Regarding Michael Alan Goldberg’s cover story about including blacks in the ﬁght to legalize marijuana: I’m African-American and I don’t like the idea of catering to any speciﬁc community or race. I think this issue should be used to attract people in the business world. It was easier to legalize alcohol because there was a plan in place to sell it. Right now, all weed is sold on street corners and alleys regardless of what nationality is buying it. If we sell weed in CVS, who will pay for security, distribution and taxes? People are begging to legalize weed, with no plan as to how and where it is to be sold. H. SCARBOROUGH via philadelphiaweekly.com

Wow, is this the logical extension of our obsession with diversity and multiculturism? Does one’s race, class, gender or sexual orientation necessarily preclude one to have certain views on an issue? Perhaps social and political issues are shaped by things more complex. Perhaps minority communities are dealing with far more pressing matters than toking with impunity. Perhaps ALL people in these times are far more concerned with jobs, crime, taxes and education. Perhaps demographically challenged NORML could do better to make inroads with ALL manner of people. I’m white and I sure as hell don't see a lot of people like me blowing smoke over legalization. JIM RUSSO via philadelphiaweekly.com

I wasn’t aware of the racial disparity in NORML and it should be corrected. We need to make a lot of headway in both the African-American and Latino communities because polls show that a majority of both groups still favors the anti-cannabis laws. Of course, this will take some time to correct, but we should start doing this now. ZARDOZ via philadelphiaweekly.com

Special K Regarding Tara Murtha’s column about Kensington pride: Richie Antipuna is the best and he knows how to make you feel welcome. He also knows how to get people together as one and he’s serious about what he does. I love Kensington I would never call it North Philly. Antipuna would be a great city counsel member. I back him and all my Kenzos. SHAWN MALONEY via philadelphiaweekly.com

I would personally like to thank Tara Murtha for her time, her thoughts and her beautiful words. The people of Kensington, the originals and their children, we truly appreciate what you have written. We are a unit, a family, one that consists of more then just blood. It brought a tear to my eye because I was born and raised in Kensington, and reading this article, knowing what I grew up in and what it is today, well, it’s upsetting. Kensington was more then just a neighborhood, it was home. KIM DOWNEY via philadelphiaweekly.com

Kensington was once a great place! If you meet a Kenzo today, I guarantee four out of ﬁve are still friends with their childhood friends. We are a tight group. People that didn’t live there will never understand how we feel. I’m very excited about the buzz that Richard Antipuna has caused. KATHY BER via philadelphiaweekly.com

“Look at them … my God, they’re awful,” says 48-year-old Theresa Conroy as she stares out the window of her Roxborough yoga studio on a recent Thursday afternoon. She focuses her point-and-shoot camera on a group of teenagers about 20 yards away sitting on plastic crates behind the 7-Eleven at Ridge Avenue and Conarroe Street, smoking cigarettes and passing around a drink wrapped in a paper bag. The kids turn and look toward Conroy. They start laughing, get up and leave. One flips her the bird. Conroy—who spent 27 years covering Philly courts as a reporter for the Daily News before opening Yoga on the Ridge in 2008—is snapping photos of the teens to post on a Facebook group she recently created called “Dirtballs of Roxborough.” Conroy alleges that she has been persistently harassed, intimidated and threatened, and that her studio has been repeatedly vandalized, by the same group of 15 to 30 kids—boys and girls, a mix of ethnicities—who hang out most afternoons and nights behind the 7-Eleven, drinking beer and getting high. She says they’re hurting her business, other nearby businesses and terrorizing residents in what’s perennially been one of the safest neighborhoods in Philadelphia. “These little shits are going to ruin Roxborough,” Conroy says. Conroy says her troubles began in May of last year, when some of the kids stole food from a party she was throwing at her studio. Soon, they started banging on the windows during classes and screaming lewd comments at the women doing downward-facing dog poses. Conroy went out and confronted them. “I said, ‘Could you guys just be quiet, could you leave?’ And that’s when you get all that crappy lip, they start yelling at you.” Conroy says it quickly got worse. She claims the kids threatened to beat up one of her instructors; scrawled graffiti on her property; threatened to damage her

Abreu says that racism is something he’s dealt with his entire time at Penn, from whispered comments to suggestions that he was admitted because of affirmative action. “Racism at Penn is usually subtle,” wrote Abreu, who declined to comment. “It is a way of life, something that minorities come to accept. In class, it’s usually sly comments about us. In the dining halls, it’s people talking really loud, complaining about us to their friends. I overhear it. But this was the first time it was so blatant. ... I don’t know which experience was worse that night. Being called a ‘nigger’ or being questioned about belonging here.” Class, of course, also plays a role at a wealthy school like Penn. “You have to understand that Penn is extremely different from most schools, in that the vast majority comes from a much wealthier background,” writes Abreu. “I grew up in the projects, surrounded by crime and drugs.” Chad Dion Lassiter, who lectures about racism at Penn and West Chester University, criticized the whole notion of “belongBy Daniel Denvir feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com ing” at Penn.

took it down after a number of Roxborough residents—both kids and adults—discovered the page over the weekend and began posting vulgar and threatening comments aimed at her. “It started off exactly as I’d hoped, we had 225 fans and a lot of community support, and then they got on … the overall tenor of the adults was, ‘So what? We did worse when we were young. That’s Roxborough, you yuppie bitch, and if you don’t like it, move.’” One of the commenters, 22-year-old Roxborough resident Angelique Pearo, started her own Facebook group, “Help Take a Stand Against This Dirtballs of Roxborough Page.” “Does she have evidence of [the alleged vandalism and threats]?” Pearo asks. “Snapshots of children is not proof, it doesn’t give her the right to call them dirtballs. I know the kids in this neighborhood are not angels. I’ve seen kids fight. I’ve seen kids smoke weed. But … she cannot blame [this] on a specific group of kids, and take pictures of them and post them on the Internet without evidence,” she adds, calling what Conroy did “Internet bullying.” “It’s supposedly these kids, but she is aware that there’s a high school up the street [Roxborough High School] that lets anybody and anyone from North, South and West Philly go to this high school?” Pearo continues. “They’re bussed in and they take the bus

right across the street from her yoga shop. If she wants to complain about anything, she should complain about the [Roxborough High School] kids that are in gangs.” Conroy rejects that argument. “You know, ‘people coming in from out of town’ is code for ‘black kids.’ There’s a belief that it’s other people who are being bussed in who are destroying the neighborhood—no, it’s your own little crappy kids.” Though Conroy worries that the feud will spill back over from the virtual world to the real world, Roxborough police hope to defuse mounting tensions. Captain John Cerrone of the 5th District says police plan to “intensify our focus a little more than normal [around the 7-Eleven] and see if we can’t take some action that’ll slow this thing down. I don’t want anybody getting hurt.” Conroy’s adopting a wait-and-see attitude, and says she’s going to keep shooting photos and video of the kids behind the 7-Eleven— but she’ll only share them with police from now on (the American Civil Liberties Union of Philadelphia says she’s legally allowed to post pictures of kids on Facebook). And she insists she has no plans to move Yoga on the Ridge to a different location. “This is where I was born and raised. I wanted a studio in Roxborough, and I don’t want to give up on Roxborough. It would be horrifying if Roxborough falters because of a bunch of punk kids.” n

cians do not work for the administration,” he says. “The board and the administration work for the musicians.” Though this is the first time the Orchestra has filed for Chapter 11, older members of the Orchestra say this certainly doesn’t mark the first time that the musicians have been in opposition with the board. As a person who has spent a lifetime playing for the Orchestra, Wigler—who has played in the orchestra for 60 years—is no stranger to friction with the board of directors. “We’ve had many strikes. This is nothing new with us,” he says, recalling a strike the Orchestra had in 1962, which resulted in its first 52-week season. “We’ve always had conflicts … with the board.” Wigler was part of the original committee that formed the International Conference of Symphony and Opera Musicians, which “changed the lives of musicians everywhere.” Before 1962, he explained, the Orchestra’s season only lasted a half a year, “and then you’d have to go out and find jobs.” While Blackburn and Wigler point to the Orchestra’s board as the culpable party in the organization’s current financial debacle, Carol wishes to see Philadelphians step in and support the Orchestra more. “I would like to see more of a reaction, either pro or con from the Philadelphia people. After all, it is their orchestra,” he says. “I just think … everything about [the bankruptcy] shows the negativity on the part of Philadelphia.” Carol shares his sentiment. “A city is only as good and as important as what they produce culturally,” he says. “To me, the Orchestra has always been the No. 1 playboy in the cultural activity.” “I think it’s important that [people] not only support the Orchestra financially … but also as far as going again, to attend concerts.” Carol emphasizes the shame of such a prestigious organization being the first of its kind to be brought low by bankruptcy. He adds that the Philadelphia Orchestra has had a lot of firsts. “The first to be involved with a movie, the first to be on television, the first to go to China … the first to do an awful lot of things. It’s unfortunate they had to take a negative step and be the first major orchestra to declare bankruptcy.” Wigler also frets over the Orchestra’s reputation. “I think bankruptcy is just disgraceful,” he says. “What about Europe, what will they think?” Wigler, who fought in Germany during WWII, recalls listening to broadcasts from the Berlin Philharmonic on the battlefield. “They kept on playing even though they were surrounded on all sides,” he says. “That’s how much music meant to these people.” n

While the Philadelphia Orchestra’s bankruptcy proceedings have caused much grief and consternation among Orchestra members and fans, senior players in the Orchestra have thicker skin than the headlines lead on. Some retiring members, who fear hefty cuts to their pensions—should Judge Eric L. Frank rule in favor of bankruptcy—are resolute to rescind on their retirement agreements and play on. “They’re not keeping their promise, why should I keep mine?” says trumpet player Roger Blackburn, a 37-year member of the Orchestra. “They don’t care about the people making the music, they only care about the bottom line.” Last Saturday, the Orchestra’s board of directors voted to file for Chapter 11, despite opposition on the part of the musicians. It is the first major Orchestra to do so. “It’s disappointing,” Blackburn says. “I never thought this would ever happen.” Blackburn, who fears his pension will be decreased by 30 percent if the court rules in favor of bankruptcy, may revoke his retirement, which was scheduled for September. During the first court hearing last Wednesday, the organization’s attorney, Lawrence McMichael, cited the Orchestra’s “enormous” pension obligations as one of the factors in the organization’s fiscal woes. But longtime Orchestra members like 91-year-old violinist Jerome Wigler say the Orchestra’s board is to blame. The reason the Orchestra is in financial trouble is the board haven’t done their job, which is to raise funds, he says. “We’re the employees of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Our job is to play, and we do a great job.” Wigler, one of several musicians who were asked to retire early in exchange for a sum of money—in his case, $80,000—is also thinking of rescinding on his retirement contract. The bankruptcy claim is a ploy, he says, it “has to do with getting rid of pensions.” The Orchestra also stated that declining ticket sales as one of the leading causes behind the Orchestra’s financial strife. Wigler disagrees with this assessment. “The Orchestra is a charitable organization,” he says. “It doesn’t really make money on concerts. It makes money by funding. They’re supposed to raise funds.” Furthermore, Wigler says, “the Orchestra is not bankrupt. They have money.” But the board has “misused the funds. So a great famous orchestra [is] just literally run into the ground.” Former concertmaster Norman Carol agrees and recalls a statement made by the famous Italian conductor Riccardo Muti while he was the musical director of the Philadelphia Orchestra from 1980 to 1992. “He was the first one to say that the musi-

Ridley Drive in the Delco suburb of Wallingford is an unlikely home for a professional sports team. A sleepy cul-de-sac off the main road, it’s flanked on one side by a row of two-story brick houses, on the other by what appears to be a cow pasture. About a hundred yards after the turnoff, a small yellow sign warns: “Slow: Children at Play.” On a brisk Tuesday morning in March, the sign assumes a double meaning. Over on the pasture—which turns out to be the practice field of the Philadelphia Union, the city’s 3-year-old Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise—16-year-old Zach Pfeffer struggles to free himself for a shot in a five-on-five scrimage. Staring him down in goal is fellow rookie, 19-year-old Zac MacMath. Off beyond the sideline doing calisthenics with the rest of the squad is another rookie, 21-year-old Ryan Richter, a La Salle guy. These young men represent the new faces

of MLS, a league that’s gone through nearly as many incarnations as it has seasons. When it opened for business in 1996, MLS was hailed as the Zion of the exiled American stars who’d long been forced to toil in distant lands. National team icons like John Harkes and Tab Ramos flocked home from Europe to kick off a new era in American soccer. Next came the MLS-as-internationalretirement-home phase. Washed-up greats like German legend Lothar Matthaus and Mexican striker Luis Hernández arrived to great acclaim, only to disappoint fans with underwhelming performances and a distinct lack of interest. After that, a surge of young American talent—DaMarcus Beasley, Landon Donovan, Freddy Adu—gave the league a much needed, albeit temporary, shot in the arm. Then, in 2007, the David Beckham era. The English megastar signed a five-year,

$250 million deal to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy. To reconcile Beckham’s $6.5 million annual salary (the rest comes from endorsements) with its $2.1 million salary cap, MLS introduced the Designated Player (DP) rule, which allowed each club to sign one player at an unlimited salary with only the first $400,000 counting against the cap. Beckham’s arrival triggered frenzied speculation about an impending influx of expensive international stars. It hasn’t happened. Although MLS clubs have landed some marquee talents under the DP rule, including French striker Thierry Henry and Mexican and former Barcelona defender Rafa Marquez, they have been few and far in between. Only two Designated Players have been brought in for the new season, and the majority of the league’s 18 teams don’t have any. It turns out the coming of the Beckham era was a mirage. Instead, his four years in America have witnessed MLS’ evolution into its latest—and perhaps most lasting— incarnation as a home for up-and-coming talent. Young players, many still in their teens, now command a sizeable share of just about every club’s roster, and a number are rapidly emerging as full-fledged stars. Last season’s rookie of the year, Andy Najar of D.C. United, was 17 when he won the award. Fittingly, the biggest story of the new season’s first weeks has been the New York Red Bulls’ 18-year-old striker, Juan Agudelo. A product of the club’s youth system, Agudelo bagged the winner in the Red Bulls’ 1-0 victory over Seattle in Week One. Several days later, he equalized for the U.S. national team in its 1-1 draw with Argentina.

This trend is no accident. In recent years,

MLS has dramatically recommitted itself to nurturing young talent. In 2007, the league mandated that all clubs establish youth development programs, or academies, similar to those in Europe and South America. That edict coincided with the creation of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, whose Academy League features both MLS academy teams and top youth clubs. Complementing the academy system has been the Homegrown Player initiative, also instituted by the league in 2007, which gives clubs ﬁrst option on signing players registered for at least a year in their youth programs. Previously, all players entering the league were thrown into the MLS SuperDraft, where they could be scooped up by the earliest bidder. The setup served as a powerful disincentive against investing too heavily in local talents, who could just as easily end up with a conference rival as with the team that had devoted untold amounts of time and resources developing them. Since 2007, nearly 40 homegrown players have joined MLS. In December, then-15year-old Zach Pfeffer became the Union’s ﬁrst homegrown signing and the league’s fourth-youngest player. Pfeffer, a native of Dresher, Pa., who has played for local youth powerhouse FC Delco and the Under-14, U-15 and U-17 national teams, was called up in July to compete for the Union academy team at the league’s SUM U-17 Cup in

Houston. After impressing the coaches with his performances, Pfeffer was invited to train with the Union first team for the rest of the season. A few months later, the Union offered him a professional contract. Pfeffer’s ascent is the most conspicuous symbol of the Union’s place at the forefront of the youth trend in MLS. Last year, the expansion Union had the youngest team in the league, the average player about 24 years old. This year’s group is even younger, despite the addition of 39-year-old goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon. Twelve of the 25 rostered players are 22 or younger. Seven are rookies. A big factor in opening the door to so many up-and-comers has been the exodus of older American stars. Of the 23 members of the American 2010 World Cup roster, just three—Landon Donovan, Jay DeMerit and, as of last week, Benny Feilhaber—play in MLS. Three have left MLS since the World Cup for foreign clubs, with DeMerit and Feilhaber moving in the opposite direction. By contrast, the 2006 roster featured 11 MLS players and the 2002 roster 12. MLS Director of Communications Will Kuhns says the movement of American players abroad, replaced by increasing numbers of youngsters and foreign imports, reflects the league’s integration into the globalized soccer marketplace and has bolstered the league’s overall quality. “Now there’s a full cycle of talent in and out every year,” he says. “Every year the clubs are improving. If you look at Year 15 versus Year 7, you’d see a stark contrast.” It’s hard to quibble with Kuhns’ optimistic assessment. Attendance is on the rise—2010 had the third-highest average attendance in league history. MLS continues to expand, growing from 10 teams in 2004 to 18 today. By the end of this season, all but a few clubs will have soccer-specific stadiums to call home, a key league priority. And outreach to Latino-

maturity, speaks in measured but glowing terms about his ﬁrst months as a pro. “It’s wonderful just waking up, coming to the stadium, and doing what you love to do,” he says. “That’s the best possible scenario.” He has no doubt that jumping to the professional ranks at this point was the correct choice. “We talked about it obviously, and made sure we were making the right decision, but ultimately it wasn’t something I was going to pass up.” Pfeffer’s leap entailed more than just adjusting to the increased physicality and speed of play of the pro game. It’s also meant juggling a full-time job with a full academic course load and as typical a high school sophomore’s life as possible. Pfeffer takes two classes each morning before heading to practice. (He won’t get his driver’s license until July, so he typically relies on his mom for a ride.) After practice, he completes the rest of his courses online. As for missing out on much of the teen experience, Pfeffer seems unbothered. “I can still be a teenager, I can still hang out with my friends on the weekends and see them in school during the week, so it’s sort of just a normal routine right now.” Richter, a native of Southampton, whose previous visits to the Union’s PPL Park in Chester were as a fan, is also living a dream. Coming from La Salle, a school not known for churning out professional soccer players, Richter was nonetheless determined to make it as a pro. After a senior year in which he scored 14 goals, Richter sensed a future in soccer could well be in the cards. “As soon as the [college] season was

Americans has ﬁnally started to make inroads, positioning MLS to tap increasingly into the market of the country’s fastest-growing demographic. A few weeks into its 16th season, Major League Soccer has arguably never been healthier.

For the rookies of the Philadelphia Union, these are exciting times. They’ve entered MLS with vastly divergent backgrounds and pedigrees—some as youth national team standouts who toyed with playing in Europe before opting to start their careers in the States, others as relative underdogs who had to claw their way onto the roster. However they got here, though, they’re enjoying the ride. For 16-year-old Pfeffer, life doesn’t get much better than this. Pfeffer, whose slight frame and boyish face belie his impressive

over, I immediately started talking to people. I was just trying to continue my career wherever it was—if it didn’t work out in the MLS, then somewhere else.” Chosen in the first round of the supplemental draft, he had to prove himself over a month of training camp in Orlando and then Greece, where he impressed the coaching staff with his fitness and work ethic. On March 1, Richter was officially introduced on the Union website as the team’s latest signing. Like Pfeffer, Richter’s days are jampacked between soccer and schoolwork. Richter, who hopes to graduate in May with an accounting degree, is plodding his way through six courses this semester by combining night classes, online work and meetings with professors. However, he’s not necessarily eager to put that degree to use anytime soon. “My goal is to [still] be playing for the Philadelphia Union in five years,” he says. Goalkeeper Zac MacMath took a rather different path to MLS. MacMath, a longtime fixture on the U.S. youth national teams, stepped straight into the starter’s role as a freshman at Maryland in 2008, helping lead the Terrapins to a national title. Questions followed MacMath around for the next two years over when and where he would go pro. He spent part of last summer training with English Premier League side Everton, where he lived with starting Everton and U.S. keeper Tim Howard. MacMath returned to Maryland in the fall for his junior season but soon decided that the time had come to take the next step. “I know this is the best thing for my career,” he says. “This is what I’ve wanted to do … my whole life.” In December, MacMath signed a Generation Adidas contract, a program that signs about 10 of the top American college underclassmen and youth national team members each year and places them in the upcoming draft. The contracts tend to be significantly higher than the average rookie’s and include a stipend for continued education. Although MacMath had a couple options in Europe, MLS—and Generation Adidas—seemed like the best choice. Now in Philadelphia, he finds himself playing for three coaches— Head Coach Piotr Nowak, Assistant Coach John Hackworth and Goalkeeping Coach Rob Vartughian—he’s worked with before, either on the national team or at Maryland. For the moment, MacMath is stuck in the No. 2 spot behind veteran Colombian Faryd Mondragon, but he’s confident that this environment will help him realize his goal of becoming a starter within the next few years. “I kind of had an idea that for me it might be a process and that it might be a few years before I settled into a starter” he says. “I’m taking everything I can from [Mondragon] as long as I can. And I know what my role is.”

ing camp, followed immediately by another two-week camp in Greece, which included two exhibition matches, extensive tactical work, and what Coach Nowak described as “some kind of initiation for the rookies.” Pressed for details, none of the rookies would budge. “I don’t want to be the one to give up the goods and have to go through that again,” laughed 20-year-old forward Chris Agorsor. “It wasn’t pleasant.” The first weeks back home have offered little respite. The season opener in Houston came just nine days after the team returned to the States. Meanwhile, the rookies have been undergoing a complete immersion into the life of a professional athlete—practice, film sessions, media requests, public functions. One of these, a Meet the Players event, drew hundreds of fans to PPL Park days before the home opener. The event’s success was hardly a surprise for one of the best-supported teams in the league. In its first season, the Philadelphia Union had the fourth-highest average attendance in MLS. And despite lacking any real stars within their ranks, Union players are treated like royalty by their followers, especially their fanatical supporters club, the Sons of Ben. At home games, the Sons of Ben occupy the stadium’s River End along the banks of the Delaware. When the starting lineup is introduced, the announcer calls out each player’s first name, and the crowd responds by shouting his last. By far the loudest—and longest—cry is reserved for last season’s leading goal scorer, French forward Sebastien LeToux, whose last syllable is drawn out as much as humanly possible—“LeTooooooo!!!” Throughout the game, the Sons of Ben wave their blue and yellow flags, mercilessly taunt opposing players, and chant and sing. If you close your eyes briefly and somehow block out the sound of Philly-accented men hurling abuse at the ref, you might just convince yourself you’ve landed in one of Europe’s famed soccer meccas. One of their favorite songs goes to the tune of Little Peggy March’s “I Will Follow Him”:

status in the American sports hierarchy. The new stadiums have drawn rave reviews, but training facilities can lag well behind. Each day, the Union players hop into a couple vans for the 10-minute ride from the locker room at PPL Park to the Wallingford training site, which, if passable, doesn’t exactly scream professional caliber. One rainy day, a woman from the neighborhood took advantage of practice’s cancellation to give her dogs some exercise on the not-in-use grassy pasture. And the rookies aren’t exactly paid handsomely, either. The minimum salary for a player in one of first 24 spots on the roster is $42,000. For the remaining six (MLS rosters are capped at 30), that number is $32,600. By contrast, the minimum salary in the NHL this season is $500,000. In the NBA, it’s more than $750,000. That said, the current contract rules agreed to last spring in the new collective bargaining agreement represent a marked improvement from just a couple years ago. As recently as 2009, a so-called developmental player could make as little as $15,300. The new agreement also won all players full benefits, including health, dental, disability and life insurance coverage, a guaranteed 401(k) contribution from the league and injury protection.

We love ya, we love ya, we love ya And where you go we’ll follow, we’ll follow, we’ll follow ’Cause we support the Union, the Union, the Union And that’s the way we like it, we like it, we like it Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhhhh …

In addition to the low salaries, most young players have virtually no job security. Only players at least 24 years old and with three years of MLS experience—or Generation Adidas signees—have their contracts automatically guaranteed. The result is an extraordinary amount of turnover. Of the Union’s 25 rostered players, just 12 are holdovers from last season. Some rookies who don’t make the cut at their first club go on to find success elsewhere. But the dream can quickly turn into a fool’s errand. MLS’s history is littered with feel-good stories of promising local talents who didn’t quite make it. The story of Danny Cepero, the former Penn goalkeeper drafted by the New York Red Bulls in 2007, highlights both the possibilities and pitfalls of chasing the MLS dream. After spending most of the 2008 season on loan with the minor-league Harrisburg City Islanders, a failed drug test by the Red Bulls’ starting keeper in October catapulted Cepero into the lineup.

But it’s not all fame and adulation. To be an MLS player is to lay claim to a status that combines elements of both NBA superstardom and after-work softball team membership. MLS remains, in many ways, a fledgling experiment. Average attendance, while up substantially from its nadir in 2000, still hovers below 17,000 for a 17-home-game season. Few people watch on TV; ESPN2’s ratings for its MLS coverage dropped over 12 percent between 2009 and 2010 to just 249,000 viewers per game. In major media markets, football, basketball, baseball and often hockey continue to overshadow soccer. The players no doubt sense their middling

He couldn’t have asked for a better start. On his debut, a late regular season victory over Columbus, Cepero launched a free kick from deep inside his own half toward the opposition goal. With the aid of a hefty bounce off the Giants Stadium turf, the ball eluded the desperate leap of the Columbus goalie, nestling in the back of the net. Cepero was the first goalkeeper to score an MLS goal. Things got even better, as Cepero led the Red Bulls to their first championship game. He went on to make 13 regular season appearances the next season. But 2009 turned out to be a disaster for the Red Bulls, who followed up their second place finish with a bottom-of-the-table showing. The new coaching regime brought in for 2010 cleaned house, and having posted a 2-8-3 record in 2009, Cepero was released. He returned to Harrisburg for the 2010 season, but in an interview last July, he made clear he didn’t see a long-term future for himself in soccer. “In order to make money at this you have to make a life change and go to Europe. That doesn’t really suit me. I have a girlfriend back in New York. I’m more comfortable in New York rather than moving city to city. And I feel like I’m wasting an Ivy League degree.”

In recent years, MLS has dramatically recommitted itself to nurturing young talent. Sure enough, Cepero retired before the 2011 season. He now works as a sales consultant.

When the Union signed Richter in March, the press release advertised his addition to the roster as evidence that, “If you’re a star college soccer player in Philadelphia, you will get an opportunity to play for your city’s professional team.” J.T. Noone, a four-year starter at Temple fit that description, and after joining the Union as a trialist in early 2010, he signed a contract in July. Noone spent most of the season playing for the Union’s now-affiliate Harrisburg City Islanders. He returned to the Union this season for preseason training but was ultimately waived—on the same day Richter signed. Richter acknowledges the immediate pressure to prove himself but tries not to let it weigh too heavily. “It’s an unsure situation, but it’s a job and that’s the reality of it … the job is playing soccer, and you can’t really ask

for anything more than that.” But it’s not only unheralded debutants like Richter who find themselves under the gun. Some of the league’s most hyped rookies have quickly seen their careers fizzle. Like wunderkind Freddy Adu, who joined D.C. United at 14, accompanied by prophecies of impending stardom. After three-and-a-half disappointing MLS seasons, Adu moved to Europe in 2007. He’s since been shipped around to five different clubs, the current one a Turkish second-division side. Chris Agorsor is one Union rookie with a lot to prove. The 2008 Gatorade National Boys Soccer Player of the Year and National Soccer Coaches Association of America Player of the Year his senior year of high school, Agorsor was considered one of the next big things in American soccer, but he struggled through two injury-plagued seasons at the University of Virginia. Agorsor insists that he enters his professional career with no added burden to make amends for his college disappointment. However, he’s clearly intent on making a strong first impression. Among the rookies, he articulates the clearest sense of his role in the team this season. “I think we’re going to have a fluid rotation, and I see myself contributing, whether starting or otherwise.” So far, though, none of the seven rookies has seen a minute of action through the team’s first five regular season games, though rookie midfielder Michael Farfan did play all 120 minutes in the Union’s U.S. Open Cup loss to D.C. United two weeks ago. Richter and Pfeffer have yet to make the 18man match roster, which means watching home games from a box in the stadium and away games on television. Richter is still optimistic that he’ll eventually get his shot, though he’s not eager to embrace life on the fringes. For the Union’s opener in Houston, several of the nonrostered players went to a bar for a watch party, but Richter opted to tune in by himself at home. “I don’t want to be out in public watching the team that I play for. I don’t know. I don’t feel like it’s something you should be doing,” he says. Less than 24 hours after the first team defeats regional rival New York Red Bulls in Week Four in front of a packed house at PPL Park, the reserve squad makes the 10-minute drive out to Wallingford to take on their Red Bull counterparts. The reserve league, resurrected this season after a two-year hiatus, looks to be where this rookie crop will see most of its game time this season. Six of the seven start against the Red Bull reserves, with only MacMath left on the bench. Before a smattering of onlookers, Agorsor notches the game winner with 10 minutes left to play. Compared with the first team’s triumph the night before, the reserves’ victory attracts little notice. But for the rookies, still getting their bearings in the rough-andtumble world of professional soccer, it’s a victory all the same. Richter tweets after the game, “The future is lookin real nice for the Union. Good win today fellas.” Amid all the uncertainty, one thing’s for sure: when they do step on the PPL Park turf for the first time in Union colors, these rookies will be in for one hell of a welcome from the Philly faithful. n

The Kills

rankly, we’re a little surprised that badass, raven-haired singer-guitarist Alison Mosshart has decided to keep on keepin’ on with her minimalist gutter-rock duo the Kills, what with all the success her other band, the Dead Weather (which includes Jack White), has had these past couple of years. We also figured maybe the Kills had run its course after a decade—that Mosshart and singer-guitarist Jamie Hince (plus their trusty drum machine) had exhausted all the sonic avenues their set-up had to offer. But their dark, capricious new Blood Pressures shows they’re not done with the emotional bloodletting just yet. And we’re grateful for at least one more opportunity to experience the menace and primal sexual tension of a Kills live show.

poetry

Punk as Poetry, Poetry as Punk Underground literati Matt Whispers and Richard Wehrenberg Jr., self-publishing poets from the Chicago scene, are on tour reading works informed by their experiences in punk bands and as working sops like you and me. Weaved through their poetry are themes about the conflict between creative impulse and working to survive. Whispers writes a serial poetry zine called Effigy, in its eighth issue, and Wehrenberg is the founder of Monster House Press, which prints chapbooks, the little inexpensive poetry books that give underground poets an avenue to publish, since mainstream publishers rarely give new poets a passing glance. Most of all, the readings will focus on the universal American artists’ dilemma: struggling for a voice, an audience and a living when you’re creative and really, really broke. ADA KulESzA 7pm. Free.

Illinois Multi-instrumentalist Chris “Arch” Archibald seems to have an endless mental capacity for

musical ideas. The Adventures of Kid Catastrophe, from 2009, is the finest example of this. It sees the songwriter plucking a banjo one minute, and crooning over a melancholic piano before laying down hip-hopish backbeats the next. It’s an elusive record that’s fun trying to follow on a bold ride of genre-blurring madness (not to mention, the digital release comes with a short film, chronicling Arch’s relationship with his goldfish). The Bucks County ensemble quietly gave away some free tunes on their Facebook page recently from an upcoming LP titled Lemonade Stand. The band will likely throw a few of them onto the setlist and play them with raucous fervor. KEVIN BROSKY 9pm. $10-12. With BC Camplight. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave. johnnybrendas.com

science

Seemed Right at the Time Those wacky scientists—they used to think the earth was the center of the universe, that living creatures were spontaneously generated from inanimate matter (e.g. mud begat frogs, and scorpions came from basil leaves), and that through alchemy you could turn common metals into gold. No wonder scientists piss off the Insane Clown Posse. This evening, as part of the Philadelphia Science Festival, a half-dozen science scholars from Penn, Drexel, Haverford, the University of Massachusetts and others will team up with performers from the Philly Improv Theater for what promises to be some pretty hilarious sketches to show how and why scientists of the past came to believe, and promulgate, some of the hokiest, most ludicrous theories imaginable.

Appleseed Cast

• 20

From emo to post-punk to post-rock, Appleseed Cast has managed to weather the genrestorm. Formed in 1997 and based in Lawrence, Kan., the fourpiece have since released six studio albums: their most recent was 2009’s Sagarmatha, which they followed this year with the Middle States EP. While they haven’t earned comparable critical praise, frontman Christopher Crisci holds a noble position alongside fellow indie veterans like Built to Spill’s Doug Martsch and Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus. Much like the town they call home, perhaps they haven’t received proper recognition due to the spotlight’s fixation on the over-hyped coasts. None of this bothers them, though. The music remains urgently orchestral and the sadness epic. EllIOtt ShARp 7:30pm. $12. With A Great Big Pile of Leaves + KC Jones. First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St. 215.821.7575. r5productions.com

sports

Celebration Paddle Poor Kate Middleton. Although she’s marrying Prince William today, that’s small consolation for the fact that the royal minders prevented her from racing a dragon boat across the Channel in 2007. The Schuylkill Dragons haven’t forgotten, however. As a wedding gift, they’ll be donning gowns and launching their vessel for a celebratory paddle between the Strawberry Mansion and Columbia Avenue bridges. The event may be tongue-in-cheek, but it is also intended to recruit new members to the team. For a decade, the Dragons have been training women at all skill-levels to participate in this ancient Chinese sport, which requires endurance, strength and teamwork. The rowers, who range in age from their 20s through their 70s, enjoy the camaraderie as much as the competition. So set your straw boater at a rakish angle, spread a picnic on the Schuylkill’s verdant banks, and raise a glass of Pimm’s as these athletes race past. RAYMOND SIMON 7pm. Free. Schuylkill River, 2200 Kelly Drive. schuylkilldragons.org

food

Flavors of the Avenue For a while, “grabbing something to eat down on Passyunk” typically meant a cheesesteak from Pat’s or Geno’s. But in recent years—as Philly foodies know well—there’s been an explosion of top-notch restaurants setting up shop alongside some old favorites, making for a dizzying number of meal-time options along the Avenue. Today you get a chance to soak in some East Passyunk attytood between Dickinson and Morris as you sample signature dishes and drinks from 20 establishments, including Plenty, Tre Scalini, Mondial Café, Cantina Los Caballitos, Paradiso, Salt and Pepper, and, of course, Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar. Admission is $30, and it gets you food, wine and beer; If you drop $50 for VIP treatment you get specialty cocktails and first tasting of premium menu items available in limited quantities. There’ll be live music and a craft market on hand, and the whole shebang goes down under the big top, so the Ave will be hoppin’ rain or shine. M.A.G. Noon. $30-$50. Various locations, East Passyunk Ave. visiteastpassyunk.com

The ticket price includes four hours of tasting, a food voucher, a tasting glass and a T-shirt. Hear that? Tshirt. Still plenty of time for a nap and PIFA’s street fair. A.K. 1pm. $45.

Since 2002, Brooklyn’s Parts & Labor have crafted powerhouse tunes grounded on maximalist momentum and catchy melodies. Following tours with TV on the Radio and Deerhoof, and modest praise for their explosive LPs Stay Afraid (2006) and Mapmaker (2007), P&L threw critics and fans a curveball with Escapers Two (2008). Billed as an EP, it featured 51 songs in under 30 minutes, and showed the band expressing their allegiance to experimentation and disinterest in becoming just another verse-chorus-verse indie-rock act. On their new album released by Jagjaguwar in early March, Constant Future, they find common ground, building a bridge between sparkling noise, pummeling beats, clever hooks, and anthemic, sing-a-long crescendos.

People’s Movie Night: Not Just a Game “You better turn on to the political part of sports,” former PW scribe Dave Zirin urged fans in a recent interview, “or that political part of sports is going to turn on you.” As a columnist for hoops monthly SLAM and sports editor of The Nation, a journal of leftist thought, Zirin is in a unique position to know. He blames the corporatization of athletics that began during Michael Jordan’s playing days for the resolutely anti-political atmosphere now dominating both locker rooms and the evening highlights. But as the documentary he co-wrote demonstrates, not so long ago stars like Muhammad Ali and Billie Jean King spoke and acted boldly. The sports reporter also believes it’s foolhardy for the folks in the cheap seats to ignore blatantly politicized issues like Title IX and public funding for stadiums. Zirin will be on hand for a Q&A; go argue sports in person instead of calling WIP. R.S. 7pm. Free. Wooden Shoe Books, 704 South St. 215.413.0999. woodenshoebooks.com

Rise Against + Bad Religion The pupil’s surpassed the teacher, and it’s out of respect that Bad Religion landed a opening slot. Three decades in the Californian gray punk lion looks back on a label legacy (Epitaph), a couple radio hits (“21st Century Digital Boy”), and scores of imitators, most notably Rise Against. The Chicago quartet plays similarly heady, melodic hardcore anthems with steely metal-clean guitar and an impassioned vocalist (Tim McIlrath) who even sounds like BR’s Greg Graffin. The rare major label legacy act (eight years on Geffen), each of their four discs has done better than the last, highlighted by their latest Endgame, which went to No. 2. Bad Religion’s not dead, but the crown’s been passed. CHRIS PARKER 7pm. $35. With Four Year Strong. Electric Factory, 421 N. Seventh St. 215.336.2000. electricfactory.com.

Think back to 125th Street in Harlem and the legendary Apollo Theatre, where a host of musical deities such as The Jackson Five, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye and Mariah Carey hit the scene. Amateur Night was the original American Idol, but instead of three industry big-wigs deciding your destiny, the crowd held your future in their hands. If you killed it, they cheered you on. If you were too pitchy, they booed and pointed for you to leave the stage as the infamous Sandman came and escorted you off. Now, this tradition is being reborn in Philly thanks to the JTor, Inc. Come out as 11 contestants brave the crowd in hopes of moving on to immortality in this showcase hosted by homegrown comedian Malcolm Hill and DJ Truuf. It’s time for Philly to see and show what it can do. Hopefully, the Sandman will NOT cometh. R.K.S.

the ’90s, when music was a different animal and R&B made plenty of noise. The slow jams of the day were guaranteed panty-droppers and, believe it or not, everybody didn’t sound like a bootleg R. Kelly, nor were they closeted, wannabe rappers. In any case, the opportunity to relive these days has arrived. R&B legends K-Ci & Jo-Jo, Carl Thomas, Case, Dru Hill and Next will be taking the stage making the ladies swoon with their classics from the days of yore. See some of the drafters of the modern-day R&B blueprint show you how it’s done. Ladies break out the jellies, doorknockers and phosphorescent hair.

Perfect Combination A transgender activist shares the best of his two worlds.

By Chip Alfred

Phalloplasty, one of the bottom surgery options, involves constructing a penis. Most phalloplasty procedures require multiple surgeries and can leave large areas of scarring. Erotic sensation may be diminished, and problems with urination—like leakage—can occur. It’s also costly, running anywhere between $50,000 and $150,000, and is typically not covered by health insurance. Metoidioplasty, a less expensive option— roughly $2,000 to $20,000, depending on the surgeon and how many surgical procedures are performed—involves creating a small phallus from the clitoris. The operating time for a metoidioplasty is about three to five hours, but the procedure may include additional surgeries, such as a vaginectomy, testicular implants or a hysterectomy. The resulting penis is very small, not even large enough for sexual penetration, and the risks are similar to phalloplasty. Sampson chose not to have either procedure. “How a person identifies doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the physical equipment they’re working with,” says the now 43-year-old. “For some people, the choice is transition or die. They are not going to make it until they present as their chosen gender. I transitioned because I wanted to bring together my male and female energies.”

Growing up in Evanston, Ill., Samp-

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY April 27 - May 3, 2011 • 22

Jayden Sampson remembers the exact moment he said goodbye to the woman he once was. It was a bright, sunny day in May 2002, and the then-35-year-old was riding in the funeral procession for her grandfather, who was a firefighter and World War II veteran. Sampson recalls the tear she shed as the car passed by a local firehouse and every fireman stood at attention. At the memorial service, she listened to family members’ stories of her grandfather’s wartime heroism—none of which she had heard before. Sampson says he decided to transition from male to female “at the point they released the doves. I remember thinking, ‘my grandfather lived a very courageous life. I wonder if I’m living as courageous and authentic a life.’” There were only two things standing in the way of his transition. The first was the fear of no longer being able to sing with the Anna Crusis Women’s Choir, where she had been a member for seven years.

The second had much more serious implications. “I was now aware that I might be perceived as dangerous and threatening,” Sampson says. “I was going to present to the world as an African-American man.” But Sampson knew what he had to do. “I always felt a more masculine energy in my life,” he says. So he began taking testosterone. His voice became deeper and he started to grow facial hair. A few years later he underwent “top surgery”—a total mastectomy. He describes the process of transitioning as both exhilarating and sobering. “There was an inner smile and confidence in being able to present as a man, which matched what I had always wanted. It was sobering because I was not socialized as a man and now had the challenge of defining what it meant to be a man.” There was also another critical challenge facing Sampson, who identifies as bisexual: whether or not to have “bottom surgery.”

son was a self-described nerdy kid who excelled in debate. He says “homophobia came into play” early in his life. “Everyone on the basketball team was a lesbian. You did not want to have that label in high school.” Even though the label was appropriate, Sampson “didn’t want to deal with the high school angst,” and thus shied away from the sport. Sampson, who had come out of the closet the first week of college, attended the University of Chicago where he got involved in LGBT issues and joined an African-American sorority. He then earned a law degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Sampson moved to Philadelphia in 1992 to work as a public defender. After four years of feeling like he wasn’t making a difference, he left the job. After stints as an educator and a sales rep, the Norristown resident accepted a position as a financial advisor for Wells Fargo Advisors, where he’s worked for the last three years. Over time, he got involved in local LGBT causes, serving on the boards of the Attic Youth Center and Mazzoni Center, the city’s LGBT health center. At the Attic, he focuses on mentoring LGBT youth. “They all need my help, but I’m especially interested in trans youth because they are the most at risk.” According to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) and the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE), 59 percent of transgender youth report being

harassed and bullied in school, and 23 percent were victims of physical assault. “The Attic is the safe haven,” Sampson says. Health care for trans adults is also a major concern for Sampson. Trans people can be denied health care due to antitransgender bias. Some simply can’t afford treatment or don’t know the best ways to navigate the health-care system. Sampson also serves on the planning committee for the Philadelphia Trans Health Conference (PTHC), which addresses physical, mental and spiritual health needs of transgender people and how to develop grassroots organizations to support their community. “People are thirsty for knowledge about what they’re doing to their bodies,” Sampson says about PTHC. “Let’s face it. We are willing and voluntary guinea pigs. We have no information about the long-term effects of taking testosterone or estrogen.” Besides training health-care providers how to treat transgender patients, PTHC helps educate religious leaders about welcoming trans members to their congregations. “Just like many churches struggled to welcome gays and lesbians, many churches reject trans men and trans women,” Sampson explains. “Many trans people who were involved in their spiritual communities before they transitioned find they’re not welcomed as a trans person and lose their spiritual connection.” Another challenge within the trans community is the two distinct and polar opposite factions. There are those who prefer to “go stealth” or “pass” as their chosen gender, never acknowledging their past life. And there are those who are out and trans fighting for equal rights. “Being stealth isn’t going to lead to better health care or help end discrimination against trans people,” Sampson insists. Statistics from another survey by NGLTF and NCTE reveal a startling picture of transgender discrimination. Ninety-seven percent of trans people experience harassment or mistreatment on the job. Nineteen percent have experienced homelessness. Eleven percent have faced eviction and 26 percent were forced to seek temporary shelter. “Discrimination within the trans community is multilayered,” says Sampson, adding that he is thankful for the love and support of his family. “Unlike some of my trans sisters and brothers, my family has been very supportive.” But, he says, “people of color who are trans may experience a double dose of discrimination. I made my choice to live an authentic life and at times that’s not easy to do. We live in a society in which people make assumptions based on what they see.” Which is exactly why he stresses the importance of not being defined by sexual orientation. “Judge me by my work ethic. Judge me by what I do. Pay attention to people’s character because at the end of the day, that’s what matters.” n

On the Gaydar A preview of Philly’s upcoming LGBT events. By Brian Goldthorpe feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Lambda Legal Fundraiser

Spring has officially sprung in the City of Brotherly Love, kicking off what I call Pride Season. Most major U.S. cities have one gay pride celebration, but that simply isn’t enough in the birthplace of independence. Beginning with this week’s Equality Forum, Philadelphia has a series of pride events between spring and fall, including the LGBT Pride Parade and Festival (June 12) and Outfest (October). One of the most popular upcoming functions is Heroes 2011, a fundraiser for the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund (DVLF). DVLF is a grant-maker—it raises money and awards it to LGBT service organizations through a competitive, meritbased proposal process. This month, DVLF will paint the PNC Center with every color of the rainbow at Heroes and announce this year’s “LGBT heroes”—citizens who have led our community to new heights. Fri., May 6, 6pm. The PNC Center, 1600 Market St. dvlf.org

Also taking advantage of increased LGBT visibility at the outset of Pride Season is Philadelphia’s chapter of the Lambda Legal Defense & Education Fund. Across the spectrum of nonprofit organizations, few have made contributions as impactful in the daily lives of gay people as Lambda Legal. Its staff and volunteers fight to end discrimination in courtrooms, Capitol buildings and boardrooms throughout the country. Philly’s most influential LGBT movers and shakers—lawyers, politicians, civic leaders, media personalities—will be OUT to honor Lambda Legal and enjoy cocktails and a silent auction. There will also be a special viewing of the exhibit “Paris Through the Window: Marc Chagall and His Circle,” to highlight the celebration. Thurs., May 12, 6pm. Art Museum. lambdalegal.org

Dragapalooza: Broadway Divas

A little over 40 years ago, Philly’s Gayborhood relocated from Rittenhouse Square to Washington Square West. For four decades, several proprietors and community leaders have invested their capital and passion to support the area. While many strived to be successful, few have made an impact like Rick Piper, owner of 12th Street Gym. For 25 years, 12th Street Gym has consistently supported the neighborhood and city. It’s far more than a place to exercise; it’s a community gathering spot, a supporter of local nonprofit organizations and a company that welcomes diversity in all shapes and sizes. The gym is not an exclusively LGBT facility; 60 percent of its members are not gay. It’s simply a place where absolutely everyone is welcomed with open arms. Piper feels strongly that the health of a city’s residents is paramount to strengthening the city itself. That philosophy pervades every aspect of his business. “Over my desk is a sign I made several years ago: ‘Not one iota of entitlement.’ It reminds me and my team that we earn our stripes with every customer every day,” Piper says. In celebration of 12th Street Gym’s 25th anniversary, Piper will host an event to unveil a commemorative 25th anniversary portrait of the complex. The event marks the official kick-off a month-long celebration at 12th Street Gym, which includes several other gatherings and programs in June.

You must be joking: A bunch of comedy writers try not to get fired.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when actors get sick right before their performances, here’s a scenario: Due to a sudden illness, actor Chris Faith—performing in 1812 Production’ Laughter on the 23rd Floor—was a last-second no-show (with no understudy waiting in the wings). Not wanting to cancel the performance and disappoint a near sellout crowd, Assistant Director Noah Herman grabbed a script and a costume off the rack,

Laughter on the 23rd Floor Through May 7. $20-$35. Plays and Players Theater, 1714 Delancey St. 215.592.9560. 1812productions.org

quickly adopted his best Russian accent and bravely took the stage playing Val, a Russian immigrant and the lead writer on a fictional TV comedy variety series. Neil Simon’s Laughter is based on the time the writer spent on Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows, a popular comedy/variety show that dominated television airwaves in the 1950s. The show’s writing staff was filled with young, eager talent who would go on to find fame and fortune in theater, film and TV. In addition to Simon, Caesar’s writers included Mel Brooks, Larry Gelbart (who went on to create the TV series M*A*S*H and the Oscar-winning Tootsie) and Woody Allen, among others. Laughter is set entirely in the writer’s room—a frantic and stressful work environment—of the fictional Max Prince Show. Arguing seems to be the writers’ chief strategy for developing ideas, and the tension is palpable as they try to meet the demands of creating a weekly 90-minute show. Val tries vainly to keep everyone

on track, but it’s like trying to control an especially unruly group of second-graders. The boss, Max (the terrific Pete Pryor), only adds to the atmosphere of chaos. Stressed by the increasing demands placed on him by unseen network executives, Max has resorted to drinking, popping pills and punching holes in the office walls. Everyone seems to know that it’s just a matter of time before the show is canceled; a victim of the American public’s fickle tastes. Due no doubt to Faith’s absence, the first act of the performance was a little unsure of itself. Even with Herman reading the part of Val (which he did with admirable panache), the ensemble’s timing was excellent, but the production was still out of step, like an orchestra playing with an unidentified instrument slightly out of tune. Only Pryor seemed entirely unaffected. In fact, he was making the most of the occasion, at one point playfully grabbing the script from Herman to double-check a line. By the second act, however, the production (aided by an enthusiastic and supportive audience) had regrouped and was firing on all cylinders. Among the regulars in the cast, especially strong performances are turned in by Dave Jadico, who gives a silky smooth performance as the level-headed writer Kenny (based on Gelbart), and David Ingram, who is hilarious as the often belligerent hypochondriac Ira (who is instantly recognizable as Mel Brooks). Strong individual performances aside, Laughter is first and foremost an ensemble piece, a construction at which 1812 excels. Like the characters in Simon’s comedy, most of the actors in director Matt Pfeiffer’s cast know each other well and their familiarity suits the play nicely. In their hands, Laughter becomes more than a collection of one-liners. The jokes are funny, but the production’s best feature is that it depicts the writers as a family—albeit dysfunctional. We sense the mutual respect and admiration the writers and Max have for each other and without being overly sentimental. So don’t be surprised if you find yourself at a play wondering where the lead actor is. 1812 isn’t the only area company that doesn’t use understudies on a regular basis. In fact, typically only Philly’s largest companies (the Arden Theatre Company, Walnut Street Theatre and a select few others) regularly employ backups. The result is that most companies resort to prayer and knocking on wood that an actor won’t suddenly fall ill. As 1812’s Artistic Director Jennifer Childs says, it’s “all part of the joy and terror of live theater.” n

artists, some of whom deal with gender issues in their works (Triburgo), and others who don’t (Imboden). And speaking of Imboden, the artist and longtime teacher at Maryland Institute College has been photographing nude models in the studio for 25 years. Imboden, who follows in the tradition of nude photography that dates back to the camera’s invention, shoots digitally with studio setups that include color gels, strobe lights, mirrors and water. She achieves multi-hued effects, which are both beautiful and slightly scary. In her archival digital prints, figures are set against velvety black backgrounds that suggest the depths of Hades. The figures twist and turn like elves and fauns and move, half in water, half out, or duplicated in part by an unseen mirror. Like characters from a Caravaggio painting, the figures seem to pop out of the inky background and threaten to invade your space. In these poetic works, beauty is fragile and fleeting; life and death are very close partners. Framed well and printed beautifully, these two shows span the range of what’s being done in contemporary photography. You may respond to one body of work more strongly than the other, but both shows are full of heart. n

One is an alchemist and the other a documentarian, and while the photographs of Connie Imboden and Lorenzo Triburgo couldn’t be more different, what’s common to both Equality Forum artists is their focus on the human condition and their desire to capture truth and beauty. Like all contemporary portrait photographers, Triburgo, the documentarian, owes much to Cindy Sherman, whose faux-realist costumedrama self-portraits took the genre into a realm it hadn’t been before. Her photographs have always served to reveal a larger truth behind the image. Like Sherman’s works, Triburgo’s “Transportraits” have an element of tall-tale telling—Paul Bunyan-style. There is truth here but it’s steeped in irony: Each portrait captures a likeness, but taken as a whole, the pictures are actually quite fantastical. And what’s refreshing about “Transportraits” is that it focuses on heroism, not pain. Triburgo’s 14 archival digital prints at Gallery 1401 in Center City present a group of transgender men, each of whom pose in front of a painted, nature-centric background. The men are captured from the waist up, dressed casually, each in a mock-heroic stance—eyes trained upward and focused on a point in the far distance. No one looks at the camera; no one smiles; and there is no attempt to deliver each person as an individual beyond the surface of hair, piercings, tattoos, ear plugs and clothes. They are one man, every man, every transgender man. It’s the kitschy backgrounds—the purple mountains majesty, bursting sunsets, glorious deep forests and waterfalls, the pumped-up nature you find in cheesy greeting cards and wallpaper backgrounds for your K-Mart or Sears portrait studio pictures—that really clinch this show. Triburgo successfully pokes fun at the American Dream by combining these transgender heroes with images of nature at its most sublime. Even the titles of the works serve as punchlines in this wry, Steven Colbert-like opus: “Tranquil Dawn (Burton),” “Sunset Aglow (Glenn),” and “Valley Waterfall (Erin).” Triburgo’s point about the truth beneath the picture is as clear as can be. The American Dream is valid for these men even if it doesn’t comply with the red-state vision of heroism. Harris Fogel, curator of Equality Forum exhibits at University of the Arts for the last nine years, says that Triburgo—himself a transgender man—has a sense of humor about the works. “The works are kitschy, wonderful and vibrant … and the students love it,” Fogel says. He adds that the goal of Equality Forum shows is to showcase the best LGBT

Out and Proud que(e)ry examines feelings of sexuality among today’s youth.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY April 27 - May 3, 2011 • 34

Written collectively by Temple University students and edited by Director Peter Reynolds, the 90-minute que(e)ry is a series of vignettes exploring sexual identity among college-age adults. The production had its world premiere in March at Temple’s Randall Theater, where it played to wildly enthusiastic audiences and sold out three of its five performances. Reynolds, who heads the university’s music theater department, and fellow Temple professor Scott Gratson wanted to create an original piece that reflected the views young adults have on gender identity and sexual orientation. The result is a show that draws on the experiences of a diverse range of gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, transsexual and heterosexual Temple University students. “I really wanted to know where college-age students stood on the topic of queerness” says Reynolds, who adds that 95 percent of que(e)ry was written collectively by the student cast in an ensemble-based process. Reflecting the diversity of the 21-member cast, the vignettes (nearly all of which draw on real-life experiences) are at times poignant, provocative, tragic, humorous and everything in between. Although the majority of the vignettes are textbased, Reynolds says the production also features movement pieces with choreography by Brandon McShaffrey, and “a lot” of video by Drexel University students Janelle Kauffman and Mike Long, who worked on Mauckingbird Theatre Company’s gender-bending adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Reynolds says that what he discovered working with the students was that “although the amount of intolerance and abuse queer youths suffer hasn’t changed much” in the last 20 to 30 years, “what is different with this generation of queer youth is that they feel they are entitled to their freedom. They will not be told that they can’t love who they want to love. This is a generation that is out, that is proud, and that expects equal rights. I believe it will go a long way to bring about inclusion.” Reynolds is no stranger to putting the GLBTQ experience onstage. In the last couple years, perhaps no individual has been more responsible for elevating gay theater in Philadelphia than Reynolds, who since 2008 has served as artistic director for Mauckingbird Theatre Company. In just three years has, Mauckingbird—founded by Reynolds and Managing Director Lindsay Mauck—has become one of the city’s most acclaimed companies. To date, Mauckingbird has mounted seven productions— three of their shows (The Misanthrope, R&J and last January’s [title of show] ) were sensational. Howeve,r while Mauckingbird’s productions

enjoy widespread critical acclaim and play to sold-out audiences of gay and straight theatergoers alike, Reynolds says that finding financing is an ever-increasing struggle. “We can’t go for some funds because we don’t have a paid staff and other potential funding isn’t available because we don’t receive $25,000 contributed income,” he says. “We received some general operating support from Philadelphia Foundation and the Charlotte Cushman Foundation but mainly we’ve been really doing it on our own and paying for these shows with box office.” And few—if any—theaters can survive on box-office sales alone without charging exorbitant ticket prices. As long as audiences continue to come out in force, Reynolds says he and his colleagues plan to soldier on. “We’ve been thrilled with the audience response and the diversity of the audience and we’re not going to go away,” he says says. “We’re just really wondering how the heck to get some money in.” The show was funded with a $36,500 grant from Temple University’s Office of the Provost. The purpose of the grant is to provide financial assistance for projects that are conceived and developed at the university and are intended to have a life beyond Temple’s campus. n

Rainbow Blight Bullied tells the story of a student who and won.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY April 27 - May 3, 2011 • 38

See if this sounds familiar: From junior high through high school, Wisconsin native Jamie Nabozny is relentlessly taunted and beaten because it’s perceived, correctly, that he’s gay. Despite numerous pleas from his parents and a sympathetic teacher, administrators refuse to intervene, falling back on a familiar line: boys will be boys and, hey, if he doesn’t want to incur their wrath, he’s better off not acting “so gay.” One of his attacks puts him in the hospital for five days. Nabozny tries to overdose on pills, but is unsuccessful. He runs away from home twice. He agrees to come home, but refuses to return to school grounds. It’s a common tale. This one happened 15 years ago. The same thing could, and does, happen today. In 1995 at age 19, Nabozny built up the courage to sue his school district and its administrators for their neglect and disinterest in his safety. And he won, settling for close to $1 million, marking the first time in the nation’s history that a school was legally held responsible for a student subjected to anti-gay abuse. Administrators suddenly had a practical reason to care: Let bullies taunt gay kids, and you’ll be short quite a lot of money. Nabozny’s landmark case is retold in Bullied, a short doc screening April 28 as part of this year’s Equality Forum. While the grown-up Nabozny, his mother and lawyers relate the story, younger actors re-enact the major events: his assault in a science class while fellow students looked on; an altercation in a bathroom where he was urinated upon; and the beating that ended with a death threat and a hospital stay. Throughout, the real Nabozny speaks to a utopian gymnasium of quiet, respectful and diverse students. Intended more for school use than as a straight-forward documentary—with aesthetics to match—Bullied debuted in Los Angeles in late August 2010. It proved eerily prophetic. Within the span of three weeks in September, there emerged a plague of

Jamie Nabonzy suicides by bullied gay students. These include Billy Lucas, 15, of Greensburg, Ind., and Seth Walsh, 13, of California, who hanged themselves. Houston resident Asher Brown, also 13, shot himself in the head. And Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi jumped off the George Washington Bridge after his roommate used a webcam to stream a sexual encounter he had with another male student. An explanation for this wave of suicides remains elusive, as does a solution. The most prominent response came from gay sex columnist Dan Savage, who founded the It Gets Better Project on Sept. 21, the day before Clementi threw himself into the Hudson River. The project is notable for being hands-off, aimed not at the bullies but their prey, offering moral support from well-known celebrities and authority figures. It asks the abused to do no more than tough it out. But what more can one do? Making gay bashing a mainstream concern—and It Gets Better instantly became a cultural meme, surfacing even recently as a throwaway joke on 30 Rock—should be helpful, particularly to those in backwater towns. (This subject hasn’t been so prevalent since the murder of Matthew Shepard in 1998.) At a narrow 38 minutes, Bullied is a mere conversation starter. It’s more interesting to read the “viewer’s guide” that accompanies its DVD. The guidelines instruct students to “refrain from labeling individuals as ‘gay’ or as bullies.” The cure, it suggests, isn’t eliminating bullies but treating them with respect—letting them get involved in the discussion rather than enforcing a palliative punishment. (The parents of Tyler Clementi recently asked prosecutors to go light on his roommate, Dharun Ravi.) Cautiously optimistic, Bullied knows that a future where people know not to be cruel is far off, but perhaps not by that much. n Screening: Fri., April 29, 7:30pm. $5.

Last summer, a federal judge ruled that Philadelphia could not evict the Cradle of Liberty Council of the Boy Scouts of America from their Logan Square headquarters— a building they’ve occupied for nearly a century—despite long-standing BSA policies against homosexuals that the city argued violated Philadelphia’s anti-discrimination laws. In November, both sides agreed to a settlement to end the seven-year battle: The city would sell the building to the Scouts for $500,000 (far less than its estimated worth), and the Scouts would forgive the city nearly $1 million in legal fees. But Philly’s LGBT community, infuriated by a deal they say rewards the Scouts for their anti-gay position, is fighting the proposed settlement, which is still pending City Council approval. PW spoke with Harriet Lessy, a local public-relations executive and gay-rights activist who’s facilitating the Equality Forum panel “The Boy Scouts: Publicly Subsidized Discrimination.”

What’s the message you hope to get across with this panel discussion?

It’s about creating awareness of the situation. People need to understand that what the city is doing by selling the building to [the Boy Scouts] is subsidizing discrimination. They’re allowing the Boy Scouts to buy a building that is public property that we, the taxpayers, own, and they’re selling it under market value. The point of the panel really is—whether it’s the situation with the Boy Scouts or anything else—should we be enforcing discrimination as taxpayers? Not everyone understands the fight. It’s an unpopular decision and it’s an unfair decision. We see discrimination every day and we can’t allow it.

Is it true that the city may have grounds for an appeal based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision [in another case] regarding subsidized discrimination that came down after this verdict, but instead they’ve chosen to settle?

That’s right. The city could appeal, that’s what they should be doing. [But] sometimes people dig a hole in the sand and just don’t want to rethink something. It’s easier. And in all honesty, nobody wants to fight the Boy Scouts. Let’s point out that it’s vote time. We’re coming up for elections, Nutter has not been particularly popular.

So you believe Nutter’s courting voters who support the Boy Scouts’ position instead of reaching out to LGBT voters? It sure looks that way.

Why?

The person you should be asking that question isn’t me, it’s Michael Nutter. I mean, the whole thing is just outrageous in today’s world. And for us as a city, which has an antidiscrimination bill on its books, to allow this to happen is just bizarre.

What would you like to see happen with the building?

It’s public property, so it should go for sale to the highest bidder. Not to an organization that’s paying a very under-the-market price for a very valuable piece of real estate that is then going to be allowed to discriminate. I can assure you we’re going to talk about all options and opportunities [during the panel]. The city could put it up for public bid. Turn it over to a nonprofit organization. Probably the easiest thing that could happen in this is that the Boy Scouts change their discrimination policy and put an end to all of this. We’re taking a stand against anyone who discriminates. The Boy Scouts happen to believe, for whatever reason, that discrimination is appropriate. Everything would change and everything would be different if the Boy Scouts would change their national policy against discrimination. If someone from the Boy Scouts would stand up at this forum and say that’s going to happen, it would be a very short forum. We’d spend the whole time clapping.

Mayor Nutter has been invited to participate in the panel, correct?

Yes, he has. I haven’t heard if he’s going to come or not. I’d like him to explain his position. I understand that he cannot change the Boy Scouts’ policy, but he certainly can change how Philadelphia deals with this situation. n Panel: Sat., April 30, 3:30pm. Free.

By Aaron Kase akase@philadelphiaweekly.com Zahara Raine is the national community educator for the New York-based civic-rights organization Lambda Legal. For more than 10 years, she has run education campaigns for LGBT rights. Raine will be leading two workshops at Equality Forum, one on school bullying and one on grassroots organizing.

Tell us about the bullying workshop.

We’re gonna take a look at some of the statistics about youth in schools and issues around bullying and general well-being of LGBT youth. We will also be looking at different laws in existence to protect youth in schools— discrimination, bullying, privacy protection.

What are some of the existing laws?

First Amendment of free speech and expression: Students have a right to voice support for LGBT rights. The 14th Amendment—equal-rights amendment. Students have a right to be protected. Schools have to make sure students are safe. They are prohibited from taking bullying less seriously because LGBT students are involved. Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. LGBT students must receive the same protections that Title IX affords to all students.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY April 27 - May 3, 2011

Are there places the laws are ignored?

All the time. That’s why we have to do this work. We’re always using these laws as arguments when Lambda Legal is fighting a case. There are always loopholes and that’s why it’s always important to make amendments to laws that include specific protections for specific categories for people. Even just [listing] sexual orientation is not enough. Gender expression and gender identity are critical as well.

What about laws at the state level?

Thirteen states and D.C. have laws that address discrimination for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. Three have laws based on sexual orientation. Twenty-eight states have laws that include bullying but include no categories of protection. Pennsylvania prohibits bullying in schools but lists no category of protections.

POINT. CLICK. PHILLY!

philadelphiaweekly.com

What can one individual do to help?

Definitely just educating. Knowing what students’ rights are and advocating for them in different scenarios. We really try to give the information and have people themselves come up with what they think they can do in their capacity,

if they’re administrators, teachers, parents.

Was last year’s “It Gets Better” campaign helpful for raising awareness?

I think that there were a lot of benefits to it but in a lot of ways, there were people who were critical of it. I think that when you have a big media person addressing any LGBT issue, it can be helpful but there also has to be a next step of education. It’s important to send a positive message but important to acknowledge that it’s a struggle. It can be trendy to support gay rights without an understanding of the nuanced issues.

What’s your second workshop about?

It’s called “In the Spotlight,” about LGBT legal advocacy and grassroots organization. It looks at how LGBT legal advocates can work with grassroots organizers on some of these issues that we’re talking about.

So you’re addressing the issues from both ends, top down and bottom up?

It’s essentially what I do. We work at Lambda Legal on high-impact legislation, but a whole other set of staff folks do media and editorial and education. I go out and do workshops and translate legalese and legal speak and what’s happening in the courts and legal system. Attorneys are trying to change the minds of lawmakers, we’re trying to change the minds of the public.

Do you ever feel like you’re preaching to the choir at these workshops? It’s not always true. I go to workshops of all kinds. I’ve gone to a lot of health-care-related conferences where there’s no LGBT representation whatsoever. People in the community need to know what their rights are, legal rights, civil rights, what they can do.

Even been to Philly before?

Yeah, I was at Equality Forum last year, and did a workshop on health care and discrimination. There’s a lot of pride in Philly. We do a lot of stuff in Philly whenever we can. n School's OUT: Making Schools Safe for LGBT Youth: Sat., April 30, 2pm. LGBT Advocacy and Grassroots Organization: Sat., April 30, 2pm. Free.

Sakaguchi, a Nagano Prefecture native who came to the U.S. for art school, has been in Philadelphia since 1990. A communityspirited and hard-working artist who teaches at PAFA, he has curated several group exhibits of local artists at Seraphin Gallery, where he is represented. As one who acutely feels at a distance from both his adopted and home countries, Sakaguchi’s message is that we’re all solitary voyagers in life. Bad stuff happens but don’t forget that beauty, happiness and funny things happen, too. His philosophy is heard loud and clear in his works. Sakaguchi’s pastel-colored drawings and

IT’S STRAIGHT UP AWESOME!

Bad things do not happen in Hiro Sakaguchi’s world, but the threat of bad things is everywhere. Which is why it’s hard to see the Japanese-born artist’s depictions of violent nature and vulnerable humanity without thinking of the recent cataclysmic events in Japan. But the Philly artist’s works, now in the Morris Gallery at Pennsylvania Academy, are not meant to serve as direct social commentary. Rather, Sakaguchi’s drawings, paintings and sculptures are the musings of an outsider who sees the world, imperfections and all, yet accepts and loves it to death.

paintings, with their crisp illustrational lines and improbable action heroes (a hiker strides a log attached to the wings of two, side-by-side, in-flight airplanes) evoke a cartoon world where everything is larger than life. While there is no clear story arc to the ensemble of works, a loose narrative is suggested— something dreamy, lonely and, ultimately, contented. No bloodshed though. Sure, there are spewing volcanoes, a swirling hurricane and, most memorable, a giant marauding brown bear. These are archetypal depictions of what happens before storm or battle. Like Dorothy’s besieged farm house in Kansas, Sakaguchi’s house, in the oil painting, “Eye of the Hurricane,” stands alone, sitting calmly before it is swept up. His candy-colored hurricane is like a polkadot-clad clown threatening with a water balloon. The artist’s point of view about these suggested earth-shaking events is one of wry resignation, which makes the works emotionally neutral. Sakaguchi’s sweet, whimsical take on things exemplifies the world of male artists whose work plays with the gentler side of childhood—toys, cars, airplanes and monsters. (Other locals who live in this genre include Space 1026ers Thom Lessner, Ben Woodward, Andrew Jeffrey Wright and Adam Wallacavage, to mention a few). Japanese superstar artists Takashi Murakami and Yoshitomo Nara also tread whimsically on childhood icons, usually adding humor—and a bad-boy wink and a nod. And like those artists, Sakaguchi self-censors the bad right out of the picture, not from some fear or loathing but because of his life-affirming philosophy. With their soft colors and beautiful drawing style, Sakaguchi’s 2-D works are lovable. For the collaborative print piece, “My House is Your House,” the artist gave a woodblock print of a house and a cutaway of an ant colony under it to six artist friends and asked them to “make it their own by working over it,” according to the wall card. The resulting six-print piece welcomes you into the exhibit with its message of friendship. n

Six Pack Six Comic Directors Who Turned Serious

Double Double Your Enjoyment

The Double Hour successfully pulls off clever and smart. By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com Woody Allen: “We enjoy your films, especially the early, funny ones,” a group of helium-voiced aliens tell Allen’s consciencestricken comedy director in Stardust Memories (1980) who, like the real-life Allen, had just shocked audiences by making an arty drama. Indeed, try convincing audiences of 1965 that the neurotic shrimp quipping on TV could ever be capable of making Interiors, Crimes and Misdemeanors and Match Point. (Or, for that matter, Curse of the Jade Scorpion and Hollywood Ending.)

Leo McCarey: Like Frank Capra, McCarey was a comedy director whose work grew increasingly serious. But Capra was never as grave as McCarey. A staunch Republican Catholic, by 1950 he had built up enough credibility to make My Son John, a fiery antiCommunist propaganda that at its worst (i.e., a Glenn Beckish last half hour) is almost funnier than his work with the Marx Brothers or Laurel and Hardy.

Richard Lester: Working in television in Philadelphia taught this expat how to work fast. By the time he met the Beatles, he was their ideal conspirator. Whipsmart, experimental editing is Lester’s contribution to comedy, a quality he kept when he ventured into the more serious territory of 1968’s Petulia. It’s a drama made like one of his comedies, a quality he’d later bring to the thriller Juggernaut and the autumnal romance Robin and Marian.

Billy Wilder: It wasn’t surprising when, after a fruitful run writing latently sour entertainments like Ninotchka and Midnight, this European emigré debuted as director with The Major and the Minor, a comedy with a creepy pedophilic subtext. It was surprising, however, when he followed it up with a crackerjack WWII thriller (Five Graves to Cairo), then a crackerjack noir (Double Indemnity). That’s how Wilder rolled for the rest of his career, jumping between genres and uniting them with his enjoyably cynical sensibility.

ness to her performance, weary from things that were perhaps better not seen. Rappoport is the kind of actress who knows she doesn’t have to give you much, because if she doesn’t you’ll keep looking closer. Fillipo Timi (who recently played two generations of Mussolini’s in Marco Bellocchio’s Vincere) co-stars as Guido. Carrying himself like a thinner, more beat-down Alfred Molina, he’s an excop on the skids, reduced to working as a security guard at an absurdly over-

decorated mansion. Information in The Double Hour is parceled out slowly, in almost maddening, elliptical intervals. We surmise that Guido’s trying awfully hard not to drink these days, charming countless ladies at depressing singles outings, killing his evenings with bouts of cold, anonymous sex. But on their three-minute, hastily arranged “speed date,” something mysterious clicks between Guido and Sonia. She’s not like the others, and

•

Jerry Zucker: One of the three geniuses behind Airplane made Ghost and First Knight. But how?

There’s an entire post-Usual Suspects/ Memento genre of card-trick movies that wears me down past my last nerve. At their worst, it feels like certain filmmakers are so busy arranging the furniture to rip the rug out from under the audience, they seem to forget all about the basic satisfactions of a well-told story and compelling characters. You’ll often leave the theatre feeling cheated, your emotional investment betrayed by movie-negating twists that reveal the past two hours to have been a con and a lie, more clever than smart. (In many circles this disease has been dubbed “Shyamalan-ism.”) So what a surprise and delight then is first-timer Giuseppe Capotondi’s The Double Hour. At least structurally, I guess some will scoff that it’s just a gimmick. But this particular gimmick exhibits such a rich, melancholy soul, boasting a sympathetic depth of characterization that’s almost unheard of for this kind of picture. Most importantly, no matter how much you might feel jerked around while it’s chugging along, the movie eventually plays fair in the end. Capotondi is clever at every turn—but we care about these people, and he refuses to betray our trust. That’s not just clever, it’s smart. Lanky, sad-eyed Ksenia Rappoport stars as Sonia, a put-upon chambermaid at a fancy hotel, who recently wound up in Turin under unexplained circumstances. There’s a watchful still-

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY April 27 - May 3, 2011

Tom Shadyac: Of course, a shameless director known for shameless comedies (Ace Ventura) would make shameless tear jerkers (Patch Adams). And, of course, after suffering a serious accident, this shameless director would make a shameless doc on the world’s multitude ills.

Behind the scenes: Sonia (Kseniya Rappoport) is not quite ready to reveal herself to Guido.

Capotondi handles their tentative interactions gorgeously. Here are two kindred, broken spirits not quite ready to reveal themselves just yet. But we can see that they’re getting closer. The body language between Rappoport and Timi is a marvel to behold—as the film wears on, you can feel their boundaries slipping away. The Double Hour takes its title from an old Italian suspicion of Guido’s— when it’s 11:11 you have to make a wish. He’s also wise enough to know that such wishes don’t come true, and roughly a third of the way into this movie a shocking act of violence sends it spinning in not one, but two different directions. I must tread lightly here, especially because part of what thrilled me was the all too rare sensation of never knowing where the picture was headed next. Suffice it to say, Capotondi isn’t afraid to take a hard left turn into supernatural ghost-story territory, brilliantly helming a few giallo-styled sequences, using only a long lens and the faded echoes of a Cure song to make a bathtub feel like the most frightening place in the world. Familiar lines of dialogue are repeated by disparate characters with a dream-like, nagging familiarity, and the movie itself seems to hover between this life and the next, employing increasingly surreal flourishes to a slightly wearying extent. But like the pulp cousin to Certified Copy, The Double Hour also exists in two places at once, making sure to stay grounded in emotional truth. The bifurcated back-half fills in both of our main characters the way a straightforward telling of this story never quite could. When all is said and done, Capotondi has discovered a rather ingenious way to illustrate the inner life of an extremely elusive character. That said, he’s still a bit of a show-off. One set-piece filmed from the POV of a drugged young woman being buried alive perhaps didn’t need as much attention in the sound design to every last gasping breath as the shovelfuls of dirt hit the lens. But he is wise enough to scale back in the final reels. Overt references to Brian DePalma’s great Blow Out abound, yet Capotondi eschews his boyish virtuosity for the climax, which is just a simple conversation, during which everything important is left unsaid. In that glorious moment, it feels like Edith Wharton wrote a film noir. n

One day, Tom Shadyac—purveyor of such atrocious blockbuster comedies as Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty and Patch Adams—fell off his bicycle and decided to change the world. Afflicted with post-concussion syndrome, the filmmaker claims to have contemplated suicide before the symptoms eventually abated. Now healed and suffused with a goofy, messianic zeal, the multimillionaire renounced his garish Pasedena mansion, private jets and horrible sequels, moved into a mobile home community and set out with a camera crew to ask: “What is wrong with the world and how can we fix it?” Apparently, good vibes are the solution. Good vibes, and a lot of random stock footage. Trolling over a massive canvas with a multitude of talking heads, Shadyac sits down with everybody from Noam Chomsky to crackpot New Age quantum physicists, attempting to solve the entirety of our civilization’s problems—using only sound-bytes, exploitative disaster clips and slow-motion nature photography. Shadyac has a hippy-dippy sincerity that’s almost (but not quite) endearing. He seems blissfully unaware that his exact spiritual quest was already satirized by Preston Sturges in Sullivan’s Travels. He also can’t seem to stay focused on a single topic for more than two or three minutes at a time. Potentially intriguing subjects such as empathy being a Darwinian survival instinct are given short shrift, before leapfrogging into some spectacularly silly pseudo-science. My favorite is a demonstration of electro-magnetic fields, in which a petri dish full of yogurt is purportedly able to read the director’s mind, growing alarmed by the mere thought of his attorney. (Or at least as alarmed as yogurt can get. If this were one of Shadyac’s hacky comedies, I bet Jim Carrey would make a crack about his lunch not agreeing with him.) I suppose the sheer, weird earnestness of the project is begrudgingly admirable, but I Am’s only real revelation is that a terrible filmmaker is a terrible filmmaker, regardless of ambition or subject matter. Personally, I was hoping for a twist ending—in which Shadyac bumps his head again, goes back to normal and makes Ace Ventura 3. n

Premiering in the country for which it was partially intended nearly 65 years after its completion, the 1948 documentary Nuremberg: Its Lesson For Today was intended to celebrate American might. Instead this film, commissioned by the U.S. government, skipped postwar America, for reasons that only become obvious in the final stretch. The eleven months of the Nuremberg Trial—only 25 hours of which were allowed to be filmed—are boiled down to 80 minutes, although the footage still often plays like protoC-SPAN. Students were supposed to marvel at the four-country tribunal that classified the surviving Nazis as war criminals, and proved Jewish extermination; patriotic adults were intended to chuckle as Göring, Hess, Speer and more humiliated themselves with weak defenses, then made fun of during Robert H. Jackson’s alternately stirring and quippy closing speech. Alas, one of the tribunals was Soviet, and the narration ultimately extols about how the U.S. and Soviet Russia together “blocked the Nazi drive for world supremacy.” By 1948, the Soviets had usurped the Germans as enemy number one and, not wanting to upset the populace with a film where the current baddies were goodies, the film never opened stateside. After much restoration, including the location of a new print and the re-piecing together of the soundtrack, Nuremberg is touring the country in an approximation of what it once was. (Well, mostly: Liev Schreiber, sounding like a robotic school teacher, stands in as narrator and occasional dubber.) Writer Stuart Schulberg, younger brother of novelist/screenwriter Budd, worked on films for the Marshall Plan, while director Pare Lorentz made the seminal New Deal docs The Plow That Broke the Plains and The River. Together they crafted a calm account that lacks the hyperbole of propaganda from either side of the war. When it’s not just-the-facts-ma’am, it’s grim, realist, cautiously optimistic: The opening minutes dwell on the rubble of Europe, stressing the hard road ahead. The work of war hardly ends when war ends. The finale quotes Jackson, warning that “those who start a war will pay for it personally.” And with that, we have the titular “lesson for today.”

Pennsylvania, as James Carville once memorably described it, is “Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with Alabama in the middle.” Located some 90 miles west of our city, Lebanon decidedly registers as the faux-Deep South—a funhouse mirror of metropolitan life in which urban cramp is replaced by sprawling greens, drinkers drive to—and from—bars and everyone, it’s assumed, goes to church and voted for McCain. It’s to these backwater digs that Philly ad man Will (Cougar Town’s Josh Hopkins) retreats after word that his father, who relocated there some years prior, has died. Despite the earnest tone and soothing Matt Pond PA score, Ben Hickernell’s indie drama Lebanon, Pa. takes an anthropological interest in the clusterfuck that ever so gradually forms. Hot off a break-up and approaching a midlife crisis that could potentially mirror his pop’s, Will finds comfort in the modest open-air leisure of central Pennsylvania. But his presence unwittingly sabotages two sheltered lives. First, he can’t help but mack on antsy but married school teacher Vicki (a shockingly credible Samantha Mathis). Second, his fancy city ways embolden teen cousin CJ (Rachel Kitson), who winds up saddled with an unwanted pregnancy. The A-word is definitely not in her redneck father’s vocabulary. The calamity that results eats up the third act, which would make it excellent fodder for either side of the abortion debate if Hickernell’s film didn’t make a rather heroic go at avoiding polemic. Without simplifying or chickening out, Lebanon, Pa. reveals an interest not so much in the politics of abortion but in how it affects people. While Hopkins, never much more than charmingly glib, recedes into the background, Kitson takes over the narrative reins. A newbie, her performance is touchingly awkward and, therefore, genuine. Her wide open face projects innocence gradually sullied from forces beyond her prediction, her glaring eyes slowly succumb to sadness and disappointment. It’s strange to see an Amerindie so retro, but also one that, with great calm, limns our culture clash without pandering to either side.

First Quarter Report The best albums so far this year in no particular order. By Brian McManus

Young Widows In and Out of Youth and Lightness (Temporary Residence)

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY April 27 - May 3, 2011

When Louisville, Ky., noise-rock threepiece Young Widows formed from the ashes of Breather Resist in 2006, it seemed as though they were on a mission. Indie rock, by and large, had morphed from the churning, swelling, stinking noisy beast it was in 1990s into a very prim, always proper pop that no longer sought to be an alternative to whatever mainstream radio was playing, and instead wanted to join it. Young Widows were interested in exactly none of that, and their debut, Settle Down City (2006), was all bombast and cigarette smoke, weight lifting and beer chugging. This was the music you imagine Henry Rollins hears in his head when he’s busting squat thrusts in his home gym after taking his third Myoplex protein supplement of the day intravenously. Pure fury. Brooding Rock. Young Widows were re-igniting the long snuffed-out torch of bands like Jesus Lizard, Lubricated Goat, Scratch Acid and Big Black mixed with a twinge of Federation X’s guitar-tone. Call it nu-pigfuck, if you will. Just don’t call it soft. They switched labels in 2008, from Jade Tree to Temporary Residence, but continued the trend on Old Wounds, where their only desire seemed to be to blow your goddamn speakers out. Now, on In and Out of Youth and Lightness, the trio has cooled a bit. Surprisingly, that’s not a bad thing. The album was produced by the band with assistance from Kevin Ratterman (My Morning Jacket), and it’s more atmospheric and bluesy than its two pedal-to-the-metal predecessors. They’ve stopped living in the red on every track, and instead explore many different moods, most of them dark and filled with tension. It’s as great as it is surprising. These three have already boxed your ears. On In and Out, they give you something to think about while they ring.

insane. He can’t rap very well. Or at all, actually. No one will mistake him for Biggie. His style is a blatant rip off of Young Jeezy. He sounds like he might have a mild case of Down Syndrome. The production on this album sounds canned, like some teenager with Timbaland dreams got his first sampler and synth and gave his best go at making placid Dirty South beats. Most everything about this album is atrocious. But damn it if, after listening to it just once, it won’t stay in your head all day. And so you’ll listen to it again. Then again. Soon, you’ll know the album front to back, rapping along with Gucci as he shits on cowards, blows kush smoke on his haters and tells the lady friend in his life he “still don’t love her.” (Though he appreciates the way she sucks and fucks him.) The key to all this, of course, is Gucci’s unparalleled knack for easy, slow repetition. You say “THIS IS WHAT I DO” enough times, slowly and clearly in a song, and it’s going to drill its way into the listener’s brain like an earwig. Throw in some unquestionably R Kelly-sized absurd lyrics, and you can file this thing under Comedy. The worst best album of the last four months.

And here it is. This is an alt-weekly newspaper in the city of Philadelphia. Did you not think this album would be here? Still, typical though it may be to list it, it deserves it. Vile gets better and better with each record, exposing an otherworldly Hessian-folk depth that’s atmospheric and, at times, down right somber. Smoke Ring for My Halo is the perfect music for your early morning comedown, the soundtrack to the last hour of that long, beautiful drug-fueled night, just as the sun comes up and you realize it’s time to call it quits. If you told me I could only listen to opening track “Baby’s Arms” for the rest of my life, I’d fine with it.

Yellow Humphrey Featherweights (Self Released) The album is out this week, but the band— made up of Philly locals Gretchen Lobse, Rick Flom, Steve Quaranta and Alec Meltzer and more—made the whole thing available for download on its Bandcamp page a couple weeks back, where you could cop it Radiohead “Pay what you see fit” style. So I paid $1,000 (SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC!) and, in the interest of getting my money’s worth, gave the thing about six million spins. It’s light and sexy and fun, and the album’s first single “Low Roses” is an early contender for track of the year. It has a bit of an East Hundred thing going

on, but I may just be saying that because both bands have female vocalists, and I’m a Gucci Mane like that. The album was mixed by Nick Krill of Spinto Band, and now is as good a time as any to tell you that Krill himself will be opening for Yellow Humphrey at their Featherweights release show at Johnny Brenda’s this Friday, April 29. The show starts at 8:30 p.m., and will cost you $10. Eliza Hardy of Buried Beds and Mike Quinn of And the Moneynotes are also on the bill.

The War on Drugs Future Weather (Secretly Canadian) Yes, yes. You’re right. This album did come out late last year. But here’s a completely thrilling story about me: Future Weather was sent to me on vinyl. My record player is in a back room of my house that gets no sunlight. It stays cold all winter, and as such, I rarely go in it over the frigid months. As it has warmed up, I’ve made my way back there and looked at the many records I’d yet to even open. I popped on Future Weather and fell instantly in love. War on Drugs’ main dude Adam Granduciel is in Kurt Vile’s Violators, and Vile used to be in the War on Drugs. There’s a bit of a melding of ideas and sounds going on between the two groups, and both Future Weather and Vile’s Smoke Ring are better for it. If you told me I could only listen to kinda-opening track “Baby Missles” for the rest of my life, I’d be fine with it. And then if you told me I was already only listening to Kurt Vile’s “Baby’s Arms,” per an earlier agreement, I’d ask you why you were hounding me so gotdamn much.

Bass Drum of Death GB City (Fat Possum) “In no particular order” ... Well, that’s a lie. (I do that sometimes.) Because GB City is definitely top of the heap in albums released in the First Quarter. Ironically, it’s a great summer album, all hot and sweaty. Bass Drum of Death is a garage rock duo from Oxford, Miss, comprised of howler/guitarist John Barrett and thunder drummer Colin Sneed, and the GB City is a fuzzed out, fast and furious chase on a highway only stocked with muscle cars. It’s an aural ’69 Camaro, powerful and sleek. Barrett was, at one time, Fat Possum’s worst employee. (Could that be why I feel an affinity for this album? Discuss.) He wrote and recorded the GB City himself using just a drumset, a guitar, a USB microphone and a computer. The songs, he says, “are about drugs, trying to make it with religious girls, panic attacks, stealing stuff, mild to severe depression, Elvis appearing in your dreams and giving you advice, gravity bongs and the devil living inside your brain.” Sounds about right. n

Oh, Mande

On the Record

Joe Mande, one of Heeb magazine’s “100 Jews to Watch,” performs at Connie’s Ric Rac this week. Mazel! By Brian McManus

bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com

Joe Mande When Philly last saw Joe Mande about a month and a half ago, he was putting a fur coat on Michael Ian Black at the Trocadero theater and escorting him off stage. Mande was the opener/emcee at the taping of Black’s Comedy Central special Very Famous, a mostly thankless task he pulled off with ease like a seasoned vet. Of course, Mande’s been around. He created the website/ book Look At This Fucking Hipster, was a regular on the only VH1 show worth watching, Best Week Ever, and was named Best New Comedian of ’09 by Time Out New York. He also made Heeb magazine’s “100 Jews to Watch” list,

which, he jokes, is “pretty much the second best list a Jew could ever hope to be on.” Now, Mande is headed to lovable South Philly dive Connie’s Ric Rac, which is slowly but surely becoming a burgeoning venue for comedy. Mande is one of a number of comedians who have graced the Ric Rac stage this year. Dave Hill, Hannibal Burress and, just last week, Matt McCarthy—you’d recognize him as the large ginger who plays the Xfinity guy on those Dish Network commercials—have also put in time there. Most notably, Todd Barry, one of comedy’s top names, played two sold-out shows at the Ric Rac in February. Comedy promoter Corey Cohen is responsible for delivering these comedians of note to this tiny hole-inthe-wall in the Italian Market. Cohen has always loved comedy, has performed improv and sketch for several years and has become deeply involved in the industry. He began booking these shows at the Ric Rac to bring comedians he felt were falling through Philadelphia’s cracks. “All I want is to do as producer is give people the ability to see the coolest and smartest comedians working right now,” he says over whiskey at Oscar’s Tavern. “Over the years the comedy scene has really grown, both locally and nationally, and this town is certainly a reflection of that. But there was a gap here. Nobody was regularly tracking down and bringing in these specific comics, trying to match them to their crowds. I’ve given it a shot, and so far it’s been a great success.” Mande’s set will be followed by a screening of Down the Show, a sketch television show created, directed and written by the Philadelphia comedy community at large. The hilarious (and hilariously named) Noah Garfinkel opens the night of yuks. n Joe Mande performs Fri., April 29, 9pm. $15. With Noah Garfinkel. Connie’s Ric Rac, 1132 S.

Week's Worst TIE! Thirty Seconds to Mars / Further Seems Forever all it 30 Seconds Seems Forever since that’s the listening experience. It’s Barney for rockers—the most sentiC mental, formulaic overproduced crap since Bennifer made Gigli. Weepy manchild Chris Carraba helped found Further Seems Forever in ’98 before moving onto a career making tweens wet with sensitivity. FSM called it quits five years ago after a succession of singers, only to have Carraba resurrect their whiny, atmospheric first wave emo-punk for this tour. It’s hard to imagine something worse unless you threw a faded child star into a faux hard rock act and fed them Hoobastank coated in keyboards lifted from Phil Collins. Jared Leto’s so-called singing is a breathy melodramatic rasp that approximates Trent Reznor, but it’s a Beverly Hills High School production of Less Than Zero, inspiring less menace than Kate Moss in the food court. “Closer to the Edge”? Only if you’re counting the periphery of fame. (Chris Parker)

Album reviews in 30 seconds or less By Bill Chenovert

An Horse

Walls  (Mom + Pop Music) Sounds Like: Aussie duo’s second LP

after touring with Tegan and Sara, and it sounds like their styles are scissoring, I mean blending; shouty heartache, romantic misery. Free Association: Simple, anthemic tunes for angsty teenagers to write bad poetry to. For Fans Of: Silversun Pickups + Eisley, ladies lookin’ like Beiber.

tUnE-yArDs

w h o k i l l  (4AD) Sounds Like: Merrill Garbus is a

nutbag genius whose second is a breakthrough—her powerful, manly voice goes well with her blend of afrofolk, beats, loops and ukelele. Free Association: Definitely capitalizing on a hipster tribalism trend, but in a badass way. For Fans Of: Animal Collective x Paul Simon + crunk, face paint, asymmetrical hair.

Alela Diane

Alela Diane & Wild Divine (Rough Trade) Sounds Like: Cute Nevada City, Nev.,

folk crooner’s third gets fleshed out by a countrified backing band, and it’s a lovely retro-flavored LP of sad laments and heady heartbreak. Free Association: The best country doesn’t come from “the country” anymore. For Fans Of: Linda Ronstadt, Joanna Newsom + Bonnie Raitt.

Emmylou Harris

Hard Bargain (Nonesuch) Sounds Like: The Alabama native’s

64 and still has a heavenly voice, here she delivers on almost an hour of music that’s rich, nicely backed and reflective of her career. Free Association: Someone’s gotta show these whippersnappers how it’s done, right? For Fans Of: Joan, Joni, Patsy, Tammy, Loretta, silver foxes.

Vivian Girls

Share The Joy (Polyvinyl) Sounds Like: Cool New York girls feed

their fans with a batch of lazy, low-fi surf rock; a few brilliant moments, but mostly short, simply-played beachy psychedelia. Free Association: Proof you don’t need to be good at instruments to be a successful band. For Fans Of: Dum Dum Girls x the B-52’s; grungy, mediocre girl rockers, buzz bitches.

Panda Bear

Tomboy (Pawtracks) Sounds Like: A lot of the same (which

is awesome) from the Animal Collective kook—plenty of found sounds, loops, droney poly-rhythms and harmonious chanting. Free Association: Person Pitch is sacred. This is like gregorian chanting for hipsters. For Fans Of: Brian Wilson x Pink Floyd, Can, spacey stoner times, meditation.

By Dan Savage mail@savagelove.net

I’m a young heteroflexible guy who has been a “sugar baby” for a handful of wealthy older guys. I love it! I get money, I have fun being with them, and the guys seem to like having me around. The problem is that I just got with a new guy who is really great except for one thing: He is HIV positive. He says that his doctors predict he won’t have a shortened life span and may not even have any symptoms that would make his life uncomfortable. I like the fact that he told me, and I am open to being with him sexually. He is VERY submissive—he wants to be used and abused sexually, physically and mentally. My question is, what kinds of sex acts are OK to do with this guy? I read on one site that him rimming me is fine. But I can’t find a site that specifically explains which sex acts are safe and which ones aren’t when one person is positive and one person is negative. Help In Virginia

It’s pretty simple, HIV: Sex acts that expose you to his semen and/or blood are definitely unsafe, and sex acts that expose him to your semen and/ or blood are mostly safe. Rimming you, blowing you (even without a condom), getting fucked by you (with a condom)—all very low-risk for HIV transmission. If he’s on a drug regimen and his viral load is undetectable, HIV, your already low risks of being exposed while, say, accepting a blowjob (and a check) are even lower. The risks aren’t nonexistent—all sex acts carry some degree of risk—but if the risks were any closer to nonexistent, they’d be sitting on nonexistent’s lap. And bear this in mind: Odds are good that some of the other guys you’ve babied for—some of your previous daddies—were HIV positive and either didn’t know or didn’t have the decency to disclose. This guy’s willingness to disclose is evidence not just of his honesty and decency, HIV, but of his respect for you and his commitment to keeping you safe. This guy is less likely to ask you to engage in sex acts that are higher risk or unsafe than a guy who isn’t aware that he’s positive or is actively hiding the fact that he’s positive. And his interest in being “used and abused” creates lots of hot safe-sex-play options—letting him beat off while he licks your boots or jerking him off while he’s tied to the bed with your jock in his mouth are no-risk sexual activities that he’s likely to enjoy immensely.

Every time I’ve watched needle play in a dungeon-party situation—watched with my hands clamped over my eyes, peeking through the small spaces between my fingers—no one was being stuck with rusty needles by dirty-handed brutes. All the public needle-play scenes I’ve witnessed were ostentatiously sterile affairs: These kinksters, some of whom were trained medical professionals, made a big show of using alcohol wipes, cotton swabs, latex gloves and clean sharps. I think it’s fair to ask this girl for more information about her blood and needle experiences, about the safety precautions that her partners took, and about how recently she was tested. But rest assured, ER, that the most effective STI transmission routes involve sticking dicks in people in completely vanilla situations, not clean needles in dungeon-party situations. Here’s some information for MILK, the man who is aroused by the thought of being sprayed with his wife’s breast milk: It is common for newly lactating women to experience strong “milk ejection reflexes” during sex. This is induced by the hormone oxytocin, which is released during labor and orgasm, and when the milk “lets down” during breastfeeding. In other words: New mothers often spray milk when they get off. Most women are embarrassed when this happens, but at least MILK’s wife will know the first time it happens that her husband isn’t going to freak out about it. Breast-feeding Educator’s Sex Tips Thanks for sharing, BEST. CONFIDENTIAL TO AMERICAN LADIES: Republicans took the House of Representatives after campaigning on jobs, debt and taxes. But it’s been nonstop assaults on Planned Parenthood and reproductive freedom ever since. The GOP is always going on and on about how they want to shrink the size of government, and now we know why: They want to stuff the government in your vagina.

Withdrawal is a much more effective birth control method than most sex advisers are comfortable acknowledging. But facts are facts: A comprehensive study conducted by researchers at the Guttmacher Institute found that withdrawal was almost as effective a birth control option as condoms. (“Better Than Nothing or Savvy Risk-Reduction Practice? The Importance of Withdrawal,” Contraception, June 2009.) “If the male partner withdraws before ejaculation every time a couple has vaginal intercourse, about 4 percent of couples will become pregnant over the course of a year,” the authors of the study wrote. That compares pretty favorably

I’m a young lesbian. I recently met a girl who’s cute, and I think we’re on the likely-tohave-sex-soon track. The thing is, she confided in me that she’s participated in needle play in dungeon-party situations. I’m not someone who is turned off by kinkiness just ’cause it’s kinky, but it seems like even “safe” needle play is a recipe for STI transmission unless you’re playing with trained medical professionals. She says she gets tested regularly, but still, would it be really risky for me to sleep with her? Enthusiastic Reader

1-877-919-EASY (3279).18+

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY April 27 - May 3, 2011

I’m a 24-year-old straight guy. I’ve been with my girl for three years, and things are great. We have lots of sex—but for the last year or so, she has not been on birth control and we have not been using condoms. We’re not against the idea of a child, but we aren’t currently going for it. I was always told that pulling out was a 100 percent ineffective method of birth control. So my question is, I guess, could there be something wrong with one of us? How could we have unprotected sex for a year without getting her pregnant? We both really want children eventually and are worried it might not happen. Sent From My iPhone

with the 2 percent of straight couples who will become pregnant using condoms perfectly over the course of a year. In the real world, of course, very few people do anything perfectly. When you take mistakes, leaks and broken condoms into account, researchers estimate that 17 percent of straight couples who rely on condoms will become pregnant in any given year. Not all withdrawers use withdrawal perfectly, either—amazingly enough, some guys get distracted and forget to pull out as their orgasms approach—but the research shows that just 18 percent of straight couples who use withdrawal will get pregnant in any given year. So odds are good that you’re not infertile, SFMi, just lucky.
