Letter from the editor S
ometimes you just have to wonder why people do the things they do. Oh, let’s start with those people who drive 40 mph in the passing lane on interstates, for example. Or perhaps the young (but not-too-young-tonot-know-any-better) couple who sat nearby when I finally went to see “The Hunger Games” last week. Yes, I’m talking about the very couple who proceeded to talk to each other, loudly, through the entire movie. Why? Why not just go to a coffee shop, a restaurant or home, for the love of God, if you just wanted to talk? We here at the Weekender asked “why” when we got wind of Dayglow’s existence. Why would anyone want to get sprayed with paint (lots and lots of paint) at “The World’s Largest Paint Party?” we wondered as we looked at pictures of past events on the tour’s website. Well, when Stephanie DeBalko talked to people who have been to Dayglow for this week’s cover story, we found out why: “It was the most fun I’ve ever had,” said a source. Intrigued? Turn to pg. 16. Also in this week’s issue, “Tech Talk”
social
informs us about Internet-connected glasses and contacts that could change the way we look at things (p. 15), and given my penchant for road rage, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jeff’s rant about senior-citizen drivers in “Bitch & Brag” (p. 43). In other Weekender news, I just want to remind everyone that Wednesday, April 25 is our Readers’ Choice issue, in which we’ll reveal all the winners of this year’s poll before celebrating them starting at 8 p.m. at Breakers inside Mohegan Sun Casino. We hope to see you all there! Have a great rest of your week and thanks for reading! -- Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor

The Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia recently won a $36,000 grant to study the genetic basis of Trimethylaminuria, otherwise known as the disorder that causes sufferers to smell like dead fish. The first case reported in medical literature was in the 1970s, but according to a Science News report, “an ancient Hindu tale describes a maiden who ‘grew to be comely and fair, but a fishy odor ever clung to her.’�

LEADING ECONOMIC INDICATORS -- When workers at the Carlsberg Beer plant in Vilnius, Lithuania, decided to walk out over poor pay and conditions, the company went to court to block them, and in March, a judge ruled for the company, temporarily halting a strike as not in the national interest because Carlsberg Beer is “vitally essential,� thus placing the brew in the same legal category as medical supplies. (Said a British labor union official, “This is probably the most ridiculous decision in the world.�) ANIMAL TALES -- Eight to Go: (1) After the year-old house cat Sugar survived a 19-floor fall at a Boston high-rise in March, an Animal Rescue League official explained to MSNBC that extra
fur where the legs attach to the body enables cats to “glide� and partially “control� their landing. Research suggests that steep falls are thus easier to survive, as cats have time to spread themselves out. (2) The 5-year-old cat Demi survived a 40-minute tumble-dry (temperature up to 104 F) in Whitchurch, England, in March (although she needed oxygen, fluids and steroids to recover). Jennifer Parker, 45, had tossed a load of clothes in, unaware that Demi was in the pile. -- Something Else to Worry About: A computer science professor working with the Bonobo Hope Great Ape Trust Sanctuary in Des Moines, Iowa, has developed a bonobo robot that can be controlled by live bonobos. Among the first applications of the robot, said Dr. Ken Schweller in March, is a water cannon that bonobos will be taught to operate via an iPad app in order to “play chase games� with each other — “or to squirt guests.� THE CONTINUING CRISIS Drive-By Etiquette: In February, Kendall Reid, 36, was extradited from New Jersey back to LaPlace, La., where he had been sought for allegedly shooting at a car on Interstate 10 on Christmas Eve. According to police, Reid failed to hit the car he was aiming at, instead inadvertently shooting out the back window of a car in which two women were riding. However, as the damaged car stopped on the side of the road, Reid pulled his Corvette over, too, walked up to the women, and apologized (“Sorry, wrong car�) — before resuming his pursuit of his intended target.

THE REDNECK CHRONICLES (1) A 41-year-old man was treated with antivenom at the USA Medical Center in Mobile, Ala., in March after he was bitten by a cottonmouth. The man had seen the snake at an encampment, beaten it to death with a stick and decapitated it. At that point, according to the man’s friend, he for some reason started to “play with� the head. (The dead snake’s teeth still contained venom.) (2) James Davis of Stevenson, Ala., vowed in April that he would forever resist a judge’s order that he dig up his late wife’s body from his front yard and rebury it in a cemetery. “I’m in it for the long haul,� he said, promising to wait out the authorities. “I don’t have much to do but sit around (and) think about what’s going on.� LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Thought of Almost Everything: Mishelle Salzgeber, 20, was arrested in March in New Port Richey, Fla., after failing a drug test, which was a condition of her probation for an undisclosed crime. Apparently, Salzgeber knew that she would probably fail on her own and had gone to the trouble of inserting a small tube of someone else’s urine into her vagina. Unfortunately for her, a pre-test body-scan revealed the tube. (Besides, authorities tested the urine in the tube and found that it also failed.)

A CONTINENTAL CUISINE, WITH SLIDERS Fast-Food Culture Shock: Since December, the White Castle restaurant in Lafayette, Ind., has provided diners with a stylish experience that includes table service and a wine selection to go with its iconic “slider� hamburgers. A state wine industry expert told The Wall Street Journal in February, after a tasting, that she would recommend the Merlot, although the Moscato was “fun� and the Chardonnay passable (though all wines come in $4.50, screwoff-top bottles and is served in clear plastic glasses). (As for the sliders, said the wine expert, eyeing the burgers on her plate, “At some point, that was a cow, I guess.�)

lighting the pitfalls of this technology. Running into people on the street because you were paying attention to something your glasses were trying to show you. Accidentally sending e-mails due to imperfect voice-command technology and so on. The reality is likely to be somewhere in between, but the amount of power packed into a simple pair of glasses is impressive, especially given its “coming-very-soon” status. Not to be outdone, a company called Innovega announced it was working on a prototype for contact lenses that match or exceed Google glasses’ capability.
Tech companies make bold predictions like this all the time, and they don’t always come true, but now the government thinktank DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, aka the guys who really invented the Internet and a whole bunch of other stuff), has put in an order for the prototype lenses, known as “iOptik.” These lenses don’t just project information in front of your eye like Google’s glasses do — instead they employ “multifocal” technology. The center of the lens contains the display, which projects itself toward the middle of

This allows wearers to focus on the display and the world around them at the same time. While the military usually gets its hands on all the coolest toys years before the average civilian does, Innovega hopes to clear all of the remaining hurdles, both medical and practical, to have its lenses on the market by 2014, no doubt with a hefty price tag at-

NEON NIGHTS The World’s Largest Paint Party colors NEPA

im Morrison has been famously quoted as saying, “I want to have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.” It’s a romantic sentiment, but one we don’t all have the luxury of regularly ascribing to, whether because of societal or personal expectations. But there are some instances where indulging in such glorious disobedience is acceptable — no, expected — and one of those places is at a Dayglow: Life in Color
show. “You can just walk around and start throwing paint on random people,” said Matt Morgis, a 19-year-old freshman at Temple University and Weekender correspondent. “And you’re just free to do whatever the hell you want for one night, basically, inside that arena or wherever it’s at.” “Wherever it’s at” locally will be the Sherman Theater Summer Stage at Pocono Valley Resort Saturday, April 21 with DJs Sidney Samson and David Solano. And of
course, the freedom at “The World’s Largest Paint Party” is limited to some degree. Recreational drugs and underage drinking are certainly not encouraged, for instance. The undercurrents of the show itself call to mind a level of self-expression and maybe just a bit of hedonism. Not only can spectators douse one another with paint, but washable neon paint is spattered at the crowd from large, strategically placed paint cannons. “It seemed like everyone was talking about it, and it
was kind of like you have to go to Dayglow at least once in your lifetime, so I figured, all right, I’ll try it out,” said Lauren Rosen, an 18-yearold freshman at Temple. “I don’t know if I’d go again, just because I’ve done it once already. Maybe I’d try something new, but the paint really
got me into it.” For about five uninterrupted hours, people (and it’s mostly a younger crowd) sway with each other to electronic dance music (EDM), watch performers akin to circus artists and revel in the act of being festooned by neon paint, culminating in what Presi-

SETTING THE STAGE hen Dayglow makes its local entrance, it will be
through the Sherman Theater, but it won’t be held at the indoor location in Stroudsburg. Instead, it will be part of the theater’s Summer Stage project, and Pocono Valley Resort in Reeders is just one of a number of locations the Sherman is using. “The Sherman Summer Stage is a project we’ve been working on for years,” Berkowitz explained. “It started out with mostly just festivals and events where we do stuff in mostly downtown Stroudsburg or East Stroudsburg, and this year we’ve expanded that program to include anywhere we can put something together … So our Summer Stage project is where we own the staging and other equipment to be able to do events pretty much anywhere, so we can roll up

dent and CEO of the Sherman Theater Rich Berkowitz described as “kind of a mix between Cirque du Soleil and electronic DJ music.” “It was really the perfect atmosphere of freedom,” Morgis, who had attended a Dayglow show once in Philadelphia with plans of doing so again, said. “Because you just had thousands of people jumping around, dancing with each other. Everyone’s throwing paint. They had staff and security guards walking around with buckets, just dumping paint on people ... Everyone’s sweating and hooking up, and it’s just like the awesome stereotypical college party that you see in movies.”
With all of its psychedelic leanings — black lights, circus acts, the music — it’s easy to see how one could draw the rave comparison. Berkowitz, however, doesn’t think that’s a fair assumption, and Morgis and Rosen echoed that opinion. “I find it so comical, everyone is so stuck on this whole, ‘It’s a rave,’” Berkowitz said. “There are concerts like this every night of the week, and they’re not in basements of old warehouses, they’re in professional spaces and venues. “The reality is, I’m sure there’s somebody that is going to do some sort of a drug, and they shouldn’t, but to be honest they’ll do that whether or not they’re going to that concert or some other concert … That being said, of course we take all the precautions we do at every concert and every event with appropriate security (and) emergency services on-hand.” And the paint aspect, which Top two photos, our cover models is further driven home by get doused in paint. the black lights and the Other photos courtesy Dayglow Tour. white-clothing dress code, is arguably the most important Burning Man for the eternal to almost any space.” element of Dayglow.

Lab meat might not be a bad thing W

Lab meat could cut back on animal slaughter and global warming.

caused by the meat industry by up to 60 percent. “We would gain a tremendous amount in terms of resources,” said Post. The professor added that the ultimate goal is to mass-produce lab meat in order to cut back on animal slaughter and global warming caused by livestock farming. At the University of British Columbia, professor Sean Smukler believes that the lab-grown meat will be a good solution for keeping up with the high demand for food all while taking it easy on the environment. “It will help reduce land pressures,” Smukler told BBC News. “Anything that stops more wild land being converted to agricultural land is a good thing.” The president of Earthsave Canada, David Steele, said that these benefits could be achieved if people just ate less meat. “While I do think that there are definite environmental and animal welfare advantages of this hightech approach over factory farming, especially, it is pretty clear to me that plant-based alternatives have substantial environmental and probably animal welfare advantages over synthetic meat,” said Steele. While this new research is interesting and somewhat gross, it could be a great gain for society as well as the environment. W

to Kelly’s CD release party at The Bog in Scranton on Saturday, April 21, be careful what you say within earshot. “I just like to keep my ears open and listen to people,” Kelly said. “I like to think people write my songs, I just happen to have a pen and a paper.” That may be why Kelly has so many original tunes in his personal repertoire to draw on. “We catalogued my songs in the studio, and I have, like, 50,” he stated. “I just write songs all the time, and I like to just record them. I’m actually going to start recording another album soon.” Until then, “Running Time” joins 2010’s “Amountin’ to Somethin’” and, according to Kelly, has a “little more of some blues and other elements in it” in addition to his trademark folk
sound. The album came out because the singer/songwriter was planning on moving to New York City last September, but the plans got rearranged when his friend suggested he make a jaunt into the studio. Much like his freewheelin’ predecessor, Kelly is now content to just see where the music takes him. “Right now my thing is, I’ve got my suitcase, my guitar and my car, so I just go,” Kelly said. “I just bounce around, I like doing that. I like traveling and meeting people, because people’s where it’s at.” W Drew Kelly “Running Time” CD Release Party: Sat., April 21, 8 p.m., The Bog (341 Adams Ave., Scranton).

hen I first heard about laboratory-grown meat, or in vitro meat, I didn’t really believe it was true. But it is in fact true, and there are several research projects currently growing laboratory meat. No meat has yet been produced for public consumption, and it’s not to be confused with imitation meat, such as soy or gluten vegetarian meat. The process of creating in vitro meat involves taking muscle cells from an animal and applying a protein that will help the cells grow into large portions of meat. One animal could provide more than a billion pounds of in vitro meat, which could feed the world’s population for quite some time. By September of this year, scientists at Maastricht University in the Netherlands will produce hamburger meat and have already produced sausage. Although this may not sound appealing to the average meat eater, it really does make sense if you think about it. With the costs of factory farming techniques always on the rise and the world’s booming population, in vitro meat just might be the latest and greatest technology needed to feed the future world. Professor Mark Post, a physiologist at Maastricht University, said at a recent science convention in Canada that synthetic meat could reduce the environmental impact
hile very much his own sound, the smoky harmonica and raw chords that make up the songs on Drew Kelly’s new album, “Running Time,” create a feeling that is very Bob Dylan-like — whether Kelly likes it or not. But that comparison is something he’s learned to espouse. In fact, even though Kelly’s father was always a Dylan fan, Kelly himself never took a liking to him. Until one day, he did. “I remember — this was almost three years ago, I was 19 — I heard this one song, ‘Shelter from the Storm,’” the Scranton native told the Weekender. “And I went storming through my dad’s records and was trying to find the one that that was on, and it ended up being ‘Blood on the Tracks,’ and I listened to that. “I didn’t even know if (Dylan) was alive or if he was playing music or anything, I didn’t know anything about him, and I went to see him play, this was like November of ’09, and then just that alone, I got a guitar the next day.” Kelly, who plays harmonica and piano in addition to guitar, has been performing and writing music ever since. “When I first started writing, it was kind of all just songs about being on the road and doing all that stuff,” he explained. “But now, there’s so many other things going around that you’ve just got to be aware of. And so I mean now I guess I’m just more in sync with my surroundings than I used to be. I used to be kind of just one-track minded and kind of wrote my own stuff, but now I can say that I can write for people better.” And he’s learned to absorb his surroundings into his music — so if you make it

ALBUM REVIEWS Magical 'Wasteland'
M. Ward has been churning out music for more than a decade, but it seems mainstream listeners didn’t really tune in until he teamed up with everyone’s favorite eccentric girl next door, Zooey Deschanel, to create the duo She & Him. Though the result of that connection has been nothing short of wonderful, Ward has saved some of that magic for his solo efforts with this month’s “A Wasteland Companion.” Seamlessly blending covers with Ward’s own words and chords, the singer/songwriter and guitarist’s eighth studio album is packed with fluttery guitar and happily simple sentiments. It kicks off with the forgettable
“Clean Slate” but quickly makes up for the song’s shortcomings with “Primitive Girl,” a catchy pop-inspired track that shows off Ward’s indie chops. Deschanel makes the first of her two cameos on “Me And My Shadow” as somewhat of a background singer, but her accompaniment on “Sweetheart” makes the cover of Daniel Johnston’s song an album standout. Ward’s cover of Louis Armstrong’s “I Get Ideas” is a delightfully retro addition to the otherwise folksy elements of the rest of “A Wasteland Companion,” and its guitar solo is about as raucous as the album gets. “Watch The Show” is the
MxPx “Plans Within Plans” Rating: W W
MxPx does its own thing It’s best not to look too deep into MxPx’s new album, “Plans Within Plans.” If you do, you’ll find lyrics that are juvenile at best and mismatched music: Throughout the 13-song record, the band’s ninth and first in five years, there are tinges of ’80sglam inspired guitars and drums, metal-ish basslines and emo lyrics. But the energy of the trio — vocalist/
record’s best track, beckoning the listener back with woeful lyrics about a bedraggled television producer. On its face, the song seems like a risk, and the lyrics don’t read like they would ever be an appropriate match for a melody, but Ward makes it work. The record closes with “Pure Joy,” a sweetly simple tune that showcases Ward’s vocals perfectly. “A Wasteland Companion” is packed with the shiny, vintage elements that made She & Him a household name. At the same time, the album maintains Ward’s individuality and displays his ability to write lyrically complex yet sentimentally simple songs. His choice of covers is the cherry on top, as his knack for making just about any song sound current while maintaining its original integrity is downright magical. -- Stephanie DeBalko Weekender Staff Writer
bassist Mike Herrera, drummer Yuri Ruley and guitarist Tom Wisniewski — cannot be denied, especially as it celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Each song is a short burst of vigor that does match Herrera’s youthful vocals/words. “Aces Up” blows open the album, and the punky “Screw Loose” precedes “Nothing Left,” on which Ruley’s drums are swift and pounding. “The Times” features a throaty bass and melodic chorus from Herrera and Wisniewski; it ends on a hairbandy flourish that somehow fits. “In The Past” sounds like metal-lite, with swirling guitars and violent drums, while “Best Of Times” is a reflective tune about growing up. Midpoint-track “Stay On Your Feet” is uplifting and anthemic — and a breath of fresh air. “Lucky Guy,” about a fella thankful for the girl who loves him despite his lack of Ph.D. and millions is pedestrian. The epic “Far Away” follows with a heavy flair, complete with a throaty bassline and Herrera attempting scremo. “Cast Down My Heart” goes emo, thanks to lyrics like, “This will make me stronger, eventually” and “Every break needs a cast” while “Inside Out” mixes punky and ’80s guitar. Though “Plans Within Plans” sounds a lot like other bands of the pop-punk genre, it’s just MxPx doing its thing — and isn’t that what’s at the heart of punk music? -- Nikki M.

Ministry “Relapse” Rating: W W W 1/2
Ministers of in your face Pioneering industrial-rock outfit Ministry is back from the dead.

M. Ward “A Wasteland Companion” away from controversial subjects, and “Relapse” is no exception. Most of the songs on the album deal either with the current socio-political landscape or selfdestruction via controlled substances, and are delivered in typical Ministry fashion: In your face with a blistering, thunderous intensity. The album opens strong with “Ghouldiggers,” a scathing critique of the music business with the volume (and speed) turned up to 11. “Kleptocracy” and “99 Percenters” express many people’s dissatisfaction, and “Git Up Get Out ’n’ Vote” could not be more straight to the point. The cover of S.O.D.’s “United Forces” also fits well with the “us-against-them” theme. At the other end of the spectrum, songs like “Freefall” and “Relapse” deal with the harm that people do to themselves. Ministry has penned many a tune that paints a vivid picture of the traps of addiction, but in this case, the music focuses less on vanity as a reason and more on just giving up. With “Relapse,” Ministry proves that it can still make powerful, meaningful music. While the delivery is flawless, the subject matter is where the band may lose some listeners just a bit. Depending on one’s interpretation, “Relapse” is either motivated protest rock or just Jourgensen complaining, and the band’s relentless style only serves to blur that line.

Special to the Weekender
hen people think of Justin Bieber, a number of different opinions may come to mind. Some may still see him as the teenager who packed malls across America past their fire codes. Others might immediately associate Bieber with his girlfriend, actress/singer Selena Gomez. But for Mike Posner, the teen star is simply a “really cool kid.” “Justin is 18 now, so the kid that I went in to the studio with is like, buddies with Lil Wayne,” Posner explained during a sitdown interview with “The Ralphie Radio Show.” “He, like, skateboards with Weezy.” So how do you convey that image of Bieber kicking it with Lil Wayne to the public, while not alienating the millions of teens who adore The Biebs? Posner feels they achieved just that with “Boyfriend.” “My goal was to make something that me and my friends could put on in the car, smoke and drive to, and chill to,” he said. “But also, not abandon this amazing and gigantic fan base that he’s built thus far.” So Posner co-wrote and coproduced the track, which serves as the lead single from Bieber’s forthcoming album, “Believe.” “I’m just honored to be a part of the Bieber project,” Posner said. “He’s such a high-profile artist that he really has the opportunity to change where music is and push it in a new direction, and I think that’s exactly what he’s doing with his new album.” Speaking of different direc-
tions and new music, Posner himself is in the midst of writing and recording his sophomore outing, “Sky High.” The “Cooler Than Me” singer revealed that the album is about 75 percent complete. “The sound of the record, and the emotion of the record, and the tone of the record — I’m not rapping, I’m singing, but it grows out of hip-hop,” he said. “There’s a lot of soul in the record, and there’s not a lot of synths and techno-beats.” The album’s first single, “Looks Like Sex,” will be about as “dance-y” as the new material gets. Posner did create a track in studio with David Guetta, however, that won’t make the album, which will be out before the end of the year. THE MAINO NETWORK Musical artists are constantly using different social networks to interact with fans from Facebook and Twitter to Instagram and Tumblr. But some artists, such as Maino, are putting a different twist on the approach. The rapper teamed up with YuuZoo to launch his own social platform. He celebrated its launch inside Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club. “It doesn’t take the place of Facebook, it actually works in accordance with it,” Maino explained. “You have all of this information in one (site), instead of having to log on and jump to different sites.” The Brooklyn-bred rhymer has a lot to talk about with his fans these days. His last album, “Day After Tomorrow,” dropped in February, and he plans to release an EP, “Still Unstoppable,” this sumW mer. Listen to “The Ralphie Radio Show” weeknights from 7 p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.

s the warm weather seeps into the area, the desire to get out and enjoy it begins to surge. The decks are opening, and people are starting to flock to the hottest party scenes they can find. What makes the best parties often comes down to who is spinning and if you can get a world-class DJ who frequents some of the most popular clubs in the country, it makes for one hell of a party. Sector One Entertainment is bringing in two such DJs for two events this week that just might get every-
one on the dance floor. Up f irst is the River Street Jazz Cafe Thursday, April 19 where dubstep master Joe Nice of Baltimore is headlining. “The Jazz Cafe has become a giant of a music venue despite its relatively small size,” said DJ Hersh of Sector One, adding that the Nice event is a continuation of Forward, Sector One’s regular feature at the venue. “Forward has brought in many DJs over the years and continues its tradition of bringing top-notch talent to the Wilkes-Barre area.” A native of England who fell in love with dubstep overseas, Nice brought the music genre to the States and is now known as one of the best dubstep DJs in the
country. “Dubstep is a British style of dance music, 140 beats per minute, it’s heavy,” he explained. “It has a variety of influences, and the sound has been around for over 10 years. It’s a lot to learn, a lot you need to know about the sound, and I’ve been playing it since the early days of its inception.” This isn’t Nice’s f irst time to NEPA or the Jazz Cafe, and he’s sure it won’t be his last. “I’m really excited to come back to NEPA, there are lots of good people up there, it’s always a good vibe when I get back there,” he shared. “I’m 1,000 percent ready for this; I’m ready to smash it. It’s going to be a good time, Thursday night, deck night with a lively crowd … I’m gonna turn some heads.” Nice has almost two decades of experience and loves being able to bring the joy of the music to the people; it is the reason why he does what he does — and why he promises an awesome party at the Jazz Cafe. “It’ll be a good night in terms of everything: Energy, excitement, good people, environment you want to be in to experience dubstep in its purest form,” he said. “It’s going to be one of those nights where I show people how they want to hear dubstep with a huge bass system, to get people really involved.”

DJ Impulse headlines Saturday at Rodano’s in Wilkes-Barre.
Dubstep artist Joe Nice headlines the River Street Jazz Cafe Thursday more, and The Dime in Los Angeles, where he resides. He’s played in our area before, and he never gets tired of coming back. “It’ll be a night of good music, shots, more good music, shots, shots, shots and an all-around good time,” Impulse said. “I’m really looking forward to playing some new music, seeing familiar faces as well as meeting new ones. The crowd was so much fun the last time I was there! I plan on bringing a little L.A. flavor, and I might even break out an arsenal of inflatable animals.” “This is a special night for Wilkes-Barre,” Hersh said. “DJ Impulse is a world-class DJ who is used to playing big clubs all across the U.S., and the world for that matter. He is the caliber DJ that we rarely get to see in Wilkes-Barre, which tends to be a watered down market. Impulse is a member of a much bigger collection of DJs who are mainly out of Philadelphia called the “Skratch Makaniks,” and they represent the epitome of the DJ art form — they are recognized by other DJs, promoters and clubgoers across America as the f inest at their craft.” W

ALL ABOARD he next stop on the party train is Saturday, April 21 at Rodano’s in Wilkes-Barre, where DJ Hersh is opening up for the renowned DJ Impulse. “I picked DJ Impulse for Rodano’s because he is a DJ that can play anything for any crowd and do it flawlessly,” Hersh explained. “This is a night where Wilkes-Barre gets to catch a glimpse of the club and DJ scene that regularly is only seen in places like Vegas, L.A., New York City and other higher-end markets.” DJ Impulse frequents some of the hottest spots in the club scene including Dusk and Casbah in Atlantic City, Bond and Insert Coin(s) in Las Vegas, The Get Down in Balti-

movie review By Mike Sullivan

Weekender Correspondent
Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes and Will Sasso are ‘The Three Stooges.’
'Stooges' schticky fun I
f it was the 1940s and all of us were 10-year-old boys, it would be understandable as to why The Three Stooges are so revered, but it’s 2012 and 10-yearold boys no longer exist. We shouldn’t still be celebrating the creaky antics of three tiny men with unsettling haircuts. The Three Stooges are comedy’s greatest enemy. Far greater than tears and famine combined. Dragging their outdated and grimly unfunny sensibilities into the 21st century should be the kind of mistake that kills careers and ruins reputations. Yet, against all odds, Bobby and Peter Farelly’s eerily faithful adaptation of the old Three Stooges one-reelers is charming and, be-
lieve it or not, legitimately entertaining. And please keep in mind that this is coming from someone who hates The Three Stooges almost as much as he loves to complain about how much he hates The Three Stooges. Basically functioning as a fan film that somehow received studio funding, “The Three Stooges” finds Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos), Larry (Sean Hayes) and Curly (Will Sasso) as they attempt to save their childhood orphanage from foreclosure and wind up getting conned by Sofia Vergara’s character into murdering her husband. In essence, it’s the kind of storyline that could’ve or might’ve been the plot of any
Three Stooges short and apart from some awkward references to Facebook, “Jersey Shore” and those damn kids and their saggy, damn jeans (why, you can see their underwear!), the Farrelly brothers stick to formula and never bother to take the material in a more modern direction. At no point do any of the characters tell Moe to, “eat a bag of d--ks,” there isn’t a third-act twist where the cartoon violence suddenly takes a realistic turn nor is there a scene where it’s revealed that Shemp is Curly’s conjoined twin who occasionally emerges from Curly’s abdomen and shrieks “hibibibi” whenever he’s hungry or scared. It’s disappointing.
But what “The Three Stooges” lacks in cynicism it more than makes up for it with surrealism. Of course, the film isn’t consistently weird but the weirdness is carefully rationed out in such a way that it never fails to knock you off guard. Even though “The Three Stooges” is set in modern times, Moe, Larry and Curly talk and dress as if they’re still living in the early ’40s. The film doesn’t explain why. It also doesn’t explain why it includes a very Johnny Ryan-esque sequence in which the trio use urinating babies as weapons, visits a golf course filled with dying fish, gives us a running gag in which one of the characters wrongly assumes that Larry has
cancer or why Larry David is playing a sneering, vindictive nun. “The Three Stooges” also deserves credit for at least putting some thought into its slapstick sequences. Although, it’s still not funny watching grown men repeatedly slap each other, the pacing is a bit tighter, and the gags aren’t as blatantly telegraphed as they were in the original shorts. Although more affable than genuinely amusing, “The Three Stooges” is such an obvious passion project for the Farrelly brothers that it’s hard not to get caught up in their enthusiasm even if you loathe the original Three Stooges right down to their schticky, inhuman cores.

Record Store Day turns 5 By Bill Thomas

usic used to come in tangible form. Before it was a blip on your hard drive, it was a vinyl record, CD, cassette or eight-track tape. It was something you had to hunt down or ask the guy behind the counter to order for you special. For some, it’s still like that. For some, the thrill of the hunt is more important than the convenience of digital downloading. At Embassy Vinyl in Scranton, that guy behind the counter is owner R.J. Harrington. “When you go to a record store, you get to actually talk to people who are passionate about music,” he said. “You can go through some stuff and maybe find something cool you’ve never heard of before. It’s a cultural experience.” On Saturday, April 21, area retailers like Harrington will take part in the fifth annual Record Store Day. Their shelves will be stocked with exclusive releases from artists as varied as Bruce Springsteen, The Misfits, Katy Perry and Mastodon. All waving the flag for the mom-and-pop shops that played — and continue to play — a formative role in the development of music fans the world over.

They’re strongholds. “As much as it pained us to close some of those stores, it was something we had to do,” he said. “You can go to some big cities and not find any record stores. We’re still here with two in Wilkes-Barre alone. Two!” Though he’s optimistic about the future of the business his father started in the 1960s, Nardone is also pragmatic about the changing face of music sales, acknowledging that the old formulas no longer work. It’s tough, but it’s also something he finds exciting: Trying to stay ahead of the curve, keeping up with trends, figuring out what people want most and how best to get it in

There will always be people who want to buy CDs, for instance, but will there be enough of them?” Nardone said. “One of the big things now is people buying vinyl records again.” BACK IN BLACK usical Energi never had 11 satellite locations. It’s always been just one, starting out in the Wyoming Valley Mall before moving to downtown Wilkes-Barre in 1990. For more than 25 years, the store has been owned and operated by self-professed vinyl junkie Jay Notartomaso, During his days as a Penn State student, Notartomaso would often choose LPs over the basic creature comforts, including food. Over the past few years, the vintage format Notartomaso cherishes has made an exhilarating comeback. According to The Nielsen Company & Billboard’s 2011 Music Industry Report, sales of vinyl LPs increased 36 percent from 2010 to 2011, marking a Nielsen SoundScan sales record. No other format’s growth matched that number. “It’s not just something you do while you’re doing something else, with your headphones on and your iPod,” Notartomaso said, explaining what makes the experience of listening to records so unique. “You sit around and look at the album cover, open the

It’s a whole experience.” NO LINE ON THE HORIZON We’ve been a part of RSD since the beginning,” said Jay Yatko, a longtime employee at Wayne’s World in Dallas. “More stores are getting involved, more people are coming to purchase stuff and more artists are getting involved. The first few years, there weren’t a lot of big names doing it. Now everyone’s getting involved, from the jamband scene with The Grateful Dead and Phish doing exclusive releases to Paul McCartney to Metallica. This is the biggest year so far.” Not all shops will have the same items, and, as of press time, none of the local retailers had received their special RSD stock yet. But collectors on the prowl this weekend can try their hand at hunting down such rarities as an EP of all-new material from John “Johnny Rotten” Lydon’s Public Image Ltd or colored vinyl editions of the soundtracks to filmbuff favorites like “Pretty in

Pink” and “Empire Records.” For those who don’t want to get caught in a stampede whilst searching for that much-desired Flaming Lips double-LP or the Ozzy Osbourne “Believer” live 7-inch on Randy Rhoads-inspired polka-dot vinyl, shops will be giving away freebies ranging from Sub Pop and Metal Blade compilation CDs to a Def Jam sampler on see-through vinyl. Many shops will also offer free live performances from local musicians. Dirt Vultures, These Elk Forever and Halfling are among those artists set to play throughout the day at Embassy Vinyl, while Musical Energi will host Astorian Stigmata and Mock Sun at 6 p.m. At noon, Bret Alexander of The Badlees will perform a solo set at the Gallery of Sound on Mundy Street in Wilkes-Barre. “Not long ago, I took my kids to Gallery of Sound,” Alexander said. “As they were looking around, I realized they had never been in a record store before. They thought it was the coolest thing. There’s still something special there.” W

“Collected Poems” by Jack Gilbert Rating: W W W W W
By Kacy Muir
Weekender Correspondent
PAGE 32
I
n “Collected Poems,” Jack Gilbert showcases a breathtaking poetry collection of more than half a century’s work. Gilbert, a Pulitzer Prize finalist for poetry, has shown the world age is never a deterrent — presenting his best book of poetry in his lifetime, about his lifetime. In this collection of poetry, Gilbert has specially selected poems from each of his past collections as well as more recent pieces. Each of his poems encompasses a form that greatly varies from the next, demonstrating that Gilbert does not adhere to his poetry being defined by a precise structure. Instead, his creation of poetry stems from free verse colliding with imagery. Throughout the book, Gilbert manages to offer great clarity and candidness, making his ability to come across to readers nearly seamless. For example, in the poem “Myself Considered As The Monster In The Foreground,”
Gilbert writes: “Safe and helpless, the monster must fashion his own blessing or doom. He goes down as it is in the nature to go down but goes down with a difference, down to the mountain.” The poem, like many others throughout the collection, seems to touch upon the theme of darkness vs. light. In this case, the idea that even a monster is capable of mercy in seeking salvation — “still it is a beast bent on grace.” Other notable themes include classical mythology, music, sex and, more importantly, humanity’s struggle with mortality. The connection of these themes is appropriately compiled within the book, becoming a testament of Gilbert’s experience as a poet. The collection ultimately becomes a timeline of Gilbert’s life, taking readers through highs and lows to experimental phases of his writing. There are many standout poems throughout the book, but some personal favorites include: “House On The California Mountain”, “Fidelity” and “Midnight Is Made Of Bricks.” While an extensive compilation, readers should not find it too difficult to finish the work in a matter of days, if not hours. The poetry has a sense of rhythm and pull that becomes addictive. The vastness of the work represents Gilbert’s achievement of not only withstanding decades of literary criticism, but also time in general. More than anything, this momentous volume demonstrates Gilbert’s continued ability to shine while still maintaining a sense of humbleness throughout. Overall, Gilbert’s “Collected Poems” is an investment that will continue to have merit in the years to come. While many books come and go throughout your life, this anthology will remain an essential work.

fter spending too many days cooped up in the house and being unable to wear open-toed shoes for the majority of the winter, I think I have a bit of cabin fever or rather, spring fever. Now that the days are getting sunnier by the week and stores have put all their winter bulky items on clearance, it’s officially springtime, and I have no intentions of holding back from these trends anymore. Starting with the most obvious, you can’t go into any store nowadays without being overwhelmed by color blocking, probably the hottest trend of this year in general. While it’s easy to be attracted to the fun, bright-neon color blocking that is great for a night out, you can also color block with soft pastels for a morecasual look. It’s all about not being afraid to mix colors that pop. Usually two colors is not enough and looks unfinished — it’s best to have three different colors to complete the look, even if one of them is a neutral like white. Look for pastel denim jeans which are a great transition item because as soon
as the temperature starts to hit 80 degrees every day, you can cut those pale-pink denim jeans into the perfect summer shorts. Lace is another huge trend, in particular white lace, which pairs nicely with the pastel colors of this season. It’s a more feminine option than winter’s blacklace trend and about being soft and simple. It is easily worn and looks appealing on everyone. My simplest suggestion for updating your wardrobe from winter to spring is to stop wearing black and gray colors. It’s easy to get stuck in a wintertime rut of drab colors and blend in with the crowd, but once the sun’s out, you want the colors you wear to be as bright and cheerful as possible. Pastels are huge. A pale pink, yellow or blue addition to your wardrobe can be just the thing you need to get you out of that wintertime funk. Even if it’s just simple going from black nail polish to a pale pink, it’s all about fun playful colors to get you in the mood for spring and summer sunshine. W

bitch & brag By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
Bet that’s not the finger the people behind him are holding up ...
Amanda’s Brag: If you‘re a girl who loves trying new beauty products, you’ve got to get a Birchbox subscription! Like most women, I love trying out new nail polishes, makeup, hair products and moisturizers, but I hate the price tag that comes with an item that you’re not sure you’re actually going to like. Birchbox is a monthly subscription to beauty-product samples that allows you to try what’s new without breaking the bank. It’s easy and affordable. For a $10 monthly subscription, you fill out your beauty profile and mark off the specifics you’re interested in, everything from noting you prefer organic products or sensitive skin to just wanting to experiment with new looks. Then, once a month, you receive a box full of deluxe-sized samples of new
products. Last month, I got some awesome on-trend Zoya Nail Polish, a hair tie that doesn’t leave that annoying “I-had-my-hair-in-aponytail” bump, some new perfume and amazing hair-shine serum. I was iffy about subscribing at first because I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t want to end up blowing $10 a month on samples I could just get at the mall. Thankfully, my friend gave me a three-month subscription for my birthday (yes, you can do that for the girly girl in your life, too!), and now I’m hooked. It’s the best mail you’ll look forward to getting every month, and the most exciting part? You never know what’s going to be inside! Men, don’t feel too left out. The site is actually in beta testing for men’s Birchbox’s, too! When I stumble upon must-haves, fun new products and steals and deals, I feel like it’s my duty to pass it on. I think my April Birchbox comes this week … ooh, I can’t wait! W
Birchbox, a girly girl’s new BFF.

How about a mandatory age when you must be retested? And let’s throw in a few commonsense rules: 1.) You must be able to actually see over the windshield. 2.) Your glasses cannot be thicker than your windshield. 3.) You have to drive fast enough that the speedometer needle actually moves. Granted, texting and talking on a cell isn’t the smartest thing to do behind the wheel, but it’s no more dangerous than the crowd rushing out for that “early bird” special at the Old Country Buffet.
PAGE 43
Jeff’s Bitch: It’s fashionable lately to make the phone texters and cell-phone users the poster child for bad driving. I don’t think we’re giving senior citizens enough credit here. Seriously, we have to wait until a certain age for the privilege to drive. Doesn’t it also make sense that at some age people should be retested to insure they have their full faculties? I’m not trying to beat up on anyone’s granny but let’s face it: Your vision and hearing aren’t getting any sharper. And reflexes? Timing that Metamucil and a trip down the hallway to the bathroom becomes an issue. I was watching an elderly man attempt to back out of the Schiel’s parking lot in WilkesBarre last week, and it was like watching a slow-motion car crash. No cars on either side, none behind him. After taking a good 45 seconds to back up, he then caromed off the cement base of a light pole. Right fender gone. Of course, the boat he was driving was so large, I really don’t think he realized he just pulled his front fender partially off the car as he tore off into traffic at a good 3 to 4 miles an hour. We’ve all had the joy of almost hitting the brakes on Interstate 81 as you come up behind an old Caddy chugging along at a brisk 40 mph, half in and half out of the breakdown lane.

Pin-up primping

A
few weeks ago I was speaking with Angie Morgan, owner of The Sapphire Salon and Destination Spa, about a new feature she was launching at her Pittston location: A pin-up style package in which a woman can dress in this period and have a photo session. Bringing in photographer Robin Palmer for this special package, a woman can feel like a starlet for the day. Read a little more about our conversation. WEEKENDER: What does the pin-up girl package include? MORGAN: The pin-up packages include everything from head to toe! We have three packages available and others can be customized based on your needs and budget. One more popular package is Package 1, which includes a professional makeup session, vintage hairstyling and manicure, professional coaching, one wardrobe change (props included), an edited disc of images and a glass of wine or champagne with chocolate-covered strawberries. WEEKENDER: Are there any restrictions? MORGAN: (Must be) 18 years of age and up for the woman who wants to do this for herself or give it as a gift. WEEKENDER: Tell us about your photographer and how you got her on board. MORGAN: Robin Palmer is our photographer, and she is amazing! A very passionate and humble soul, she is warm and approachable, which makes your session with her very comfortable and relaxing. Robin has a background in fashion and trends, so she has the trained eye to look at
someone and know what is flattering and what is not. WEEKENDER: How long does a session take? MORGAN: The session from start to finish, depending on the package and wardrobe changes, can range from two to five hours. WEEKENDER: Do the women supply their own wardrobe? MORGAN: Prior to the session, we set up a consultation, and during the consultation, we talk about what look would be most flattering and what outfits the woman should bring. We have outfits and props available at no extra charge as well. WEEKENDER: How much does it cost for a customer? MORGAN: The packages begin at $280, and they can be customized for any budget. WEEKENDER: Have you shot any pin-up girls yet? MORGAN: We just recently shot some local high-profile women; you’ll be seeing them over the next few weeks. WEEKENDER: Why do you think the pin-up girl style is so popular right now? MORGAN: I think the popularity of this sexy and classy style is showcased by celebrities during red carpet events, award shows, print work and even runway. After Angie told me of this creative concept, she asked if I would like to experience it for myself and kick off the new Weekender Pin-Up Girl of the Week series. Me? Be a starlet for the day? Why yes, yes I think I shall. See the adjacent page to see my very own pin-up photo session. W

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2012
By Caeriel Crestin
Weekender Correspondent TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Some of your past failed relationships didn’t work out because you ignored glaring red flags or simply single-mindedly kept your eye on “the prize” (i.e. the relationship you wanted), instead of observing and working with what was actually there. The ends do not justify the means here any more than they do elsewhere. Your desire to have the relationships you imagine is understandable, but allowing that desire to eclipse the relationships you actually have is a mistake. This week, refocus on how great those connections are instead of on all the ways they’re supposedly lacking. You’re luckier than you think. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) You can’t protect other people from their own choices, especially when it comes to relationships. Just look at the futile, counterproductive efforts parents make when their teenage children select unsuitable partners. Their best intentions usually blow up in their faces; so, unfortunately, will yours. This is one of those times where you kind of have to be supportive, regardless of how you actually feel. Hopefully, they’ll figure out what you know all on their own. In the meantime, maybe you’ll discover a thing or two, too — like maybe their choices aren’t as bad as you initially thought. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) I’ve never met anyone who can make such a big deal out of turning down a wedding invitation (or the like) as a Cancer can. Forgoing events you’d rather not participate in — office lunches, parties, etc. — isn’t the complicated and dramatic affair you sometimes make it out to be. Even if the reasons you don’t want to attend are huge and emotional inside your head, they don’t need to be part of your explanation. Cite a busy work schedule or previous obligation, and leave it at that. Of course, if you’re just bored and want the drama, go ahead and hint at other reasons until it all comes out in the open — but that’s on you.
use your powers for good, not evil! VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Virgos are in most cases lovely, laid-back individuals. But every one of you has a hot-button topic or two that can transform you from a chill companion to an irate, snarling bulldog who will not let an issue go once you’ve clenched it in your jaws. Learning to recognize when to simply and gracefully drop the subject is a skill you should acquire, quickly, lest your tenacity get you into all kinds of trouble. Your determination is a good thing; when it crosses over into intractable stubbornness, however, you’re ultimately mostly just biting yourself in the ass. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) When we act out of fear, we often do precisely the things most likely to cause our fears and anxieties to become manifest. Partners worried about their lovers cheating can grow so jealous, suspicious, nosy and unpleasant to be around that the prospect of an affair becomes increasingly tantalizing. Acting out of your most worried impulses will only make them much more likely to come true, so try to resist it. That’s not to say you should blind yourself to real, obvious evidence that things are not cool — but in the absence of such, assuming that everything’s more or less OK is probably the best way to go.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) When the close-mindedness of others becomes obvious and outspoken, speaking up is generally an admirable thing to do. It’s not always prudent or wise, however. Sometimes tact provides a better outcome than righteous valor. While defending others from intolerance and bigotry should be a no-brainer, simply correcting people’s narrow-minded opinions about this issue or that trend is more of a pick-your-battles type thing. Often, it’s worth your while to speak up and present a worldlier viewpoint; occasionally, like this week, the smartest and most productive thing to do is just keep your mouth shut. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Your love of freedom, like so many things, is both strength and weakness. Occasionally, it’s made you prone to misinterpreting circumstances in such a way that it seems like it’s “time to move on” long before it actually is. What if that omen wasn’t an omen and causes you to exit a situation that might have been perfect for the long-term if you weren’t so triggerhappy and ready to split at the first hint of trouble? Stop shooting yourself in the foot with your overzealous flight instinct or you’ll never be sure when it’s actually time to stop running on to the next thing and just stick around to see what happens instead. It might be pretty cool. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Butt out, and let people make their stupid mistakes. You ought to know by now that offering unsolicited advice to certain people
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) When people are deeply angry, they sometimes irrationally lash out at whoever’s nearby — which is almost never the “deserving” party. While these poor recipients (often messengers bearing bad news) almost always get an apology after the fact, that doesn’t erase the sting of suffering in the first place. Because of who you are and how you deal with stuff, it was probably relatively easy for you to forgive and forget when this kind of thing happened to you. Other people, though, are less emotionally resilient — this week, though, you may be able to help them along a little. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) There are always shit-stirrers — people who, for whatever reason(s), enjoy getting others riled up any way they can (on online forums they’re called “trolls”). The problem is, they are generally very good at what they do, and it’s extremely hard for the average person to resist rising to the bait they set. That, naturally, is your task this week. It may require the patience of a set and the restraint of a brain surgeon, but do whatever you can to avoid engaging with the trolls in your life; even though it’ll suck in the moment, overall you’ll be much happier for it. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) People make mistakes. While the rational part of you can of course understand and want to forgive and forget those errors, your emotional side may have more trouble. When their screw-ups cause you pain, embarrassment or suffering, you may be filled with rage or sadness or vindictiveness towards them. Acting on those understandable feelings, however, would be something you’d regret later. This is when you pull out one of those cliches, like “What would Jesus/Buddha/Big Bird Do?,” and behave accordingly, even if you don’t feel it. Years from now, when the sting of your feelings has faded, you’ll be so glad you managed to behave like a saint. W To contact Caeriel, e-mail sign.language.astrology@gmail.com.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Bullies take many forms; in childhood, they’re often quite visible and obvious. Adults, however, are more subtle. Leos can be bullies, too, but generally you only throw your weight around for others’ benefit (as you perceive it, anyway), so it’s not as awful as those who sadistically take pleasure in others’ pain or discomfort. Of course, your ability to get your way can come in handy when it comes to taking down more malevolent bullies. This week, knock them down a peg or two. And make sure you always

in your life is rarely received well, even though it’d spare the recipients so much suffering and embarrassment if they’d just listen to you. It’s probably going to be very hard for you to resist trying, anyway, this week, because of how boneheaded and shortsighted people can sometimes be. However, since speaking up is just going to get you snapped at and cause conflict, biting your tongue and allowing people to fall flat on their faces is, sadly, the only real way to go.

ear Mom & Dad, From now on if you wanna ask me to take out the garbage, you’ll have to call my new 888 number. That’s right, I have my own hotline! Being the Z-List pop-culture icon that I am, I joined forces with www.Dial-A-Star.com! The new website is a unique service that allows you to connect directly with celebrities on the phone. Among my newest trailblazing colleagues are Nadya “Octomom” Suleman, Dina and Michael Lohan, Tila Tequila, some porn stars and the man who holds the Guinness World Records for owning the largest limousine: Limo Bob. I dare you to tell me you’re not proud. Everyone participating holds a different agenda: Octomom is respectfully trying to wean herself off welfare, Dina Lohan is determined to set the record straight from inaccuracies in the media, Michael Lohan is doing it for charity, and Limo Bob is presumably taking calls for gas money. The reason I jumped on board is to raise money to go back to college. The only reason I embarked on an endeavor to Tokyo to compete on the ABC reality series “I Survived A Japanese Game Show” in the first place, which helped land me on Dial-A-Star, was to have a shot at the grand prize of $250,000 and pay off my student loans. I was determined to
show America how desperate my generation was to pay off school debts. Instead, I showed America what a grown man with hair on his chest looks like wearing a diaper while running around an obstacle course. Since launching a few weeks ago, the site has captivated the world, gaining more attention as each day passes. It seems everybody is talking about DialA-Star, including Howard Stern, CNN, TMZ, even “The Morning Show” in Australia! Whether you want to admit it or not, the concept is brilliant. A oneon-one conversation is way more intimate than a press release from a publicist. So, WTF are people going to call and ask me? I can answer what it’s like being followed by cameras 24/7 on a reality show, extend college advice and let you know if I’ll take out the garbage, Mom & Dad ... Love and tacos, Justin W Call Justin’s Dial-A-Star hotline at 1.888.695.4543 ext. 108431 and visit Dial-A-Star.com for the complete list of celebs that are only a phone call away!
