Tell @wkdr What comedian makes you laugh out loud.
Letter from the editor It’s been a long time since I actually got nervous for an interview. What a welcome change that was this week. The folks at Lewis Black’s PR agency moved quickly to get me time with one of the most prolific comedians of our age. I’m not one to brag, but I was aware of the self-proclaimed angry Jewish comedian when he was telling jokes about horses and college and the end of the universe (i.e. a Starbucks shop being built across the street from another Starbucks as a way to attract forgetful elderly patients afflicted with some form of dementia). Set to talk to Black at 2 p.m. on Monday afternoon, I started to get nervous – sweaty palms, increased heart rate – exhibiting symptoms that would have kept Ferris Bueller home for at least one day out of nine in a single semester. As I finished prepping questions at 2:01 p.m. – something I also haven’t done in a long time as I prefer interviews to be more conversational than Q&A – my phone rang.
social
“Good afternoon, the Weekender. This is Chris,” I answered. “Chris, this is Lewis Black,” he greeted me. A moment of shock and awe, then back to reality. Seventeen minutes later, the conversation had ended, resulting in the article you’ll find this week about his upcoming appearance in Scranton. For all the times he’s made me laugh, I got a chuckle out of Lewis with a quip about Scranton’s drinking game related to their mention by Vice President Joe Biden during last week’s debate. “If Biden mentioned Scranton, you had to drink,” I said. “But it’s Scranton, so really, you just kept drinking.” “That’s funny,” he said, with a half-laugh, half-cough. That one’s on me, Lewis. It should play well here on Oct. 25. Enjoy that story, and all of the others this week. I know I will for a long time to come.
- Christopher J. Hughes, Weekender Editor

DOUBLE DOWN The F.M. Kirby Center (71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre) announced Friday that blues legends Buddy Guy and Jonny Lang will co-headline the downtown venue on Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, Oct. 19. Guy is a six-time Grammy Award winner and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A pioneer of the Chicago blues sound, he is ranked 30th in Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” Guy is known for his showmanship on stage - playing his guitar with drumsticks or strolling into the audience while playing solos. In addition to six Grammy Awards, Guy has also won the National Medal of Arts and Billboard magazine’s The Century Award. In 2005, Clapton and B.B. King inducted Guy into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This past February he performed at the White House for President Barack Obama, and successfully encouraged the president to sing a few bars of “Sweet Home Chicago.” Lang first started playing guitar at 12 and released his debut album, “Smokin’,” just two years later. He has since released five more studio albums, including
the Grammy-winning “Turn Around” in 2006. Tickets range from $49-$99. SWEET GEORGIA BROWN Hear a familiar whistle around Wilkes-Barre? That could be “Sweet Georgia Brown,” the song of the Harlem Globetrotters, blowing the breeze. The renowned hoops stars will bring their “You Write the Rules” world tour to the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza (255 Highland Park Blvd., WilkesBarre) on Feb. 24 at 3 p.m. Highlighted for its unprecedented level of fan participation, audience members will decide the rules of each game that could affect the final outcome. Two basketballs at once? Double points? Anything goes in this fan-friendly game. Tickets start at $15 and are on sale now. HELP FOR THE HOLIDAYS The Tom Engle Kris Kringle Toy Foundation will kick off its annual toy drive on Oct. 21 from 2 p.m.-2 a.m. at the Getaway Lounge and Entertainment Complex (1477 W. Main St., Plymouth). The foundation, established in memory of the late Ashley Police Chief Thomas R. Engle Sr., a 42-year veteran of the force who anonymously
Harlem Globetrotter Bam Bam Bamiro scores during a 2010 event. The Trotters bring a new fan-dependent tour to Wilkes-Barre this February. (Times Leader file photo / Aimee Dilger)
delivered toys to needy children at Christmas time until his passing six years ago. Attendees of the kick-off drive are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy to help the foundation in its annual mission. Entertainment at the Oct. 21 event includes OZ and other area artists.

news of the weird By Chuck Shepherd Weekender Wire Services
SOUNDS DELICIOUS For September’s Digital Design Weekend at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, artists Michiko Nitta and Michael Burton commissioned soprano Louise Ashcroft to sing, altering pitch and volume while wearing a face mask made of algae. According to the artists, since algae’s growth changes with the amount and quality of carbon dioxide it receives, Ashcroft’s voice, blowing CO2 against the algae, should vary the growth’s “taste” as to bitterness or sweetness. After the performance, the audience sampled the algae at various stages and apparently agreed. The artists said they were demonstrating how biotechnology could transform organisms. DEATH PANELS Habersham Funding of Georgia and its competitors make their money by buying terminally ill clients’ life insurance policies for lump sums, then continuing to pay the policies’ premiums so that they collect as beneficiaries upon death. The companies’ business model therefore depends on those clients dying quickly; a client who outlives expectations turns the investment sour. Thus, according to an August report by the New York Times, the companies run extensive background checks on the illnesses and lifestyles of potential clients and employ sophisticated computer algorithms that predict, better than doctors can, how long a client will live. Supposedly, according to the report, the companies are nonchalant about erroneous predictions. No company, they claim, has an official policy of hoping for early death.
PRICEY POISON Scorpion antivenom made in Mexico sells in Mexico for about $100 a dose, but for a while over the last year, the going rate in the emergency room of the Chandler (Ariz.) Regional Medical Center was $39,652 a dose, charged to Marcie Edmonds, who was stung while opening a box of air-conditioner filters in June. She received two doses by IV and was released after three hours, to later find a co-pay bill of $25,537 awaiting her (with her Humana plan picking up $57,509), according to the Arizona Republic newspaper. The Republic found that Arizona hospitals retailed it for between $7,900 and $12,467 per dose -- except for Chandler. Following the newspaper’s report, Chandler decided to re-price the venom at $8,000 a dose, thus eating a $31,652 “loss.” EVENT IS A FLOP Among the least-important effects of last summer’s drought in the Midwest: Officials overseeing the annual Wisconsin State Cow Chip Throw said there would be fewer high-quality cow patties. Said chairperson Ellen Paulson: “When it’s hot, the cows don’t eat as much. And what was produced, they just dried up too quick.” A few patties had been saved from the 2011 competition, but, she said, “It’s not like you can go out and buy them.” FARMS OF THE FUTURE At least two teams of Swiss researchers are developing tools that can improve farmers’ efficiency and reduce the need for shepherds. The research group Kora has begun outfitting sheep with heart rate monitors that, when predators approach, regis-
ter blood-pressure spikes that are texted to the shepherd, summoning him to the scene. Another inefficiency is cow farmers’ frequent needs to locate and examine cows that might be in heat, but professors at a Bern technical college are testing placing thermometers in cows’ genitals, with text messages alerting the farmer that a specific cow is ready for mating. (Since most insemination is done artificially, farmers can reduce the supply of bull semen they need to keep in inventory.) MARKING TERRITORY Researchers writing in the journal Animal Behaviour in July hypothesized why male pandas have sometimes been seen performing handstands near trees. They are urinating, the scientists observed, and doing handstands streams the urine higher on the tree, presumably signaling their mating superiority. A San Diego Zoo researcher involved in the study noted that an accompanying gland secretion gives off even more “personal” information to other pandas than the urine alone. PUPPY KISSES Spending on health care for pets is rising, of course, as companion animals are given almost equal status as family members. In Australia, veterinarians who provide dental services told Queensland’s Sunday Mail in August that they have even begun to see clients demanding cosmetic dental work -- including orthodontic braces and other mouth work to give dogs “kissable breath” and smiles improved by removing the gap-tooth look.

I WOULDN’T WIPE MY A-- WITH THAT AD!
Jordan and Bryan Silverman’s start-up venture, Star Toilet Paper, distributes rolls to public restrooms in restaurants, stadiums and other locations absolutely free -- because the brothers have sold ads on each sheet. (Company slogan: “Don’t rush. Look before you flush.”) Jordan, with 50 advertisers enlisted so far, told the Detroit Free Press in August that he came up with the idea, of course, while sitting on the can at the University of Michigan library.

Reddit little-noticed social media site
When someone says “Social Media,” what generally comes to mind are Facebook and Twitter – in the news, explosively expanding, highly influential brands. But the sheer size of the Internet means less well-known but very popular sites go unnoticed. A prime example is Reddit. Reddit bills itself as “the front page of the Internet,” and in a way that’s accurate. Reddit users, called Redditors, contribute content by posting links, photos, videos or text about anything to the site. Other users are free to comment on
the posts, “upvote” a post if they like it or “downvote” a post if they don’t. This has the effect of culling out content people aren’t interested in. The front page of Reddit features some of the most popular content on the site, pulled from a variety of different topical pages known as “sub-Reddits.” These include standard categories like “Politics,” “Science,” “Music,” “Movies” and “World News,” and unique ones such as “IAMA,” where people who have had unique jobs or careers (actors, writers and political figures, including President
Barack Obama) answer questions from the community at large. The “IAMA” name comes from the phrase “I Am A,” because posts typically read something like “IAmA Theoretical Particle Physicist, Ask Me Anything.” It’s most commonly referred to as an “Ask Me Anything” thread. There are hundreds of subReddits for just about anything that interests anyone. There are support forums where people can ask questions or get advice on illnesses, automotive repair, or photography, to name a few. Of course, like so many things on the Internet, there’s a

dark side to Reddit. I’ve heard it said that Reddit contains both the best and the worst of the Internet, and it’s true. If you stick to relatively mainstream sections that are well moderated, you’ll be OK, but there are some areas of the site where nearly anything goes. If you decide to pay the site a visit, consider yourself warned. In general, if you’re easily offended, I’d recommend staying away – but if you’ve got a relatively thick skin or a good

BLACK IS BACK
Grammy-winning comedian,‘Daily Show’ personality, and author in Scranton Oct. 25 By Christopher J. Hughes Weekender Editor
L
ewis Black was on familiar ground Monday afternoon. “I’m stuck at ‘The Daily Show,’” he explained. “They’re up there writing it,
and I shoot it tomorrow.” Known to many for the long-running “Back in Black” segment on the satirical news program, the comedian has had his hands full with the start of his “Running on
Empty” tour while one of his original plays, “One Slight Hitch,” continues its run in New Brunswick, N.J. through Oct. 28. Written by Black 30 years ago “so that I could f--king
make a living as a playwright” and polished over the last 10 years, “Hitch” has been staged in three cities in 2012. “If my name wasn’t on it, nobody would know that I wrote it,” he said. “It’s a romantic comedy that’s a farce. It’s a very old-fashioned play. It’s extremely audiencefriendly.”
The play is a far cry from the Black that many know and love – a stand-up who gives a sometimes hard-to-swallow look at what we deem valuable along with the politics of the day, spewing vitriol and vulgarities with incredible precision. Truth is, “Hitch” is probably much closer to the man
Fans need not worry that they’re getting the same topics that made Black angry on the “In God We Rust” tour in Jan. 2011,, such as the estimated value of Facebook. “I go through the health care plan, why Social Security doesn’t work, and why we won’t have alternative energy in my lifetime,” he said. “It’s all different. The Facebook thing, I finally go into a larger context of the history of why we all have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). I keep trying to figure out why we can’t function, and I think that has a big part to do with it. “I would say
that this is the next chapter. They have to start giving those ADD drugs to adults and not to kids. We actually have things
to do,” he continued. “A child still has a possibility of learning how to focus on his own, but we don’t have the time anymore.” At 64, Black shows no signs of slowing down or pulling any punches. “I hope a vacation,” he cracked when quizzed about future plans. “I’m not sure if I’ll work on a book or a play
next... The thing right now is I have about, all told, two and a half hours worth of material. I’m wandering around with the equivalent of two new specials.” That’s good news for fans, but probably not for candidates.” W

himself. “If I was like that all the time, I’d be dead,” he admitted. “I might get through three or four days, and then I’d drop dead from thee sheer exhaustion of yelling and screaming constantly at my age.” But in an election year, ear, there’s still plenty to yell ell and scream about. “It’s as much fun as you can have with stupidity. Really, eally, it’s like playing with your our own feces after a while,” Black lack said with a raspy laugh. Like any good comedian edian known in recent years for his politically-driven wit, he’s watched the presidential al and vice presidential debates tes “as much as I can without feeling that I’ve been stricken with West Nile.” “It’s insulting on massive assive levels to have two minutes nutes for them to say what it is they’re going to do,” he continued. nued. “Two minutes to explain ain extremely complicated d economic, financial, and nd health care policies – You can’t do it in two minutes! utes! “It takes four minutes es to explain why two minutes tes is stupid. You can’t explain how to make a German chocolate cake in two minutes.” Opening the “Running on Empty” tour with several nights ts on Broadway was “exhausting, but it’s been extraordinary.” “I’m doing a longer show than normal (about 110 minutes compared to the 75 that fans can see on the road), but it becomes like an athletic event.” The show is at the Richard Rogers Theater er in New York City, N.Y., through Oct. 20. Black comes back to the Scranton Cultural Center (420 N. Washington Ave., ve., Scranton) on Oct. 25, about 21 months after his last st show here. “It’s a great audience, e, really a terrific audience,” Black lack said of his reasons for returning rning to Scranton so often.

With an authentic who’s who of local punk and hardcore bands set to perform, Grey Zine guitarist and vocalist Evan Evans is excited to be a part of the Oct. 19 Title Fight record release show in Warrior Run featuring six acts. “It’s a really big occasion. Since Redwood (Art Space in Wilkes-Barre) closed, there’s not really any punk venues around here,” Evans said. “People are eager for a show, so it’ll be fun to do it all in one night. “We’re just so excited to play with so many great bands from this area. ‘Two Worlds’ by Tigers Jaw from Scranton is one of my personal favorite albums,” he added. Joining Grey Zine, Tigers Jaw, and Title Fight are Gypsy, featuring Alex Russin, the older brother of Title Fight twins Ned and Ben; Foundation; and The Menzingers. For Grey Zine – 25-yearold Town Hill resident Evans, bassist and vocalist William McHale, and drummer Kyle Smyth – it’s a chance to show how they’ve grown since forming the trio in the fall of 2011. “We don’t hate genres, but we don’t want to tag ourselves as just one thing because everyone that hears it gets a different impression from it,” Evans explained. “It’s really hard to describe.” The three-song “Repent” EP available at greyzine.bandcamp.com, for example, heavily features their ethereal shoegaze and Britpop influences (think The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine, and Oasis), but Evans said the last year has brought more of a power pop punk feeling to the act.

570-825-8880 Grey Zine will play with five other local acts on Friday and is currently booking a February tour with Oakland-based Whirr around the state. The band has developed a new batch of songs destined for the tentatively titled “Hopesfault” seven-inch, driven more by those influences as it continues to establish its sound. Evans said he hopes to release the songs “Hopesfault” and “Bottom Feeder” as early as November. Fans get a little bit of everything from live performances. “A lot of times, people will come to our shows and we’ll play the songs that are online with the other ones. It’s a little bit punk, a bit catchy pop, and a little shoegazey,” he said. Evans has kept ties with Title Fight close, including his recent role as the director for the “Head in the Ceiling Fan” video, the first single off “Floral Green.” “I’ve been friends with the guys in Title Fight for a while. We kind of grew up in the same punk scene in Wilkes-Barre. When I was 16, I was playing in a punk band, Passing Time, and we played this show with them that I believe was their first or second show,” Evans re-
called. “It’s great to see people from this area having success and making it outside the tri-state area.” Grey Zine is currently booking a February tour with Oakland-based Whirr in and around Pennsylvania. Title Fight is scheduled to share dates with that group on the West Coast from Nov. 6-10. For Grey Zine, though, the future is pretty open. “We want to travel really bad,” Evans admitted. “After the February tour, we’re looking to book some dates next spring. Our plan is at least by the spring to go into the studio and record our first full-length album.”

Whenever most people hear the name John Kadlecik, their first thoughts probably involve the band Furthur. While Kadlecik is widely respected as the lead guitarist and co-vocalist for Bob Weir and Phil Lesh’s offshoot band, there are many sides to him. There’s a decade-long stint in Dead tribute act Dark Star Orchestra, and his own project, the John K Band, which will be at the River Street Jazz Cafe this Saturday, Oct. 20. “I’ve had bands playing original music going back to the mid ‘80s,” he said. “Through the 1990s, I had this idea where I wanted to get a project going in the Chicago area to play Grateful Dead music and use the set list as sort of a curriculum for us. The idea was to have the best Deadhead players in Chicago, and it would be a project of love. “It took me most of the ‘90s to get it together, and in 1997, it formed. Dark Star Orchestra just took off, and we all decided to quit our other projects… I never do projects to make money.” After playing in numerous outfits, Kadlecik is pleased with his current band, as it lets him explore all the original music he’s created over the last two and a half decades while still remaining true to the many influences he has picked up. The band’s eagerness to rediscover material and
its onstage energy help make each show an enjoyable time for both Kadlecik and the fans. “I’m just trying to construct a coherent set that flows a certain way,” he said. “I look at it as getting a balanced meal… I don’t just want to slow dance the whole night. I also don’t just want to play Grateful Dead music all night. In fact, I play very little Grateful Dead music. I do draw pretty generously from the Jerry Garcia Band cover repertoire, which is mostly old-school soul and R&B… Those are just great vehicles for people to jam on.” While the Garcia influence is unavoidable when listening to his music, Kadlecik is trying to be himself onstage and isn’t too keen on hearing phrases like “He’s trying to be Jerry,” or “He’s the new Jerry.” “People are going to hear what they want to hear,” he said. “So much of listening is a connect the dots game for the listener. Garcia was a huge influence for me, but people latch onto different things.” Aside from his gig with Furthur and his own band, Kadlecik has sat in with numerous bands over the years, including this past April when he joined NEPA’s favorite Dead tribute band, Jam Stampede, at the Gramercy Ballroom in New York City after a Furthur show at the Beacon Theater. “I’ve played with Tommy (Circosta), Klyph (Black) and
Dave Diamond over the years when they were in the Zen Tricksters and I was in Uncle John’s Band,” he explained. “We actually talked to Tommy about playing guitar in Dark Star Orchestra, but at the time he had just broken his arm and was up to his ears in taking over his father’s business after he passed away. The short of the answer is it was a lot of fun.” And what about Scranton’s own Mike Mizwinski, who Kadlecik shared lead guitar duty with at the Gramercy? “We’re all storytellers. We’re not like competing gymnasts trying to figure out who gets the gold,” he said. “We all have our own unique style. We all try to encourage each others’ storytelling. Mike really gets that. I really enjoyed playing with him.” As far as his show at the Jazz Cafe, Kadlecik promises a night full of the music which has helped him reach the level he’s at today, with a kind gesture towards one of the more popular concert-going groups: the dancers. “It’s going to be a classic kind of American jam,” he said. “It will have a lot of different styles.” W John K Band, Oct. 20, River Street Jazz Cafe (667 N.

ALBUM REVIEWS Presto Ballet a perfect pirouette of prog
Progressive rock can be a tricky nut to crack, given the genre’s history of wild musical mood swings and often tuneless self-indulgence. With prog, there seems to be little middle ground – you either love it or hate it. On “Relic of the Modern World,” Seattle’s Presto Ballet adds a contemporary spin to classic 1970s-themed prog-rock, adding a thick wall of guitars and saccharine-sweetened, melodic vocal harmonies to the labyrinths of blustering organ runs and skewed time signatures. Formed by an unlikely prog
advocate in thrash innovator and Metal Church guitarist/songwriter Kurdt Vanderhoof, Presto Ballet is now five albums deep into their prog revival – on this disc, adding fresh blood in drummer Chris Gorczyca and vocalist Chuck Campbell. The band is cultivating a harder, less avantgarde sound that could re-invigorate the somewhat maligned, dust-covered genre. Never crossing the boundaries into full-blown progressive metal a la Dream Theater or Meshuggah, Presto Ballet’s early Genesis and Yes roots are simply nailed
Miguel “Kaleidoscope Dream” Rating: W W W
Miguel comes into his own with 'Dream' One of the most heartening pop tends of the last year is the emergence of a new wave of falsettowielding soul men, more subtle than slick, who resist the urge to tidy up their unpolished electro arrangements
firmly to a bed of dynamic riffs and pounding drums. “Watching The Radio” is downright catchy, with rhythmic shifts flying by like rays of light. Vanderhoof’s Tony Iommi-inspired single-note chugging and Chuck Campbell’s tasteful vocal soar signals that this isn’t typical by-the-numbers prog noodling. “Broken Toys” is similarly driving with airtight drum fills and a dreamscape of vocal ambiance. The knockout punch, though, is the 19-minute title track where each musician shows off their chops in the most frenzied display of musical artwork this side of “2112.” This album rips preconceptions of what progressive rock should be, colored with shades of everything from arena rock to pop whim. If you’re up for an adventurous education in ensemble musicianship, check out this band.

– and make music all the more effectively human as a result. Going straight to the head of the class that also includes Frank Ocean and the Weeknd is dirty-minded-love man Miguel – last name, Pimentel – who comes into his own on his selfassured second album, “Kaleidoscope Dream.” The mixed-race Southern California songwriter, who has penned tunes for Usher, Asher Roth, and Musiq Soulchild, allows all sorts of elements to course through his music, whether he’s pondering big questions in “Candles in the Sun” or calculating “How Many Drinks” will be required to attain his goal for the evening. “Don’t Look Back” uses the Zombies’ “Time of the Season” as a starting point, and “Do You ...” and “Arch and Point” point to a Prince-ly obsession. As does the spare, strummed “P- Is Mine,” which presents itself as an accidental, off-the-cuff throwaway and allows the singer to expose his jealous heart and confront his gravest fear: “I don’t want to believe anyone is just like me.” No worries, Miguel: On “Kaleidoscope Dream,” there’s never a question that you’re one of a kind.

Lupe Fiasco “Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Part 1” Rating: W W W
Always sharp Fiasco returns Contending with Lupe Fiasco is no easy task. On his last album, “Lasers,” the cerebral rapper played fair-and-balanced by dissing Glenn Beck and Barack Obama while crafting an alternate ending to American slavery
5. Taylor Swift: ’We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ 6. fun.: ’Some Nights’ 7. Neon Trees: ’Everybody Talks’ 8. Alex Clare: ’Too Close’ 9. Flo Ride: ’Whistle’ 10. Ellie Goulding: ’Lights’
with stunning strangeness. Each album before “Lasers” had trouble in mind – lyrical or musical, drifting as Fiasco does into vampy, operatic prog-hop on occasion. That’s Fiasco’s calling card: no single answer, no simple twist. To call his work heady and provocative is an understatement. With zero connection to 2006’s debut, “Food & Liquor” (save for his usual cluster of wise rhymes), Fiasco goes about borrowing from hip-hop’s bible, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth’s “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.),” for his incendiary “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free).” He connects Afghan civil strife with child rape so stirringly on the grippingly rhythmic “Lamborghini Angels” that it’s more of a graduate thesis than a rap attack. On “Audubon Ballroom,” the ghosts of Malcolm X, James Baldwin, and Langston Hughes are vividly alive in the ferocious Fiasco as he cries out: “I rap black history / you can only see my past if you fast / forward.” His music may drift and be wifty, but as a rapper, Lupe Fiasco is sniper-sharp.

wick. Dennebaum was just as excited to be working on the project as Borthwick and Foster were to have him. “It’s just cool. Everything these guys are doing is just cool, and just to be a part of it is an honor,” said Dennebaum. “I think the most important thing about this is that it brings community and commerce together.” Foster said a number of other area businesses have also gotten involved, either by donating food and drinks to the runners or by participating in the sidewalk sale or open house that will be held the day. The Lackawanna Historical Society has also gotten involved, and will be conducting a Places of Worship tour beginning at the Church of Christ (137 S. Main Ave., Scranton) at noon. The outpouring of support is making the Neighborhood Watch optimistic about the future of the event as they hope to make the run a yearly tradition. “Our goal next year is to have it a little bit closer to Halloween and have, perhaps, a parade afterwards and costume competition with it,” said Foster.

West Side Zombie Escape Route 5K: Oct. 20, 9 a.m., Allen Park (corner of Main Avenue and Price Street, Scranton). $25, pre-registration; $30, day of the event. Info: zombieescape route.wordpress.com.
PAGE 27
ALSO ON YOUR AM DIAL: 730 AM
This weekend, West Scranton may look a bit like a classic horror movie, with zombies running down Main Avenue. Passersby shouldn’t worry, however, as these zombies will be hunting for a first-place finish instead of brains. The West Scranton Hyde Park Neighborhood Watch is sponsoring the West Side Zombie Escape Route, a 5K run/walk on Saturday, Oct. 20, in Allen Park (corner of Main Avenue and Price Street, Scranton). Admission if $25 for those who pre-register or $30 on Saturday, and participants can enter as survivors, zombies, or traditional runners. “They can wear costumes other than a zombie if they want to,” said Neighborhood Watch President Karin Foster, who organized the 5K. Foster said the Neighborhood Watch had been looking for another fundraiser, and the idea for the run came out of a brainstorming session. “A group of us were working in the (Hyde Park Community Garden), and we were thinking, what can we do for another fundraiser? It was right after the Dirty Girl (Mud Run) event, and we had some members that did that, and one silly idea after another came out,” she said. “I happened to see examples
of zombie runs on the Internet and I thought, with Halloween coming, it would be a fun alternative to the traditional run. I ran it by Karin and here we are,” said Hyde Park Community Garden Chairman Tom Borthwick. “People are excited. It’s a novelty, and it’s a neighborhood affair. People are all about supporting West Side.” Some in the area are already somewhat familiar with a Zombie 5K, having participated in the one held in Taylor during Infect Scranton in September. While both runs are zombie themed, the West Side Zombie Escape Route is unique in that it is not an obstacle course but rather a traditional run around West Scranton. “The logistics of a regular 5K make more sense for us. On top of that, they have their brand and we have ours,” said Borthwick. And the Neighborhood Watch’s brand seems to be appealing to many in the area. Foster said a number of runners have already registered and many have called to inquire about the race. This early excitement is at least partially due to the work of TwentyFiveEight Productions, who produced a commercial advertising the event after Borthwick and Foster approached Mark Dennebaum, co-owner of TwentyFiveEight Productions. “Mark is a West Sider and a really talented filmmaker. He’s got a beautiful movie studio in town and he loves supporting this area. In zombie parlance, that’s a no-brainer,” said Borth-

movie review By Pete Croatto

Weekender Correspondent
Ben Affleck portrays CIA agent Tony Mendez in his third directorial effort, ’Argo.’
Affleck polishing directing chops with hit flick 'Argo' Well before its release, “Argo” had garnered fabulous word of mouth. I suspect that’s partly because it looks Oscar-worthy. It has the period details down pat and captures the unease of a historically tumultuous time. A voiceover from Jimmy Carter, a man with a Nobel Peace Prize and bottomless goodwill, certainly helps. There’s also the feel-good element. Director Ben Affleck – man, that’s a weird phrase to type – has revived his career after years of making unwatchable flops as a leading man. “Argo,” Affleck’s third directorial effort, is entertaining and well con-
structed. It’s not a great movie. It is, however, a step toward something great. “Argo” examines a sidebar to the 1979-81 hostage crisis at the U.S. embassy in Tehran. Six colleagues escaped the building and found sanctuary in the home of Canada’s ambassador to Iran (Victor Garber). The covert rescue mission was up to CIA agent Tony Mendez (Affleck), who posed as a Canadian producer for a bogus science fiction movie considering filming in Iran. The six embassy employees served as his film crew so that everyone could fly home together. Or at least that was the idea.
In the movie’s version of events, Mendez teams up with a Hollywood-based CIA freelancer, real-life make-up artist John Chambers (John Goodman), and a veteran producer (Alan Arkin) to form a production company, find a suitable script, and promote the project. Everything had to be done quickly because the Iranians were close to discovering that the embassy was short six Americans. “Argo,” the name of the movie that drove this elaborate con, is divided into two parts: a frothy Hollywood satire (i.e., the whole movie industry is built on bullshit) and a taut thriller. Both parts
are fun, but Affleck doesn’t weave the two together. When Mendez heads west, the foreboding diminishes as Arkin and Goodman’s characters focus on selling the greatest lie ever told. When Mendez travels to Iran, Affleck and writer Chris Terrio have to introduce the audience to our hero. We don’t know much about Mendez (the film’s weakest character), other than he’s an estranged dad with a shabby apartment littered with takeout wrappers. The last 40 minutes define “Argo.” We see Mendez in his element. Plans unravel. That chunk is an inspiring, tensionpacked piece of filmmaking that highlights Affleck’s skill as a director: he can move a movie without resorting to explosions or gunplay. And he gets terrific performances from Goodman, Arkin, and Bryan Cranston as Mendez’s agency colleague. Affleck needs to maintain that
momentum for an entire movie – and learn to give his movies finales that don’t resemble commercials for Christmas cards. (“The Town” had the same problem.) I fear people praise Affleck because of his sketchy past as a leading man, like he’s a former juvenile delinquent who passed the bar exam. This kind of turnaround isn’t revolutionary. Michelle Williams went from “Dawson’s Creek” to multiple Oscar nominations. Ron Howard became one of Hollywood’s most accomplished, successful directors after years as a sitcom star. Woody Allen’s fame began in stand-up comedy. Those talents needed time to mature. So does Affleck, who as a director is getting closer to justifying the hype.

Affleck’s work as a director, in the long run, may make up for several years of abysmal work in front of the camera.

novel approach No rest for the weary detective By Kacy Muir
Weekender Correspondent
In “Night Watch” by Linda Fairstein, series protagonist Alexandra Cooper makes her heroic return — this time, a little weary, but none the worse for wear. The novel follows Alexandra, a New York City police officer who spends much of her life advocating for victims of sexual and domestic crimes. But, after bearing witness to some of the most heinous acts of violence time and time again, Alexandra, after some hesitation, leaves the city that never sleeps. She departs for France – a place of romance – to take a break from the horrors observed in her professional life. The only problem is, no matter where she goes trouble always follows. In France, her lover, Luc Rouget, a renowned restaurateur, joins Alexandra. While Luc is tending to the unveiling of his newest restaurant, Alexandra obtains the relaxation she so desperately needs. Unfortunately for her, only two days into her romantic vacation, her days of rest and relaxation come to a halt. The town is buzzing with news of a young woman’s body being found in the village where Alexandra is vacationing. At first, the death is speculated to be the result of suicide or simple accident. However, Alexandra’s instincts tell another story, prompting her to implore further. She soon realizes that her intuition never falters – the woman was murdered. Immediately into her investigation, she discovers something too personal. A particular piece of evidence found on the woman’s body points to Luc. Alexandra’s feelings for Luc begin to grow from passionate to suspicious. Meanwhile, back in New York City, a series of crimes have left Alexandra’s colleagues

“Night Watch” By Linda Fairstein Rating: W W W puzzled. Her department requests that she return home posthaste. The events that shortly unfold, though seemingly unconnected, converge at the end of the novel. While readers can expect a carry-over of certain thematic elements, including Alexandra’s complicated relationships, the conclusion will surprise you. Throughout the story, readers trust Alexandra – an aspect that may have to do with Fairstein’s vast knowledge as a former prosecutor within the sex crimes unit in New York City. Fairstein’s expertise lends itself to the series greatly, not only regarding crime, but also locale. For a series that has lasted more than 15 years, Fairstein is certainly doing many things right. Her attention to detail in the novel is commendable, especially her description of locations. Fairstein has done a great deal of research regarding Alexandra’s haunts throughout New York City, and this in turn, makes the novel come alive. Readers complete the book embracing not only the unforgettable characters, but also the vivid locations.

ENTERTAINMENT REPORT
Ralphie Aversa | Special to the Weekender
Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith performed at iHeart Radio Music Festival on Saturday, Sept., 22, at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. (Photo by Eric Reed/Invision/AP) It seems the Toxic Twins are back and as strong as ever. The coincidence is that the latest issue to drive them apart – Steven Tyler’s involvement on “American Idol� – may have been what brought them back together. “I didn’t have anything to give Steven as a present because I’ve already given him everything that I could “It was think of that I quite the know he likes,� Aeromoment, guitaman.

ment, man. It was beautiful. It kind of took all the bad vibes and the whole business that was going on at the time and made it be OK.â€? Perhaps it also sheds a little more light on how the tumultuous duo was able to link up with their other bandmates to release Aerosmith’s first studio LP in eight years on November 6 and extend its current “Global Warming Tourâ€? through the fall. “This is the first record that I can think of in a long, long time where everybody is really excited about it in the band,â€? Perry noted. He has no problem referring to “Music from Another Dimensionâ€? as Aerosmith’s best yet. “I’d say we’re our own biggest fans so we’re also our own biggest critics.â€? Seems not too much has changed from those crazy days of touring in the ‘70s and ‘80s‌ but some things are different. “There are some substances that aren’t back there that used to be,â€? said Tyler – in a more matter-of-fact than joking manner – about the scene at the show these days. “It’s just so crazy. Everybody wants the backstage ticket. It’s pretty cool.â€? And for the first time, Steven Tyler actually came across understated. W

Silent spirit The roaring twenties are back in style again as students in the King’s College professional writing program, in collaboration with the Luzerne County Historical Society, plan to host a screening of two silent films made in the Wilkes-Barre area, “Flesh and Spirit” and “Her Fractured Voice,” on Friday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. in Burke Auditorium on the King’s Campus. Guests are encouraged to arrive in 1920s attire for a costume contest. Admission is free, and complimentary refreshments from the era will be served during the evening. Live musical accompaniment for the films will be provided by Dos Noisemakers. “Wilkes-Barre has a colorful and diverse history with many people taking great pride in its colonial and industrial past,” said Tony Brooks, director of the Luzerne County Historical Society. “Few people also know that Wilkes-Barre had a vibrant film industry. Between Lyman Howe’s traveling exhibitions of ‘high-class moving pictures’ to the United States Motion Picture Corporation’s ‘Black Diamond Comedies,’ Wilkes-Barre earned its place in the early years of the silent movie craze.”

The Weekender explores New York Comic Con Photos by Rich Howells
By Rich Howells Weekender Staff Writer
O
ver 100,000 geeks piled into the Javits Center for the seventh annual New York Comic Con last weekend, Oct. 11-14, and The Weekender was among the throng of eager fans collecting autographs, testing new video games, sorting through longboxes, marveling at amazing costumes, and attending celebrity panels at the sold
out event. Here’s a round-up of how we spent Friday and Saturday:
Oct. 12
After making a quick scan of the main floor, which included everything from life-sized LEGO sculptures of “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings” characters to mustache salesmen and walls of branded t-shirts, we sat in on DC Comics’ Vertigo panel, which covered the mature imprint’s plans for titles like “Fables” and “Hellblazer” along with new projects by its eclectic
crew. It was announced that the Eisner Awardwinning “American Vampire,” kicked off in 2010 by horror writer Stephen King and creator Scott Snyder in 2010, would be taking a break after issue #34 while Snyder works on some new projects, including “The Wake” for Vertigo, and will most likely return in a new time period. Writer/artist Jeff Lemire’s “Sweet Tooth” is coming to a more permanent close with the doublesized issue #40, the creator said, while the start of the new anthology series
“Ghosts” intrigued us with pencils by the late Joe Kubert, the last work before his death two months ago. Adaptations of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and Quentin Tarantino’s new movie “Django Unchained” were featured, the latter being significant because it will serve as a director’s cut of sorts by including scenes that did not make it into the highly anticipated film due out Dec. 25. The cover of Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” prequel, drawn by J.H. Williams III, was shown, but nothing could yet be revealed about its plot. Next, we watched fans flail their arms and legs in the air as they tested “Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth,” a game for the Xbox 360 and the yet-tobe-released Nintendo Wii U that uses motion capture technology to let you control Marvel Comics superheroes like the Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man in a oneon-one fighting game. The Wii U was also available to test out, particularly “ZombieU,” a first-person shooter where you shoot – you guessed it – hoards of flesh-eating ghouls with that hefty but nifty GamePad controller. After getting a limited edition sketchbook signed by “Hellboy” creator Mike Mignola, we waited over two hours to meet the lovely Carrie Fisher, the actress who put metal bikinis into fashion when she played the iconic Princess Leia Organa in the original “Star Wars” trilogy. She was all smiles as she signed posters and memorabilia alongside stars like Adam West, Christopher Lloyd, Sean Astin, and Lou Ferrigno, but she was the only one
Oct. 13
Walking inside was tough with “The Walking Dead” shambling about when we arrived – to promote the Season 3 premiere of the hit TV show on AMC on Oct. 14, a replica of the RV Dale Horvath (played by Jeffrey DeMunn) drove in Seasons 1 and 2 was parked outside the Javits Center, complete with
an actor in Dale’s trademark bucket hat keeping watch on the roof while zombies swarmed the crowd. Maneuvering around the building may have been more difficult, however, as the busiest day of the convention began. Before “Preacher” and “The Boys” creator/writer “Garth Ennis” revealed at his panel later that day that he would be writing and directing Avatar Press’ ultraviolent “Crossed” live-action webisodes and feature film adaptation, we met Ennis at the Avatar booth to get some “Punisher” and “Stitched” comics signed, followed by a trip to artist alley to talk to longtime “Uncanny X-Men” writer Chris Claremont. The friendly co-creator of many iconic X-characters chatted us up about his favorite work and what it was like to be behind-the-scenes of the “X-Men” films, which he generally enjoyed, while signing a stack of his groundbreaking issues. Speaking of which, Marvel’s merry mutants were brought up quite a bit at “The Avengers” panel, as they will be joining forces with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes following the end of the “Avengers vs. X-Men” crossover event that started earlier this year. Marvel editor in chief Axel Alonso and the writers assured fans that “Uncanny Avengers,” as well as the entire Marvel NOW! relaunch of many of the company’s flagship titles, was not a reboot or simply a renumbering of the books in order to sell more #1 issues, but a clean beginning for new and old readers alike to jump on and get back into the ongoing universe of characters
and stories. Naturally moderated by Hardwick of “Talking Dead,” “The Walking Dead” panel was probably the biggest event of the day, quickly filling the main theater with hundreds more watching a simulcast in the room next door. Members of the main cast were joined by producer executive producer Gale Anne Hurdand and comic creator/ writer Robert Kirkman, letting fans preview the fast-paced opening episode of Season 3 before taking questions and sharing stories from the set. The young Chandler Riggs delved into his character Carl’s transformation from a naive little kid to a dark boy soldier, and fan-favorite Norman Reedus (aka Daryl Dixon) related a joke between him and star Andrew Lincoln, who plays the survivors group’s leader, Rick Grimes – he whispers, “I love you,” to him regularly, which always receives a “F--k you,” in return. Michael Rooker, whose villainous, racist character disappeared in Season 1, returns this season, but he was tightlipped about Merle Dixon’s comeback. New villain The Governor, played by David Morrissey, was also vague about just how evil he’d be, though the other new cast member, Danai Gurira, who is the katana-wielding Michonne, talked about what she went through to prepare for her role as resident badass. Unfortunately, listening to this means we didn’t catch Marvel’s big announcement at its television panel that they would be answering fans’ pleas by bringing back Agent Phil Coulson for the new S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show. Killed off in
“The Avengers” film this summer, the secret agent appeared in several other Marvel films leading up to the team movie and grew a fanbase so large that they wrote his character into the comics, so it makes sense why director Joss Whedon, who is helming the show, would bring him back. The real surprise, however, was when Gregg showed up to the panel unexpectedly to join in the fan fervor, though we still don’t know if this means he will return in film as well. By comparison, Marvel’s “Cup o’ Joe” panel, named after chief creative officer Joe Quesada, wasn’t nearly as exciting, but the witty Quesada, Alonso, and other big players in the House of Ideas did have fun while announcing details of the new “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Nova” comic relaunches, which coincide with the company’s plans for a “Guardians” film in 2014. While usually seen as part of Marvel’s “cosmic universe” that rarely interacts with the main characters, they explained that this would no longer be the case and things would be much more integrated. A fresh, darker Spider-Man, who they confirmed is not Peter Parker and has different powers, will also be introduced in the new comic “Superior Spider-Man” in 2013. We did get to see the premiere of the trailer for the full-length animated film “Iron Man & Hulk: Heroes United,” set for release on home video April 23, 2013, though this was no “Coulson lives!” moment. Few things are, however, but then again, there’s always next year. W

covered in glitter, playfully wiping some on one bashful fan’s face. Our “Empire Strikes Back” poster is that much brighter now thanks to her highness. Finally, we capped the night with the Legendary Comics panel with prolific director Guillermo del Toro, who delivered uproarious answers to fans’ questions as he gushed about “Pacific Rim,” his epic robots-versus-monsters movie to be released in 3-D July 12 that will also be receiving a prequel in comic form by its screenwriter, Travis Beacham. “The Nerdist” host Chris Hardwick moderated and was just as entertained by del Toro’s frank answers, delivered in his thick Mexican accent, as the audience was. Everyone ate up the exclusive sneak peek at his notebooks and original designs, along with the teaser that premiered at San Diego Comic-Con months ago but still managed to fire everyone up. The “Pan’s Labyrinth” director bonded with fans over his lifelong love for classic city-smashing creatures and his vision for the new robotic heroes of “Pacific Rim,” who will be manned by pilots that will actually feel their machines’ pain in battle.

The top 5 lessons I learned at NYCC
v
ASPEN Lab Mix
Owner:
your agenda for the day and be on your way – except that most of these events occur at the same time. There’s actually too much to do at NYCC, so if you plan to walk the floor and explore, prepare to miss that limited autograph session. This brings me to… 3. You will not meet everyone you thought you would. With so many great names on the bill, I didn’t know who I should go after first. That was my first mistake. A preliminary scan of the con website gives you the impression that all of these celebs will just be sitting at a row of tables for your convenience, as is the case for smaller cons, but instead they’re spread out all over in rooms, at booths on the main floor, and down more corridors and hallways than the Death Star. Most of those pilots blew up for a reason. Stay on target and pick your top five – oh, how meta. 2. “Fans first” – unless they’re not shelling out cash. I must emphasize that most employees were kind, courteous, and helpful. A bad apple can spoil the bunch, though. The con promised a limited amount of free autograph tickets Saturday morning to fans of “The Walking Dead,” “Robot Chicken,” and “The Ventures Bros.” cast and crew, but they refused to tell people specifically how limited in an attempt to get people to show up bright and early to spend their cash. While they were told to line-up at 7 a.m., some camped outside in the cold all night for a ticket. My friend showed up around 5:30 a.m. and there was already a healthy line. After waiting several more hours, she noticed that they were all in the same line as opposed to being separated. When the time finally came, they only gave away 50 of each, knowing how crowded the weekend would be well in advance. By not separating the lines, those who missed their opportu-
nity to get what they came for simply took any ticket they could get, some even scalping them online. Rather than spend her money on other things, my friend went home frustrated and tired. Great plan, guys – are you sure you’ve done this before? Despite advertising a “fans first attitude,” several employees made it their jobs to take away from that experience, and one cost me an autograph from one of my favorite directors, Guillermo del Toro. After his panel, he was more than happy to start grabbing fans’ merchandise and sign it, but con employees did their best to block what could have been quick and easy scribbles on paper. After taking as much as he could backstage to sign and sending it back out, he came out of the exit a few minutes later to be greeted quietly and respectfully by myself and three others. As he reached for our things, another employee leapt in the way as if we were a screaming mob and refused to let us, or him, interact. Let the fans have their cake and eat it too, especially when the baker is offering the cake of his own volition. 1. A line can’t keep a good fan down. It sounds like I’m doing a lot of whining here, but the rest of the con was truly great, and that’s mainly because of how cool (or uncool) the nerd herd is. You might be waiting hours for one autograph or panel, so make the most of it by striking up a conversation with the fan next to you. I met a guy this weekend who waited over two hours to get an autograph for his friend who couldn’t make it and planned to wait longer for another – those are the caliber of people you’ll meet. A rare breed? Maybe. Good thing we’re easy to spot in those cosplay tights.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can teach an aging geek a few things. I’ve attended plenty of conventions over the years, but New York Comic Con on Oct. 11-14 at the Javits Center in NYC was my first experience with one of that scale. I’ve heard horror stories about unending lines and overblown marketing at San Diego Comic-Con, so when I read that this one was sold out, I was seriously doubting whether or not I’d have a good time despite being surrounded by more than a few of my favorite things. While I can say that I did overall, there were some downsides and experiences worth noting. As I did last year with the much more manageable Wizard World Philadelphia, I’m listing the top five lessons I learned at NYCC: 5. Everything is more expensive in New York, though you can spend wisely. Usually I get some great deals at cons, but this time was a notable exception. I’m a fanboy who has learned to live within my means, so my wallet was screaming when I even glanced at some of the action figures and memorabilia being sold on the floor. Don’t even get me started on the guests – I thought Carrie Fisher, better known as Princess Leia, charging $60 for an autograph was a bit much, but then I saw fellow “Star Wars” album Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine) charging $125. The Dark Side truly is powerful. Well-known and respected comic creators, however, charged little or nothing for their autographs, so it’s really about getting your priorities straight. Splurge here and there, but don’t just buy things you can probably find back home for less. 4. “My Show Planner” is great, but a DeLorean would be better.

Should Vick be let out of the doghouse?
Melissa’s encounter with "Paul" left her with some unexpected laundry.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick gestures as he talks to children as part of the Humane Society of the United States’ "End Dogfighting" outreach program, in 2010. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee) I’m sure everyone remembers the major incident that landed Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick in jail for 18 months. Animal cruelty is not a thing to take lightly, and when Vick was convicted of it, they tried to make an example out of him. In 2007, Vick was charged by federal authorities with felony charges of operating an illegal dog fighting ring at his house. Vick was accused of financing the operation, directly participating in dog fights as well as executions and personally handling money related to gambling. Vick’s past is a horrific one that many deem unforgivable. But with the past behind him, it seems like he is on the right track to at least trying to make amends for what he did. “Throughout my time in prison, I told myself that I wanted to be part of the solution, not the problem,” Vick told ABC News. Vick is a messenger for the Humane Society of the United States’ (HSUS) anti-dog fighting campaign and is
also involved with the Pets for Life program to end animal cruelty. Vick endorsed an anti-animal cruelty legislation that would make both observing and enabling a minor to watch animal fighting events criminal offenses. This past Thursday, Vick released a statement confirming that he has a new dog. In the statement released by his publicist, Vick said the following: “I understand the strong emotions by some people about our family’s decision to care for a pet. As a father, it is important to make sure my children develop a healthy relationship with animals.” While Vick’s statement may be somewhat laughable, at least he is trying to break the cycle and commit to making a positive change. Despite the controversy over whether or not he should be allowed to own a dog after what he did, Vick promises that his new dog will be well cared for and loved and will continue to honor his commitment to animal welfare. Rachel Querry, Director of
Communications for the HSUS, said the following on the issue: “We are paying attention to this, but it’s not a major animal welfare issue. Instead, when it comes to the protection of dogs, we are focusing on further strengthening the legal framework against dog fighting, building communitybased programs that instill respect for animals and deter young people from going down the dead-end road of dog fighting, promoting adoption, and cracking down on puppy mills… Those are the urgent battles that need the full attention of animal advocates.” Most of us can probably agree that Vick should not be allowed to own another dog after what he did and will have a hard time forgetting his past actions. However, some might also question if it should be held over his head for the rest of his life and that forgiveness might just be the answer.

There's an ocean between us Friday night at the Hardware Bar, cheap drinks were flying, clothes were scant, and the place was jumping. I was out for a girl’s night and fresh off of a difficult break up. I was slamming drink after drink until I could no longer feel the lingering pain of my lost love. I, wearing my liquor suit of armor, stumbled up to a delightful looking boy and started dancing. Eventually, things escalated and although he spent the night calling me Michelle, I didn’t mind. He was cute, and I was drunk. He came back to my place for an after party. I awoke the next morning a little sketchy on what had happened that night. I saw him sleeping there, and I got up to stumble to the bathroom for the bottle of Tylenol. When I looked in the mirror, my neck had come down with a grotesque case of leprosy. I cringed and then looked to my right. In front of the toilet, there was a puddle on the floor and the lid was up. Irritated, I cleaned up the mess, put down the lid, cursed a bit and got back to bed with my pills and water in hand.
He was now awake. “Hey Michelle, can you take me home?” I corrected him that my name isn’t Michelle. Then, at that moment, I realized I didn’t have the slightest clue what his name was either. It seemed rude to ask at this point, so I just cut my losses and took him home. Upon arrival, he leaned over as if he was going to kiss me. Instead, he gave me a high five and said, “Michelle, you are awesome.” I drove home, climbed the stairs to my apartment, and dove face first into the heaven of my bed. This time, however, it is not so heavenly. It is wet. Very wet. I lifted the blankets and there it was: he had peed the bed. Not just a trickle, an ocean of urine. It soaked through all of my sheets and my mattress. I called my friend Emily, and she asked how my night was. I asked her who the guy was. “Paul, I think,” she replied. So Paul-I-Think, if you ever read this, thanks. I am still not Michelle.

sorry mom & dad A 20-SOMETHING’S WILD ADVENTURES
Justin Brown | Weekender Correspondent
'RE6' infected with crossover genres, gameplay “Resident Evil 6” (PS3, XBOX 360, PC), the latest game in Capcom’s survival horror series, is here with a new look and feel that returning fans may not be ready for. “RE6” feels and plays more like an action game than survival horror, replacing terrifying atmospheric gameplay with high speed action sequences on speeding trains and motorcycles. The story is separated into three primary campaigns, which all must be played to get a full understanding of the entire story. Fans will be happy to see that series hero Leon Kennedy is back, accompanied by Helena Harper, who lets him know of a new contagion raising the dead around the world. Fans of “Resident Evil 4” will feel at home with this campaign, and it’s a good starting point for newcomers. The gameplay throws you into high pressure action situations with varied enemies who all represent their own challenge in defeating. Returning from “Resident Evil 5” is Chris Redfield, who leads a team of BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) soldiers into battle. Chris’s campaign is action packed with tanks, automatic weapons, and a cover-based shooting system. Finally we have Jake Muller, the son of Albert Wesker, and Sherry Birkin who is now all grown up after “Resident Evil 2.” Jake’s campaign is for fans of “Resident Evil’s” fighting and wrestling moves, as he is a master of melee combat. All three campaigns have their own unique styles of gameplay with intersecting story lines as you run into characters in each campaign to provide clues about what’s really going on. It captures the new and old feel of “Resident Evil,” but it feels empty with no vision and heart. Sadly, the survival-horror tone is far gone in “RE6,” lacking the tension that past games have had. The monsters and zombies arrive in all different types of
Leon Kennedy, from ’Resident Evil 4,’ returns to action in the latest installment of the zombie franchise.
WKRZ radio host Rocky Rhodes, left, threw down the gauntlet and took Justin’s beer pong challenge.
The beer pong challenge continues Chris Redfield’s section of ’Resident Evil 6’ is more action packed, taking the series in a drastically different direction than its origins implied. shapes and sizes but none of them inspire the panic and tension that I felt in previous “Resident Evil” games. The basic control layout is the same as “RE5,” but at times the camera can become awkward, being so close to you that it cuts off your peripheral vision. I also noticed while aiming that there are issues with blind spots, which becomes a problem when zombies swarm around you. Redfield’s campaign hardly feels like a “Resident Evil,” leaning heavily on action set pieces with lots of enemies who shoot back. This is where the new cover system comes in, which feels wonky and doesn’t always agree with the camera, but it does work. Players can also now sprint and slide towards enemies, knocking them down. You can duck under enemy attacks, jump backwards falling down, and side-to-side to avoid attacks. Once you hit the floor, you can also ready your weapon and fire away at the
enemy you just dodged. Newcomer Jake’s hand to hand combat will get you excited at first, but the moment you try it you’ll realize you should have never put the guns down. It’s awkward and misses more than it lands. “Resident Evil” is clearly changing direction, but it wants everything all at once. It wants to keep the atmospheric horror tone and pace, the wild west shootouts, and the blockbuster action sequences. In its attempt to be a new action game for all to enjoy, it becomes a game that feels unpolished and doesn’t know where it belongs. There is some good with the bad, however. Co-op missions are fun with a friend and now can be played on split-screen and system link. Another nice touch during online co-op is that the game will automatically find pairs from the other campaigns when the story calls for all four characters to cross paths.

It’s been nearly four weeks since I challenged Jimmy Fallon to a game of beer pong, and he has yet to resolve the proposition. Could it be that he isn’t one of The Weekender’s over 172,000 readers? Impossible! Maybe the thought of rocking out with his beer pong balls out and losing to me is daunting his conscience. Whatever the case, while he’s eluding the topic: other people have been quick to hop on the beer pong challenge train, like 98.5 KRZ morning show host Rocky Rhodes! “You’re going to have to beat me first!” tweeted KRZ’s Rocky after hearing of my public challenge to Fallon. “I’ll supply the table and the cups,” he offered. So I piled bodyguard costumes from the costume storage room at the resort I work at into my car, along with a British guy named Joel I met working there who I convinced to play my bodyguard, and drove back to NEPA. Since arguing with my menopausal mother probably would have put too much stress on me to win the game of beer pong, I decided to spend the night before the big game at the Scranton Hilton, NEPA’s best place to relax and get treated like royalty. “I’m not dressing up as your
bodyguard by myself,” cried Joel as I made him serve me alcohol on a silver platter in the Hilton’s Jacuzzi. “It’s 1:30 a.m. I don’t think you’ll be able to find someone else to come with us for 8 a.m.,” he added. “That’s what you think,” I replied. We ran to Kildare’s, Scranton’s best pub, and I asked the bartender if she wanted to be on the radio at 8 a.m. Her manager said she could only do it if he came to make sure she didn’t say anything stupid on the air. “You can come, but you have to dress up in a costume as my bodyguard,” I insisted. He agreed. The next morning, I arrived at KRZ with two bodyguards and a bartender, wearing a shirt that read “I Came To Get My Balls Wet.” The game was intense, as it came down to two guys, one cup...each, before I won! Sorry, Mom and Dad, that I called off work to play beer pong at 8 a.m. As for you, Jimmy Fallon, you better accept my challenge before I get more practice and it’s harder for you to win! XOXO

Weekender Correspondent LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) You may not be able to speak Canine, but you can reasonably assume that when your dog lies down at your feet both of you experience some degree of comfort and pleasure. It’s just one minor example of the levels of communication you’re capable of. Since the exotic creature you’re trying to commune with this week is actually human, if completely unfamiliar in every other way, rest assured that some mutually beneficial arrangement is not only possible, it’s likely. Just keep being sensitive to what you can do to make those (of all species) around you happy; they’ll more than return the favor. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Whether you’ve pricked your finger against the shiny spindle of the gold-threadproducing spinning wheel, the thorny projections of your own new growth, or the jagged edges of someone’s broken heart, it hurts. The source of pain is almost irrelevant; Only your reaction to it matters. How disappointing if it keeps you from reaching out into uncertain places, because some of the most important treasures you’ve ever gotten or will get come from unknown territories just like those. You can’t make yourself safe from the nicks and cuts life dishes out. Those risks are what make it worth it. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) The Monks of New Skete, N.Y., breed dogs and train “trouble dogs.” Their monastery is at least partially supported by these ventures and their products—like several outstanding books (including “How to Be Your Dog’s Best Friend”). The dogs living there lead a monastic lifestyle themselves, getting up early and accompanying their masters throughout the day. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement: the dogs get to spend time with their human “pack” and the monks enjoy non-intrusive relief from their essential solitude and isolation. It’s a great combination that works on so many levels, including making the monastery money. You’re so close to creating a similar WinWin-Win-Win situation; I hope you can grab some inspiration from this example to push you over the edge.
Eminem Oct. 17, 1972 Bristol Palin Oct. 18, 1990 John Lithgow Oct. 19, 1945 John Krasinski Oct. 20, 1979 CARRIE FISHER (PICTURED) Oct. 21, 1956 Zac Hanson Oct. 22, 1985 Nancy Grace Oct. 23, 1959
sort) didn’t just suddenly appear. Instead of laughing at those idiots still wearing shorts (and freezing their knees off), wrap your scarf on tight and catch up on preparations for the “winter” that’s hitting your house. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Since when did you become such a prankster? Wile E., I should call you. You didn’t always have time for practical jokes. I can only conclude, that contrary to your master plan, the lazy loafers you occasionally surround yourself with are rubbing off on you, instead of you on them. That’s not always a bad thing. In this case, I’m happy to be the butt of your cleverly planned tricks. But I’m concerned about some of the other less savory aspects of your slacker buds, specifically their rampant flakiness. I see the first symptoms of unreliability all over you, like a rash. Maintain your effectiveness. In other words, keep making time for jokes, but don’t become one. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Don’t fling the ring down the drain accidentally-on-purpose. Although your main “thing” seems to be cutting into your Alone Time and preventing or occluding muchneeded self-reflection, resist throwing it away entirely. Ah, the demands of a relationship! The price sometimes seems high, especially now, when you’re craving freedom and mental solitude instead of the sex or intimacy you thought you wanted a while back. I understand and support your current desire for quiet contemplation. Just remember how quickly these moods of yours can change. By the time you finish breaking up with your jealous lover, you’ll probably want him/her back. There’s got to be a better way to get the downtime you need. This week, find it.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Friends are just like anything else; there are certain combinations you simply don’t try. You wouldn’t mix paisley and plaid, olives and caramel, or raw oysters and roller coasters. People are a different category, it’s true. But you’re astute enough to know when bringing two of them together might be a happy combination (“Your chocolate’s in my peanut butter…”) and when it’s simply a disaster waiting to happen. Don’t assume that everyone that likes you will automatically like each other. Pay attention to potential compatibilities or disharmonies this week. Your friends won’t know to thank you for doing it, but consider their silence a blessing; they’d be sure to gripe if you didn’t bother. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Yowzers! This week you’re due for a moment of geeky clarity so pure and simple it’s straight out of a 60s sitcom. Don’t knock it. Moments like these are rare for you. Put your usual activities (especially those involving reality-avoidance) on hold to act on this brief lucidity. It’s easier than you think, sometimes as simple as saying, “Gee, Mrs. Brady, I’m sorry I broke your lamp. I’ll never play ball in the house again.” If you successfully follow the straightforward guidance of even half of the Partridge-Family-style solutions that’ll occur to you this week, you can finally rid your life of most of the nasty complications you spend so much time avoiding. Then you can return next week to your usual boozing and floozing with a much lighter heart. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Primarily you’ve been a victim of your own bad planning, or total lack thereof. What
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Here I am, flapping my elbows and clucking provocatively. You know what I’m teasing you about: a regrettable, embarrassing failure of courage and imagination that has cost you, to date, 238 minutes of precious sleep. Almost four hours of your time has been spent rehashing what you should have done. Stop the insanity. Knock yourself out if you have to—you need the sleep. Why? Because your second chance—yes, a tiny little window of opportunity—is coming up. Unless you’re well-rested, primed, and ready to leap enthusiastically and unreservedly through it, you’ll miss this one too. And who knows how much sleep that might cost you. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Backstage following a college theater production, I asked the star of the show: “Don’t you feel egotistical taking a second bow?” “Oh, it’s not for me,” he replied, “It’s for them. They feel cheated if I don’t give them enough chances to love me.” It’s arrogant but true; the enthusiastic audience got way more out of clapping, cheering, and hollering than Mr. Cool did from receiving it. They would’ve left disappointed and unrequited if he’d failed to appear for more adoration. While you don’t need to retain the blasé, unruffled calm of my fellow actor, you do need to follow his example. Give people more chances to love you. They will. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Don’t be an ass. You’re not exactly in the doghouse, but your usual alliances are unusually busy. Thus the only one left to defend your good name and stick up for you is the palm-reading hippy chick you buy your pot brownies from. As character witnesses go, she…may not be ideal. But accept her help anyway; you need it. Don’t be so rigid. Doing things the way you’re used to isn’t an option this week. Embrace unconventionality and make the best of an awkward situation. It’s better than floundering in nostalgic mulishness (see line one).

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Winter lurks in the wings, waiting to ambush nostalgically stubborn summer lovers with its frigid malevolence. Don’t scoff. Naturally, no one should be surprised by anything as basically predictable as a seasonal change. Yet, a similarly expected event is on the verge of catching you off-guard, or at least woefully underprepared. What’s your excuse? The looming deadline (of whatever
CELEBRITY BIRTHDAYS
do you mean, what do I mean? Some minor examples: Your baked bean dinner had you tooting all morning, to the dismay of fellow commuters and coworkers. And not even understandable forgetfulness can excuse the fact that you scheduled dates with your two favorite people, on the same night. The fact that your dis-ease is self-inflicted is a good thing; it’s therefore in your own power to affect a cure. Organize yourself, and be amazed at how hassle-free your future can be.
