FROM THE EDITOR

Shots fired KERITH GABRIEL

T

his Memorial Day weekend came with the ultimate sacriďŹ ce.

Listening to misconception after misconception about life in Philadelphia.

While many of you made the annual pilgrimage to the shore, our caravan headed north to visit family and friends in town for the weekend. Their location is a gorgeous one, full of acres of green grass, majestic views of mountains and the peace and quiet youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d kill for sometime on the nights thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police sirens, random ďŹ reworks and that drunk couple stumbling home from the bar.

But the trip also left us open to a barrage of comments and questions about the city, and our decision to call it home. To be honest, the questions didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me as much as passive aggressive statements like: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bet you guys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see this much grass every day, huh?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;where can you go to you play with your [kids] like this in the city?â&#x20AC;?

Our family is friends with a farmer replete with a full selection of all the classic barnyard animals. From a 2,100-pound bull to a selection of little ducks, there was so much to see. It was great to have my son see these animals up close in that setting because unless you head to the zoo or go check out Milkshake the Pig and the chickens at Greensgrow Farms, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not privy to animals up close and personal like that.

But he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in the animals right away. Instead, he picked up a basketball and wanted to dribble and shoot.

Again, the comments: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, he goes for the basketball, little city boy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come see the animals, I know you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to see them like this every day.â&#x20AC;?

But the piece de resistance, were the barrage of questions about the section of the city I live, and how soon am I getting out.

The reasons why I should consider ranged

3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

everything from how poor the school system is to the number of school shootings. An actual comment made was: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just be terriďŹ ed every day to live in a place where you could walk out your door or walk down the street and get shot.â&#x20AC;?

The only bullet I took was one for defending you this weekend, Philadelphia.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy to think that in a town less than 100 miles away from the city limits, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a close-minded approach to city life. I love Philadelphia. I was born here, I grew up both within and just outside its conďŹ nes.

I know that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little rough around the edges, but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine life anywhere else. Everywhere else feels like a vacation spot, you know the place you long to be to get away â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but after a few days youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to come home. This Memorial Day really helped to strengthen my bond, but really raise an eyebrow to the type of shit being portrayed each night on the evening news. As much as I really appreciate the hospitality and kindness of the family and friends that took us in, having to smile and nod through misconception and after painful misconception might have been the one moment throughout the trip I couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done without.

I hope there will come a day when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the dad complaining about crabgrass, sitting around swapping stories with my neighbor on the good deal I got on my ride along mower, excited to have kids in a school district where education is paramount and the coursework offers a path to excellence without having to shell out thousands upon thousands of hard-earned dollars year after year.

But that day is not today.

Until that day comes, I got your back, Philly. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take walking or biking over getting in my car to do pretty much everything.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll dine in your unbelievable restaurants and check out your incredible concerts and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the Market-Frankford Line to get there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll revel in your diversity and culture, the latter of utmost importance to me, raising multicultural children.

To wrap this up, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be remiss if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t steal a line from our cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most revered son, Meek Mill right now: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is Philly, you welcome to come check us.â&#x20AC;? Q

MUSIC fashioned late '70s punk rock reminiscent of Iggy and the Stooges and Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front woman, Arrow de Wilde, made her bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance an interactive one. Anyone close enough to the stage was subject to tampering in some way, shape or form. Members of the audience had the credentials hanging from their necks ripped off and thrown around, their eyes creepily gazed into, and their hair messed with by de Wilde, proving that the stillteenaged group of punk rockers simply does not give a fuck about personal space. During the show, de Wilde hopped on the bar next to World Cafe Liveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upstairs stage and drank beer straight from the taps as the bartenders stared at each other wondering what to do.

At the very end, she ran through the audience and, well, disappeared.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installment of Non Comm once again exposed the world to some of the best up-and-coming and established acts of music public radio has to offer.

Non Commâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Five A review of the best acts on the stage at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installment of the Non Commvention Festival

BY TOM BECK

E

arlier this month, 32 bands came to Philadelphia for four days of great tunes for WXPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (88.5-FM) Non Commvention festival. The event, affectionately referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Non Comm,â&#x20AC;? is open mostly to those entrenched in the public radio/music media industry. As in past years, more than just a few bands kicked ass.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a review of the best of the best.

Starcrawler Following their set, a fellow showgoer quizzically asked:â&#x20AC;? What the hell was that?â&#x20AC;?

Jacob Banks, a soul and R&B artist from Birmingham, England, changed things up a bit in what was a very indie rock heavy lineup. His raspy voice was one that mesmerized the audience, who likely wasn't as familiar with Banksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music as some of the other more high-proďŹ le artists on the bill. Dressed as if he just got back from a run in a full Nike tracksuit, Banks played the soulful music heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been putting out since January 2013, when he released his ďŹ rst EP, entitled The Monologue.

Since then, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s released two more albums, one in 2015 called The Paradox, and another in 2017 called The Boy Who Cried Freedom. Songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unknown (To You)â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chainsmokingâ&#x20AC;? are good starting off points if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to check out what Banks has to offer.

Lucy Dacus

The sultry, raspy version of R&B from UK singer Jacob Banks was a refreshing break from the lineup of indie rock bands in attendance.

Lucy Dacus blushed as Bob Boilen, NPRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progenitor of its Tiny Desk series, introduced Dacus as the songwriter behind his â&#x20AC;&#x153;favorite album of 2018 so far.â&#x20AC;?

If that made Dacus nervous, it certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show. She played a series of tracks from that very album, which is called Historian, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Addictionsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Shellâ&#x20AC;? and capped off the set with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Night Shift,â&#x20AC;? which was the singalong of the night. Clearly these radio industry peeps had done

their homework on Dacus, who to be fair, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly a newcomer anymore after her equally great debut album, No Burden, was released in 2016. She gained a lot of publicity opening for Hamilton Leithauser on a tour promoting No Burden and Leithauserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s I Had a Dream That You Were Mine. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t checked out Dacusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stuff, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already late to the party, but better late than never.

Low Cut Connie Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown heroes have developed a reputation for being arguably the best live band in the city, and their Non Comm performance was no exception.

The band played a variety of old and new tracks and wowed many out of towners in the audience (there were a lot of them, people from public radio stations from all over the country were invited to the set). Adam Weiner, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singer/songwriter/pianist/ frontman who got his start in live music playing some of New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grungiest gay bars, showed off his showmanship by playing the piano with his feet, swinging his hips and greeting members of the audience by taking a stroll through those who attended, greeting most of them with a hug.

The band played old tracks like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boozophilaâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shake It Little Tinaâ&#x20AC;? as well as tracks from the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest release, Dirty Pictures (Part 2), including the hit single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beverly,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh Suzanneâ&#x20AC;? and a cover of Alex Chiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey! Little Child.â&#x20AC;?

Courtney Barnett Barnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album, Tell Me How You Really Feel, is packed with the same sort of campy lyrics and head bobbing melodies dating back to her debut album, 2014â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas. Tracks lovers of her sound had learned to love several years ago, were on full display during her Non Comm show. Barnettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance easily took the cake for the best performance of the convention. She returns to Philly to play the Fillmore in October and you should buy tickets before it sells out; which looks pretty likely if her set at Non Comm was any indicator. Q TWITTER: @IMTOMBECK

Number of years Philly Beer Week has been an annual post-Memorial Day Weekend tradition in Philadelphia. In 2017, Philly Loves Beer celebrated â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten Years of Beers,â&#x20AC;? a notable milestone and anniversary considering what it was to the massive event itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become from those early beginnings in the Spring-Summer of 2007.

hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to the numbers that make up Philly Beer Week than the alcohol content of the brew. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a history and a science to the event that celebrates both a rich beer-making past and its revival to the region as, every day, more and more original craft breweries seem to be ďŹ nding their rightful home here in Philadelphia.

Many of those same breweries have partnered with the folks at Philly Loves Beer to tell their stories, and

through that collaboration, both the beer and the ďŹ gurative buzz theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received have made for Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance as one of the ďŹ ve best beer cities in America, home to some of the best award-winning beers both nationally and worldwide.

Along with that number here are a few others you should know before the start of Philly Beer Week, which kicks off with a relay of its iconic hammer throughout the city and Opening Tap, its swanky party chock-full of beer lovers of all types, both kicking off on June 1.

All of which is rounded out by a 14-member board consisting of guys like Tom Kehoe, the founder of Philly beer staple Yards Brewing, to Will Reed, co-owner of two of Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best bars in No Libsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Standard Tap and Fishtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Johnny Brendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Gold went to one regional brewery in 2SP for its Belgian and French inspired ale, Grisette.

West Philly lyricist Eric â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chillâ&#x20AC;? Moody will release the third canned installment of his signature beer, nicethingsIPA on June 2.

Hip Hops Rapper Chill Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nicethingsIPA proves nice things comes to those who wait

BY KERITH GABRIEL

T

he love affair between West Philly based brewery Dock Street and the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s native son, lyricist Eric â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chillâ&#x20AC;? Moody, ofďŹ cially continues with the upcoming third canning of his signature brew, nicethingsIPA. About a week before the annual party that is Philly Beer Week Opening Tap, Moody and the family at Dock Street threw a shindig of their own at the breweryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cannery, announcing the re-re-re-can of the heady 6.4 percent pineapple-infused IPA. The timing perhaps couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more perfect with another installment of Philly Beer Week on June 1 and nicethingsIPA available in both cans and draft at

0$< -81(

more than 50 outlets throughout the region.

To kickoff Philly Beer Week, the rapper even has a performance scheduled during its Opening Tap, held once again this year at the Fillmore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited every time we get another brew date, because [Dock Street and myself] really try to make it an event,â&#x20AC;? said Chill Moody, on the latest release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to stay â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;spectacleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because that comes with a bit of a negative connotation but we always look to make something of it.â&#x20AC;?

And the timing of Philly Beer Week? â&#x20AC;&#x153;[This year], the stars kind of aligned on this one. I had dreams of changing Philly Beer Week to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chilly Beer Week,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ cial,â&#x20AC;?

Moody jokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out to make it Chilly Beer Week this year.â&#x20AC;?

The collaboration of nicethingsIPA didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrive easily for Moody and came with slowly learning the process of how beer gets born.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to go back to 2015, when Dock Street released another pineapple-infused brew, a saison called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Nothing to Funk With,â&#x20AC;? an homage beer to the Wu Tang Clan.

Moody, at the breweryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release event for that beer, wanted in, but it was Dock Street that pumped the brakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ďŹ rst met Chill when we did the [Wu Tang beer] and he came up to us and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we should do this together,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and all of us were like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;who is this guy?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? recalled Dock Street vice president Marilyn Candeloro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked him whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his story, and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;well, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I just want to brew an IPA.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, we need

a story because we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t brew beer for the shit of it. But he kept coming around and took the time to form a strong friendship with our brewers. I got to know him and really see this whole presence that he has. He really promotes positivity and personally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big fan of that and for all of us [here at Dock Street], thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really what the nicethingsIPA is all about.â&#x20AC;?

But Moody said while it was about the beer, it was also about Dock Street striving to be a part of his West Philly neighborhood, with its location nestled along the same streets he roamed as a kid. Streets that today look a lot different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That neighborhood [where the brewery is] is the neighborhood I grew up in and I spent a lot of time there growing up,â&#x20AC;? Moody said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My aunt lives right on the corner of that block and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen how that area has

changed and been affected by gentriďŹ cation, a lot of people are being displaced and being replaced by businesses in that community. But Dock Street was a business that came in and tried as much as it could to give back and be a part of that community, and it was very inviting. You can ask anyone I know, you never felt like you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t welcomed when you went in there. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that about any other business in the neighborhood and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I really wanted to make a beer with them.â&#x20AC;?

With his hand in many hats, most notably a rap career that has been a dual benchmark of his success and being a true representative of Philadelphia, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been his positivity that has put people on notice, but this year he hopes his involvement with Philly Beer Week and a hopeful collaboration with Philly Loves Beer will serve to bring in a more diverse and inclusive corps of beer lovers and drinkers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opening Tap is one of my favorite events of the year, it gets crazy,â&#x20AC;? said Moody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still just a hidden gem, in that I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a lot of other rappers there, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be nice to make it more inclusive. The plan this year is to make it more inclusive and to do my part to bring everybody in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beer event, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a music event because [music is] usually tied to it. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lover of good music and a lover of good beer then you should be out there.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a positive kid from the neighborhood and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there putting good energy into all that he does, how could we not want to work with someone like that? Plus, every time we release [nicethingsIPA] we have a party and who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love a good party?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DOCK STREET BREWERY VICE PRESIDENT MARILYN CANDELORO

Seems lofty, but, from what it sounds like, Moody doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back down from a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a positive kid from the neighborhood and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there putting good energy into all that he does, how could we not want to work with someone like that?â&#x20AC;? said Candeloro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got this magic charisma and you just want to help him and be a part of what he represents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and honestly, it also it happens to be a really good beer. Plus, every time we release it we have a party and who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love a good party?â&#x20AC;? Q TWITTER: @SPRTSWTR

The Port Richmond crabhouse has remade itself on Richmond Ave.

New game, same name Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar heads into its second Philly Beer Week representing Port Richmond. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the story behind the pubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old-meets-new makeover.

Crabs.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the specialty of this Port Richmond staple since it opened in 1978. And while the name and the mainstay product have stayed the same, Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s today is anything but old school â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially when it comes to the beer.

In 2016, Mike "Scoats" Scotese and Pat McGinley, the architects of Northeast Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s craft beer boom, took over this neighborhood institution on the corner of Tioga and Richmond streets

0$< -81(

to expand on their small empire.

The duo also owns Grey Lodge in Mayfair, which has been hailed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best beer bars,â&#x20AC;? as well as SawTown Tavern in Tacony and Hop Angel Brauhaus in Fox Chase. Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the youngest addition, has already garnered buzz since its Scoats-McGinley makeover, dubbed by Philadelphia magazine as one of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best bar revivals.

And like its sister bars, Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has become a rare success story of old meets new on Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bar scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the future of neighborhoods bars,â&#x20AC;? head chef Dan Sterns tells Philly Weekly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That Coors Light and shot of your local whiskey bar is no more.

People want to come into a bar with nine different craft beers, they want 17 different ďŹ&#x201A;avored vodkas, they want 10 different Irish whiskeys. The shot and beer places are dead now.â&#x20AC;?

On a Thursday afternoon last week, a mix of regulars and destination drinkers ďŹ lter in for happy hour. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a standard playlist of nu-metal bands bumping on the digital jukebox. A half dozen people are spread across the bar, sipping beers from 10 rotating taps.

(No crabs in sight yet.) Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a group of men gathered around a hightop table for a summer beer tasting promoted by Leinenkugel Summer Shandy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of many events Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uses as a regular draw.

This week, Scoteseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and McGinleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarter of Northeast Bars will be participating in Philly Beer Week.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the ďŹ rst four stops during the Hammer of Glory relay on Friday, June 1, and each bar will also be featuring follow-up events catered to their individual tastes.

But Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is striving to be a part of Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food and booze scene year round.

Every six weeks, Sterns and general manager Bobby Rea also regularly collaborate on pub-style whiskey dinners. $45 gets you six whiskies, dinner and dessert. Rea, an Irish immigrant with a thick brogue, handpicks the ďŹ&#x201A;ight of liquors and Sterns fuses them into a dinner special, like a trout in connemara smoked whiskey sauce with ďŹ ngerling potatoes and asparagus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That sells like fucking crazy,â&#x20AC;? Sterns says.

Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be making its current comeback without the menu to match its ramped-up booze options â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and this is where Sterns has taken the lead while sticking true to the pubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seafood roots. First thing to know: Nothing is frozen. From 11 to 11 every day (midnight on the weekends) the kitchen crew serves up a changing menu of mostly seafoodbased inspirations, from mussels fra diavolo to oyster po boys. The crabs (dungeness, blue claw, snow) are priced at market rate, while pub sandwiches with fries are priced in the reasonable $10-$15 range.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly street parking at Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but many of the regular diners and drinkers are within walking distance, from morning to evening.

Lunch brings in plenty of sheet metal and concrete workers, Starnes says, who are fond of the shortrib grilled cheese, crab cakes and double-cooked buffalo wings. Dinner hours are family oriented â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and mostly driven by specials which are regularly posted on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram. And on the weekends, Sterns says, the bar has a regular crowd of younger Polish drinkers from the neighborhoods.

Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management also has an idea in the works for a walk-up takeout sandwich shop in the works for the nearby factory workers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time for a sit-down lunch.

For longtime Bonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regulars, the changes have been welcome, Sterns says, and keeping the original name hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a neighborhood staple,â&#x20AC;?

Sterns says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nostalgia to it.â&#x20AC;? Q TWITTER: @MAXMMARIN

Dive bar wedding This couple got spontaneously married at Dirty Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy hour, with regulars as their witnesses

BY MAX MARIN

T

his is a story about happy hour living up to its name.

Cheryl Gittings went to Dirty Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on Wednesday for the same reason she goes every week: Gail, the regular hump day barkeep, makes the best margaritas in Philly. But Gittings enjoys making new friends out of strangers, too, so when she noticed two especially happy women at the end of the bar, she invited them to join her crew of regulars for a round.

But Morgan McKenna and Rowena Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza had more than drinks in mind.

A few cocktails later, the young couple â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a waitress from Connecticut and a med student from Mumbai â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pulled out the wedding papers to show their newfound friends.

They wanted to get married at Dirty Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, they said.

As in, right now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so random,â&#x20AC;? Gittings said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were like, all we need is a couple witnesses.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called a Quaker wedding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an increasingly popular thing in Philly. Thanks to a 17th century statute, Pennsylvania is one of the few states that allows couples to tie the knot without an ofďŹ ciant. No master of ceremonies. No justice of the peace. Document in hand, you and your lover can show up at any bar in the state and get hitched, so long as you can cajole two barmates to serve as witnesses.

At Dirty Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, one of Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s archetypal downtown dive bars, eager witnesses were in no short supply.

Gittings, a DJ by trade, quickly got to work.

She queued up a nuptial playlist on the juke-

3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

box while David, another regular who enjoys taking photos, served as the weddingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impromptu iPhonographer. The couple signed their papers to Stevie Wonderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ribbon In The Sky,â&#x20AC;? and a round of applause from the dozen other drinkers at the bar. (Surprise: A few Philly journalists just happened to be on the scene.)

Random? Sure. But the cash-only watering hole wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly a whimsical venue for the couple.

Six months ago to the day, Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza and McKenna met at the very same bar on 13th and Pine Streets. They were a rare Tinder success story, they say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And our ďŹ rst date still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ended,â&#x20AC;? Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza said. (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so gay,â&#x20AC;? McKenna joked.)

The couple had originally wanted a City Hall wedding. But when they found out about a two-week waiting period, they opted for a self-uniting ceremony. They had picked the date â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 23, 2018 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the only plan was to get hitched between sunrise and sunset. That morning they woke up in their downtown apartment with their cat, Mook, and went out in search of a venue.

They stopped at Reading Terminal Market where they bought some bright ďŹ&#x201A;owers, ďŹ ne cheeses and a nice bottle of champagne.

By mid-afternoon, they found themselves at Dirty Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

This wedding scene would not have been possible just four years ago. In May 2014, a federal judge issued a landmark ruling that Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decades-old ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.

But their union wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t without obstacles.

Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza hails from India, a country where gay couples still face persecution under colonial-era laws and a staunchly conservative culture. She came to Philly for medical school, and while she had dated women before, McKenna was the ďŹ rst woman who made her feel the ineffable magic of love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She felt like home to me, and to feel home in a foreign country is so rare,â&#x20AC;? Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza said.

McKenna held Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand when she recently came out to her parents. To their immeasurable surprise, the parents opened their arms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said they love me no matter what,â&#x20AC;? Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the smartest, most beautiful woman Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever met,â&#x20AC;? McKenna said of Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Souza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She cracks me up and catches me off guard and holds me accountable. She changed my life forever and I never want to be apart.â&#x20AC;?

With the Viagra Patent About to Expire, a New Sex Pill Takes the Spotlight A patented pill costing less than $1 a dose stands to help millions of men with failing sex lives; no prescription will be required

By Ray Wilson Associated Health Press AHPâ&#x2C6;&#x2019; A new sex pill is set to take the spotlight with the Viagra patent about to expire. But unlike the former, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require a prescription and is priced just under a $1 a dose.

The new pill called Vesele is part of a new class of performance enhancers for men, which work instantaneously on the body and mind triggering arousal and ďŹ rmer, harder erections.

Formulated with a special compound known as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;acceleratorâ&#x20AC;?, Vesele can transport its active ingredients faster and more efďŹ ciently into the blood stream, where it begins to work its magic.

The patented ingredient blend initiates a process known as vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels throughout the body to expand. This allows blood to ďŹ&#x201A;ow directly to penis and genitals, resulting in harder erections which last longer. Cialis and Viagra are based around a simlilar concept.

The result is a rush of blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow to the penis and brain, helping to create an impressive erection and a surging desire for sex.

Often, this is all men need to get going. And when taken regularly, many men say they are energized and aroused all day.â&#x20AC;?

Great Sex At Any Age With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Esber and his team are now offering Vesele in the US. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.

Men across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be.

In the trial above, as compared to baseline, men taking Vesele saw a staggering 85% improvement in erection hardness over a four-month period. Their erections also lasted twice as long.

These same men also experienced an astounding 82% increase in the desire for sex (libido/sex drive) and an even greater improvement in overall satisfaction and ability to satisfy their partners.

But what makes Vesele so remarkable, and what these other sex pills canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do, is that also directs a small portion of this blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal. In laymenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on.

Many men taking Vesele described feeling horny and aroused through the day. The anticipation before sex was amazing. They were also easily turned on. Their moods were more upbeat and positive, too.

This is why the makers of Vesele say their pill has worked so effectively in clinical trials. It stimulates the two most important organs for great sex, the penis and the brain.

Faster Absorption into the Blood Stream

The Brain Erection Connection Until now, medical researchers did not fully understand the brain-erection connection. It has now been made clear with Vesele.

When both are supplied with a constant blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow, men are harder and ďŹ rmer for longer...and have unbelievable sex drives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the research and treatment methods for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexual failures have focused on physiological factors and have neglected the emotional ones. For the leading sex drugs to work, like Cialis and Viagra, you need visual stimulationâ&#x20AC;? explains Dr. Henry Esber, the creator of Vesele. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And although they work for some men, the majority experience absolutely no fulďŹ llment during sex.

According to research published by the National Institute of Health, 50% of men taking these drugs stop responding or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate their side effects...and on top of that they spend $50 per pill and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even work half the time.

This is what makes Vesele so different and effective. It ďŹ&#x201A;oods the blood stream with key ingredients which cause arteries all over the body to expand. The patented accelerator speeds up this process even more.

Vesele is made up of three specialized ingredients: two clinical strength vasodilators and a patented absorption enhancer often called an accelerator. According to an enormous amount of clinical data, each is very safe.

Research shows that with age, many men lose their desire and interest in sex. They also struggle to produce an erection ďŹ rm enough for penetration.

And although there are many theories as to why this happens (including a loss in testosterone) one thing is certain, inadequate blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow is virtually always to blame. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why sex drug manufacturers focus on blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow, it makes your erection hard.

But whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more surprising, and what these manufacturers have failed to consider, is that lack of blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow can also kill your sex drive. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because blood supplies energy for the brain. This energy is required for creating brainwaves that cause excitability and arousal.

Studies show the Vesele stimulates the entire cardiovascular system, including the arteries that lead to both the brain and penis. The extreme concentration of the ingredients combined with the accelerator ensures that this process starts quickly.

The sexual beneďŹ ts of Vesele are also multiplied as its ingredients build up in the system over time. This is why many men take it every single day.

Expiring Patent Opens the Door to a New Sex Pill: Vesele is a new pill that cost just $1 a dose does not require a prescription. It works on both body and mind to increase arousal and erection hardness.

Recent Studies Show Positive Effects on Women In the same study referenced throughout, Vesele was also shown to have an amazing (and somewhat surprising) effect on women too. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the same arteries and vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the brain and genitals are the same in men and women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our most recent study, women taking Vesele saw a stunning 52% improvement in arousal and sex drive. Perhaps more impressive, they also experienced a 57% improvement in lubrication.

You can imagine why some couples are taking Vesele together.

Everything feels better. Everything works better. Everyone performs better. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly amazing.â&#x20AC;?

A New Frontier of Non-Prescription Sex Pills With daily use, Vesele is helping men (and women) restore failing sex lives and overcome sexual lets downs without side effect or expense.

Through a patented absorption enhancer, the Vesele formula hits the bloodstream quickly, resulting in phenomenal improvements in erection ďŹ rmness and hardness. By boosting blood ďŹ&#x201A;ow to the brain, users also experience sexual urges and arousal they often havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t felt in years.

SAVAGE LOVE

What works off if rather than simply hearing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excuse meâ&#x20AC;? when you are inadvertently in someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way, the person trying to gain access says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you have to stand there?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just Seems Rude

DAN SAVAGE

I

am a 38-year-old gay man with a serious problem. My boyfriend of ďŹ ve years has developed a strange fascination. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always watched porn together, but now he has been looking at straight porn and even lesbian porn (!!!) more and more often. More than once he has expressed an interest in having a MMF threesome â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a self-proclaimed gold-star gay! This week, I discovered he had hidden a Fleshlight from me. I could tell he had used it.

What is going on with him? On the other hand, we still have sex pretty frequently. He really gets off when I call his ass a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pussy,â&#x20AC;? which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do to turn him on, but I ďŹ nd it pretty weird. He also tells me he gets off on the thought of the two of us fucking a woman together. This really seems bizarre! Could my beautiful bottom boy be turning bi? If he is, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how we can handle it. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Guy Alarmed, Yeah, By Younger Boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Interest Turning bi? Unlikely. Always was bi and only just realized it? Likelier. Always was bi but identiďŹ ed as gay because (1) he prefers men as romantic partners and (2) the biphobia he encountered in gay male spaces/bedrooms/buttholes convinced him to stay closeted but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to live a lie anymore and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done hiding from the man he loves but instead of using his words and coming out to you like a grown-up, GAYBYBI, your boyfriend is letting you know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bi with his porn choices and a big push to make a MMF threesome sound like a sexy adventure you would both enjoy? Likeliest. As for how to handle it, GAYBYBI, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to use your words: Ask your boyfriend if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bi.

(Spoiler: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bi, bi-curious, or so homoďŹ&#x201A;exible he could tour with Cirque du Soleil.) If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not interested in having sex with women, tell him so. If being with you means he can never have sex with a woman, tell him so. And if you would never knowingly date a bi guy, tell him he deserves better.

A relationship question that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve sex: Occasionally when two people live together, they bump into each other or one may get in the way of the other. Is it reasonable to be put

3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

People who are courteous to strangers (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excuse me, can I squeeze past you?â&#x20AC;?) and contemptuous with intimate partners (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you have to stand there, you fucking dumbass?â&#x20AC;?) donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t value their partners and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve intimacy. People who are assholes to everyone donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve intimacy either, of course, but they get points for being consistent.

I recently spent a wonderful weekend with a young woman from out of town who identiďŹ es as queer and poly. Being the curious guy I am, I had her explain what these things meant to her. She went on to say that she is considering changing from poly to nonmonogamous. I ďŹ nd this confusing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly nonmonogamous, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never thought of myself as poly. What is the difference? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Confused Over Lines Inside Names I would describe the difference as googleable, COLIN. But since you asked: A non-monogamous person has sex with their partner and others; a poly person has or is open to having committed and concurrent romantic relationships. For one example: An ethically non-monogamous woman fucks the boyfriend/husband she loves and other guys she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t; a poly woman has two (or more) guys she both loves and fucks.

I recently posted an online ad for a jack-off buddy. I got a response from a man who turned out to be a gorgeous, young Sri Lankan dude with a huge, beautiful uncut cock. Anyway, I was really looking forward to him jacking me off and vice versa. But when I arrived, he said he was only interested in me giving him a massage and then a handjob. Apparently, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a straight guy who wanted to experiment with men in a very limited way. Like I said, SUPER HOT, so I happily obliged. But after he came, I was really aching for release myself. But as I stated earlier, he made it clear he did not want to reciprocate. After we were ďŹ nished, he indicated that he might hit me up again. Do you think I should continue with the massage and â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy endingâ&#x20AC;? in hopes he will someday feel comfortable enough to reciprocate? Or should I just go ahead and ďŹ nd myself another jack-off buddy? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Craving Uncut Masculine Sri Lankan

What They Are Saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Conway team delivers! Kathy and Pat had our house sold in 5 days!!! And we had several viewings in those short 5 days. They are truly professionals and treated us like family. When an issue arose (thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something), they had it covered. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for a swifter and more seamless sale. They know Queen Village and their expertise and efďŹ ciency now have our old neighbors calling their ofďŹ ce. Thanks so much!â&#x20AC;? Avi & Debra Galler
