over there and a pad here.”

Martin says the whole thing is a sham. And it’s been that way since landmen from West Virginia and Texas first discovered that Pennsylvania—like a brush stroke from the southwest to the northeast—was sitting on a gas gold mine. They began prowling the area in earnest in 2005 and 2006, singing the praises of a new, safe industry that would be the dawn of an era of renewable energy, and rumors of impending wealth started flying. “When we first started talkin’ with a lawyer he was hearing that we’d probably get, like, $300 an acre every month? Well, that’s a crock. We started out about $90 an acre and right now it’s down to about $70 an acre a month,” for a total of around $9,000 a month. “We aren’t getting rich. A lot of people make that much in a month anyhow. It’s great money, but it’s nothing like what we were led to believe.”

Martin says he was offered another $8,000 for the pad with a $2,000 bonus if he allowed them to put a frack-water treatment plant on his property. He declined because, “there would have been trucks continuously till this day coming up here with residual waste, treating it,” he says.

“The money isn’t worth it to me.”

Vargson admits that her biggest regret is that she was “totally deceived as far as it being environmentally safe and friendly. I had no idea it was going to impact and alter my life as drastically as it did,” she says. “They [the landmen] lie to you to your face to get you to sign.” And it worked. She says the $19,700 she received upon signing

was from deep underground shale.

Stroud and her family were fortunate to be able to move to a house her father gave her. Since she’s moved her hair has grown back and her symptoms have subsided, but her doctors have never dealt with barium poisoning before, and don’t know what to tell her. “They said with all those carcinogens that I’ve been drinking, I am five times as likely to get cancer.”

She counts herself lucky that her children didn’t get sick, though she says her 4-year-old had leg cramping at night, showing symptoms of a potassium drop associated with barium poisoning, which she guesses was from bathing in the bad water. She went to Harrisburg to request an interview with Gov. Corbett, and was locked out of his office.

She says groups have submitted petitions requesting the governor meet with her, but were met with silence. “They completely ignore me,” she says.

Stroud says that since she went public with her story, other neighbors have come forward to her; her neighbor has methane contamination, and a cop who had been feeling sick got his blood tested and found he had barium poisoning.

her lease “was like winning the lottery. I took the check, went to the bank, caught up on some bills,” she says. The wells on her property were drilled and fracked and began producing gas in 2009. They received their first royalty check of $38,000 for four months of production. The next check was for $8,400. The checks continued dwindling until they stopped altogether. “There is no income from this well pad from Chesapeake,” Vargson says, her mouth closed tightly. A phone call, with nothing in writing to back it up, said it was because of some reconfiguration discrepancy.

Things only got worse. Vargson claims they signed the lease with the belief that the pad was temporary, but soon realized that temporary was permanent. At the time, the Vargsons were commercial dairy farmers. When the company constructed a well pad on their main grazing pasture, they sold their herd, keeping some cattle for beef, and found jobs off the farm.

The Illin’ Fields

Mike Bastion says he wakes up “shaking and I’ll be throwing up and have to go, [No.] 2. I used to run 10k races,” says the middle-aged Bastion. “All of a sudden I can’t breathe right. I thought I had Lyme disease.”

It turns out Bastion has barium poisoning. He says his blood tests came back with four times the recommended limit of the heavy metal used to make paint, bricks, tiles, rat poison, boiler water and additives for oil and fuel.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), barium “is used mostly by the oil and gas industries to make drilling muds,” to keep drill bits lubricated.

The CDC further reports that: “Eating or drinking ... barium compounds can cause changes in heart rhythm or paralysis in humans ... vomiting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, difficulties in breathing, increased or decreased blood pressure, numbness around the face, and muscle weakness.” Left untreated, the effects of barium can cause death.

Bastion lives in a trailer on a small parcel just west of the Northern Tier Solid Waste Authority, which accepts waste from gas operations. There’s a well pad adjacent to Bastion’s parcel; his house sits on the bottom of the slope.

The pad’s on his neighbor’s property, so Bastion earns nothing from it. The pad construction started in May 2010.

“When the drilling started, I started hearing all kinds of strange noises ... from in the ground, and it’s like Mother Earth is crying, like groaning and groaning, and I thought I better check my well,” says the patent inventor and wood carver. “So I pulled the casing up and I looked. My water went pffffft. My water just disappeared.”

Chesapeake sent a rep, an environmental scientist. The two went back and forth. “He said, ‘We haven’t used any harmful chemicals or anything ... your water will come back.’” Bastion took the rep into the bathroom and turned on the water. “It was all black and he said, ‘It won’t hurt you ... It’s really not that bad.’” Bastion’s voice breaks and he starts crying. “He said, ‘You can wash your clothes in that. Just don’t do the white clothes.’” But he told Bastion not to drink it. Bastion was given cases of 12-ounce Chesapeake spring water and a water cooler. Upon inspection, DEP told him not to even touch the water.

Crystal Stroud says the gas boom ruined her life. Two weeks after drilling began on her neighbor’s property last February, the 29-year-old hair dresser says she started getting sick. Her hair started falling out in clumps. She was often short of breath and her heart raced. She’d wake her husband in the middle of the night, unable to breathe. A doctor tested her thyroid, which was normal, so he prescribed anxiety medication. After two days of taking Zoloft Stroud’s hands started shaking “like an 80-year-old woman.

I had muscle weakness, I couldn’t stand for long periods of time.” She had to take off from work. Stroud had the water tested by an independent tester. She says the tester told her to stop drinking the water. There were highly elevated levels of methane, barium, lead, manganese and radon, among other things. And isotope testing confirmed the methane

Gas Cloud

Linking the various medical symptoms to water-well contamination has been difficult. During a Citizens Marcellus Shale Commission hearing last week, experts testified that there hasn’t been any rigorous information or data gathering to determine how many people have had detrimental health effects due to their proximity to drill pads.

Diane Siegmund, a psychologist in the Bradford County seat of Towanda, says she’s been trying to get those numbers. “For several months I would go to the county commissioner’s meeting here in Bradford County in Towanda and say, ‘You know what the big missing piece here is? How many [water] wells are contaminated?’ Well, they didn’t know. Nobody counts,” she says. “This person from New

York attempted to count them and we ended up with a count somewhere between 81 and 92, but it’s unofficial, so they [the commissioners] blow it off.”

Siegmund had an idea to set up a hotline. “People are afraid to speak up,” she says. She submitted a plan to the county commissioners: “A gathering line, a place where people can call in. They don’t have to worry about their names being turned over to the gas company.” She says the commissioners thought it was a good idea, but by the time the commissioners elections took place, “they’d changed their minds,” she says. “One of the commissioners had the nerve to accuse our people of crying wolf. In other words, you’re just saying your water’s bad ... it’s not really bad.”

“I have seen some horrendous looking water in these people’s homes, and I truly know that … people are not crying wolf,” says Siegmund, her own eyes red-rimmed and swollen because she’s allergic to the formaldehyde being emitted by the compressor stations near her house.

When it comes to the gas industry, Siegmund says, “I personally have a lot of problems with watching sick people be ignored. I don’t like cover-ups. I don’t like it when cattle start dying or pets start losing their hair or people’s hair starts falling out.”

Since there is no official, institutional body to collect the data, health professionals have to do it on a grassroots level.

Dr. Poune Saberi knows of at least 30 cases of people exhibiting the type of symptoms associated with water and air contamination. They spring up in clusters, a rash of similar complaints across wide demographics of the population within the vicinity of natural-gas operations that came on around the same time. Saberi is frustrated at the medical field’s lag behind the industry. A baseline study is being conducted in counties where drilling hasn’t started yet, so researchers can determine if drilling causes problems, but that’s pretty much it. The doctor can’t say with official studies backing her that illnesses were caused by natural gas. “But it’s not necessarily a coincidence that all of a sudden people are complaining of clusters of symptoms, and they attribute it all to the beginning of this process on their property,” she says. “A lot of people complain of heart racing, elevated blood pressure, skin rashes, abdominal pain, nausea, shortness of breath, hair falling out, dizziness, tremors.”

Deconstructing Bradford

Siegmund moved to Towanda two decades ago because it was a quiet town. After the rain, mist hangs over the mountainsides like cotton balls, and the lone highway dips and rises along the hills like an insect making its way along a rumpled blanket.

On a summer Saturday evening the main street of Towanda, one of those iconic, Anywhereville, U.S.A., boulevards once home to a baker, butcher and hardware store, now gleams in the slanting sunlight with dusty storefronts of empty shops, interspersed with the occasional secondhand store.

But on a recent Monday, the streets are packed. Steel water and water tankers, tractor trailers, SUVs and pickups flow from Sayre, on the edge of the New York border, down to Towanda, creating massive gridlock in the heart of the town. Siegmund says her reaction to the way the town has changed since the natural-gas boom started is, “Get me out of here!” Since it would be difficult to sell a house that’s next to a natural-gas compressor station, she says she has three words for Chesapeake Energy: “Buy. My. House.”

A house with tainted water is virtually worthless, but rents have skyrocketed, thanks to 20,000 out-of-state workers who have flooded the area, with the massive amounts of equipment and trucks that come with the industry.

The wells are drilled with rigs twice the height of a 70-foot silo. After a pad is constructed, it takes about one month of drilling 24/7 to drill the well, with another two weeks or so to frack and put the well into production. “The drilling took a month,” says Bastion, his gesture encompassing his trailer. “It’s lit up like New York City. It’s like, day is day, and night is day. I’m outside at 10 o’clock at night, mowing the lawn.”

When a well is being drilled, a row of portable office trailers monitor the work, and there are storage trailers with water, sand, waste and chemicals parked side-by-side along the pad. The drills are manned by skilled workers from the Oil Belt: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana and elsewhere.

The men live in camps, like the NOMAC camp west of

Sayre, on the New York State border, in a cross between a mobile home and a dorm. Their trucks and SUVs are parked against the board trailers tacked on to one another.

The encampment is surrounded by chain link fence topped with barbed wire, adjacent to an industrial plant.

A driller from Arkansas who asked his identity be withheld, says he was hired out of high school four years ago by Chesapeake. He makes $28 an hour, working 12-hour days for 14 days straight, feeding pipes into the well casings, sometimes earning a mud sludge bath for his efforts. He rises for work at 3 a.m., has an 11 o’clock curfew or faces a breathalyzer, and spends his 14 days off in his home state, transportation provided by the company. There’s a security booth that guards the entrance to the man-camp, that checks in and out anyone leaving or entering.

He says the boys like to spend their evenings at the local bars, leading residents and local politicians to raise cries of rising STD rates and increased prostitution in the area.

“It’s a mess,” says Crystal Stroud, referring to reports of stabbings and rapes and shootings that she’s been reading about in the county, and to the “creepy men staring” at her.

She says grocery clerks have to walk her out of the store.

“We don’t feel safe in our town anymore. Chesapeake has bought our county,” she says.

Chesapeake, along with the other players in the naturalgas industry, hired Ridge as spokesman for the Marcellus Shale Commission for $1 million. (The natural-gas and oil industry made large investments to the GOP during the 2010 elections). Come autumn, the governor and legislature will consider the recommendations outlined in the governor’s advisory committee report, which advises the governor to begin switching Pennsylvania’s infrastructure over to natural gas: building natural-gas stations along the PA Turnpike, and offering tax incentives to switch over public transportation fleets to natural gas. And in October, the Delaware River Basin Commission will consider adopting its draft regulations on natural-gas drilling. Once it does, the path will be open for natural gas companies to submit applications for drilling in the Delaware River Basin, in the headwaters of Philadelphia and New York City’s drinking water.

And that might be OK. As long as the price is right. n

Big Questions

history of the world. Pitching the show to would-be backers, the pair performs all 318 roles from their conceived extravaganza (include a stunningly funny bit involving the Virgin Mary and Mrs. Gandhi) and harmonize on catchy songs like the spectacularly silly showstopper “Free Food and Frontal Nudity.”

J. Cooper robb

Chicago-based graphic novelist Anders Nilsen’s new book, Big Questions, collects the strips he’s been self-publishing in individual issues for 10 years. It’s heavy. Yeah, yeah, it’s more than 600 pages and weighs about six pounds, but not just that kinda heavy. Nilsen wrestles with the BIG metaphysical jawns: What’s it all about?

Why are we doing what we’re doing? But the questions are asked by birds in a bird-world, specifically one where the birds have encountered a bizarre event. When a plane crashes and they mistake one of its bombs for a gigantic egg, their lives turn upside down. There’s also a snake, an idiot and a fowl named Algernon, and their stories unfold with the grace and grandeur of a Terrence Malick film. Nilsen’s reading at Brickbat tonight, but not alone. He’s bringing comic Marc Bell, the artist behind Pure Pajamas, with him. elliott Sharp 7pm. Free. Brickbat Books, 709 S. Fourth St. 215.592.1207. brickbatbooks.blogspot.com

Food

Feastival This year’s Feastival unites dynamic artistic performances with world-class restaurants, brought to you courtesy of the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe. Attendees will be treated to a culinary feast from 75 of Philly’s top restaurants and bars, led by co-hosts and cuisine superstars Stephen Starr, Michael Solomonov and Audrey Claire Taichman. As you nosh on delicacies, you will be entertained by the less edible but equally palatable choreography of Brian Sanders, live painting by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and a circus performance by Montreal’s 7 Fingers. You’ll definitely want to come back next year for seconds. triShula patel

Two Gallants It’s been so long since San Francisco indie-folk duo Two Gallants have made a peep (they’ve been on hiatus for a few years), it’s almost hard to remember they were once touted as the “next big thing” in the mid 2000s. Or that singer-guitarist Adam Stephens and drummersinger Tyson Vogel once got Tasered by a cop investigating a “noise complaint” at a 2006 gig in Houston. Or that the duo offers a brilliant sound that combines evocative, mostly acoustic folk-blues with a stormy punk ethos that especially comes through in the raw vocal harmonies. But tonight should be a reminder of all of that. Well, not the Taser thing, hopefully. MiChael alan GoldberG 9:15pm. $10-$12. With the Mumlers. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N.

The night aims to show what its dance apprentice companies are working with and will include new choreographed pieces.

Presented by the Painted Bride, the performances are typical of the innovative work that characterizes the art center. Its history and performances lie in the Alternative Art Space movement, which sought to establish organizations where artists had greater control over the presentation of their work and were able to present the work of the underrepresented. t.p.

Black Orpheus French director Marcel Camus’ 1959 film Black Orpheus boasts one of the greatest soundtracks ever, and tonight it screens on one of the city’s finest soundsystems. Featuring the music of Brazilian composers Antônio Carlos Jobim— who once wrote a little ditty called “The Girl From Ipanema”—and Luiz Bonfá, the bustling, banging sounds launch into the gritty, celebratory Rio de Janeiro streets during Carnaval as Camus modernizes the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. On the run from his awful fiance and that most unflinching assassin we call Death, playboy trolley conductor Orfeu and country girl Eurydice twist, dash, samba and smooch through colorful, noisy plazas packed with masked revelers donning rainbow costumes and mad, swirling robes. Horns blaze and polyrhythmic marches simultaneously summon feelings of heart-booming exhilaration and dreadful anxiety as the darkest cosmic forces in the universe clash in a once-and-forall battle with love. e.S.

ike a street artist, guitar virtuoso Monte Montgomery sketches with extraordinary dexterity, deftness and intricacy, his hands a blur of activity producing a sound stunning as a Taser. At 13, he skipped a year of school to join his folksinging mother on tour and never looked back. He plays electrified acoustics with a surgeon’s skill segueing from moments of delicate folk beauty to raw, slashing blues, notes gathering into foreboding storms that part to reveal beatific blue skies. Not content with guitar divinity, Montgomery’s honed his songwriting skill, reaching a new level with 2008’s self-titled seventh studio album. His daughter’s subsequent accidental death prompted a career re-evaluation, only recently picking up the touring pace. ChriS parKer Wed., Sept. 14, 8pm. $21.

Clark Park Fall Equinox Festival “Where will we be when the summer’s gone?” asked Jim Morrison, the shitfaced frontman of the Doors. He was attempting to arouse a poetic response, but there’s really only one place we’ll be. It’s called Fall. Just because you’re still wearing cut-off jean shorts doesn’t mean summer’s not over. It’s dead, and it’s time to move on, and the Clark Park Fall Equinox Festival ushers in the change. Ten bands are playing, and two of their names include bad words: Fuck Face and Total Fucking Destruction. Two others also share a theme: Catnaps and Pet Milk.

The most brilliantly stupid production in Philadelphia theater history returns to Center City with the Kimmel Center’s revival of The Big Bang. Penned by Jed Feuer and Boyd Graham, the 80-minute musical made its area debut in 2004 in a riotous production at Act II Playhouse starring the irresistible Ben Dibble and Tony Braithwaite. Braithwaite went on to win a Barrymore Award for outstanding actor in a musical and the production became an instant classic. At the Kimmel’s cozy Innovation Studio, the duo recreate their spectacular performances as two neophyte producers hoping to recruit investors for their lavish $83,000,000 musical depicting the entire

even in this day of ephemeral designer genres.

Helmed by singer Yoni Wolf and backed with any combination of keys, guitar, toys and samplers, WHY?’s tunes are both minimal and memorable. Without hiding under reverb, cymbal crashes or pounding bass drums, a strong beat and catchy chorus drive each tune.

Most arresting are Wolf’s vocals—his slightly nasal voice is half a pitch too high for comfort, snarky and snarling in its fatalism. He uses it as an instrument, playing with syncopation, enunciation, phonetics and vocal pitch. Lyrics, meanwhile, are vague narratives, detailed thoughts and stories that may or may not make sense.

Slaying the Dragon

Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon

The Center City Opera Company, which is the only professional opera company in the U.S. whose primary mission is the development of new work, presents a working preview of Slaying the Dragon tonight. Based on the award winning book, “Not by the Sword” by UPenn professor Kathryn Watterson, the play is based on the real-life story of Larry Trapp, the Grand Dragon of the Nebraska Klu Klux Klan, who renounced a lifetime of hatred and violence after being befriended by Cantor Michael and Julie Weisser. The play presents a powerful portrait of forgiveness and the possibility of authentic change. lAurA golDMAN

Keep running until you get to Bret Michaels!

Though it’s too late to join the race, spectators can still cheer on the participants and listen to the bands.

Born Gold Electro-popsters Born Gold might be the best thing to come out of Edmonton since Tommy Chong. Never heard of ’em? That’s probably because they just changed their name from Gobble Gobble, which was a ridiculous moniker and I shouldn’t like it better than Born Gold, but I kinda do. Regardless, main music man Cecil Frena and company continue to make is the same: Skittery electro and jungle beats that carry both digital noise and nostalgic, quasi-romantic ’80s New Wave melodies replete with swelling keyboards and megatreated vocals. I dig it. My girlfriend says Born Gold sounds like “cheap-ass Postal Service,” but she only got 20 minutes of sleep last night so she’s a little crabby. M.A.g.

Led by former Children of God cult member Christopher Owens, Girls’ fashion lo-fi twee that’s deeply indebted to Brill Building pop and ’60s girl groups. It’s warmly inviting and sweetly innocent, but increased polish can’t disguise the uneven quality of Father, Son, Holy Ghost, the new follow-up to 2009’s breakout debut, Album. Clad in a cloth bunny mask, Nobunny’s Justin Champlin plays noisy, ragged, hook-lined garage-punk and power pop with an indomitably infectious spirit reminiscent of Jay Reatard. Hopped-up tracks like “(Do the) Fuck Yourself” and “Nobunny Loves You” capture the idiosyncrasy of their light-hearted bounding irreverence. c.P. 7pm. $15. With Papa.

DADT Repeal Today, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” will be officially repealed. The obtuse policy regarding homosexuals serving in the military will finally be over. Finis. Kaput. And we say good riddance!

To celebrate, the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network and Equality Pennsylvania are co-hosting a happy hour right in the heart of the Gayborhood. The idea that Americans willing to fight and die on the battlefield could not bear the thought of living with their fellow gay soldiers is absurd, and the enactment of the law has had tangible, negative consequences: Roughly 14,000 men and women have been discharged from the military since the policy became law in 1993. Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy will be in the city tonight to help mark the occasion. This decorated veteran stewarded a bill repealing the law through the House. Show your support by raising a glass and buying a drink for those brave men and women in uniform. rAYMoND SiMoN 5pm. Free. Tabu Lounge & Sports Bar, 200 S. 12th St. 215.964.9675. tabuphilly.com

With elements of Boards of Canada, Marilyn Manson and Kraftwerk, their music combines the heady with the naïve for compelling and seductive songs. The band has earned a devoted following not just for these dreamy goth tunes, but also for their entrancing and bizarre live shows— not in the life-threatening Monotonix way, but in an altered-reality way. Band members are fully costumed, almost Donny Darko incarnate, while projections of Canadian TV commercials, YouTube videos and other found footage complete the sensuous evening. kATHeriNe SilkAiTiS

up against a sketchy traveling salesman who possesses a rather strange ability. Known for their unique approach to burlesque and defying the standard variety show format with fourth-wall realism and unscripted song-anddance numbers, the troupe is made up of 30 of Philly’s most talented Vaudeville performers. Since 2008, they’ve created 17 original musicals and performed to sold-out audiences across the city. Proceeds from the show will help support the maintenance and restoration of the historic Tall Ship Gazela and Tugboat Jupiter. Nicole FiNkbiNer

Thai High

The space is comforting and warm, the walls a peachsherbet tone, the carpet colored like a bruise or a crushed raspberry. Service follows suit with enough friendliness and delicacy to set it apart from many of its more abrupt Chinatown neighbors. And the menu, populated though it is with all the familiar greatest hits of the cuisine that most devotees look for, features enough surprises to keep the experience from growing stale.

The food itself bears the distinctive mark of solid techBy Brian Freedman nique. At its best, this leads to preparations like the fish bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com cake, a curry paste-limned, almost glutinous patty. Or to the shrimp roll, a sneakily delicious finger food composed of nothing more than a single, sesame-marinated shrimp, mummied-up in a delicate deep-fried sheet. Or to the fried pork dumpling, whose slick of oiliness was easily forgiven once my teeth sank into the snappy, water chestnut-anchored pork ball itself.

But then there are times when technique actually seems to get in the way of expressiveness. The broth-like texture and careful layering of flavors of the coconut soup was a welcome respite from all the heavy-handed ones I’ve slogged through over the years, but the floating vegetables were devoid of much flavor. Tom yum fared better, though its floating sediment of spice staining the sides of the bowl and the mushrooms somehow softening the addictively tangy funk of fish sauce.

Pottery shrimp sounded more interesting than it was in practice. The baked shrimp demanded the most attention here: Like nearly all the other proteins I’ve tasted from this kitchen, these were cooked to an exactly proper temperature, leading them to that ideal intersection of firmness and pliancy. But the bean thread noodles, though appealingly slippery, called out for more flavor than they’d been given.

Drunken noodles reversed this equation. The protein here—sliced pork—had been cooked a bit too long, but the noodles did more than enough to take up the slack, their unexpectedly roasty basil character guaranteed to lead to overeating past the point of fullness. (The noodles themselves are picked up daily at the local Nature Soy factory.)

Green curry built from scratch—no powders or prepackaged pastes here—boasted all the layering and complexity that makes it one of the emblematic dishes of the country. Almost as impressive as the curry itself—creamy but not cloying, its spice heat tingling the throat but never Badass bottom feeders: The shrimp at Erawan are cooked perfectly. singeing it—were the vegetables scattered on top.

In print, the idea of a puppet mouse singing Amazing Grace at another puppet’s funeral probably sounds pretty stupid. Yet, when watching it live, something that silly could very well make you laugh harder than you have in a long time. That, my friends, is the beauty of improvisational comedy, or, in the case of Philly Improv Theater’s Friends of Alcatraz, puppet-prov.

Bringing the diverse group of puppets to life are five local improv comics—Joe Sabatino, Rob Cutler, Dave Jadico, Jason Stockdale and Catty shack: Alcatraz introduces this host of the PBS KIDS program, The Sunny far-out puppet show.

Side Up Show, Kelly Vrooman.

After Alcatraz—“most desirable cat in the world”—delivers an introduction, the audience is asked to yell out something incredible that has happened to them recently. For one woman, that was “getting picked up in an IKEA.” And so the show begins with a woman yelling at a mouse for relieving himself in an IKEA showroom. From there, you get to meet the rest of Alcatraz’s friends through several short, unscripted and hilarious scenes.

Warning: Don’t be fooled by the seemingly friendly puppets—this show isn’t suitable for children. (Nicole Finkbiner)

Theatre Exile expertly captures life’s “in-between” moments.

It would challenge the skills of even the most hyperbolic theater critic to convey the extraordinarily high quality of Annie Baker’s emotionally penetrating drama The Aliens, which is making its Philly premiere at the Fringe in a tremendous production from Theatre Exile.

The play is set in a small Vermont town, where Baker takes us behind the quaint shops to show us the reality of life in small-town U.S.A. There beside the Dumpster in the rear of the local organic coffee shop we find Jasper (the always brilliant Jeb Kreager) and K J (Sam Henderson). Unemployed dreamers, the two are best friends and outsiders in this nothing-to-do town.

The tiny band of misfits becomes a trio with the appearance of a geeky teenager named Evan (Aubie Merrylees),

2011 Live Arts Festival & Philly Fringe All shows: 215.413.1318. livearts-fringe.org who is instantly welcomed by the friendly Jasper. In this bland, utilitarian environment poetry is read, music is played, souls are revealed, friendships are developed and relationships abruptly dissolve. In other words, life happens, and if the goal of realism is to imitate life on stage, Aliens is one of the most realistic plays to come along in quite some time.

The realism is only part of Aliens ’ appeal. In large part it’s Baker’s gift for capturing that unique “in-between” moment in life—inbetween jobs, relationships, schools, etc. “I don’t really worry about serious shit,” says Jasper, who has just lost his girlfriend. Yet despite his outward calm, we’re not entirely convinced that he or his friends are entirely happy or at ease.

Ultimately, The Aliens is about a community of outsiders who use their friendship to inoculate themselves against the terror of loneliness and isolation. (J. Cooper Robb) n

Through Sept. 25. $20. Studio X, 1340 S. 13th St. 215.413.1318.

No Holds Bard Pig Iron’s take on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

If you’ve ever been bored by Shakespeare in the past (and seriously, who hasn’t?), Pig Iron Theatre Company’s production of Twelfth Night, or What You Will makes the play not only easily understandable but surprisingly stirring. Easily one of the company’s most assured productions (Dan Rothenberg’s direction is as astute as it is thoughtful), Pig Iron brings a new vitality and clarity to Shakespeare’s 411-year-old play.

The story revolves around a brother and sister who besides their gender difference are identical in appearance. Following a shipwreck, the two are separated. The sister, Viola, (the excellent Sarah Sanford) disguises herself as a man, falls in love with the local Duke (a velvety smooth Dito van Reigersberg), and inadvertently stirs the simmering passions of the fair Lady Olivia (the slyly funny Birgit Huppuch). When the sister and brother are finally reunited, genders are revealed, heterosexuality is preserved, and general happiness ensues.

Most of the focus is on the romantic dealings between the Duke, Viola and Olivia, but the genius of Twelfth Night lies in the subplot involving the roguish Sir Toby (James Sugg) and his inept companion Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Andy Paterson). Sir Toby has seemingly made a career out of self-indulgence. In a magnetic performance Sugg’s Sir Toby is like a rock ’n’ roll demigod, only far more hedonistic. Whereas most productions downplay the viciousness of the pranks pulled by Sir Toby and his cohorts, Pig Iron boldly depicts the full extent of the brutality involved.

A drunkard who is as reckless as he is gleeful, Toby seeks revenge against the prudish Malvolio (Michael Sean McGuinness). Toby’s scheme against his enemy is humorous, but it is also needlessly cruel, and in Rothenberg’s staging we are simultaneously laughing and cringing as we watch Malvolio’s humiliation. (J.C.R.) n

Great walls: A cleanup project on Silver Street in Kensington resulted in a sitting area for residents (left). At right, a Megawords storefront in Chinatown.

Kensington, pushing neglected areas to the forefront of residents’ minds and creating a world in which art is taken out of its privileged gallery context. At the end of July, Smyrski and fellow artist Matthew Gallagher spearheaded a cleanup project on Silver Street, only a mile or so from Smyrski’s childhood stomping grounds, turning a corner usually littered with drug addicts into a beautifully painted sitting area that residents can actually enjoy. “Stuff like this lets us make that one-on-one connection [with people from the neighborhood],” Smyrski says. “I think these unexpected interventions or outbursts can always make people think. We like to put ourselves out there to get us to engage with them.”

“It’s nice to get people from the neighborhood to see films that they normally wouldn’t or couldn’t get a chance see,” Smyrski continues, “and to get fans of our work to come out to a place that they normally wouldn’t come to. For many people living in Center City, it’s like [Kensington] is not even there.” n

Dan Murphy’s current solo show, while created in isolation from Megawords, finds Murphy doing a similar ideological exercise: creating new spaces in which objects, people and ephemera can exist and be recontextualized. “It’s about these aesthetically perfect things—that’s the loose theme of the show,” he says.

“So maybe I don’t have access to a certain car or a certain piece of vintage clothing, but in those cases I’ve made pieces about these things.” (D.W.) n

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY September 14 - 20, 2011

Those who visited the Institute of Contemporary Art’s One Is the Loneliest Number exhibit this summer had the chance to see something that is rarely visible in museum spaces anymore: a cool space to just sit, read and relax.

No advertisements, no overpriced catalogs pushed at you.

Just a few chairs and well-worn photography magazines to peruse while you soak in the show: casually strewn West African fabric patterns, neon-colored graphics, old Leicas, cassette mixtapes and whatever else they’d set up in the museum’s loft space.

Anthony Smyrski and Dan Murphy made that happen.

Most known for their gritty, ad-free and nearly wordless magazine Megawords—which serves as a medium to experiment with their ideas and be free of commercialization— the pair aren’t just concerned with the art you consume, but the way in which you consume it. For the past three years, the guys have been specializing in creating public spaces, literally bringing their printed project to life.

“A magazine can move,” Murphy says. “It’s a physical object, you can take it to any place, any time, and have so many different people access it, and that was very important to what we were trying to do.”

The public projects that Megawords have created in recent years speak to this initial goal of publicizing art, and making it a culturally engaging and enriching experience for all involved. In September 2008, they temporarily set up shop in an old storefront in Chinatown as an all-purpose arts space, curating temporary exhibits, screening films and hosting musical performances. Last year, they set up a Megawords newsstand on the corner of 27th and Girard, where readers could pick up copies of the zine, but also speak directly with Murphy and Smyrski about their motives and inspirations. This year, they screened an art film in an old Kensington lot.

“One of our goals [with these projects] was to set an example to show that we need free spaces like this where you can experiment that’s not based around retail,” Murphy says.

“Kids need a place to go break windows or be creative. We need more space that’s not a bar, not a club, not a gallery.”

More recently, the guys have focused their energy on

Six Comics Perversely Cast as Terrifying Psychos

Ryan Gosling puts the pedal to the metal in Drive.

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com

Andy Kaufman, God Told Me To (1976): Stunt casting is a genre unto itself, with a special section reserved for comedians hired to do the opposite of make people laugh. When lo-fi huckster Larry Cohen (It’s Alive) erected this horror-thriller about a wave of religious cult murders, Andy Kaufman had only recently made his first appearance on Saturday Night Live. So, it would take a hip audience to spot his cameo as a cop who suddenly opens fire into the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Perhaps Cohen was less interested in casting a budding star than exploiting Kaufman’s creepy boyish quality, turning what’s otherwise amusingly deranged into simply deranged.

Rodney Dangerfield, Natural Born Killers (1994): In Oliver Stone’s delightful valentine to serial killers, the pre-spree homelife of Juliette Lewis’ Mallory is depicted as a sick All in the Family-style sitcom, with a laugh track kicking in whenever her father (Dangerfield, as a demented version of “himself”) gropes her ass and calls her a crazy bitch. Witty!

Steve Martin, The Spanish Prisoner (1997): Martin has never been above playing it straight— one of his first vehicles was the wonderfully depressing meta-musical Pennies From Heaven—but it took David Mamet to realize that he could be fullon intimidating. As a mysterious businessman who embroils Campbell Scott’s inventor in a conspiracy, he radiates such cool, narrow-eyed dispassion that Scott must be a fool for ever trusting him.

George Lopez, Bread and Roses (2000): P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY September 14 - 20, 2011

Some of us are lucky to only know Lopez as the bone-chillingly heartless boss in Ken Loach’s drama about illegal workers in Los Angeles.

Apparently he does other things, too.

Mo’Nique, Precious, etc. (2009): In which the star of Phat Girlz made a strong volley for cinema’s worst mother, and probably won.

Albert Brooks, Drive (2011): The “Albert

•

Brooks” character is essentially a sociopath anyway, so it’s not wildly shocking to see the maker of Modern Romance and Lost in America issuing genuinely chilling threats and stabbing people in the eye. Still, this is the best stunt casting since Once Upon a Time in the West had Henry Drive Fonda gun down a ginger kid. n

sequence, relying more on quick-wittedness than horsepower, and you may briefly wonder how the movie will be able to top it—but trust me, there’s no reason to fret.

As always in a picture like this, there’s a woman. Carey Mulligan’s Irene lives down the hall, and The Driver can’t seem to keep himself from looking longingly at her in the elevator. She’s got a kid, Benicio (Kaden Leos) and unfortunately they’re waiting for her husband to get out of jail. A chaste, tentative courtship ensues, and Refn goes full tilt ’80s puppy-love giddy, making great use of Gosling’s and Mulligan’s baby faces. For a brief spell, you might think you’re watching a John Hughes movie.

But when her husband, the curiously named Standard (Oscar Issac) finally gets out of the joint, he’s got a bit of baggage. I don’t know of any dude who would be very happy about Ryan Gosling hanging around with his wife and kid all day, but Standard has bigger problems. There’s a debt to a gang, and a heist that needs to go down. Before long Private Ryan: Gosling’s unnamed character moonlights as we’ve got ominous henchmen giving young a getaway driver for criminals.

Girls, be careful how you break up with a guy who owns his own flamethrower.

An angsty missive from the broken heart of dude nation, Bellflower is the story of love gone wrong with a heady, apocalyptic twist. A surprise smash at Sundance, writer/director Evan Glodell’s debut is stubbornly original and sometimes just plain stubborn. It’s confounding, but there’s something extremely personal happening here.

Named for the desolate L.A. strip consisting exclusively of dive bars and low-rent apartment complexes, the film stars Glodell as Woodrow, a 20-something slacker who is, like everybody else in this universe, a raging alcoholic. Between the blur of blacked-out evenings, Woodrow and his best friend, Aiden (Tyler Dawson), obsessively rewatch Mad Max movies

and tinker with homemade weapons of mass destruction, joking about being prepared for the impending apocalypse.

Enter Milly (Jessie Wiseman), a bad news kind of gal who wins Woodrow’s heart after beating him in the local tavern’s cricket-eating contest. She’s obviously nothing but trouble, but at least she tries to warn him first.

As forewarned, things don’t stay sweet for long. I don’t wan to reveal much, not just for fear of spoilers, but also because the movie goes so cockeyed that a brief synopsis wouldn’t do it justice. Barreling along in a brain-damaged hallucinatory rage, the movie drifts in and out of fantasy and nightmare.

Catastrophes and casualties mount as Woodrow and Milly find themselves locked in a spiral of cruelty and guilt.

Shot on hand-made digital cameras, the photography drifts in and out of focus with a thick coat of grime smeared across the lens. A pulsating orange color scheme ebbs and flows depending on the intensity of the scene. The film’s sheer ugliness is paradoxically beautiful to behold. Glodell’s filmmaking sets your teeth on edge.

Looming large over the picture’s second half is the Medusa, a 1972 Buick Skylark modified by Aiden to break speed records and belch flames. It’s a worthy ride for Mad Max himself, and as far as over-compensating symbols of male aggression go, you’d be hard pressed to top it.

Skidding out into abstraction, Bellflower both embraces and critiques the macho muscle-car posturing epitomized by the Medusa. The increasingly violent breaks with “reality” seem to be subconscious projections, not just by Woodrow, but by Glodell as well. They’re both trying to assert their masculinity in the face of sadness and humiliation. It’s a raw emotionally honest depiction of heartbreak as a personal apocalypse, which I suppose might sound silly if you haven’t had your heart broken lately. n

The first words out of the mouth of hothead criminal Enrique (Esai Morales, of crossword puzzle fame) are a homophobic epithet.

As punishment, he returns home from a prison stint to discover his teenage son Michael is gay. Whoops! Gun Hill Road may be built upon an easy irony, but it’s more than a PSA on how bigots overcome their bigotry.

First-timer Rashaad Ernesto Green does not condone Enrique’s rage, which extends to more than the gays, but he is fascinated by a man who finds himself on the outskirts of society. Not only is he among the many old school anti-gay zealots, he’s an ex-con, a minority in an impoverished Bronx neighborhood and a man whose wife (Judy Reyes) accepts him back into her bedroom not out of love but out of a reluctant sense of duty.

Gun Hill Road charts Enrique’s reluctant yet inevitable submission to changing mores, all while tracing Michael’s willingness to literally change.

Announcing to friends that he’s pre-op, Michael gets injected with dodgy-looking hormones every month, and dons a bra and makeup to perform at poetry’s nights.

The aggressively proud Enrique is slow—cartoonishly slow—to fully grasp the extent of Michael’s sexual leanings, and his belated realization prompts some camp hysterics. (“Not my boy!,” Enrique shouts, wide-eyed.)

Despite the occasional hambone dialogue, the film stands as the latest in a trend where unsubtle scripts are matched with subtle direction and acting. It’s always obvious where Gun Hill Road is heading, but it still vividly captures, among other things, a neighborhood in flux. And though the film doesn’t always know what to do with Enrique, it fares better with Michael, slowing the pace down to a crawl as he has his first, doomed relationship. These represent moments of verisimilitude in a film that otherwise feels too manufactured. n

Whoa boy, the ’80s. What a bowl of shit that was, right? Feathered hair. The Cold War. The Challenger exploding to bits.

Reaganomics killin’ me, Reaganomics killin’ you.

And then there was Andrew Dice Clay. Not the part where he became the World’s Biggest Comedian, a cocky, obnoxious, freewheelin’ juggernaut who sold out arenas in minutes. We’re talking the backlash, where America mainlined its worst politically correct and puritanical impulses and ran the fuckin’ guy out on a rail for telling a couple dick jokes. That part was weird. And, in retrospect, embarrassing. Because, really, no big deal.

Well, now Dice is back. And this week he returns to the TLA, the site of the HBO special that first saw him rocket into the stratosphere, The Diceman Cometh. We caught up with the Elvis of Comedy and talked tenacity, Entourage and—well just read the fuckin’ thing and fuggedaboutit.

Everyone knows you’re the Elvis of Comedy, but you’re also very much the Rocky Balboa of Comedy, bouncing back time and again after most in your position would’ve been down for the count. Talk about your own personal Clubber Langs, your Ivan Dragos, your Apollo Creed’s—moments in your career where you faced massive adversity—and how you got through it. What about your character gives you such tremendous drive?

Anybody hit as hard as me would be down for the count “absolutely,” as they say in the Rocky movies. The media, women’s groups and the gay rights groups all pulled together to knock me out, so to speak. They went after me so hard that my movie Ford Fairlane was pulled out of theaters on opening weekend. But I kept fighting and touring through it all. I was raised by good people who kept me grounded.

My tough guy persona is based on the guys I grew up with in Brooklyn. Yes, they were tough guys, but they were good grounded people much like myself.

36

You filmed The Diceman Cometh at the TLA, where you’ll be performing this week. It could be argued that the TLA and Philly is where Dice really became DICE, a worldwide global phenom and the world’s biggest comedian. Philly seems to have always had your back, and

shown you much love. What is it about the city and the people that makes it such a great fit for you? Do you have a fondness for the city?

Yes, Philly definitely helped and has always had my back!

My ex-fiance who is now my opening act, Eleanor Kerrigan, is from South Philly and is also one of the best female comics in the business! The city’s great, filled with hard working people who really love to come out and laugh. I love Philly and have spent a lot of time there throughout my career.

They come out to have a good time and they do! Philly is my second home next to Brooklyn!

The PC lightning rod you became in the late ’80s/early ’90s was so goddamn intense. How did it feel and how did you get through it? What did it teach you about life and about yourself?

How I got through it was sticking to who I am. I’m a comic who makes light of difficult situations and if people get offended by that, well fuck ’em! Never change who you are!

That’s my motto.

People always ask about the difference between onstage Andrew Dice Clay and offstage Andrew Clay Silverstein even though it seems pretty obvious that Dice is an exaggerated, pumped-up version of your real self and the Brooklyn badasses you grew up with. After 20 years of answering what the difference is, how tempted are you to tell someone to kindly fuck the fuck off when they ask that?

There are always two sides of a story/person. Onstage, I say whatever I want in a funny way. Offstage, I’m a loving father who only wants the best for his two boys. It’s my job to make people laugh, and it is also my job to be responsible for bringing up great kids. Believe it or not, I wouldn’t tell them to fuck off, I’d say to them, “Would you ask Keith Richards or Slash this stupid question?”

You’re great on Entourage. Tell us how it came about and how closely the Dice you play on the show is modeled after the Real Dice. It does seem like you’d take a noble stand against douchebag executives who refused to pay you what you’re worth. Did you consult with the writers about any of the plot points?

I ran into an old friend who I hadn’t seen in about 15 years, Bruce Rubenstein. Bruce asked me why I was never on Entourage as he kept playing with his phone. I got annoyed at Bruce for playing with his phone and snapped back at him, “It just never happened, now can you put your phone down!” Bruce replied “Well [Entourage creator] Doug Ellin loves you.” “Really,” I said. “How do you know?” Bruce said “I’m emailing with him right now and he wants a meeting.”

And the rest is history, my friend. Doug wrote most of the shows and is a really big fan who knows me and my history really well. He really nailed a lot of it. The character is very close [to the Real Dice] and yes, I do know my worth and will demand it!

Back to Rocky a bit: Your website’s tagline is “The Undisputed Heavyweight Comedy King.” Make the case for the doubters with the hard facts: albums sold, stadiums filled, asses in seats, record sell outs. Brag a bit.

Everybody knows that I sold out [Madison Square] Garden two nights in a row. But they forget, I played over 300 concert arenas. I did the Spectrum here in Philly, three sold-out shows. (It will be missed.) I played the Rose Bowl in L.A. to a sold-out crowd of about 100,000 people. I got a wall full of gold and platinum albums. No one comes close to what I’ve done with the my albums. OK, maybe redneck/Fifth Grader Jeff Foxworthy, but everything else is untouched! n Andrew Dice Clay performs Thurs., Sept. 15, 8pm. $39.50.

Kenzo kumbaya moment so tender it’ll bring a tattooed tear near your eye.

Venerable Kenzo’s The Sky Brady Band talk reuniting with “Kensington Girls.”

“Kensington Girls” is legend. How’d it happen?

There was so much bad press about Kensington ... and it got old after a while. We wanted to do something that was positive, to give the neighborhood a shot in the arm. [Bandmate] Alex Uskuraitis wrote the song.

By Tara Murtha

What was the initial reaction?

It blew us away. It was on every jukebox. Nick Moran, [a journalist] at the Fishtown Star at the time, promoted us.

He’d even put a picture of the band and pictures of Kensington girls in the paper. Basically I sat outside Al’s Record Spot on [Kensington] Avenue and we set up a card table, gave balloons out to the kids, and sold 45s up at K & A (ed note: local-speak for the intersection of Kensington and Allegheny Avenues) and Pat’s Music. We didn’t see any residuals from it, but we sold about 7,000 copies. And we did a march on K & A where everybody came ... and made a big circle and held hands and sang “Kensington Girls.”

tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com sa r a h g r e e n e

Of all the cool things to come out of Kenzo Pride, the movement that grew in the wake of last year’s Kensington Strangler killings—talk of reviving a newspaper, the Kenzo News online news show, late-night dive-bar reunions full of drunken Jeff Foxworthy-style jokes about how to recognize a real Kenzo—here comes the coolest: For the first time since “retiring” in 1986, Sky Brady is back.

Next week, as part of an ongoing series of Kensington reunions organized by unofficial neighborhood mayor Rich Antipuna, the Sky Brady Band’s releasing a compilation album featuring all-time classic “Kensington Girls,” a track that lived in the rarified air of neighborhood bars like the Silver Lounge, Egger’s Tavern and the Bubble Club back in the day.

But it’s been nearly impossible to find since the 45 went out of print more than 15 years ago. Even Sky Brady had only two left.

Now, the party people will be able to reasonably and righteously expect to hear it pound out of DJ Too Tuff’s speakers and can dream of dancing to “Muchachas de Philly” at your mother’s new boyfriend’s daughter’s Quinceanera in South Philly. PW caught up with Sky Brady hisself on the horn from his home in Delaware, where he’s an in-demand party DJ. We talked “Kensington Girls,” the reunion, and an epic

Any other obscure hits on the new album?

In the ’80s when Wilson Goode was mayor, me and Alex wrote a follow-up to “Kensington Girls” called “Philly Girls” [which shouts out] every neighborhood in the city. It was never promoted. We might’ve sold about 500 copies. I know I had 500 copies under my bed. [laughs] We gave it away around the neighborhood. On the flip side of “Philly Girls,” we have it in Spanish. It’s called “Muchachas de Philly.”

So what happened all this time? How’d the reunion come about?

It was like Eddie and the Cruisers. “What ever happened to Sky Brady?” I got a call from Alex in 2008, he said he was approached about doing something for the Phillies because they were going to the World Series. So we did a jingle called “Philly Phans.” When it’s in your blood, it’s in your blood.

I’m out singing again which I haven’t done in a lot of years, and it feels good. It all ties together. “Last Day of Summer,” that’s the single. The reunion next Monday will be the last day of summer, and Phillies are on their way to the World Series, and the “Kensington Girls” will be there because it’s a Kensington reunion.

Critic’s Pick Action Bronson In Death Wish, Charles Bronson turns vigilante after his wife is murdered and his daughter is raped. While he’s regulating the streets, he doesn’t stop to eat once. Not even a snack. On his debut, Dr. Lecter, New York MC Action Bronson dines about 100 times. There are tunes titled “Jerk Chicken” and “Brunch,” where he enjoys a “salad crumbled with bleu cheese and bacon.”

His insatiable appetite’s partly driven by the many blunts he smokes—“As it burns my thumb, I roll another one,” he brags on “Barry Horowitz”—but it’s mostly because the Queens carnivore’s a straight up-foodie. Dude also chefs, and you can get schooled by his YouTube cooking series “Action In the Kitchen.” On the mic his flow’s eternal, his storytelling Scorsesean. (Elliott Sharp) Thurs., Sept. 15, 8pm. $18. With Fel Sweetenberg + Burke The Jurke. Trocadero, 1003 Arch St. 215.922.6888. thetroc.com

Album reviews in 30 seconds or less

By Bill Chenevert

Lenny Kravitz

Black and White America (Roadrunner) Sounds Like: The 47-year-old’s still

kickin’, and this one (his ninth) is really not bad; primarily funk and throwback grooves but overall adult FM friendliness abounds.

Free Association: Kudos for playing EVERYTHING on the record, old man. Yous till got it!

For Fans Of: Isaac Hayes x Michael Buble, Funkadelic, decaf coffee, frozen yogurt.

WU LYF

Go Tell Fire to the Mountain (L Y F Recordings) Sounds Like: Four Manchester mates

who peddle what they call primal power pop; a strong debut of sad and sweepingly moody atmospheric gravel-mouthed indie rock.

Free Association: WU LYF (Woo Life) = World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation—Yes! For Fans Of: Stars x Nirvana, Tom Waits + Wolf Parade, Pitchfork boners, darkness.

Peter Wolf Crier

Garden of Arms (Jagjaguwar) Sounds Like: Veterans of the Wars of 1812

and Laarks, this duo of dudes on guitar and drums creates an excellent raucous sophomore effort of folksy, glitchy dream pop.

Free Association: A quietly charming and totally listenable fall record to grow into.

For Fans Of: Dodos x Radiohead, Black Keys + Iron & Wine, cozy harmonies.

Umphrey’s McGee

Death By Stereo (ATO) Sounds Like: The Indiana-bred jammers

are nothing but precise and clever, but they’re a live act; this record should only get patch pants-wearing hippies excited.

Free Association: Notre Dame grads with music degrees—are you pumped or what?!

For Fans Of: Phish x moe. + Zappa, Disco Biscuits, tripping balls, muddy festivals.

Hotel Lights

Girl Graffiti (Bar None) Sounds Like: Ben Folds Five’s drummer-

turned-singer’s on his third now, improving by mixing in more variety and punch, but it’s still soft and inoffensive hushed indie rock.

Free Association: 10,000 of these boring shits are no Whatever And Ever Amen!

For Fans Of: Bon Iver x Silversun Pickups, snoozy Shins, sensitivity and feelings.

Game

The R.E.D. Album (Interscope) Sounds Like: Super-solid rebirth of a

•

once-pathetic emcee whose feuding with G-Unit overshadowed his legit skills as a down-ass rapper with some powerful friends.

Free Association: Collabs with Odd Future, Drake, Snoop and Chris Brown—HITZ GALORE. For Fans Of: Big Daddy Kane x Dre, Biggie/Pac/Jay, Compton realness, egos in check.

BUSINESS MAN SPECIAL

WWW.SANSOMSTREETGYM.COM

WHERE MEN MEET MEN

I am a 16-year-old female. I have been in a monogamous relationship with a boy for seven months. A couple of months in, we began to explore oral sex. He has gone down on me three times, but I have never given him a blowjob. I’m scared to because I’m scared he will be disappointed. We fight sometimes because he feels it’s unfair that he goes down on me and I don’t go down on him.

On top of this, he started doing something that I don’t understand. He will stick the tip of his hard penis just inside the opening to my vagina, again and again. I guess you could call it “probing.” I know enough to know that there’s a slight risk of pregnancy. We are planning on having complete vaginal intercourse in the next few months, with condoms and birth control, but this is happening now and it worries me.

This is what I need advice about: I couldn’t handle a child at my age or the humiliation of being pregnant at 16 and having to walk around town with the evidence out for all to see. I would have an abortion. He disagrees strongly with abortion, but he’s not the one who would have to go through it all! So I would probably end up having an abortion without telling him, which seems completely unfair.

No Clue What To Do I’m going to take your problems one at a time, NCWTD, in ascending order of importance/assholery.

1. A disappointing blowjob is always less disappointing than no blowjob at all, NCWTD, particularly for teenage boys. So it’s always better to err on the side of blowjobs.

Yes, you’ll probably be pretty inept at first.

Take things slowly and only take him as far into your mouth as you feel comfortable with. (Feel free to wrap a fist or two around the base of his cock so you can control how fast and far his dick goes into your mouth.) Don’t let your boyfriend rush or guilt you into blowing him until he comes by pointing to all the times—all the three times!—that he went down on you. Sucking cock is physically trickier and more taxing than eating pussy. That may seem crazy unfair—hasa diga eebowai—but on the bright side, it frees you from having to get him off with your mouth the first few dozen times you attempt to blow him.

2. Probing is low-risk for pregnancy, NCWTD, but there’s still some risk. What worries me is that this activity makes you uncomfortable and either you haven’t said anything to your boyfriend or you have said something and he’s doing it anyway. Tell him no more probing, if you haven’t already, and if he initiates probing after you’ve made it clear that you’re not comfortable with it, break the fuck up with him.

Which brings us to…

3. You’re going to have to go Bitch Puddin’ on his ass, NCWTD. Memorize this, say it to him, and mean it: “If I let you stick your dick in my vagina and I get pregnant, I am getting an abortion. If you can’t live with that—if you aren’t willing to shoulder the psychic risk of knowing that your girlfriend would get or actually got an abortion, while she shoulders the actual physical risk of an unplanned pregnancy—then I am never going to let you stick your dick in my vagina. You’re free to disagree with my choice, of course, but you can’t prevent me from making that choice. So what’s it going to be?”

I’m a 25-year-old gay male with a foot fetish.

I have a wonderful boyfriend who lets me indulge by rubbing his feet. When I brought him home to meet the folks, at one point he

took his shoes off and casually rested his feet in my lap while sitting in the living room with my parents. I felt really weird about rubbing his feet with my parents looking on. My boyfriend thinks I shouldn’t worry because my parents don’t know about my kink and a foot rub looks innocent enough. Am I right to feel weird about this?

Bear Foot Fetishist

Let’s say your parents ran across shitloads of gay foot fetish porn on your computer when you were still a teenager. Are your mom and dad the kind of open-minded, sexually progressive parents who would ruin your sex life forever by initiating a mortifying conversation about what they found?

Or are they kind of closed-minded, sexually inhibited parents who would do the right thing and never, ever mention what they found? Hopefully the latter.

So it’s entirely possible that your parents do know about your kink, BFF, and that they were deeply weirded out when your new boyfriend went out of his way to give you a boner while they were sitting there. For all you know, your parents are at home right now questioning your judgment and wondering how they can get out of inviting your boyfriend for Thanksgiving without seeming like homophobes.

And speaking of questionable judgment: I’ve watched a lot of hot boys from small towns wash up in my urban hellhole over the years.

These boys typically leverage their good looks to get jobs making coffee/burritos/drinks/whatever, and then, over the course of a year or two, throw their good looks away with the assistance of booze, cigarettes, tattoo artists and professional piercers. I get it: Nothing stays the same, all things die, and these guys aren’t trying to earn social or sexual currency with the old fags in the hood.

But there’s this one waiter/barista/bartender/ whatever who works in a place near my office— I’m not going to say exactly what he does—who, having already gone in for full tattoo sleeves on both arms, recently stuck a pair of plugs in his earlobes. His plugs are moderately sized, but I worry that they’re going to get bigger and bigger until this boy—who’s just so damn lovely—turns his earlobes into earlabia. (That’s what they look like when people walk around without the plugs in.)

They’re not my ears, I realize, and this boy, like all the other hipster boys, can do what he likes with his own earlobes. But earlabia don’t look good on anybody. Please make a note of it, hipster boys.

I’m a 20-year-old female. I’m sure you’ve addressed this qualm many times: I’m wondering if it’s bad that I use porn to masturbate. I can pleasure myself without porn, but I enjoy it more when I do. I feel bad after I do it. Is it bad? Should I stop?

Worried Porn Girl

Not bad, WPG, don’t stop.

You should, however, be a conscientious female girl porn consumer. Superstar sex writer Violet Blue does an amazing job covering and uncovering porn that’s nonexploitative and female-girl-positive/female-girl-created, WPG, and reading Violet will help cure you of that niggling case of postorgasmic porn shame you’ve got. (For the record: Straight porn created by and for men can be female-girl-positive, too.)
