ImageOut 2012 Over the course of 10 days, October 5-14, ImageOut: The Rochester LGBT Film & Video Festival will celebrate two decades of bringing to this city the world’s finest films about the ever-evolving lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender experience. The 2012 installment consists of 40 programs of features, documentaries, and short films, including the Youth Project Film Series, a selection of flicks free to those under 21, as well as the popular ImageOut There! Series, which this year showcases movies in which the LGBT aspect isn’t entirely front and center, but is instead woven into the fabric of the stories.

ImageOut continues to offer programs like the donation-enabled ImageOutreach, which provides senior discounts, sign-language interpreting, and other services to make the festival accessible to everyone. And remember to hit up Visual Studies Workshop Gallery for “Twenty20,” the ImageArt exhibition on display through October 20.

urban journal | by mary anna towler

The RPO drama: Can this marriage be saved? This should be a joyful week for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. It’s celebrating its 90th anniversary, and its new music director, Arild Remmereit, begins his second season on Thursday night with a successful first year under his belt. Success wasn’t guaranteed. Remmereit’s predecessor, the highly popular Christopher Seaman, was a hard act to follow. On top of that, Remmereit injected into his firstyear programs a healthy dose of music new to the orchestra and to many of the RPO concertgoers. At the concerts I attended, though, Remmereit got enthusiastic applause. He was putting his own stamp on the RPO, right from the start. And many of us hoped he was proving that large RPO audiences could be introduced to orchestral works they had never heard and wouldn’t bolt for the door. At least among my friends, there was a good bit of excitement about the RPO. Unfortunately, this year’s season opens under a cloud. A looming deficit and rumblings about discord at the RPO – on the board and between Remmereit and the RPO’s CEO, Charlie Owens – turned into major news on Sunday with a Stuart Low article in the Democrat and Chronicle. Conflict in arts organizations isn’t new. Nor is this the first for the RPO. And maybe it’s no surprise that it comes as the RPO, like many other arts organizations throughout the country, struggles with financial problems. Put any organization under financial stress, and conflict may very well break out. Low’s article focused on both the interpersonal conflict and the financial stress. Some RPO supporters feel that the bigger challenge is financial. I’m not so sure. And best I can tell, financial challenges didn’t spur the conflict; personality did. I haven’t talked to Remmereit or Owens, but I have talked to supporters of both men. And based on those conversations, I’m worried. If the RPO board can’t remedy the situation, it may be almost impossible to raise the money the orchestra needs. In his article, Low says the conflict originated with disagreements between Remmereit and Owens over “artistic and administrative priorities.” Supporters with whom I’ve talked go well beyond that, complaining about what they see as problems in the management style and communications skills of both men. One result is an RPO board that is

If the RPO board can’t remedy the situation, it may be almost impossible to raise the money the orchestra needs.” divided – as are some patrons. Remmereit and Owens each have strong supporters and strong critics – so much so that when they talk about the two, it’s as if they are seeing entirely different people. And predictably, morale is said to be low. As it should have, the RPO board brought in outside help to try to improve the relationship between Remmereit and Owens. Management coaches like this can do great things, and I’m relieved to hear that the board took this step, and that Remmereit and Owens were willing to work with the coaches. The question is: now what? The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra is a Rochester treasure, and not just historically. It’s important to the Rochester economy, contributing to a quality of life that few cities this size can match. Can Owens and Remmereit heal their rift – and make whatever other “management style” changes they need to make? There are reports that they’re trying. Ultimately, it’s up to them – and just as important, it’s up to RPO board members and leaders. They must come together, agree on firm goals, state clearly what they expect, and hold everybody accountable. The RPO will live through this. And I don’t want to blow the conflict out of proportion. But I do think it’s serious, and fixing it won’t be easy. The level of animosity and mistrust seems deep. People on both sides of this conflict believe sincerely that they are right. Maybe one side is. But it would be a good idea for each side to listen to the other, to stop pointing fingers. The RPO is far more important than personal allegiances.

Focusing on climate change

I wish “Climate’s Politics Problem” was not the last in a series; climate change is becoming more of an issue, not less. Regardless of who gets elected president, one of them will have to address the “The National Global Change Research Plan: 2012-2021” that was released in April by President Obama. It’s interesting to hear statements like “It really helps to frame it in different terms instead of vague climate change”; this kind of backdoor strategy for solving one of the greatest issues of our times seems to have caught the imagination of many. If anything, it’s convenient to believe that climate change, the warming of our entire atmosphere, can be solved if it accommodates our crazy economics and loony politics. But it doesn’t work that way. It’s the other way around. In order to solve climate change (and this is what most do not want to hear), we are going to have to change our economics so that our environment is not simply a negative externality and our politics so that ideology gives way to reality. Baby steps, little changes here and little changes there, by individuals, business, and political leaders, sounds nice, but baby steps will not turn back our atmosphere’s carbon dioxide concentration from its present 394 parts per million to what many experts believe should be at 350 parts per million.

Evaluating city teachers

In “Chasing School Reform” (Urban Journal, September 19), you seemed surprised that principals’ evaluations of teachers resulted in all teachers being “satisfactory.” In a typical 3000-student high school, there might be 75 or 80 teachers. A certain number of them will retire every year, so each spring principal interview to fill a City

few positions. And they’re aware that statewide, 33 percent of new graduates with teaching degrees leave the profession within three years. Principals need to spend time to find candidates who will fit into their schools, and they also spend time during the year coaching and evaluating new teachers. I was a high school teacher for 14 years, and before that I worked in manufacturing, often as a supervisor. While teaching, I determined that teachers pretty much fit on the bell curve I learned about in statistics class. Eighty-five percent were good teachers who wanted students to excel and were willing to attend classes to learn new ways to become better teachers; 7.5 percent were beginners, learning on the job and getting better; and 7.5 percent were retired in position, and probably weren’t very effective. These same percentages were true of people working everywhere. No parent wants their child to have an average teacher; they all want the best. Those parent demands lead to rewording the categories as “satisfactory,” “exceeds expectations,” and “superlative” teachers. There is no average, or regular, anymore. This is especially true with the current political push to make teacher evaluations public knowledge; a principal knows that parents won’t want average teachers. A number of people recognize that using those evaluations of teachers is useless. They have proposed measuring teachers by their students’ success on statewide exams. Good idea, but the measurement scale needs to be different for each school district. It won’t work countywide, for two reasons. First, the City of Rochester has neighborhoods where housing is less expensive than it is in the suburbs. So 15 years ago a number of the Lost Boys of Sudan, who’d never been in a school, arrived. Later came a number of refugees from Bosnia; more recently, a significant population of immigrants from Myanmar and Tibet. None spoke English, so they started with a huge disadvantage. Second, in some school districts (like Pittsford) English, math, social studies, and science aren’t taught during the last period of the day, when students are tired and not at their best. The last period is for electives like art, music, business, and technology. This allows those districts to hire average teachers and pay average wages but achieve great results on

standardized tests. This only works in districts wealthy enough to have lots of electives. Of course, schools need changing. We can’t go on as we are. But knee-jerk fads and simplistic “sound bite” fixes need thorough evaluation before implementation. And the high level of poverty in the city does hurt students’ chances of success. I don’t believe everything Adam Urbanski says, but I believe him when he says that many of our city school problems could be fixed if we could ensure that each student got a good night’s sleep on school nights and arrived at school properly fed and ready to learn.

“Will government and taxpayers be willing to provide the funding that these districts need?” Good grief, Mary Anna, give it up already. Rochester spends more per capita than almost every other school district in the US, and 9 percent of the black males graduate on time. Can’t you finally – after decades of beating the money drum – bring yourself to admit this abject failure has nothing to do with money? It is a cultural problem; kids with no parents or parents who themselves are on welfare are not motivated or equipped for success in school. When the black community takes responsibility for the disintegration of its culture at the hands of the government welfare state, then you can start the long (likely decades) process of rebuilding the black families; only then will those kids start performing well in school.

Posted on rochestercitynewspaper.com This matter has been mishandled by the Democrats (“Indigent Burial Legislation Defeated,” News). They should simply have proposed that the county supplement the state’s burial allotment. Not that the end result would have been any different, considering that Maggie’s Minions in the County Legislature see no need to waste tax dollars on the poor, who they view as the enemy and part of Romney’s 47 percent who aren’t going to vote Republican.

New director at Eastman House

Bruce Barnes will be the George Eastman House’s new executive director replacing Anthony Bannon, who retired last May. Barnes is the president and founder of American Decorative Art 1900 Foundation. He lived in Rochester from 2000 to 2004, and served as chief executive officer of Element K.

Slaughter leads in Siena poll A poll by the Siena Research Institute put Democratic incumbent Louise Slaughter ahead of her Republican challenger Maggie Brooks by 10 points, 52 percent to 42 percent, in the race for the 25th Congressional District. Likely voters said Slaughter is better on health care, education, and war. Slaughter has a big lead in Rochester, according to the poll, while Brooks leads in Western Monroe County.

Jobless rate drops The Rochester metro’s unemployment rate was 8.3 percent for August, with 44,100 people looking for jobs, according to the Labor Department. That’s a decrease from July’s rate of 8.5 percent, but higher than a year ago. Rochester’s unem-

ployment rate is still lower than most urban areas in the state with Buffalo at 8.8 percent and Syracuse at 8.6 percent for August.

Kodak abandons digital printers

Eastman Kodak’s troubles continue to mount. The company will no longer make desktop digital printers after investing millions to develop the line. The digital printers were supposed to be one of Kodak’s future core businesses once the bankruptcy is completed. The company also announced that it has increased the number of employees it plans to cut from 1,000 to 1,200.

Standardized testing challenged

The Rochester school board approved a policy asking Albany lawmakers to re-evaluate its use of high-stakes standardized testing. Board members said the testing encourages teachers to instruct students how to pass tests, but doesn’t help students develop critical-thinking skills. Board member Cynthia Elliott voted against the measure, saying it lacked specifics.

College Town kickoff Demolition of three older office buildings on Mount Hope and Elmwood avenues will mark the beginning of the College Town project next month. The 16-acre mixed-used development targets the west side of Mount Hope between Elmwood Avenue and Crittenden Boulevard. The project was initiated by the University of Rochester to help integrate the institution and the neighborhood. Plans for College Town include a Barnes and Noble — which will be UR’s official campus bookstore — hotel and conference center, offices, grocery store, and street-level retail with apartments above. There will also

be at least 10 units — of 150 total — of affordable housing, something that City Council President Lovely Warren fought to include. The project is receiving a fair amount of public support, including a $20 million federal loan, county tax credits, city grant, and it is included in the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council’s package of projects it wants the state to fund. The latter move could net College Town an additional $4 million. Warren says College Town is worth the investment because of the jobs it will create, the affordable housing component, and the sales-tax revenue it will generate. Estimates are that

the $100 million project will create approximately 580 new jobs. Warren says College Town will also provide needed services for UR employees and for patients of Strong Memorial Hospital and their families. “They may need supplies really quickly and they have to go outside of the city to get them,” she says. The project’s site plan is currently being reviewed by the City of Rochester. A representative of Cleveland-based developer Fairmount Properties says construction should begin in the spring, with a grand opening targeted for late summer 2014.

Another delay in fracking review A technicality will most likely delay New York’s decision on fracking until next year. Recently, state Department of Environmental Commissioner Joseph Martens announced that the state would study the potential health impacts of high-volume hydraulic fracturing. The effort will be led by Dr. Nirav Shah, commissioner of the state Department of Health. But the study means that the state’s decision on fracking will again be delayed. And that means the state will miss a deadline to finalize proposed regulations that officials introduced in 2011. “Given that DEC has said no regulations or final decision will be issued until the completion of Dr. Shah’s review, should highvolume hydraulic fracturing move forward, it is expected that a new rule-making process would be undertaken,” said DEC spokesperson Emily DeSantis in an e-mail statement. “That process is required to include a public comment period and a public hearing. It affects the regulations only.” In news reports, gas industry and landowner representatives said they’re frustrated by the repeated delays, and worried that the governor is abandoning science for politics. Some fracking critics greeted the news with skepticism. The delays mean that the Cuomo administration is taking its time to

review fracking, not that it will reject the technique, they said. Environmental groups have many concerns with the state’s fracking review and with the process as a whole. file Photo Ever since New York State began contemplating high-volume hydraulic fracturing four years ago, critics questioned whether the state has the manpower to effectively watchdog the controversial drilling technique. Last week, Earthworks reported on the inspection practices of New York and other states with drilling going on, including Pennsylvania. The report says that in 2010, 76 percent of New York’s gas and oil wells went uninspected. (It’s not clear how often New York is required to inspect wells.) And when violations were found, the fines were inadequate, the report says. In New York, the maximum fine for a violation of the state mineral resources laws is $8,000 and an additional $2,000 for each day the violation continues, the report says. Other environmental laws related to water pollution may carry steeper fines.

Art Walk Extension to open

Art Walk Extension showcases a mix of sculptures from nationally-known artists, to tile mosaics on streetlight poles created by local students. Photos by matt deturck

It’s been a long, arduous journey, but Art Walk Extension in Rochester’s Neighborhood of the Arts will be finished early this month. And if it’s true that art is in the eye of the beholder, it’s probably also true that the success of a major urban development project is equally subjective. The end result of Art Walk Extension frustrates some people and delights others. The official opening is on Friday, October 5. A bevy of NOTA’s art studios, galleries, museums, restaurants, and businesses will be open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Art Walk Extension, which city officials say has cost roughly $9 million, began with the redevelopment of University Avenue from North Goodman Street north to Union Street, and North Goodman from University Avenue east to College Avenue. Sidewalks have been remade to resemble metropolitan boulevards replete with outdoor sculptures, benches, and lighting. Some of the highlights include artist Cliff Garten’s “Needle and Spindle” illuminated sculpture on North Goodman, a reference to the manufacturing work once associated with the area. A sculpture by Tom Otterness is planned for the Memorial Art Gallery’s new outdoor Centennial Sculpture Park. Work by Deborah Butterfield, Wendell Castle, Albert Paley, George Rickey, and many other well-known artists will also be displayed. And an interactive piece titled “Traveling Through Stillness” is slated for East Avenue in front of the Rochester Museum and Science City

Center. A changing, two-dimensional outdoor gallery is planned for the front of the Anderson Artist building on North Goodman Street. Planning for Art Walk Extension began in 2008 with about $3.8 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and about $1.8 million secured by Representative Louise Slaughter in federal transportation funds. The project also received some city funding, as well as grants from the National Endowment of the Arts and through State Senator Joe Robach’s office. Art Walk Extension grew out of the monumental success of ARTWalk. Often referred to as an outdoor museum trail, ARTWalk was a largely grassroots effort. It also involved major reconstruction of University Avenue from North Goodman Street eastward, as well as a mix of sculptures, bus shelters, and artistic enhancements to sidewalks and street lamps. Many residents and business owners credit ARTWalk for launching the revitalization of the city’s NOTA area. But what initially was supposed to be phase two of the original ARTWalk project imploded over serious differences in visions. While ARTWalk emphasized the talents of local artists, Art Walk Extension became a much larger project. And some of its organizers and participants wanted to open the call for artwork to artists from around the country. The split between the organizers of ARTWalk and Art Walk Extension has never been amicably resolved. The city’s senior

engineer on Art Walk Extension, Paul Way, would not comment on the turmoil. He says the project is an overwhelming success. “This really is a regional attraction,” Way says. “It really will be a huge draw for people to come to the area.” But Doug Rice, one of ARTWalk’s founders, is less supportive. “The finished project has many good attributes,” he said in a written statement. “Unfortunately, community engagement isn’t one of them. This was a project that arose from the efforts of a large group of Rochesterians who created an openair chartered public art museum called ARTWalk. Once the federal money for the project was allocated, the city did not recognize or respect our accomplishments and not only relegated us to the sidelines, but co-opted our name and 10 years’ worth of tireless volunteer labor for the project.” Eric Kunsman, owner of Booksmart Studio on Anderson Street, participated in the planning meetings for Art Walk Extension. He says he wishes Rice and the other members of ARTWalk would consider rejoining the larger project. He says he understands Rice’s concerns, but that the project did have support from volunteers and the local arts community. “I participated because I wanted to make sure that I did have a voice,” Kunsman says. He says he can look out on the street and see the fruition of the ideas that he and others introduced in early planning meetings.

There were many opportunities for public input during planning for Art Walk Extension, says Eric Kunsman, founder of Booksmart Studio. Photo by matt deturck

And the area as well as local artists will benefit from the work of nationally known artists, he says. “People will come to see their work, as well as the work of local artists,” Kunsman says. “What if we had put all of this effort into this and nobody came?” ARTWalk, University Avenue, Neighborhood of the Arts, Rochester neighborhood revitalization, Rochester artists

Grilled pork (left photo) and a purple rice dessert (right photo) at Thai Lao Restaurant on University Avenue. PHOTOS BY MATT DETURCK

The heat is on Thai Lao Restaurant 309 University Ave. 454-4882 Monday-Wednesday 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Thursday-Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Sunday 5-9 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

Sweat breaks across my forehead. My eyes tear up. My nose is running. And I swear that my ears are ringing. I’ve only scooped one or two tangles of bright white rice noodles from the bowl of lava-red broth in front of me and I’m already in agony — the good kind of agony. The second bite is even more intense, and by the third — this time with a bit of cabbage and some chopped chicken — I’m waiting for the welcome numbness that often dulls the burn of some of the world’s hottest cuisines. Ten minutes later, with my bowl only half empty, I’m praying for endorphins, for numbness, for oblivion. But it doesn’t come. As I near the bottom of the bowl, the settled spices and herbs get even more vicious, the burn complemented with the aroma of lemongrass and Thai basil, ginger and

cilantro, smoked chilis and garlic. This bowl of khao poon may be the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten anywhere, and if I’m suffering for it, I have no one but myself to blame: I was the one who thought I could handle three out of four stars. At the 6-month-old Thai Lao Restaurant on the corner of University Avenue and Union Street, the menu is small, but the flavors are big. Unlike so many Thai-like restaurants in the area, Thai Lao’s chef and owner Tommy Xomvimane does not pull his punches. The food comes in four degrees of spiciness (he claims that he can make things even spicier, but anything past four makes even him a bit dizzy) and is full of flavors that aren’t commonly prominent in Rochester Thai food: fish sauce, fermented bean paste, and herbs for which no English names exist. Xomvimane, who learned to cook by watching his mother and then making her recipes his own (although Mom occasionally pitches in at Thai Lao’s kitchen), presents the same food at his restaurant that he eats at home. It’s a risky move — and one that some of his family members discouraged when he proposed it, instead suggesting that he go to work in an established Thai restaurant

and learn how Americanized Thai food was made. But given the growing interest in Asian cuisines and the less-timid palates of the current generation of diners, this is one risk that seems to have paid off for the 38-yearold chef. Business, he tells me, is good, and a steady stream of regulars bring more and more of their friends into the fold all the time, giving the restaurant what feels like an almost cult-like status among foodies. This is one place where you can get “real” Thai food in the Rochester area. But most of Xomvimane’s menu isn’t strictly

speaking Thai at all. It’s Laotian food, and the chef is quick to point out that only a tiny number of restaurants (by my count, two) in the area present Lao food rather than Vietnamese or Thai cuisine. Lao is a hybrid of the two, borrowing the heat and curries from Thailand, and a predilection for grilled meats and noodles from Vietnam. So, you might begin your lunch or dinner in Saigon with a plate of tender, translucent Vietnamese spring rolls ($5.99) full of fresh greens and tiny shrimp along with rice noodles and a sweet and sour peanut sauce to dip them in, but your meal might end with

pad Thai ($6.99-$8.99) — although this is pad Thai like you’ve never had it before. Unlike most versions of the dish that end up bright red and with only the faintest taste of shrimp and a mostly sweet flavor profile, Xomvimane’s pad Thai noodles end up an appealing tan color because of the generous dollop of hoisin sauce that he stirs into them, and the fish sauce that is normally left out of Americanized versions of the dish is here in full force (albeit well-balanced with other flavors in a feat of kitchen alchemy), highlighting the fresh shrimp rather than burying it in starch. Think of it as pad Thai for those who favor savory over sweet. Other, similar combinations leap to mind. A plate of tender grilled pork marinated in lemongrass and garlic ($12.95) is about as Vietnamese a presentation as I can imagine, and one of the more satisfying ones to boot. But where it would be served with rice noodles and fresh vegetables in Vietnam, here Xomvimane pairs it with that quintessentially Thai dish, shredded green papaya salad. The crunch and icy heat of the salad pairs beautifully with the smoky meat, and if you really need a bit of extra fire the chef will gladly add a scoop of pickled ground hot peppers to the meat, giving it more heat and a nice briny accent. It’s chili-heads, though, who will find their true heaven at Thai Lao. At three out of four stars, the khao poon ($7.95) that I had for lunch one afternoon was the hottest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth, inducing a pleasurable endorphin stupor that lasted most of the afternoon. The dish, a combination of thick rice noodles, roasted cornish hen, green herbs, shallot, scallion, and both cabbage and field greens luxuriating in bright-red broth wasn’t the one-dimensional fire bomb that you often encounter. The heat acted as a carrier for other more subtle spices and aromas, drawing you back again and again, even if you know you’ll pay for it later on. This subtle and skillful hand with the spices and heat sets Xomvimane’s food apart from other Thai and Lao restaurants in the city, making it worth the trip even if you can’t stand the full force of the fire burning at the heart of almost every dish on the menu. And if you can’t take the heat, you can always take refuge in a glass of strong iced coffee enriched with sweet condensed milk — a perfect salve for a burning mouth and a nice pick-me-up for the afternoon.

FILM FESTIV

PAPA L

AL TURNS

ver the course of 10 days, October 5-14, ImageOut: The Rochester LGBT Film & Video Festival will celebrate two decades of bringing to this city the world’s finest films about the ever-evolving lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender experience. The 2012 installment consists of 40 programs of features, documentaries, and short films, including the Youth Project Film Series, a selection of flicks free to those under 21, as well as the popular ImageOut There! Series, which this year showcases movies in which the LGBT aspect isn’t entirely front and center, but is instead woven into the fabric of the stories. ImageOut continues to offer programs like the donation-enabled ImageOutreach, which provides senior discounts, sign-language interpreting, and other services to make the festival accessible to everyone. And remember to hit up Visual Studies Workshop Gallery (31 Prince St.) for “Twenty20,” the ImageArt exhibition on display through October 20. But first, keep reading for a snapshot of the 2012 festival, then get further information, along with ticket availability and party details, at imageout.org or by calling the festival office at 271-2640. Happy 20th, ImageOut! Honestly, you don’t look a day over 16... Hollywood isn’t exactly clamoring to cast women of a certain age in meaty lead roles, so give thanks for Thom Fitzgerald’s affecting drama “Cloudburst,” which pairs the Oscar-winning duo of Olympia Dukakis (1987’s “Moonstruck”) and Brenda Fricker (1989’s “My Left Foot”) as a longtime Maine couple dealing with the realities and red tape attendant to growing old. Dukakis’ blisteringly foul-mouthed Stella springs into action when Fricker’s sweet, patient Dot is railroaded into assisted living by her condescending granddaughter, setting into motion a road-trip movie with the ultimate goal of getting legally married in nearby Nova Scotia. A fully realized union between two elderly lesbians isn’t something often depicted on screen, but the Dukakis-Fricker combo nails it with the playful, testy chemistry of a couple who has made it work for three decades despite their inherent differences. Hitchhiker Ryan Doucette is mostly unnecessary, but as our outsider surrogate he provides an organic way to fill in the background details. And while Stella’s abrasiveness often verges on the cartoony, not once do we doubt her risk-it-all devotion to the woman she loves. (Fri, Oct 5, 7 p.m., Little Theatre) 12 City OCTOBER 3-9, 2012

Berlin has never looked so dazzlingly candy-colored as it does in “Men To Kiss,” a frothy romantic comedy about opposites who attract and the vampy hag who tries to come between them. Ernst (co-scripter Frank Christian Marx) is a buttoned-down banker who moves to Berlin and falls for the fabulously free-spirited Tobi (Udo Lutz), whose friends warmly welcome him into their tight-knit circle. Then Ernst’s old school chum Uta (Alexandra Starnitzky) shows up, her wicked sense of style telegraphing a whole heap of trouble. Naturally, Ernst remains oblivious to Uta’s machinations as she tries to intimidate Tobi into staying away from Ernst, though Tobi’s pals, along with “Mother,” rally around him despite their fear of the terrifying Uta. Silly and surreal as it builds, of course, to the rom-com’s traditional third-act mad dash — albeit somewhat delayed thanks to the laid-back employees at the flower shop — “Men To Kiss” is a joyful romp with a big, bright heart. (Sat, Oct 6, 1:30 p.m., Little Theatre) “Music was the thing that made my life palatable,” says acclaimed jazz musician Jennifer Leitham as she recounts the tribulations of growing up in what felt like the wrong body. Music was also the thing

that brought success to her original incarnation as John Leitham, an in-demand bassist who played with the likes of Mel Torme and Doc Severinsen. And music was the thing that John Leitham was afraid of losing if he were to undergo gender reassignment, but after his marriage ended, it was time for a change. In Andrea Meyerson’s inspiring documentary “I Stand Corrected,” the charmingly self-effacing Jennifer Leitham, a born raconteur, takes us through her life both before and after the surgery, a decision she made knowing full well it might harm her career in the macho world of jazz. This makes it tough not to get choked up on Leitham’s behalf upon hearing Severinsen’s reassuring words to her: “I hired you as a bass player, not as a man or a woman.” Or, as one beat-keeping colleague says, “She had it as John, she’s got it as Jennifer.” (Sat, Oct 6, 2 p.m., Dryden Theatre) While I don’t know if Comparative Sauna Cultures really is a degree program in

Finland, it’s not like Mikael Buch’s “Let My People Go!” is nonfiction filmmaking anyway; this whimsical and slapsticky comedy tells the tale of a young Frenchman (Nicolas Maury) who gains a suitcase stuffed with Euros but loses his cute Finnish boyfriend. So it’s back to Paris, where the

melancholy Ruben (Nicolas Maury) licks his wounds and tries really hard to tune out the noise of his dysfunctional Jewish family, to no avail. His dad’s having an affair, his sister’s married to a Gentile buffoon, his brother seems to have a rage

problem, and his meddling mom would prefer Ruben meet a nice Jewish boy... and not the older-lawyer hookup who is now obsessed with Ruben. Ultimately, it’s all pretty forgettable, but it’s also a lot of fun, featuring a cavalcade of recognizable European character actors like Almodóvar regular Carmen Maura. (Sat, Oct 6, 7 p.m., Little Theatre) Mia (Ruth Vega Fernandez) is with her fiancé, Tim (Joakim Nätterqvist), at her father’s engagement party, and the insecure look that plays upon her face as Tim checks

out Frida (Liv Mjönes), her beautiful soonto-be stepsister, seems unambiguous. It’s not until we witness the lingering glances between them — and by “them,” I mean Mia and Frida, lest you forget this is ImageOut — that we question exactly what we saw. Alexandra-Therese Keining’s elegantly rendered “Kiss Me” unfolds as the closeted Mia and the confident, out — but not necessarily unattached — Frida navigate their inconvenient attraction, with all its romantic and familial fallout. The cuckolded parties could stand to have been written with a little more dimension, and the needlessly crowd-pleasing ending threatens to derail the honesty leading up to it. But the immersive imagery is as sexy and seductive as its two subjects. (Sat, Oct 6, 9:15 p.m., Dryden Theatre)

Belgian writer-director David Lambert offers up an attention-grabbing debut with “Beyond The Walls,” a splendidly acted drama that chronicles the shifting balance of power in an intense relationship. Boyish Paulo (Matila Malliarakis) is partying with his girlfriend when he locks eyes with handsome Albanian bartender Ilir (Guillaume Gouix), and once his lady gets tired of Paulo’s indecision, the needy Paulo weasels his way into Ilir’s home and bed, despite Ilir’s protests. The two musicians make it work, but when Ilir gets into legal trouble, Paulo is set adrift. Lambert is unafraid to write his characters with genuine, messy flaws; even when we’re not especially down with someone’s behavior, the honesty found therein prevents us from detaching from them. So many details ring true — cohabiting out of convenience rather than love, drifting to a former flame in times of trouble — and both Malliarakis and Gouix do a smashing job of portraying the organic evolutions of their respective characters. And it may be unprecedented in the history of cinema that someone would pull out an inhaler without his asthma becoming a plot point. (Sun, Oct 7, 3:30 p.m., Little Theatre) An infinitely moving story of unconditional devotion and amazing bravery, “Die Standing Up” takes its time in revealing its purpose.

introduced to the similarly afflicted Irina Layevska and her caring wife, Nélida Reyes. We’re not spoon-fed the connection, instead coming by the surprising truth through little clues. The first feature from Mexican journalist Jacaranda Correa takes us into the lives of Layevska and Reyes, witnessing tender moments as Reyes feeds Layevska or massages her head. Despite the occasional (and understandable) breakdown from Layevska, both women appear to be tireless in their crusades for social justice and equal rights, including the right to love and be loved. (Sun, Oct 7, 3:30 p.m., Dryden Theatre)

Adrian (scene-stealer Jimmy Heck) is in the throes of a sex addiction. Eldest son Michael (Eddie Kaye Thomas, “American Pie”) just married a crabby young woman (Thora Birch) who may be pregnant with another man’s baby. So it’s really no wonder that middle son Charlie (the oddly appealing Tobias Segal) has sworn off sex, but when he meets the bookishly attractive George (Michael Urie, “Ugly Betty”), Charlie’s rubberband aversion therapy turns his wrist bright-red. Ash Christian’s “Petunia” is another in a long, storied line of films that

attempt to mine comedy out of madcap familial strife, and it’s mostly successful whenever the anxious Charlie appears on screen, either as sounding board for his screwed-up kin or as one-half (er, onethird) of an unconventional relationship. Unfortunately, the script does the women zero favors, portraying them as shrill and chilly banshees with an appetite for emasculation. (Sun, Oct 7, 6 p.m., Little Theatre) It really is a small world: housewife Axun (the adorably wrinkly Itziar Aizpuru) is sitting at the hospital

The Petunia clan has a strange association with sex. The pushy mom (Christine Lahti) can’t get her distant husband (David Rasche) to notice her. Youngest son

with her comatose ex-son-in-law when she realizes that the vivacious woman visiting the man in the next bed is Maite (the striking Mariasun Pagoaga), a childhood friend she hasn’t seen in 50 years. Cocreated by filmmakers Jon Garaño and José María Goenaga, “For 80 Days” observes as the women rekindle their friendship, the romantic spark that they shared way back when in each of their minds. Axun’s gruff husband is none too pleased with his wife’s frequent hospital visits as he sits alone at the table, scowling over his notyet-materialized dinner. Let him wait: “I like who I am when I’m with you,” Axun tells the out Maite, until the naïve Axun learns the truth about Maite’s sexual preference. This lovely, quiet drama incorporates bursts of genuine humor and addresses the eternal conundrum of being torn between the rush of the new and the comfort of the old.

autobiographical “Keep The Lights On” opens in 1998 as documentarian Erik (Thure Lindhardt) hooks up with Paul (Zachary Boothe, recently seen in Todd Solondz’s “Dark Horse”), a lawyer he met on a chat line. And despite the bisexual Paul’s advice that

Erik not get his hopes up, the two embark on a loving affair, weathering life’s little roadblocks together until Paul’s growing dependency on crack threatens their hard-won happiness. Sachs does an obviously knowledgeable job of portraying New York City as a place where people actually work and play, and even the peripheral characters (watch for Julianne Nicholson from “Boardwalk Empire” and Souleymane Sy Savane, “Goodbye Solo”) seem lived in. And as good as Booth is at conveying Paul’s desperation, this is Lindhardt’s show. The Danish actor delivers a subtle but unmistakably powerhouse performance as the codependent Erik, who doesn’t want to face the fact that it’s impossible

to save another human being without his consent. (Wed, Oct 10, 9 p.m., Little Theatre) Tough love backfires when Assaf ’s parents throw him out of the house in the hopes that being gay and a cross-dresser will be cured after a couple nights of couch-surfing. Flash-forward four years: Assaf ’s father is terminally ill, so Assaf ’s mother hires a private investigator to find her estranged son. The PI learns that Assaf is now Anna (the gorgeous Hen Yanni), who will pretend to be a private nurse in order to spend a few last moments with her father. Director Doron Eran’s surprisingly moving Israeli drama “Melting Away” essentially glues viewers with the promise of conflict once Anna’s identity is revealed to her family, but the journey there is often a little too sudsy, with a generically irritating after-schoolspecial score. Looking deeper, however, you’ll find a heartfelt tale of acceptance and rebirth, as Anna’s trajectory is paralleled by that of her closeted friend Shimi, whose fear at being rejected by his beloved mother results in a remarkably cathartic scene. (Thu, Oct 11, 6:30 p.m., Little Theatre) If you’ve ever wondered what happened to the Oscar-nominated little kid from “The Sixth Sense,” check out Haley Joel Osment as a pierced-lip-havin’, Daisy-Dukes-wearin’ gay man in writerdirector Coley Sohn’s “Sassy Pants.” But this harmless coming-of-age comedy actually revolves around Bethany (Ashley Rickards), a home-schooled young woman whose control-freak mom (good sport Anna Gunn, “Breaking Bad”) refuses to acknowledge that it might be time to loosen her grip. Osment plays the boyfriend of Bethany’s floundering father (the underrated Diedrich Bader, “The Drew Carey Show”), the man to whom aspiring fashion designer Bethany runs when she finally gets out from under the thumb of her smothery mother. Cue miscommunications, misunderstandings, and lessons learned, and enjoy a really excellent cast doing the best they can with one-dimensional characters telling a clichéd but well-meaning story.

Tempo tantrum [ review ] by frank de blase

I believe in almighty — the almighty loud, that is. I’ll get behind it, or rather in front of it, if it’s paired up with good. That’s what I got Thursday night following an incredible and incredibly funny set from Anglo hippity-hoppers Garden Fresh. These guys are the perfect blend of brainiac and maniac. But back to loud. Buffalo power trio Patrons of Sweet’s line check was a bit shrill, yet during its roughly hour-long set at Tala Vera the blend was appropriate and served the songs well. This is a very good band in the line of proto-punk like Fugazi and any number of bands you’d find in every teenager’s collection (back when I was a teenager, anyway, in the 1900’s). That’s not to say it’s dated, it’s just that the music moves within beloved parameters while still managing to forge ahead. I can’t wait to see this band again. Headliners Abandoned Buildings Club produced a wall of sound and thunder thanks to two — count ’em — two drummers. This didn’t muddy the focus a bit, but as you can imagine it added

to the drive of the bass and guitar, along with vocals with heaps of vintage-cool slap back. I call for more slap back, please. Caught Barrel Harbor’s set as part of a five-band bill at Montage Music Hall Saturday night. It was loud, mid-tempo hardcore that left room for spots of acceleration that the band could have taken better advantage of. Still and all, the band’s low and loud brutality was pretty cool. I haven’t written about Buddhahood in a while, and in fact I’ve never written about the version of the local band that I saw later that night. What an incredible show. Still in the throes of assorted lineups, this version rocked steady, rocked hard, and rocked out in not so much a hippy jam but a polyrhythmic brasstacular rock ’n’ roll tempo tantrum.

Short answer: Moon Zombies is a rock band with disco undertones and humor. What’s the long answer?

cocoabeanshoppe.com

Cocoa Bean Shoppe • 203-1618 20 South Main St • Village of Pittsford

The basics of the music are any style, every style. Everybody says that.

We don’t try to pigeonhole a song or a sound. In bands I’ve been in in the past, we tried to write for that band instead of just writing and letting whatever comes out come out. This band works a little more organically. People bring in stuff they’ve written for other bands or songs they’ve had in their back pockets. But it’s not a catch all.

No. If a song doesn’t work, we drop it. How do you know when it’s working or not?

If we don’t have that involuntary head-bob. If we’re not moving, it’s not right. Local band Moon Zombies infuses disco rhythms into its funk and rock sound. PHOTO PROVIDED

They’re not cool Moon Zombies Part of the Raise The Roof Benefit Sunday, October 7 Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. 3 p.m. | $10-$20 | waterstreetmusic.com Moonzombiesband.com [ INTERVIEW ] By Frank De Blase

The difference between disco and funk is about as broad as the difference between platform heels and Jesus sandals. Disco is a more strident sound, with its tight rhythms, and it can be used to spice up the funky, or to lighten up rock’s requisite snarl. Where am I going with this? To the land of the Moon Zombies, a hard-rocking, finger-popping, showstopping Rochester band with just a hint of wisenheimer that harnesses as much irony as it does humor. And we’re not just talking lyrics here; the music’s sharp dynamics, and plug-ins — like disco — make this a band to listen for, dance to, and laugh with. 18 City OCTOBER 3-9, 2012

Formed in February of last year, the band includes DJ Late Payment (bass), Majic Wand (guitar/vocals), Danny O’Wallop (drums), AdROC (keys), and The Letter J (guitar). They’re all stellar musicians that, on stage, collectively look like a popcorn popper gone haywire, what with the jumping about and multimedia projections. The EP “Deliciousness” will soon be joined by a full-length album that the band is currently recording in its basement rehearsal space. Majic Wand stopped by to talk about playfulness, head-bobbing, and being cool. An edited transcript of the conversation follows. CITY: How about some background? Majic Wand: Moon Zombies is a band that

came…not from the failure, but from the waning of a few bands. Our bass player, DJ Late Payment, put the band together. He’d been writing for this project for some time, just for fun. When he got you guys together, what did he tell you he wanted?

He didn’t put it in words, actually. He put it in song form. He’d been writing on

Obviously you work hard at it, and it’s technically tight. Yet your music is lighthearted and playful.

That’s exactly what it is. We take it seriously, but don’t take ourselves too seriously. The reason we have a tightness to our sound, and sound the way we do, is because we’re having fun with it. With your multimedia visuals and the dynamic complexity of your arrangements, are you tempted to dig in and just play?

No. We are the complete opposite of that. As you embark on recording the follow up to “Deliciousness,” what are you going to do different?

We will probably record live. Last time we didn’t and it was missing just a little piece of energy. What is one misperception you’d like to clear up?

That we’re an indie band. There’s that vibe that indie bands put out: “We’re cooler than you.” That’s the misperception, that we’re cool. We’re not cool.

JAZZ | Tom Harrell Quartet

From the late 1960’s through the mid-1970’s trumpet and flugelhorn player extraordinaire Tom Harrell made his name in the bands of Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, and Horace Silver. Over the next decade he enhanced his reputation with Lee Konitz, George Russell, Phil Woods, and others. From the mid1980’s on Harrell has recorded more than two dozen albums as a leader. His latest, “Number Five,” finds him as fresh and inventive as ever. Harrell, who has wowed crowds at two Rochester International Jazz Festivals, will bring a stellar band to his Exodus To Jazz appearance: tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, drummer Adam Cruz, and bassist Ugonna Okegwo.

ELECTRO-POP | KOPPS

�

On its debut EP, local electro-pop duo KOPPS enthusiastically tangles itself in a theme, and thrusts forward repeatedly to establish it thoroughly. Avoiding any confusion of its aim on the EP, titled “Fuck Jams,” the outfit has crafted six songs regarding, resembling, and investigating sex. Whether it’s the song titles and subject matter, the singer’s throaty wails, or a sax solo, the accompanying lascivious cover image, or the download card packaged as a condom, it’s difficult to avoid the sexy with this one. Revel in the experience on the stage at Bug Jar, with Joywave, The Wallpaper, and The Branch Davidians join in the ecstasy.

Sheyesteh Irani, who you may remember from Jafar Panahi’s political-allegory-assoccer-flick “Offside,” delivers a strong, nuanced performance as the transgendered Eddie, who forms an unlikely bond with Rana (Ghazal Shakeri), a wife and mother whose unusual family circumstances have put her behind the wheel of a cab. Eddie offers Rana an

irresistible amount of cash to take him away from Tehran and his iron-fisted father, and since Eddie is still technically a woman named Adineh, being alone with him in a cab is not against the fundamentalist rules. 22 City OCTOBER 3-9, 2012

The debut feature from director Negar Azarbeyjani, “Facing Mirrors” develops after Rana freaks out upon learning that Eddie is in the midst of switching genders, Rana’s confusion temporarily overriding her humanity. The first Iranian film featuring a transgendered protagonist has a lot of points to make and can get a little preachy at times, and though there’s never much doubt how things will play out, this minimalist exercise in tolerance builds to a powerful denouement. (Sat, Oct 13, 4:30 p.m., Dryden Theatre) Imageout 2012 closes on a sky-high note with writer-director Jonathan Lisecki’s first feature, “Gayby,” a screwball comedy that puts all the other singlewoman-wantsgay-best-friendto-father-her-baby movies to shame. Jenn Harris and Matthew Wilkas star as, well, Jenn and Matt, two college friends now in their 30s and living in NYC. Jenn’s ticking biological clock sets the busy plot into motion, which finds Jenn and Matt trying to achieve pregnancy “the oldfashioned way.” Then Jenn and Matt begin living under the same roof while Jenn’s apartment gets painted. Also, they’re both still dating their respective preferences. “Gayby,” which began life as a 2010 short film, often seems like an elaborate excuse to cram whipsmart lines into the mouths of people who know how to deliver them, and that’s really all anyone could wish for. Harris (a deft physical comedian, by the way) and Wilkas have an entrenched platonic chemistry that sells the whole conceit, and they’re surrounded by a funny, gifted supporting cast, including recognizable actors like Alycia Delmore (“Humpday”), Adam Driver (HBO’s “Girls”), and the indie film requirement Alex Karpovsky. The standout is actually Lisecki himself, who nearly walks off with the entire film as Matt’s howlingly acerbic friend Nelson, who decides to test the bear waters after depression caused him to gain a few pounds and grow a beard.

CLASSICAL | Pegasus Early Music: “Apolle e Dafne”

George Frideric Handel composed “Apollo e Dafne” in 1709-1710, between Venice and England. It was a time when the first colonists were reaching what would become the Carolinas, when the epic Battle at Malplaquet raged in France, and when Czar Peter the Great ruled the day in Russia. So imagine, young Handel (1685-1759) lifting his quill to compose an opera about the force of Cupid’s arrow and the weakness of men at the sight of a beautiful woman. Alas, the storyline from Greek mythology does not stay so simple, does it? Apollo, rebuffed by Daphne, tries to pursue her by force, and she escapes his clutches by turning herself into a tree. Pegasus Early Music will recreate Handel’s work with singers and period instruments. Pegasus Early Music: “Apollo & Dafne” takes place Sunday, October 7, 4 p.m. at Downtown United Presbyterian Church, 121 N. Fitzhugh St. $10-$25. 703-3990, pegasusearlymusic.org. — BY PALOMA A.

JAM/ELECTRONIC | Conspirator

Conspirator is the edgy electro-rock outfit formed by Aron Magner and Marc Brownstein (the keyboardist and bass player from jam-band giants The Disco Biscuits), as well as New York producer DJ Omen. The band has experienced several permutations since its inception in 2004, but since the recent addition of guitarist Chris Michetti and drummers Darren Shearer, from the New Deal, and Mike Greenfield, from Lotus, the group has garnered serious respect for its expansive sound. Fans and critics no longer see the group as a mere extension of the Bisco movement. Conspirator defies distinct genre classification as it takes cues from all over the electronic musical spectrum, including dub-step, house, and drum and bass.

An original manuscript of Debussy’s “La Mer” will be on display at the Sibley Music Library through October as part of Eastman School of Music’s “The Prismatic Debussy” festival. PHOTO PROVIDED

The many colors of Debussy “The Prismatic Debussy” Through October 27 Eastman School of Music 274-1100, esm.rochester.edu/debussy [ PREVIEW ] BY PALOMA CAPANNA

Fans of the works of Claude Debussy (18621918) should be sure to invite themselves to the “Prismatic Debussy” Festival, a month-long series of concerts, lectures, and displays taking place at the Eastman School of Music, held to celebrate the composer’s 150th birthday. Highlights include premieres of recently discovered Debussy songs, new compositions inspired by Debussy’s works, and the display of original manuscripts. Each concert will feature a different aspect of Debussy and his works, with concert titles like “Extravagant Debussy,” “Inspirational Debussy,” and “Intimate Debussy.” The festival also gives ESM an opportunity to show off one of its prized archival possessions. At the Sibley Music Library, Special Collections Librarian David Peter Coppen has put on display an original manuscript of Debussy’s “La Mer” and an autographed manuscript of “Minstrels.” 24 City october 3-9, 2012

“La Mer, trois esquisses symphoniques pour orchestre” (“The Sea, three symphonic sketches for orchestra”) was composed by Debussy between 1903 and 1905. The manuscript was acquired by original Eastman School of Music head librarian Barbara Duncan, who had been recruited from the Boston Public Library and was charged by George Eastman and Hiram Sibley with building a world-class research collection. Duncan’s records “indicate that this was an important document related to the genesis of an important orchestral piece,” says Coppen. “Debussy had only been dead a decade, but ‘La Mer’ was receiving great reviews on both sides of the Atlantic, and Miss Duncan recognized it as an item that would only increase in value.” According to Coppen, much of the Sibley Music Library’s early acquisitions were made at auction, as Duncan traveled between Rochester and London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin while most of Europe was recovering from World War I. This manuscript was purchased at auction in 1929 from the estate of Debussy. Coppen points out that he is not a professional appraiser, but says, “Naturally, as a librarian, I do keep an eye on dealers’ catalogues and all of us working in this

profession have an idea what distinguished manuscripts are going for.” Coppen says that the Sibley Music Library manuscript of “La Mer” is an “entire, intact manuscript in such pristine physical condition, by a nowacknowledged master composer, of a top 100 orchestral works of any decade.” He adds, “My confident assertion is it would easily go for seven figures.” Coppen says that for those who make the pilgrimage, ESM’s manuscript of “La Mer” will offer a rare insight into the “active creative progress” of Debussy. “It is beautiful visually and esthetically,” says Coppen. “One can discern the complete musical thread from start to finish.” “The basic rendering of music is black ink on the paper, but then after the musical notation with black ink, [Debussy] then goes to work in several layers in colored pencil and, in some cases, red ink,” says Coppen. “He does many, many elaborations, annotations, and markings.” This particular version of the manuscript of “La Mer” is believed to be the last version prior to Debussy setting forth the complete orchestral score; it is a “short score,” flowing across four staff gatherings. Debussy’s original, full orchestral scores are housed at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, and Coppen adds that the libraries have exchanged copies of the scores on microfilm to compare the versions and support scholarly advances. Whether you’re interested in scholarly

pursuits or simply want to hear good music, among the many concert choices the festival also offers an entire day — on Saturday, October 27 — of scholarly papers, premieres of Debussy songs, and master classes linked to the Royal College of Music in London. Eastman musicology professor Ralph Locke, like Coppen, cannot contain his enthusiasm for Debussy and, specifically, for Debussy’s songs. “The songs are not nearly as well known as the piano music,” says Locke. “I think the reason is that they are so subtle that you have to absorb the poem to really get into the beauty and magic of the music. In that sense, they are challenging. They are a multimedia experience of music and somewhat elliptical poetry.” The day will be divided into two parts. The morning session will include three scholarly papers about the “new” songs recently made available to the public, interspersed with performances of the songs. The afternoon will include one paper and then a performance of other songs by Debussy, performed by ESM students and, via Internet2, singers at the Royal College of Music. For each of the performances,

the Debussy scholars will comment on the songs before and after they are sung, in the style of a master class. Locke describes Debussy as having a “great sensitivity to the sound of language.” He says that Debussy set to music some of the greatest poets, from Baudelaire to Verlaine to Mallarme, and he often set contemporary poets to music before other people did. The very notion that music by Debussy continues to be “discovered” is a fascinating one to Locke. “It makes the process of writing music history very exciting, because new sources are being located all the time and we have to revise our sense of the composer’s development, and some of our most comfortable generalizations get challenged. That’s good to keep us honest.” The six songs that will be receiving premieres have been recently shared from private collections. One of the songs in private possession was examined by ESM professor Mary Rolf, who spearheaded this festival, and who convinced the private collector to allow her access to the score. Unlike the Debussy works at the Sibley Music Library, which are catalogued and made freely available to scholars, musicians, and music students alike, the notion of the private collector seems contrary to the idea of composers composing for the public. Locke takes a positive view, however, saying, “We need to be immensely grateful to the private collectors. Often they have saved materials from inadvertent destruction, being lost or thrown out, or they have recognized the potential value of something that was found in a used bookstall and held on to it. In general, they eventually understand the value of what’s in the manuscript and they’re happy to make it available to performers and the scholarly community.” Another interesting selection is the

“Inspirational Debussy” concert event on Wednesday, October 17, for which Musica Nova, conducted by Brad Lubman, will perform new works by members of the ESM Composition Department inspired by Debussy’s prelude “Des pas sur la neige” (“Footsteps in the Snow”). ESM composition professor David Liptak was one of the composers invited by Lubman to listen to the Debussy prelude to see whether it would inspire an original work. Liptak’s work, “Footsteps,” is an ensemble piece for 12 instruments: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, percussion, piano, two violins, viola, cello, and bass. When Liptak imagines Debussy’s musical sensibilities had he lived in the present, 150 years after his birth, Liptak imagines a

Art Exhibits

Debussy “concerned with color, a sense of suspended harmony — meaning harmony which does not have a quick motion — and figurative patterns.” You could argue that Liptak and Locke are coming at Debussy from the two end points: Liptak pulling Debussy into the future, Locke considering Debussy in his day. Yet, in spite of all of these scholarly pursuits at Eastman relative to Debussy, Locke best expresses what it is that has enchanted audiences in Debussy’s music. “There seems to be a moment-tomoment freedom, an unpredictability,” says Locke. “Debussy wrote some of the least academic music ever composed.”

SPECIAL EVENT | Love Parade

What’s colorful, joyful, musical, has dozens and dozens of beautiful, beating hearts, and lives by the lakeside? The free annual Lake Ontario Love Parade, to be held this year on Sunday, October 7, at 1 p.m. at the Charlotte Pier. Each love parade is uniquely co-created by participants, say the organizers, who honor loved ones, secret crushes, dear ones who have passed on, or people whose forgiveness they would ask, with banners, messages on released balloons, chalk messages and drawings on the pier, musical tributes, and costumes. The goal of the parade is to remind Rochesterians at large of the importance of love, “while inspiring them to use public space to create beauty and community in new ways,” per the provided statement. Organizers hope that the parade will become a new holiday for the city, in tribute to our beautiful Great Lake, and as a means of physical and emotional exercise. Get creative with your costume, bring your instrument of choice, or make a loving tribute and join others in celebrating the heart.

COMEDY | Wanda Sykes

When I see Wanda Sykes, I’m reminded that appearances can be deceiving. Although this woman is petite, she is a ball of fire when she launches into her stand-up comedy act. On Friday, October 5, at 8 p.m. at Auditorium Theatre you can see this talented comedian in action. Careful not to get burned! Over the course of her career, Sykes has been dubbed one of the funniest stand-up comics by her peers, and ranked as one of Entertainment Weekly’s 25 Funniest People in America. You may know her from “Chris Rock Show,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” or “Evan Almighty.” Her diverse experiences will certainly provide some interesting material for her performance in Rochester. The Auditorium Theatre is located at 885 E. Main St. Tickets cost $29-$69 (without fees) and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

Theater found that the pieces that relied more on comedy or musical theater worked best (the bit for George H.W. Bush, which features droning lyrics over electropop and a human disco ball, is just priceless). Less successful are virtually all of the silent/mimed plays, many of which are inscrutable if you know nothing about the presidents they concern. For instance, the piece on James Garfield left me utterly baffled, and tells the audience absolutely nothing about the man except that he was religious, and he was shot. Surely there’s more to him than that.

I am a bad American. This is true for many reasons, but for the purpose of this review we’ll focus on the fact that I am woefully ignorant about our country’s presidential history. I got a 90-something on my American history Regents exam, but I’ll be damned if I can remember any of our former commanders-in-chief beyond the big ones (you know, the guys with their faces on money or engraved on mountains) or the ones who have been in office since I’ve been alive (that would be Carter to the present). It’s shameful, truly. So I was excited when Geva first announced that it would be doing “44 Plays for 44 Presidents” as part of its offerings for the Rochester Fringe Festival. Not only did it sound entertaining, but I hoped that I would learn something about the men who have guided this country as well. The show — a Geva Theatre Conservatory production, directed by Sean Daniels — succeeds on both fronts. It does entertain, throwing at the audience a non-stop series of short plays (generally

two minutes or less) that range from dramatic reenactments to comedy skits, musical theater to mime. Some incorporate audience participation, many feature actual quotes by or about the presidents they regard, and one even includes a thrilling double-dutch jump-rope sequence. Some of these pieces work better than others — some just downright don’t work at all — but I found that I did learn at least a little bit about the 40-some presidents in our nation’s history. In some cases, I was amazed just to know they existed; I had totally forgotten about James K. Polk. While in others, I found my previous vague perceptions completely altered. (I always thought of William Henry Harrison — who died after 32 days in office — as a joke, but it turns out that he was apparently a ruthless SOB.) The show is a brilliant choice for an election

year, and in the spirit of bipartisanship (yeah, right), I found that it came down pretty evenly on both liberals and conservatives. For instance, Richard Nixon of all people gets a fairly celebratory segment focusing on all the good he did for this country (like helping to empower the National Endowment for the Arts — who knew?), while Bill Clinton gets pretty much savaged in his section. Five writers are associated with the project, which explains why most of the plays feel so incredibly different from one another, save for a clever repeating trope for both presidents named Johnson. I

that, and to all the rest of the presidents for that matter. If the brief morsels of information (and innuendo) in this show pique your interest, I highly recommend heading over to the play’s page on the Geva Theatre website, where you can download the educational document put together by dramaturg Gustave Rogers. The 100-page PDF delves much more deeply into the lives and political careers of every president, and gives context to some of the choices made by the show’s writers. (Example: the reason Ben Franklin acts as roastmaster in the Thomas Jefferson play is that TJ was reportedly painfully shy — so it makes sense that he wouldn’t take center stage even in a play about him.) The Geva Theatre Conservatory program features young actors who are either in college or just recently out of it. This production featured Danny KincaidKunz, Bre Melino, Brooke Paolotto, Christine M. Rose, Courtney Scheer, Ricky Thomas, and Jonathan Wetherbee, all of whom played myriad characters, everything from actual presidents to “maniacal hunchback No. 2.” Each actor got a chance to shine, and all displayed a wealth of talents that included singing, dancing, drama, and comedy. Depending on what happens in about a month, we may have a 45th president to add to the line-up. Fittingly the show ends with the players leaving it up to the audience to vote on how to end the show: an extended version of the Barack Obama play, or another play about Mitt Romney. The audience on the Sunday matinee I attended was apparently predominately Democratic, so we got to see Obama take it from, “You know, you could all be jumping with me.” But if anyone has seen the Romney version, please post your take in the comments section of this article on City’s website. I’m curious to know more.

EXHIBIT | “A T. Rex Named Sue”

FACEBOOK.COM/CITYNEWSPAPER

Forget ghosts and ghouls. This year, October brings a massive, ancient, monster to Rochester. On Saturday, October 6, the Rochester Museum & Science Center (657 East Ave.) will open “A T. Rex Named Sue,” a new exhibit on the largest, most complete, and best-preserved T. Rex ever unearthed. The beast is so massive that ceiling tiles had to be removed in order to fit the massive cast skeletal structure within the museum. The queen of the lizard kings is named for Sue Hendrickson, who discovered the dinosaur near Faith, South Dakota, in 1990. In addition to the 42-foot-long replica (with a 5-foot skull that rotates and growls), the hands-on, multisensory exhibit includes information on the Mesozoic era and how Sue lived; an apparatus that demonstrates for visitors how the dino could and couldn’t move her forelimbs; a video about how Sue changed over time; and select “Dino Days” programming designed for younger audiences. The exhibit will remain on view through January 6, 2013. Admission to RMSC is $13, $12 for seniors and college students with ID, $11 for ages 3-18, and free for RMSC members and children under 3. For more information, call 271-4320, or visit rmsc.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY Session.” Skip Greer will speak about this production and will be joined by cast members of the play. 4288350. libraryweb.org.

SPECIAL EVENT | River Romance

“Full many fair and famous streams, beneath the sun there be. Yet, more to us than any, seems our own dear Genesee.” So read the first lyrics of “The Genesee,” written by T. T. Swinburne from the University of Rochester class of 1892. Though he wrote those lyrics more than 200 years ago, for many of us living in Rochester their meaning still holds true today. Hence, Rochester River Romance weekend, which will take place this year from Friday, October 5, to Sunday, October 7. Now in its third decade, the festival celebrates the history of our city’s river, and its current role in reviving the economy, with more businesses popping up on it recently, and reconstruction programs that have given the waterway a cleaner façade. Start the weekend off at the opening ceremony on Friday at 2 p.m. at the Blue Cross Arena on Broad Street. The ceremony will feature the ribbon cutting for the new Heritage Trail, a 1.25mile long walking path with 27 historical locations between the Susan B. Anthony House and the Erie Canal Aqueduct Bridge. Other festival highlights include Charlotte Genesee Lighthouse tours, vow renewals on the banks of the Genesee, “haunted” gorge tours, live music, and a Twilight River Romance Dinner Cruise. Locations of activities vary from Maplewood Rose Garden, Charlotte, Ontario Beach Park, Turning Point Park, and other points along the Genesee.

The limousine to nowhere [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Cosmopolis” (R), directed by David Cronenberg Now playing

In movies like “eXistenZ” (how’s that for a title?), “The Fly,” and “Crash,” David Cronenberg has demonstrated an interest in unusual combinations of the biological and the mechanical. In his latest work, “Cosmopolis,” he attempts to explore some more abstract territory, the world of a currency manipulator who handles all his business through a bank of computers in his customized stretch limousine, and occasionally discusses philosophical

matters with a succession of assistants and advisors. Apparently without a tinge of irony, Cronenberg cast Robert Pattinson, one of the most passively robotic actors in contemporary film, in the role of the protagonist, Eric Packer, a more or less living embodiment of that favorite Cronenberg combination. Quite closely based on a novel of the same name by the highly regarded Don DeLillo, the movie shows one day in the life of a young billionaire who unconcernedly loses his fortune by betting against — or is it on? — the yuan, not exactly the stuff of dramatic or exciting cinema. Packer spends the day in his limo, crossing the congested streets of Manhattan, moving glacially through traffic backed up by a presidential visit, a rap singer’s funeral, and anarchist demonstrators swinging dead rats around, protesting against capitalists like him. Enormously long, cork lined (“Prousted” as he calls it), and equipped with all the appropriate modern conveniences, the limo provides

both the plot and almost the entire setting of “Cosmopolis.” Packer receives a series of visits from employees, with whom he converses in the grandest philosophical terms about identity, the systems he operates, the acquisitions he plans, and the meaning of capitalism and money itself; appropriately, one assistant even describes herself as his chief of theory, surely a new position in the world of high finance. Packer also conducts other sorts of business, all of it in a strangely affectless manner, speaking in a low monotone, and maintaining an absolutely blank countenance. While conversing with one of his female assistants, for example, he undergoes a prostate examination, surely a cinematic first (his “asymmetrical” prostate worries him throughout the story); he also has sex with Didi Fancher (Juliette Binoche), who advises him on art purchases, and later with one of his female bodyguards. On a couple of occasions he encounters his wife, Elise (Sarah Gadon), as deadpan and unemotive as he, to discuss whether they have actually ever consummated their marriage, which by that time seems both irrelevant and colossally uninteresting. After Packer commits a couple of acts of gratuitous violence, he and his limo ultimately reach their destination, a journey that amounts to a visit to his past, and the movie eventually reaches its climax in a long, exasperating, and meaningless conversation with a massively disgruntled former employee, Benno Levin (Paul Giamatti).

Future perfect [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“Looper” (R), written and directed by Rian Johnson Now playing

worked for Packer on another currency, the baht, which he claims to have loved — it’s that kind of story — but now seeks revenge against his boss, apparently simply because he exists. Presumably in keeping with the emptiness of the story and the impassivity of the protagonist, just about everyone in this very talky film speaks in an occasionally inaudible monotone, exhibiting virtually no variation in feeling or sensation; even the sex looks perfunctory and unexciting. The cryptic, abstract dialogue, which often depends upon rhetorical questions and puzzling non sequiturs, emphasizes the vacuum of significance or even value at the center of the picture. In fairness to David Cronenberg, “Cosmopolis” owes much of its dreadfulness to its source in Don DeLillo’s novel, an absolutely unconvincing exercise in intellectual sterility and emotional emptiness. The book suggests some of the problems with a substantial amount of contemporary American fiction, much of it the product of academic study and suffocating theory and all those classes in creative writing. It contains no convincing characters, no sense of reality, of felt life or experience, but trades on an essentially genteel fantasy of trendy nihilism, one of the chief products in DeLillo’s stock in trade. A precious, finely sculpted work, dense with abstraction but hollow at its core, the novel, to steal a line from another of my favorite authors in an entirely different context, reminds me of an expensive whore: it displays great technique, but no love.

Longtime readers of this space may remember that in the spring of 2006 a certain movie reviewer went on and on (and on, then on some more) about her love for Rian Johnson’s first film, “Brick,” a near-flawless pulp mystery in which high-school kids jawed like a Hammett gumshoe. This same dame was totally unimpressed with Johnson’s 2008 followup, “The Brothers Bloom,” a preciously quirky adventure about lonely boys and sad dads that seemed like a long, tedious Wes Anderson outtake. Then, upon learning that Johnson’s next movie involved futuristic time travel, our writer friend was just about crushed. Science fiction? Ugh. She’s flummoxed enough by science fact, and to have to dissect what-if scenarios too often results in an automatic fail. So I don’t know if it was the low expectations, or perhaps the weeks of creeping dread, but “Looper” is nothing short of fantastic. Johnson reteams with his “Brick” star Joseph Gordon-

Joseph Gordon-Levitt in “Looper.” PHOTO COURTESY TRISTAR PICTURES

Levitt, lately ubiquitous but here nearly unrecognizable — for reasons that will later become clear — with green contact lenses and prosthetics that give him a vaguely aquiline nose and thinned-out top lip. It’s the year 2044, and GordonLevitt plays a hit man named Joe, whose job it is to off people sent back from 30 years in the future; he waits in a Kansas field, blunderbuss in hand, and blows away the hooded figure that materializes in front of him. Occasionally the future will deliver the gunman’s older self, a killing for which he is paid handsomely. This bittersweet assignment is known as “closing the loop.” Joe has seen what can happen when a looper fails to close his loop (that’s a manic Paul Dano in an ill-fated cameo), so when Old Joe shows up, Joe takes the shot. But, as played by the green-eyed, aquilinenosed, thin-lipped Bruce Willis, Old Joe isn’t quite ready to die, setting into motion an ultra-violent game of cat and mouse (or: cat and middle-aged cat), where Old Joe’s goals go beyond staying alive; he’s also out to prevent the rise to power of a crime lord called the Rainmaker, the one who decides to start furiously closing loops circa 2074. And chasing both of them is Joe’s boss Abe (the ever-reliable Jeff Daniels, Gordon-Levitt’s costar in a nifty flick called “The Lookout”), somehow both pitiless and understanding. And when Emily Blunt enters the movie, it seems at first like one of those Hollywood-mandated romantic interludes that derails the action. Cast against type, Blunt is Sara, the axeswinging single mother sheltering an on-the-lam Joe at her remote farm and trying to care for her resentful young son Cid, played by an astonishing Pierce Gagnon, only about 5 years old when the film was shot. (Quvenzhané Wallis, watch your back.) So while Old

Joe combs the dangerous, scummy city for the Rainmaker, Joe cools his heels (and battles drug withdrawal) at Sara’s retro-looking farm, which seems like it could be out of a Dust Bowl drama but for a few noticeable futuristic touches, much like “Looper” itself: unmistakably neo-noir, right down to world-weary voiceover, despite its sci-fi trappings. A storyteller must keep a lot of flaming bowling pins in the air if he’s gonna throw the plot-taxing conceit of time travel into the mix, and Johnson is mostly successful at either explaining away incongruities or at least distracting you with enough blood-and-guts action so you really don’t care about the holes. Johnson even hedges his bets during the excellent diner scene, in which both Joes have a tense parlay about their unique situation. Not only do we appreciate the yeoman job that Gordon-Levitt is doing trying to channel Willis (even replicating the latter’s cadence and slight Jersey accent), but Johnson basically suggests that we get over it, as Old Joe admits that time travel is “a fuzzy mechanism.” It might be too soon to declare Gordon-Levitt the best of his generation, but he is probably the most versatile. Playing an essentially bad guy and unable to traffic in his typical twinkly charm, Gordon-Levitt remains riveting, matched well by the eternally underrated Willis, who has always proven strong in these substantial character-actor parts. (Speaking of great character actors, watch for Garret Dillahunt — so good “Deadwood” cast him twice — in a small but pivotal role.) I totally can’t wait to see what Johnson does next, and if we’re lucky he’ll bring Gordon-Levitt with him. As for Willis, he revives my favorite action franchise in early 2013, making Valentine’s Day “A Good Day To Die Hard.” Photo courtesy Photofest

MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

Wednesday, Oct. 3, 8 p.m. Anyone who equates “Capraesque” with “corny” or “naively idealistic” may be surprised by the clear-eyed, pessimistic tone of this political comedy about a country-rube-turned-US-senator (James Stewart) who singlehandedly faces down a corrupt political machine. After a pre-release screening in Washington, it was even condemned as being anti-American and pro-Communist. Guided by Capra’s sure hand, Stewart’s performance — particularly his celebrated filibuster scene — made him a major star. (Frank Capra, US 1939, 129 min.)

Thursday, Oct. 4, 8 p.m. Dr. Miles Bennell knows something no one else seems to: humans are rapidly being replaced by extraterrestrial imposters! Fleeing from the takeover and doing everything in his power to stop it, he is pulled into a nightmare of confusion and paranoia. (Don Siegel, US 1956, 80 min.)

High Living on the Hill

1694 Highland Avenue Cobbs Hill is a defining feature of the city of

The real star of the show is at the back of

Rochester. From just about any point in the city, you can make out the distinctive tree covered slopes and radio antennas. The 360 degree views from its crest are easily the best in town. The surrounding area is also host to some of the finest neighborhoods in the city. If you can snag a house in Cobbs Hill, consider yourself lucky. If that house happens to have almost 5,000 square feet of modern living space, you might have just hit the jackpot.

the house. A fully updated kitchen space is a dream that any aspiring home chef would never want to wake up from. Marble counters, breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry are just a few of the incredible features. Adjacent to the kitchen is a massive family room addition over the three-car garage. It boasts a gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and spectacular large windows that create a bright, airy space where one can relax and enjoy city living at its finest.

Nestled into the south slope of the hill, 1694 Highland Avenue towers over this beautiful neighborhood. The restored grey stucco walls, dramatic front entrance, and impeccable landscaping of this 1916 Tudor make an unmistakable statement to passersby. It is truly a one-of-a-kind home, designed with the local topography in mind. Entering the house, the original wood front door, mosaic tile floor and dual coat closets offer a dramatic and impressive welcome. The game room/library at the front of the house is ready to be stocked with books, a pool table, classic arcade games, and grandpa’s favorite stuffed moose head. Don’t worry, it has the stained wood and fireplace to match. Other fantastic living areas include a large dining room, a sitting room with a second fireplace, and a roomy and bright enclosed porch. All feature original leaded glass windows and molding, along with spectacular hardwood floors.

The upstairs features a fully-loaded master suite with master bath and walk-in closet. Four additional bedrooms are well-situated and spacious. In addition to the modern styling and large rooms, this house offers up plenty of storage space, leaving room to grow. Out back, a porch wraps its way around the back and side of the house. It’s a sprawling outdoor area that is ideal for all sorts of gatherings to celebrate the lovely Cobbs Hill nights with friends and family. 1694 Highland Ave. has approximately 4,809 square feet of living space and is listed at $475,000.

Fun [ news of the weird ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD At a conference in August, researchers from North Carolina State University demonstrated their latest technological advance in aiding “first responders” to peacetime and wartime disasters: cockroaches. Outfitting Madagascar hissing cockroaches with electronic backpacks that include antennas, batteries, cameras and microphones, the scientists hacked the bugs’ nervous systems to steer them remotely into the tiniest of openings — a crucial step toward finding survivors of earthquakes or bomb damage in densely built-up and populated areas. Said one researcher, to ABC News, “Somewhere in the middle (of tons of rubble) your kid is crying,” and huge machines are “not very efficient” at finding him.

The Continuing Crisis — Cue the Black Helicopters: A

website that tracks sometimes-obscure federal government purchases disclosed in August that the Social Security Administration had recently requested a price for 174,000 hollow-point bullets and that the National Weather Service had requested a price for 46,000 rounds of ammo for semi-automatic pistols. (The latter was subsequently corrected; it was actually the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s Fisheries Office that needed bullets.) Both agencies told reporters that they have armed officers investigating potential crimes. — Weapons for the 21st Century: Thousands of farmers in the northeastern India state of Assam are growing the world’s hottest chili peppers and selling them to the army to make weapons, reported London’s The Guardian in a July dispatch. One expert said a “few drops” of “bhut jolokia” “could make you sense-

less.” Blasting a container of it into a terrorist hideout, he said, would “make them all drop their guns” after “just one breath.” (Bhut jolokia has also been used traditionally to repel elephant attacks.) — In a tactical risk, Russian gay rights leaders went to court in Moscow in March to demand the right to hold a rally not only this year but, daring the city to oppress them, also a rally every year for the next 100 years. However, the city did not blink. It rejected the demand, and in August, a Moscow city court ruled that the city could be gayrights-rally-free until the year 2112. — Because the words were not those ordinarily used by vandals keying a car’s paint, Newcastle, England, police looked immediately to a better-educated vandal and arrested University of Newcastle professor Stephen Graham, who had been a prominent critic of neighborhood parking rules that allowed outsiders to use the few spaces on his street. Scratched into several outsiders’ luxury cars’ exteriors were words such as “arbitrary” and “really wrong” and “very silly” (as opposed to the usual crude vandal references to anatomy and maternal promiscuity).

Not the Usual Suspects

(1) Arrested in New York City in August on charges that he used a tiny camera in a folded newspaper to crudely peek up female subway riders’ skirts: Dr. Adam Levinson, assistant professor at the prestigious Mount Sinai school of medicine. (2) Arrested in Beverly Hills, Calif., in July and charged in a string of vandalism incidents (shooting metal marbles from a slingshot at windows of dozens of businesses and homes): investment banker Michael Poret, 58, of the Rodeo Drive office of UBS Financial Services.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 40 ]

[ LOVESCOPE ] BY EUGENIA LAST ARIES (March 21-April 19): Unpredictability will hinder your love life. Take time to get to know and nurture a relationship if you want it to go the distance. Love at first sight is possible, but it can end up being a onenight stand if you don’t give love a chance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make a move on someone who has caught your attention. Your sure-footed, confident approach will entice whomever you pursue to take a chance and get to know you better. Promises will be made, and building a bright future as a couple will ensure greater personal stabilization.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your excessive fun-loving approach to love may be daunting for someone looking for a commitment. Choose a partner willing to take a ride on a roller coaster with all sorts of twists and turns — which are sure to be exciting and full of all sorts of melodrama. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Secret activity will lead to suspicion. Relationships will undergo difficulties if jealousy and possessiveness develop. Allow those you love the freedom to come and go. An unexpected change in your status is likely if you expect too much. Pressure will not bring good results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let emotions lead you down the wrong path when it comes to love. Concentrate on having fun and being a good partner. Being responsible, loving and willing to compromise will lead to a commitment that will stabilize your domestic and personal life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your love of life will attract attention. Someone will relate to you mentally, physically, and emotionally if you share your feelings and plans for the future. Don’t be shy — make the first move if it will break the ice and bring you closer to someone who interests you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Consistency will be required if you wish to attract someone with staying power. Show confidence and you will find a partner with as much to offer as you. Love relationships should be based on intellectual stimulation before a physical connection is made. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use your imagination when it comes to finding love. Involvement in unique or unusual hobbies, events or activities will open up opportunities to spend time with someone who can read your thoughts and touch you in a way you’ve never been touched before.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t expect honesty in your personal relationships. Avoid saying anything you don’t mean or relying on what someone tells you with regard to his or her intentions. Sorrow is apparent, leaving you in a vulnerable position. Avoid excess and lies. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can seal a deal when it comes to love if you put responsibilities behind you that have been standing between you and the one you love. End old attachments legally so you can honor a commitment you made to someone you love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your changing attitude and outlook will make it difficult for you to be satisfied by one partner. Find someone who has as many interests as you and is willing to experiment with different lifestyles. Stability may entice you, but excitement will hold your interest. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A passionate approach to life will invite love interests who offer challenge, adventure and a unique lifestyle. What will hold your interest the most will be the ability to share your deepest thoughts with someone who understands your emotional, mental and physical needs.
