WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... F O O D & DR INK

PW’s Taste of Philly Food tasting events in Philadelphia are as ubiquitous as proud Eagles fans, not to mention as wildly diverse—from high-end, high-rise, $100-plus-per-plate nighttime affairs surrounded by splendorous city views right down to afternoon street fairs packed to the gills with beer-bellied revelers and stroller-pushing couples. There’s lots of room in the middle, of course, and that’s where Philadelphia Weekly likes to find itself anyway: right smack in the center of all things delicious. This Tuesday, Nov. 18, Taste of Philly, PW’s annual sampler’s paradise, promises to be another festive evening of amazing culinary delights and divine drinks enjoyed amid old neighbors and new friends, all for a reasonable price—a portion of which will be donated to Philabundance. So your night of good eating will simultaneously help produce one for others far less fortunate. Dozens of area eateries, bars and breweries—with specialties ranging from main-course mastermeals, original appetizers and fresh-baked breads to ice cream cones, fine wines and craft beers—have signed on to share their offerings at the three-hour PW foodfest. Among them are coZara, the Treemont, 4Fathers, Brü Craft & Wurst, Suppa, Doc Magrogan’s Oyster House, Hai Street Kitchen, Barra Rossa, Cibo, Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar, Maggiano’s, Smutty Nose, Frecon’s Cidery, The Other Farm Brewing Company, Chaddsford Winery and more. Title sponsor Jim Beam Kentucky Fire is sure to bring heat in a shot glass, 95.7 Ben FM will be spicing up the mix, and dance-floor fun is all but guaranteed by way of The Business, South Philly’s unofficial party-starting house band. Tickets for groups of pals are available at a discount, so plan a Tuesday-night after-work outing that’ll please even your most fussiest friends and still assure you’re all home early enough to get to the office effortlessly the next morning—with a great “Wow, you should’ve been there” story. // SHEENA LESTER Tues., Nov. 18, 6pm. $35.

The Daily Show Writers Standup Tour: An Evening of Political-ish Comedy

STAGE

Crumble (Lay Me Down Justin Timberlake)

Though no one really counts the two-plus years Craig Kilborn hosted, it’s been 18 years since The Daily Show made its late-night debut, and its role in educating audiences while entertaining ‘em—hip-hop icon KRS-One dubbed that practice “edutainment” back in 1990—has never been more vital. Sure, the cable hit’s paved the way for the likes of comic actors Steve Carell and Ed Helms, not to mention the supernova known as Stephen Colbert, who rode his Daily Show stardom right into his own now-iconic Colbert Report and all the way to David Letterman’s big chair. Still, the long-running Comedy Central program has many unfamiliar talents who have given it heft while simultaneously filling its wings: an amazing writing staff mostly responsible for the 20 Emmy Award statues TDS has racked up so far. Thankfully, that team’s finally stepping into the spotlight. Helming the event is another Daily Show alum: John Oliver, current star of the hilarious HBO show (and total TDS bite) Last Week Tonight, who’ll welcome TDS executive producer Adam Lowitt and staff writers Matt Koff, Jena Friedman and Trevon Free as they perform standup routines, take crowd questions, discuss what it’s like working with Jon Stewart and explore how their collective behind-the-scenes prowess helped redefine political satire in American culture. Will the names behind the most trusted brand in fake TV news keep it real? Come find out. // MICHAEL GUISE

Haunting Melodies Stephen King explains how he teamed up with John Mellencamp, T Bone Burnett, Susan Booth and Gina Gershon to create the musical Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, which plays the Merriam Theater on Thursday. By pAULA gURAn

heard them, I got goosebumps. I thought, “We could really do this.” Now, I’d heard stories that John was difficult to work with—had a quick temper and not much patience with people who couldn’t do the job. I’m more of a laidback, easy-going sort of guy... But—here’s the thing: John is only impatient with people who can’t do it, because he can. He’s the most talented guy I’ve ever worked with; he’s got a huge amount of energy, and he’s fiercely dedicated to what he’s doing. Those things all called out my own Type-A desire to excel. The other thing is, we were both trying something we’d never done before—that was tremendously exciting.

tephen King’s having a busy week. His latest novel, Revival, hit bookshelves on Tuesday—and on Thursday, Nov. 13, the musical he cowrote with John Mellencamp, Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, will play a one-nightonly show at the Kimmel Center’s Merriam Theater. It’s a haunting tale of fraternal love, lust, jealousy and revenge set to eerie blues ’n’ roots music—and if that’s not enough to get your attention, it stars Gina Gershon, too. King, who’s not just a horror author, not just a recipient of the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, but quite simply a genre unto himself, chatted with Philadelphia Weekly about working with Mellencamp, the show itself, and what T Bone Burnett had to do with it all.

Let’s go right to the fundamental question: ghost Brothers of Darkland County is being heralded as “the Stephen King musical.” is it the sort of story fans are likely expecting from “Stephen King™”? Yes and no. It’s not really a “Stephen King musical,” of course—it’s a “Stephen and John Mellencamp musical.” It’s kind of a gothic story, and there are a number of levels to it where you see, little by little, some of the lies stripped away from what people are saying. You finally get to the truth in the end. I think people will be surprised to see how funny it is in places. Hopefully they’ll recognize some of the dysfunction in their own families—everyone has a little bit of that going on.

this project has a long history. you and John Mellencamp have worked on this, on and off, for a decade or more. neither of you usually collaborate

Was this a challenge? i mean, neither of you has anything to prove.

T Bone Burnett, John Mellencamp and Stephen King: They make beautifully spooky music together.

as writers—your occasional team-up with peter Straub or your son, Joe hill, notwithstanding—let alone work on a project for so long. how did this happen for the two of you? John likes to say I don’t play well with others. The thing is, I’m not used to it as a rule, but John had this idea... He bought a cabin in some woods near Bloomington, [Indiana], where he lives. After he made the purchase, some guy told him, “You know, this cabin is haunted, because three kids died here.” John told me the story: Two teenaged boys and a girl were out there, they had a little to drink and started playing William Tell. One boy shot the other. The girl and the boy who had done the shooting bundled the wounded boy into a car and tried to get him to a hospital. They were going too fast on a gravel road and

hit a tree. All three were killed. So John asked me if I thought there was a story in that. And I said, “Yeah...” I was prepared to have a little meeting and then say, “John, it was really nice to meet you, but we can’t really work together...” But I was intrigued with how clear his vision was of how the story was supposed to work between one generation of brothers—in our version, they’re brothers—and the next, when the surviving brother sees the same things coming into play again. It felt like a tragedy to me. So I said: “No promises, but let me try to write a little outline.” I did—this was back about 2001—and John sent me back a couple of CDs of songs he’d written that fit the parts of the story. They weren’t polished or anything, just demos he’d recorded in his home studio with his guitar, but when I

Yes, we do. We do need to prove that we are still viable as artists. He’s in his sixties and so am I. When you get to be our age, you only have two choices: You get yourself in a rut... or you can try something new with the chance you could fall on your face. That’s what we elected to do. We had a conversation early on when I was writing the play—I said, “John, I don’t know how to do this.” He said, “I don’t either. But we’ll get the play and get the songs and find somebody to tell us what we are doing wrong and doing right.” That person turned out to be Susan Booth.

that’s Susan V. Booth from Atlanta’s Alliance theatre, who directed the fully staged premiere of ghost Brothers of Darkland County in 2012. She’s tremendously energetic, and she plays pretty well with others. She mediates between John and actors and musicians, and me... She comes to me and wants changes, and I roll my eyes and then realize she’s right. It’s really been the three >>>

>>> of us; Susan was the missing piece. Plus she was willing to stick with it and strip it down to this version that we’re touring and bringing to Philadelphia.

How does the touring production differ from full staging? It really goes back to where we started. I recall telling John early on: “If this goes to Broadway, fine, but I really want to do something that could be done in any community or repertory theatre in America.” Something traditional on an open stage. I don’t have much patience with those big E-ticket-ride Broadway shows like SpiderMan or The Lion King. They’re fine, but there are so many special effects. It’s all cotton candy; there’s a great big cloud of material, but it all sort of melts. I wanted to do something pretty basic. The production in Atlanta was terrific, but was bigger and more effects-driven than what we are doing now. This concentrates on acting, singing, lighting—effects take a back seat to the human story.

So, no plans for Broadway? Well, the tour actually plays a Broadway theatre for two nights. I suppose if they asked us back, we would go. Who doesn’t want his name in lights on Broadway? But it is not the major thing. Neither one of us ever looked at the other and said: “We’re Broadway bound, baby!”

The plot involves sibling rivalry between two living brothers—one a writer, the other a musician. How much did you draw on your own experiences?

One more person was integral to shaping the show: superstar music producer T Bone Burnett, who put together an all-star album of the songs. What did he contribute to the stage production? He wound up arranging the music. T Bone got involved back just after we our table readings in New York before the premiere in Atlanta. He’d done two albums with John. We wanted that almost-country sound—no built-up production with full orchestra and swooping violins—and that was in keeping with the story as well. He got that sound with John’s albums and had just come off a big success with Crazy Heart starring Jeff Bridges. He knew the playing field. T Bone is terrifically smart... and did a wonderful job with arranging.

Other than Ghost Brothers, what’s your favorite musical? Oh, that’s a good question! I love them all. I’ve got to tell you that I’m crazy about musicals. I don’t know what that is in me. I guess I’ve loved music my whole life. The first that comes to mind is Moulin Rouge!—and maybe West Side Story. Is that too dull? Hedwig and the Angry Inch, I like that one.

If you could have had your choice, would you rather have been a bestselling author or a rock star? I’ve asked myself that question many times. There are many times I wished I could have had the kind of success in rock & roll music that I’ve had as a writer, because it’s more energetic and more kinetic. But on the other hand, you know, rock musicians are like mayflies—they come and go. I’ve had a lot of longevity with what I do, so as a whole, it’s like the Staple Singers say: “You gotta be thankful for what you got.”

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

Yeah, I think things have worked out more or less okay.

So is the show still evolving? Yeah... We got excited when we got Gina Gershon to play Monique, the boys’ mother. John came to me and said: “What about toughening the character up a bit? Make her like the character Martha in Who’s Afraid of Virgina Woolf?”

I fought with John a bit on that. I wanted the older brother to be an aspiring musician, but John didn’t want that. He finally gave in—something of a miracle—and said okay. I said: “If we do this the right way, people aren’t going to see these characters as ‘you and me on the stage,’ but if they get some of that resonance, that’s fine, too, because you write about what you know.” What we were really interested in was a couple of brothers who were reaching for the stars, with one able to grasp them and the other not. And, as it evolved, it also turned out the mother has a preference for the brother who is sort of a fuck-up.

FOOD & DRINK FIV E B EER S

BITTER BEERS FOR THE BITTER COLD

Lagunitas Hop Stoopid. When Mother Nature demands you start wearing a jacket, many beer drinkers seek out the warmth of winter ales. For hop heads, however, nothing but a blast of bitter will do—and they don’t get much bitterer than Lagunitas Hop Stoopid. Lagunitas founder Tony Magee points out in his book, So You Want To Start A Brewery? (Chicago Review Press 2014), “Conventional style versus innovation is a theme that has dogged us over the years.” This is evident in Stoopid, a bombastic double IPA that somehow manages to be utterly drinkable despite the relentless hop assault it subjects you to. Resinous malts laden with rich pine and stabs of citrus bend just far enough out of the way for fresh, grassy malts to balance things out. How do they manage to walk such a fine line between acerbically aggressive and easily drinkable? Find out at Side Bar and Bru Craft & Wurst.

Green Flash Green Bullet. Who says you have to set aside the warming notes of boozy alcohol if you also want the sharp bite of aggressive bitterness? Not the folks at Green Flash, who serve up a ferociously complex beer in Green Bullet, a triple IPA that should not be consumed by the faint of heart. At 10.1 percent ABV, you get plenty of the former. And with gobs and gobs of New Zealand hops jacking the bitterness up, there is plenty of the latter, too. Pineapple, mango, grapefruit and pine dominate the aroma. They show through in the flavor, too, becoming dank and musty thanks to mingling with some warm sweet malts. The finish is aggressively bitter. Yes, hop heads, you want to try this one. Do so for a limited time at City Tap House, Grey Lodge, Interstate Drafthouse and a half-dozen other locations.

One of the prettiest app trays you’ll find—and the whiskey’s good. too. (Photo by J.R. Blackwell)

Penn Brewery Brick Biergarten IPA. In the winter months, even hop heads sometimes want their IPAs balanced with some soft, sweet malts. Penn Brewery, based out of Pittsburgh, provides exactly that with Brick Biergarten IPA, a traditional IPA that leans towards “comforting” rather than “extreme.” The aroma is floral, kissed by light citrus and breezy grass. It’s not pungent, though; the aromas are subtle. The taste follows suit, with the fruity hops standing aside enough to let some pronounced brown sugar sweetness show through. However, some sharp bitterness stings in the finish to remind you this is an IPA. If you’re eating some comfort food on a cold day, this is the kind of beer you want with it. Try it for yourself at McGillin’s Olde Ale House.

Snacks to Drink Whiskey With

Victory Moving Parts IPA. As its name implies, Victory’s Moving Parts IPA is something of a moving target. The recipe changes every four months, tweaked a little here and there, making every time you sit down for one an adventure in flavor. The local favorites at Victory rarely brew a dud, however, so even if you aren’t sure which recipe you’re going to get, you know it will be good. Batch 1 blends German malts with American and European hops, aiming for an easy drinking beer despite its fairly generous 7.2 percent ABV. Sweetness is mild, with just a touch of caramel and toasted bread, while moderate bitterness brings apricots, pine resin and a little onion to the fore. A little warming alcohol in the finish makes this a good beer for bitterly cold days. Look for the Moving Parts line at establishments like The Beer Shoppe.

Lagunitas Imperial Red. “Beer … is taken on faith by its consumers,” writes Lagunitas founder Tony Magee in So You Want To Start A Brewery? “It’s been a trip of discovery on both sides.” One of those discoveries has been that breaking the rules can be very fun. Take, for instance, Imperial Red by said brewery. You take a lowly amber ale and turn up the volume to 11. Then, for good measure, you dump bucket loads of hops into the mix. Traditional this isn’t, but it drinks like a beer that should have always existed. Those grassy hops offer plenty of mango and a touch of bitter pine for hop lovers, while sticky, caramel-driven malts give the beer a chewy heart perfect for cold weather drinking. Who says red ales need to be boring? Not the folks at The Whip Tavern, The Trestle Inn, Cook and Shaker and nearly a dozen other locations where this is currently on draft. | ERIC SAN JUAN

By Brian Freedman // bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com orget “I love you, honey” or “You look so hot.” The four sexiest words in the English language are being presented at Lloyd Whiskey Bar right now: Buffalo fried duck skins. I’ll pause for that to sink in. Because the dish, a generous portion of crackling rinds, each one shimmering in its traditional sauce and all of it accompanied by sweet matchsticks of apple, just may be the ultimate bar snack. Or anytime-of-day snack, for that matter. On the other end of the spectrum is the charcuterie plate, a blissful gathering of house-crafted meats that could, I’m fairly certain, convert even the most passionate vegetarian. Spiced pork shoulder, sweet-silky duck prosciutto, a complex pork version, foie gras mousse with a layer of spiced dulce de leche on top, a phenomenal pork terrine anchored by a foie gras center—this on its own could easily be a delicious meal. Ever since Chef Waldemar Stryjewski arrived at Lloyd earlier this year, he has been posting photos on Facebook of his various—and often drool-inducing—creations. I’ve been meaning to get there for a long time, indeed. As he and I have co-taught a couple of classes at Cook together, my anonymity was never an option. But the kind of food he is producing there is not the sort

that can really be altered on the spot for a reviewer’s sake—and he wouldn’t do that anyway. He is a damn fine chef. And the work he and his team are doing is excellent: conceived and prepared at a very high level, yet thoroughly devoid of pretension. And often, it seems, with a sly sense of humor. My burger alone would have been excellent, but the added layer of fried sweetbread on

Washed down with a beer, or an Old Overholt old fashioned, or, even better, with the Lloyd rye, it’s pretty much perfect, a cool, fully realized neighborhood spot that’s more than worth a visit or three, no matter where you live. 

here are a few Dan Snaith creations that are guaranteed good times: “Odessa” and “Sun,” the opening two tracks on Caribou’s 2010 album Swim, and the Daphni remix of “Cos-Ber-Zam Ne Noya” on 2012’s Jiaolong. There’s a distinction to be made between Caribou and Daphni, though they’re both Snaith creations. The first, Caribou, is his fullyrealized band that’s been issuing electronic-flavored rock and dance records since 2005’s excellent The Milk of Human Kindness. The other’s his one-off DJ-inspired persona who captures the mania of a warehouse dance party. The former has clearly inspired the latter. “Now, people are booking me to DJ. I’d DJed before, so I was excited, but people could see me in that world again after Swim came out,” Snaith says via Skype from London, where the Canadian now resides. Jiaolong, one of my favorites of 2012, is the kind of record, he claims, that gets made the day before a spinning gig, for which he’d remix and pull loops from favorite tracks: “None of them took more than an afternoon to make, which is a polar opposite of Caribou.” He did some DJing and, in doing so, decided it was time time to make another Caribou record, resulting in last month’s outstanding Our Love. “Let’s go back to thinking about music that has more structure and arrangements and harmonic movement and lyrics and melodies and vocal melodies,” Snaith says of the more complex and orchestrated LP. “It is really nice to have the balance of those two things,” he adds: the meticulousness of a Caribou record and the instantaneous pleasure of Daphni. The man’s seen it all, clearly, in at least a decade of touring, playing dates as varied in vibe as it gets, including before folks who stood still with their arms folded; inside a Manchester, U.K., warehouse project; and one unforgettable night in Liverpool, where “people were just freaking out. They’d taken loads of pills with the jaws just going. It’s fascinating to me,” he says. “It’s more fun when people are freaking out.” So, on this tour, amid musicians with whom he feels extremely comfortable, Snaith’ll probably be able to mesh a

Saturday Night Showdown: Jody vs. Lauryn

t’s been a while since a couple vicious pop stars came to town head-to-head, no? The first time PW declared a Diva Death Match, it was a classic: Jill Scott vs. Beyonce. This week, two truly classic divas, who outdate the aforementioned duo’s respective rises to fame, both have dates booked Saturday: Ms. Lauryn Hill at the Electric Factory and Jody Watley at Tower Theatre. To be sure, the following night’s Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life sing-along at the Wells Fargo Center is the concert on which many a Philadelphian has spent rent-money portions. But that’s neither here nor there. As a solo artist, Hill really only has 1998’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, ’cause that Unplugged jawn from 2002’s a joke. Now, to be fair, Miseducation is insane—and if we want to be kind, we can throw in The Fugees’ The Score. But Watley has 24 singles (Last year’s chart-dweller “Nightlife?” Yes, ma’am.), nine studio albums (not to mention this summer’s EP Paradise), two greatest hits records and 20 videos under her belt, so she’s no slouch here. Still, the two LPs Hill can claim are two of the best of all time, even if we know she’s not the same (sane) sister we fell in love with. Watley will certainly deliver professionalism and power, not to mention a much-higher likelihood for promptness and clarity. But Hill takes the cake by a few inches. | Ms. Lauryn Hill: 8pm, $59.50.

as they’re not practicing or self-avowed homosexuals,” Kuhn says. “The LGBTQ community within the Methodist church feels often that they are second-class Christians.” While staying at the Doubletree Hotel in Memphis the day after his Nashville stay, Kuhn attests, “I saw people visibly sobbing. These people genuinely support Frank, and they are definitely hurting because of the exclusionary policy. I saw it. It’s genuine. They are weeping.” It’s been tough for him to stay relatively neutral throughout the process, he says, partly because no one will talk to him if they can even smell the faint scent of LGBT-support in his voice. “People who support the evangelical movement have not been that open to discussing it to me, and they’ll tell me it’s because they fear I have a leaning bias.” He has encountered folks in the church who seem to hope the inequality will simply die out with the elders’ outdated views. “They just want to stay quiet until this goes away. They’re blaming the older generation for this mentality,” Kuhn says, pointing out September’s Chancellor Street beatings as a testament to homophobia’s enduring power. “Having seen the hate crime that took place in Philadelphia, there’s still hatred out there, even among the young people.” 

et’s face it: the church has a problem with gays. Most churches, anyway—especially Protestant denominations, like the United Methodist Church. From the UMC horse’s mouth: “The practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching. Therefore self-avowed practicing homosexuals are not to be certified as candidates, ordained as ministers, or appointed to serve in The United Methodist Church.” There’s this, too: “Ceremonies that celebrate homosexual unions shall not be conducted by our ministers and shall not be conducted in our churches.” But, they declare, “all people may attend its worship services, participate in its programs, receive the sacraments and become members in any local church in the connection.” How godly, right? Rev. Frank Schaefer, the former pastor of a UMC church in Lebanon, Pa., is the father of four children, three of whom are gay. He officiated his son’s same-sex wedding in Massachusetts nearly seven years ago at the risk of his official church bosses stripping him of his hard-earned ministerial credentials. In a nutshell, Schaefer, while standing up for his gay son, was defrocked, refrocked and, after a trial that ended just weeks ago, avoided being redefrocked. “If all of this sounds a little silly, at times it is,” shrugs Paul Kuhn, artistic director of Curio Theatre Company, a troupe whose Baltimore Avenue space is housed in a segment of Calvary United Methodist Church. “Every day for 10 years, I have been walking into a church where our theater is. I slowly started to discover that schism: Homosexuals were being denied ministry, being denied equal rights, and it was happening in my building, right across the hallway.” Curio’s The Matter of Frank Schaefer, which opens Friday night, has seen a few revisions—a total of 14, in fact, because Schaefer’s story has been an evolving one. In fact, Kuhn—who stars as the reverend—was in Nashville, Tenn., late last month where Schaefer was on trial for refusing to promise he’d abide by every letter of UMC law. The play is something Kuhn and his company have never really done before. “We started out thinking it would be testimonial-style, similar to The Laramie Project, and then we looked at Anna Deavere Smith’s personal-style narrative,” he says of The Matter’s initial structure. “Certainly right now, there is not a word spoken in this play that hasn’t been spoken or written by someone.” Schaefer himself has become an unwitting hero, according to Kuhn. Back when the minister’s son was coming out, times weren’t even remotely as welcoming and rosy for gay folks, Christian or not. “Same-sex or same-gender marriage wasn’t even a possibility. Frank admits to being a silent supporter and struggling when his son came out, struggling as a father. His compassion, his support for this movement, has been an evolution for him, and that’s what I really admire about him the most: how he is honest about that.” And there’s been conflict aplenty. You’ll shiver while reading the comments section of UMC.org, the United Methodist Church’s official online ministry, and their coverage of Schaefer, who’s taken to donning a rainbow-colored stole around his neck as a sign of solidarity for his LGBT parishioners and his children. Departure is his detractors’ primary threat if the UMC adopts more liberal policies. But exactly how many of its eight million devotees will go is questionable. “They accept homosexuals into their denomination as long

SCREEN REVIEW

Keep On Keepin’ On

(Director: Alan Hicks / Writers: A. Hicks and Davis Coombe)

rammy Lifetime Achievement winner Clark Terry is a jazz legend; Keep On Keepin’ On barely has enough time for all the archival footage of his trumpet prowess and contemporary talking heads who line up to remind a new generation about one of the greats. But Terry’s presence in this contemplative documentary speaks for itself—endlessly kind, with a mind like a Borges library of song and technique. His dual passions are music and teaching (he mentored the likes of Miles Davis), and even diabetes complications barely quell his desire to share what he knows. Both as a body of work and biography of a tireless educator, Terry would easily warrant his own documentary. But Keep On Keepin’ On is about a partnership, and the bulk of the movie follows Terry’s relationship with student Justin Kauflin. Kauflin, a young blind pianist hoping to make his mark on the art, has undeniable talent, and his struggles to balance professional drive and artistic impact provide a through-line of the emerging artist mapped against the career emeritus. Yet the art is only half the matter, and the crux of Keep On Keepin’ On is their friendship— endlessly positive, artistically focused, brimming with shared enthusiasm. And where their simpatico could be simple sweetness, Kauflin’s experiences in handling competition and developing a personal style offers a deliberate momentum. (In particular, the movie underscores Kauflin’s success as a joint purpose, some ephemeral third entity they work together to ensnare.) It’s perhaps inevitable that Keep On Keepin’ On takes on a certain melancholy air from time to time, amid professional and personal setbacks for its subjects. But the film nimbly avoids that direct line between the rise of one artist and the sunset of another. Instead, we see art as a connecting force and friendship as the best medicine.

REVIEW

The Theory of Everything

(Director: James Marsh / Writer: Anthony McCarten)

ovies often have trouble dealing with illness and disability without trying to simplify the story. Illness is often the beginning of a tortured-turned-beatific goodbye, and disability is either an obstacle to overcome or a devastating blow. The best and most deftly rendered moments of The Theory of Everything underscore the difficulties Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) faces, navigating advancing motor neuron disease while participating in scholarship and family life, without turning them into melodrama. When he fixates on friends’ casual dinner-party dexterity, answers an awkward question or watches his children running across the beach, director James Marsh and screenwriter Anthony McCarten seem determined never to let grief or longing overwhelm his sly, argumentative personality. It’s a skilfully ambivalent portrait of a man living with disability. Unfortunately, few other moments of The Theory of Everything reach that level of insight. It’s a suitably polished affair, and Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones deliver fantastic, award-ready performances. But somehow all that polish keeps those accomplished parts from connecting into an emotionally-engaging or unified whole. Everything tries admirably to avoid becoming another biopic of Hawking’s scientific achievements, but in the process, he becomes somewhat static, too detached from his work for us to feel his passion. Set opposite Redmayne, Jones, for all her steeliness, can barely escape suffering-wife orbit. And though the movie dutifully presents some rough patches, all that distant polish creates a palpable sense of rose-colored glasses, so that even as their marriage crumbles, their anger’s as measured as a conflictmanagement seminar. A familiar issue in the world of the biopic, perhaps, but it’s one that keeps The Theory of Everything from being as powerful as its leads could have made it. (G.V.)

The Vampire Effect

The Keanu Reeves-starring revenge fable John Wick has more in common with supernatural bloodsucker movies than you’d suspect. By Genevieve Valentine // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

his October, Universal began its studio-wide monster movie reboot with Dracula Untold. It promised a sexy leading man in suitably broody Luke Evans, who must have gotten advice from Hobbit costar Hugo Weaving on how to ditch the drama scene and go gangbusters with sci-fi/fantasy franchises until you strike gold. It promised a more relevant historical setting with an entire nation at stake (complete with villainous Muslims!), though the historical context was mysteriously stripped of its armies in favor of one incredibly put-upon impaler setting out solo against the invaders. And it promised some old-fashioned vampire mythology, which it delivered mostly via swarms of weaponized bats. But without the wholehearted camp of the Hammer era or the emotional heft of other recent vampires, like the motherdaughter duo of Byzantium, this reboot was left with a tonal mishmash of grimly sincere angst and accidental hilarity. Except for a few great moments—one of which involved vampire Charles Dance walking around in a cave—Dracula Untold ended up nothing more than serviceable. Scarcely two weeks later, John Wick slipped into theaters with an element of surprise that would make its lead proud. This revenge fable follows a retired mafia hit man who goes on a solo rampage to seek justice against the men who killed his dog—an out-of-nowhere low-budget pulp thriller that opened to unexpected acclaim. It was also a better vampire story than anything Vlad could manage—and not just for the way it resurrected Keanu Reeves from whatever shallow grave 47 Ronin put him in. It’s not entirely a surprise. The traditional cinematic vampire trappings have become so widely disseminated that they function more often as calling cards for unrelated genres than for anything involving fangs. The logline for the elegantly over-thetop Stoker was that it was a vampire movie without any vampires in it; the ability to apparate unexpectedly, kill coldly and fixate

on the unattainable were all it took to frame the story as a vampire tale. It gets even easier when looking at pulp revenge. The stealthy appearance of a lone and lethal figure, the supernatural speed and strength, the ability to survive a mortal wound and the Gothic existentialism of being the last left standing and doomed to walk that path alone: All, by now, are markers of the revenge genre more readily than the bloodsuckers. And John Wick has all those in spades. John Wick has pretty much everything; it’s one of the most exuberant noirs of the last decade, wholly dedicated to winking at the audience about its own ridiculousness. Wick spends as much time making menacing phone calls as he does rising from the retired dead—by opening the grave under which he sealed his tools of the trade, of course. Though we see the toll his rampage takes (we like our heroes to bleed these days), he’s got that supernatural speed, accuracy and cool regard that would make any vampire jealous. And regardless of where you draw the line on camp, John Wick is admirably efficient in setting up the rules of its world—from mafia hierarchy to assassin hotels with honor codes—with the same lived-in carelessness as characters on The Vampire Diaries discuss vervain for daywalking. Of course, John Wick had an advantage over Dracula Untold: Wick doesn’t operate with the same baggage of literalism as Dracula must, so it doesn’t require a vampire reading to do what it sets out to do. Wick’s gleeful and rapid-fire deployment of tropes is standard pulp procedure, and the tailored-suit and dingy-city aesthetic can be traced directly to any number of gritty revenge flicks of previous decades—plus the occasional comic book, once you take the typography and dialogue into account. But it’s also worth noting that so many vampire markers have become widely-used cinematic language that with a single man who emerges in black to spill blood and claim his territory, the movies can provide a vampire flick that’s better than an actual vampire flick. 

nce again, our fair city feels the sting of defeat: Despite almost making it into the semi-finals, Philadelphia lost a vote conducted by Gawker last month to identify America’s Ugliest Accent. (If it’s any consolation, we were defeated by Pittsburgh, who ultimately took the nationwide title.) But if our wudder and hoagies and the rest of our signature speech patterns couldn’t quite manage to earn themselves a badge of distinction, that’s OK. Because speech isn’t everything; it’s estimated that more than half of all human communication is expressed nonverbally. Think about it: With our facial expressions and body language, we convey information about our emotional state. With the clothes we wear, we let people know what cultural and economic groups we identify with. Heck—even our actions in traffic can communicate a lot to our fellow travelers about who we are. Actually, most of what our traffic nonverbals have to say, whether we’re driving, walking or cycling, is particularly telling. Don’t believe me? Here’s a handy guide to understanding how your behavior on Philly streets is understood by your neighbors.

Deciphering Car Horns

The noises that drivers produce through their vehicles are really glimpses into their very psyches. Something about being behind the wheel allows people to drop the façade of emotional stability, revealing their id for all to see. Rapid Succession of Honks: A single honk would be adequate to alert an inattentive driver that the light has been green for a while already; but no, that’s not enough to communicate your impatience and anxiety about wasting multiple seconds of your life. A quick series of repeated beeps lets the world know you have very little ability to self-soothe. Long, Extended Honk: You are currently in a fight with your partner, working for someone you despise or otherwise struggling with frustrations where you’re unable to unleash the torrent of emotion percolating just under the surface. Punitive Honk: This toot goes out after someone has done something wrong, when danger of collision has already passed, communicating to the world that you fear the civilization of our species hangs by a needle-thin thread and that if we let people go around dropping F bombs and wearing their pants too low, it’s just a matter of time until cannibalism. Catcalling Honk: Tapping on the horn to alert someone that you noticed she is female and/or within your attraction template is a good way to indicate that your brand of masculinity is the really dumb, fragile kind. You also know that you’re not attractive enough to ever draw women’s attention without a loud noise. Honk at Law-Abiding Cyclist: Even though you wouldn’t beep at another car simply for being on the road in front of you, you’ll do it to a person on a bike, because you hold many unquestioned and unfounded beliefs about how life “should be” that have not been revised since the 1950s. Soliciting Taxi Honk: For whatever reason, you picked this job driving a taxi. Seeing the breadth and range of Philadelphia denizens day in and out, you have grown misanthropic and ceased caring about other humans in any appreciable way.

Pedestrian Communications

Your walk tells the world a lot about you and your current state of mind. It communicates urgency, attentiveness and regard for anyone other than yourself. Crossing mid-block: This can be either efficiency or entitled

Biking in the park? That says: “All y’all crazy.” (Photo by J.R. Blackwell)

laziness; the indicator is whether you hustle or think traffic should stop for you. If it’s the latter, you’re the least helpful person on any Quizzo team, and you also hog the covers at night. …while looking the wrong way: A Philadelphia essential, this practice involves crossing mid-block, not only not looking in the direction of oncoming traffic, but instead gazing the opposite way, towards the cars that have already passed. It’s a simple, casual but effective way of indicating that if we ever institute eugenics, you’re a prime candidate for involuntary sterilization. Walking side by side three or four people wide on the sidewalk: Your fear of being alone for even a few minutes is greater than your concern for other humans without saying a word. Entering the intersection without looking, baby stroller first: Good luck to you, friend.

Bicycle Nonverbals

This group is still figuring itself out, and its members range dramatically in age, demographics and efficiency, although drivers seem to only remember the bearded hipsters. Riding the wrong way down the street: You lost your driver’s license after too many DUIs. Grown man riding a tiny bike: If somebody needed help finding percs, you can take care of it in two phone calls. Riding on the sidewalk: You are either an elderly woman who immigrated here from a more densely populated country or she is your spirit guide. Rolling through a red without looking: You have never had occasion to see what an emergency room bill looks like. None of these apply to us, though, right? We’re all considerate, attentive people who take the business of safe, efficient transportation seriously. This is just about other people—who we will actively avoid being like from here on out. Right? 

Help is Hard to Come By Homeless people don’t have much. Why do cities want to take away what’s left?

always so mortifying in our disingenuously polite American society. I wished that someone would come by and offer me food or shelter. I couldn’t just ask; I might get in trouble or made fun of. So I sat there crying. It was all I could do. Nobody came to help. I was so hungry. I was unable to think clearly, and I briefly imagined robbing someone on one of the quieter streets between Fitler and Rittenhouse squares just so I could buy a sandwich. I fantasized about hoagies, about hot pizza. Nothing made sense. I was too hungry, too cold. I ate nothing for hours until the weakness got too bad; eventually, I broke down and used the last two dollars I had in pocket to buy a sugar cookie at Starbucks. It was the only thing I could afford. I cried a lot that day.

rnold Abbott is a 90-year-old Fort Lauderdale man who helps homeless people by giving them free food without any questions. This, naturally, makes him popular with those folks on Florida streets who need a little bit of help. A playground for the rich, Fort Lauderdale, like most warm climes in America, is also teeming with homeless residents. Others think that Abbott does God’s work, too: The Sun Sentinel reports that in 2013, the Community Foundation of Broward recognized his efforts with an award. Earlier this month, he was recognized by the Fort Lauderdale police, too, in a different sort of way. They arrested Abbott—for violating a new city ordinance that “regulates [giving food to homeless] in order to ensure it is carried out in an appropriate, organized, clean and healthy manner.” Media nationwide have reported on Abbott’s arrest, during which officers ordered him to drop the plate he was handing

wo weeks ago, I found myself in an expensive restaurant surrounded by people I love. The fresh bread, warm from the oven and slathered with butter, still sticks in my mind as the highlight of the meal. As we ate, my cheeks were even ruddier than usual; we had been out in the weather all day cheering on a local university’s field hockey team, a harsh wind scraping against my face for hours. Then again, the cold wasn’t too bad—probably because I knew it was only temporary. Precisely two years earlier to the day, I was sleeping alone on the streets of Philadelphia, shivering uncontrollably from chill and panic. The stars, twinkling silently above me, still stick in my mind as the only thing I could bear to look at that night. They seemed like compassionate sentinels, standing reliably at their stations, even if I didn’t know where to be. I wasn’t alone that night. Project HOME estimates that, at any given time, 400 people in Center City are sleeping on the streets just like I did. As I huddled there against the basement entrance to a law firm off Rittenhouse Square, my cheeks felt raw from exposure—and probably ashen from lack of food. Before dawn, I rousted myself up so nobody would discover me resting there. It’s nearly impossible to sleep comfortably or peacefully outside: The streets at night are too dangerous, and frankly too interesting, to risk being caught by something or someone unawares. Later that day, hours after the sunrise first hit Liberty One and Liberty Two, reflecting beautifully as it always does regardless of season, I sat on a bench in the park. All the scheming I’d been doing for days to disguise my status as as homeless man fell by the wayside. I was too tired, too hungry, too cold. The cold would not leave me. I called my father and began crying to him through my prepaid cell phone that was running out of minutes. “I am so tired, Dad,” I sobbed. “I know,” he said. At the time, I couldn’t hear the compassion in his voice, the empathy for his youngest son who was crying pathetically like a lost little boy. All I knew was that he wasn’t helping me. In fact, he didn’t have the means to help me; he, like everyone else, was weary of my predicament. After all, as with many though certainly not all homeless people, my own choices had landed me on that park bench. Then again, Project HOME also estimates that 70 percent of homeless people in Philadelphia live with both substance abuse and mental health issues. When I was homeless, I was in that 70 percent. Either way, I was a human being in dire need of help. “I just want to go to sleep,” I said. It was as if I were praying at my father. I continued to cry, and passersby took notice— but would look away if I made eye contact. I didn’t care. I was exhausted. Usually I was hearty enough to push through low blood sugar, but now my hands shook; my legs felt boneless, and everyone looking at me seemed hostile, put out by my presence. I can’t blame them. If I saw some privileged-looking white guy in a J. Crew coat crying in Rittenhouse, I’d just assume his girlfriend broke up with him. I’d feel awkward for the public display of emotion, too; strangers revealing their humanity is

to a homeless person and arrested him on the spot. This, of course, is a headache for Fort Lauderdale’s public relations folks, who claim, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the law isn’t callous. From where I stand, the ordinance isn’t really about regulating food safety—it’s blatantly a mechanism to discourage handouts to society’s most vulnerable. It drives homeless people out of the parks and into acceptable environments, like controlled food distribution centers, which are presumably out of the eyesight of moneyed classes and tourists. Absurdly, days after the police arrested Abbott, the Sun Sentinel reports that police cited him again after they watched him as he passed out “chicken stew and cheesy potatoes.” Look: All this man is doing is helping people on park benches who need something to eat. Then again, even here in the supposed city of brotherly love, we like to step over—or zone out—our own residents in need. For instance: In one of the most offensive and, strangely, least discussed displays of anti-homeless measures, the city’s ballyhooed redesign of Dilworth Plaza outside City Hall, now dubbed Dilworth Park, is a kick in the teeth to Philadelphia’s homeless when they’re already down on the ground. Everyone celebrated the park’s slick, minimalist contemporary urban aesthetics. But the space’s new minimalism isn’t just cosmetic. There are no longer benches upon which all those people can rest. There are no longer shady trees protecting those people from the sun. There are no longer private areas where those people can urinate—a basic human need completely unaddressed in Center City unless you look like you have enough money to buy something in a store with a bathroom. Everyone, discreetly, has been very happy indeed about those bums not hanging around City Hall anymore. Not me, though, because I know the real bums are inside the building. Worse than the politicians, though, are the other bums in this country: privileged jackasses who dress up their disdain for society’s vulnerable in simpering platitudes about architecture and urban planning. Oh, I get it. Nobody likes to think about those antisocial types crying on benches in public parks. Yes, yes, sure, sure, we don’t want to encourage homeless people in Fort Lauderdale by giving them ready access to free food. We don’t want to think about, let alone see, the ramifications our society’s policies have on actual human beings. These policies include a lack of access to healthcare; a tax system that benefits the wealthy; redesigned parks that push homeless people off benches and into the gutter. No, we’d rather zone, or legislate, the problem out of our field of vision. Some will point out that those people oftentimes make decisions leading to their being homeless in the first place. Yes. I certainly did. The fact still does not change the reality that homeless people are human beings in dire need of help. I occasionally hear things like, “Good for you,” when people first learn that I was once homeless. They think my current improved status means I worked hard, played by the rules, and did the right things. Interestingly enough, I feel I did very little to climb out of that situation. Sure, I made a few decisions and started to look at the problems I’d created in my own life. But at every juncture along the way, at every critical point, there were men not unlike Arnold Abbott who helped me—and places like the once-welcoming Dilworth Plaza where I could rest. Sometimes, I wonder how many people like me will never receive the help I did, thanks to these obscene new tactics we’re seeing in American cities. n

My last boyfriend and I were in an open, longdistance relationship. We were together for a year and a half, and things were great fun. We considered each other our primary partners. Then I finished grad school and wanted to talk about moving to his city. He simply refused to have that conversation, and we broke up. It hurt—a lot—but we resolved to stay friends, and we are still close. A year later, he was diagnosed with cancer. I went to visit him at his request and cuddled him at night as he was wracked by chemo nausea and fatigue. There was some touching (boobs and butts help with nausea, apparently), but mostly I just spooned him and fetched him tea. That same weekend, I met his new, much younger girlfriend (19 to his 28). She is sweet and caring, but she was clearly uncomfortable with my visit, and I belatedly realized that either they aren’t doing the open thing or they haven’t talked much about it. I suddenly felt a little jealous and a lot like an emotional intruder. Not everyone understands the sort of relationship he and I had, but I’m lost on how to be a good friend/former girlfriend to him now. Am I jeopardizing his romantic life by staying his friend? Is it possible to stay close without making his current girlfriend jealous? Accidental Home Wrecker Good on you for going to see your ex-boyfriend, AHW. It was absolutely the right thing to do. As for his current girlfriend: It’s possible that your presence made her uncomfortable, AHW. It’s also possible that she’s socially awkward and you misread her signals. Or perhaps she’s never had to interact with a partner’s ex before. She’s still a teenager—the whole concept of exes remaining on good terms and being there for each other during a crisis may be new to her. If you and your ex are close enough to spoon during a health crisis, AHW, you’re close enough to ask him a direct question or two about his current relationship. Is it open or closed? If it’s open, are we talking open in practice or open in theory? If it’s the latter, you may be the first “non-primary” partner— or the first ex-primary partner—with whom this girl has ever had to interact. Meaning: She may have been more comfortable with You, the Idea, than she was with You, the Person. Another question to ask your ex: Will your being around screw up his current relationship? Your ex may still want you around even if the answer is yes. His current girlfriend is very young, and (provided I’m reading the timeline correctly) he’s been with her for less than a year. Right now, the support of his old friends may be more valuable to him than this new girlfriend. So don’t disappear on your ex because you have a hunch his new girlfriend might be jealous, AHW. Talk to him, let him make his own choices, and be there for him. I consider myself one of the lucky ones: happily married for decades, with a long-term girlfriend. GF is at this point part of the family, and while it hasn’t always been an easy arrangement to sort out, it has worked for over a decade. Recently, I’ve been talking with other nonmonogamous folk and find myself wondering whether I have any responsibility to publicly admit details about my multi-partner lifestyle. Though it’s probably obvious to those we interact with

regularly (GF is routinely part of holiday family functions and picks up kids after school, etc.), we have never been directly ASKED, nor have we told. On the one hand, I want others to know that workable long-term nonmonogamy isn’t just a pipe dream, but on the other, the details of my personal life are nobody’s business. I’m certainly no role model, but am I crazy to feel guilt for not being openly poly? Nonmonogamous, Utterly Normal, Yet Apprehensive Not everyone who’s poly can be out, NUNYA, just as not everyone who’s gay, bi, trans, kinky or poz can be out. But the only way to dispel myths about poly people and poly relationships—poly people are all burners, poly relationships don’t work out for the long term, all nonmonogamous relationships ultimately fail—is for poly people to come out when and where they can. So if you’re in a position to be out, NUNYA, you should come out. I am a straight female who has been in a relationship for the last decade. We are high-school sweethearts who lost our virginity to each other. We are now engaged, but for the last few years, we have been having a recurring issue. He wants a three-way desperately. He thinks about it all the time, and it seems to come up in almost every conversation we have. I feel that this goes beyond just a fantasy. We used to have a great sex life, but now I feel as if I have to beg for it. He wants this to happen NOW. I think it should just happen naturally if it is going to happen. We tried going to a swingers club, met a couple, and fooled around. He started to have sex with the wife, and it was OK. The wife was not interested in me at all, though. I agreed to all of this because I have always been bi-curious, but I never had the opportunity, so needless to say, I did not enjoy myself very much during this encounter. My fiancé was not satisfied, though. He still keeps bringing it up. I think it is a deeper feeling that he missed out because we got together so young. I have repeatedly told him I am fine with taking a break so he can go get some other ass before we get married, but he will not listen. I am completely satisfied. We are both happy and love each other. I just constantly have guilt about being the reason he can’t have what he wants. Is there anything I can do? Please, help. Not Enough For Him When a person says she wants something sexual to happen “naturally,” NEFH, what she means is “spontaneously.” Three-ways don’t happen that way. An opposite-sex couple that wants to have a three-way is gonna have to make an effort, NEFH. You’ll have to take out personal ads, go to swingers clubs and approach trusted friends or exes and carefully broach the subject. (A gay couple that wants to have a three-way? They just have to leave the house. Pretty much.) So your fiancé is right: This won’t happen if you don’t make it happen. But your fiancé is also being a douche. If three-ways are all he can talk about, and if he’s so obsessed with three-ways that he’s not interested in two-ways (with you) anymore, then he’s consciously or subconsciously sabotaging your relationship. Offer him a deal: So long as he makes the two-ways happen, you’ll help make the three-ways happen. 

Long & Foster’s Philly Center City Office Designated as a Toys for Tots Collection Site

PHILADELPHIA, PA, November 6, 2014 – Long & Foster Real Estate, the No. 1 independent residential real estate company in the United States, has announced that its Philly Center City office will launch its annual toy drive to benefit the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign on November 4, 2014. Toys may be dropped off seven days a week between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at Long & Foster’s Philly Center City office, located at 170 S. 6th St., Suite L-10, Philadelphia, Pa 19106. All donations must be made before December 10th. “Our team of real estate professionals is honored to contribute to the Toys for Tots initiative, and we’re thrilled that we can give our fellow community members a convenient location to make their donations,” said Camilo Concepcion, manager of the Philly Center City office. “It’s wonderful to know that simply by collecting toys throughout the holiday season, we can help ensure that less fortunate children in our area receive some holiday cheer this year.” Long & Foster offices throughout the MidAtlantic region are participating in the Toys for Tots donation drive. This year marks the company’s 24th year participating in the holiday collection campaign. Between now and mid-December, each of Long & Foster’s more than 180 sales offices throughout seven states and the District of Columbia will accept toy donations. Long & Foster employees at the company’s home office in Chantilly, Va., will also participate in the annual holiday campaign. “Giving back to the various communities in which we live and work is a top priority for all

employees and real estate professionals with Long & Foster, and that’s why we participate in the Toys for Tots drive year after year,” said Jeffrey S. Detwiler, president and chief operating officer of The Long & Foster Companies. “The U.S. Marines have built a tremendous program with Toys for Tots, and our employees, agents and their clients appreciate—and enjoy—the opportunity to share the holiday spirit with children who might not receive anything otherwise.” Once the toys are collected and presented to the U.S. Marines, they are distributed through churches and social welfare agencies to the neediest children throughout the community. Started by the U.S. Marines in 1947, the Toys for Tots campaign is an annual toy collecting drive that now reaches throughout 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Last year, the Marines distributed more than 16.8 million toys to nearly 7 million children. Long & Foster contributed to this effort by collecting thousands of new toys throughout the company’s Mid-Atlantic footprint in 2013. For information on this year’s Toys for Tots Campaign, call the Philly Center City office at 215-409-6900 or visit www.toysfortots.org. About Long & Foster® Real Estate Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc. is the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States. The company is part of The Long & Foster Companies, which also includes Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC, Long & Foster Insurance and Long & Foster Settlement Services.

The combined sales and equivalents for The Long & Foster Companies in 2013 were in excess of $51 billion. Visit www.LongandFoster.com for more information. About the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. The goal is that this distribution will deliver hope and the joy of the holidays to less fortunate children that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive and patriotic citizens. This collection unites members of communities for a common cause each year and helps build better communities and a better future.
