Letter from the editor
There are many reasons why I love summer, and the fact that I’m a June baby is just a small part of it (especially now that the big day has come and gone). It’s not just the cookouts that I adore, which I very much do, but I just plum love summer concert season. I’ve always been a big music fan, and I’ve always gone to a lot of concerts, a fact that I keep well-documented in my — nerd alert! — ticket-stub book. Sometimes I think I love putting the stub in the next open slot almost as much as I love attending the show, but that could just be my OCD talking. This year, I can’t wait to add my first Paul McCartney stub to the book — the legend’s ticket will be among quite distinguished peers: Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Neil Young, and of course, how do I not mention my vast collection of Poison tickets, all 14 of them? Clearly I jest because I have a sneaking suspicion that Sir Paul is

To keep with the concert theme of this letter, check out our cover story interview on page 14 with Kristian Bush of Sugarland, the band that’ll officially kick off the summer concert season here in Northeastern Pennsylvania this weekend. Also in this week’s issue, you can find out, among other things, that an area sled-hockey team is in the works (p. 19), who exactly Tom Moran of the River Street Jazz Cafe is (p. 46) and what the Music Box Dinner Playhouse has up its curtain for its 30th anniversary shows (p. 53). I hope to see many of you out and about at this year’s concerts. E-mail me at the address below to let me know what your greatest concert was, and as always, thanks for reading!.

Weekender Correspondent
Another reason I should be in prison suggested, while dancing on top of the counter to the sound of my roommate screaming things in Egyptian. “We still have dishes!â€? noticed my roommate. So, we did what any two Buseys hanging out together would do. We broke into the vacant apartment across the hall and smashed all of the dishes. We smashed them on the walls, on the floor, through the window! We were destructive as f--ck, but it felt so therapeutic! A few days later, we had a tearful goodbye as we left our apartment and a shitload of damages across the hall. Sorry, Mom and Dad ‌ breaking into a vacant apartment and vandalizing the shit out of it is wrong. But if you ever smash an entire set of dishes, you’ll understand how awesome it feels.

ear Mom & Dad, There are many stupid things I’ve done that I probably should have went to jail for. Some of them you’ll never find out about — unless you offer me money, in which case I’m an open book. As for now, here’s one of those reasons I’m willing to confess to you: You know that my favorite roommate ever was the Egyptian I lived with in Los Angeles. He was like a foster brother to me, only neither of us was ever in foster care. After three months of living together, he was moving to Dubai to conquer a great career opportunity. Even though we only lived together for a few months, we have memories that will last a lifetime. One of my favorite being our last hoorah! Our apartment was practically empty as we were both about to have new homes in a few days. So, we decided to get out and have a wild night at The Standard downtown. We had our typical “night out� fun — which included my roommate slipping into an Egyptian accent to freak people out and me curled fetal position in an elevator drunk texting everyone in my contact list that I was in love with them. By the time we got home, we were so wasted that we were acting like two Gary Buseys in the company of one another, which could never be a good thing. “Let’s call the cops and say someone stole all the furniture!� I

or those keeping score at home, Justin Timberlake is down to his last strike. A couple weeks ago, “The Ralphie Radio Show” beat the New York Post’s Page 6 to a story about Timberlake bringing rumored-girlfriend Olivia Wilde to Southern Hospitality, a barbeque restaurant in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen district that he co-created. The pop star and actress ate alone in a private room before joining others who were in attendance for owner Eytan Sugarman’s birthday party. Timberlake did not tip his server. Well, once again “The RRS” can reveal that Timberlake was at Southern Hospitality, this time on Tuesday night. You might already know this though, because plenty of paparazzi followed him there. Once again, Timberlake ate in a secluded area; this time surrounded by, amongst others, his father Randall, Sugarman, and Mary Kate Olsen. And once again, the man with an estimated net worth of $70 million failed to leave his server a dime. What makes this whole situation even more perplexing is that Timberlake was obviously in a good mood. Before sitting down for dinner, he and his dad took in a Broadway show, “The Book of Mormon.” After the show, the cast came down to Southern Hospitality, and my source reveals that JT took care of the bar bill for the Broadway actors and actresses. Perhaps Mr. Timberlake was too busy trying to hit a home run with Wilde to realize he’s about to strike out with this whole Southern Hospitality thing?

Front man Travis Clark announced on “The RRS” that the nod to the band’s Floridian-roots may serve as the title for their third album. “It was created by our bass player,” Clark said of “Sunshine State of Mind.” “(Drew Thomsen) just said it, and we were like, ‘Oh, that’s really cool.’” Clark was home, celebrating his birthday with family and friends when he dropped the news. “Right now, the tentative (release) date is going to be late June,” Clark said. “Obviously it’s going to be on a Tuesday … maybe the 28 of June, maybe a week before, maybe a week after.” The first single is called, “Friday is Forever.” No, Rebecca Black did not inspire the song, but that doesn’t mean WTK didn’t have a little fun with Black’s notoriously-popular YouTube video in promoting its own single. Clark says the band contacted the same company that produced the “big head” commercials for the National Basketball Association. But the band not only used its own heads, but throughout the video the faces of everyone from Charlie Sheen to Angelica from the popular Nickelodeon cartoon “Rugrats” can be spotted. As brilliant as the production is — Clark says that it will not serve as the official music video. The actual piece was recently filmed in Los Angeles and is available W on YouTube now.

THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT! -- Several funeral homes in the United States have drive-thru windows to serve rushed mourners or those stressed by the parlor experience. “Not quite as emotional,” said one visitor to the Robert L. Adams Mortuary in Compton, Calif., referring to the need not to linger in the queue of bereaved, idling motorists. The Adams facility was even more popular during the peak of gang murders in the area, according to an April Los Angeles Times report, because the drive-thru window’s bulletproof glass rendered unnecessary the precarious indoor service in which gangbangers tried to further desecrate late rivals’ corpses. FINE POINTS OF THE LAW Because of a loophole in Michigan law (which, at press time, legislators were working to fix), a winner of the “Make Me Rich” lottery game in July 2010 (publicized value: $2 million) has been openly receiving the same foodstamp allotment he had been receiving before he won. In May 2011, confronted by WNEM-TV in Saginaw, winner Leroy Fick was defiant about his food stamps. Currently, eligibility is based on regular income, and Fick had taken his payoff last year in one lump sum.
cer Hospital removed the middle of Smith’s leg, turned the bottom of it around so that the back faces the front, and reconnected the parts. (2) According to a February report in China’s Wuhan Morning News, a 55-yearold farmer from Jiayu county in Hubei province finally has a functioning anus. His congenital condition had required him to restrict his diet severely and to “squeeze stools out with his hands.” LEADING ECONOMIC INDICATORS Good Jobs: (1) Prison Guard (“the greatest entry-level job in California,” according to an April Wall Street Journal report highlighting its benefits over a typical job resulting from a Harvard University education). Starting pay is comparable; loans are not necessary (since the guard “academy” actually pays the student); and vacation time is more generous (seven weeks, five paid). One downside: The prison system is more selective (Harvard accepts 6.2 percent of applicants versus the guard service’s fewer-than-1 percent of 120,000 applicants). (2) California taxpayers were also astonished to learn in May that several beach communities (led by Newport Beach) pay some lifeguards more than $100,000 annually in salary and benefits. (Generally, those are for long-time and supervisory jobs; ordinary “summer job” lifeguards typically make $16 to $22 an hour.) WEIRD ANIMALS -- Cat Failing to Know Its Role: In Cleveland, Texas (near Houston), a man had to be airlifted to an emergency trauma unit after losing a fight with a house cat. He was even armed with a knife as he took on the beast, but
somehow the attacking cat caused him to lose his balance and fall on the blade. -- Procreation Interventions: (1) Because female giant tortoises are lackadaisical about mating, the Knoxville (Tenn.) Zoo in May temporarily moved its two males, Al and Tex, to Zoo Atlanta to encourage Knoxville females Patches, Corky and Standup to yearn for them. Tex, by the way, is 90 years old, and Al is 130 (and hasn’t had a date since 1983, according to a May Knoxville News-Sentinel story). (2) Hopewell Township, N.J., officials, responding to noise complaints in April, passed an ordinance limiting rooster access to hens to only 10 days a year. (The chickens also must, of course, be “disease-free.”) QUESTIONABLE JUDGMENTS Oklahoma inmate Eric Torpy has served only six years of his 33-year sentence for armed robbery, but already he is looking ahead to the years 2035-2038. His original sentence was 30 years, but he challenged the judge that if he was “going down,” it would be in “Larry Bird’s jersey” — the number 33 worn by the basketball player. Judge Ray Elliott then accommodated Torpy by adding three years. Said Torpy, in May, “Recently, I’ve wisened up.” “I’m pretty sure (Bird) thinks I’m an idiot. (T)ruthfully, most people do. My own family does, so I’m pretty sure he does, too.”

A prominent member of the U.S. “vampire community” fondly described the “intriguing” olfactory sensations of Type B (the “black cherry, pomegranate and patchouli infusions”) and Type O (“raspberry, rose hips and birch”). Another “vampirist” called the whole idea “cheesy.”

SEE NO ENEMA A 53-year-old man with failing eyesight and who had recently undergone intestinal surgery told Sonoma, Calif., police that on Sunday afternoon, May 1, a woman had come to his home and instructed him to drop his pants and get face-down on the bed so that she could administer an enema. He said he assumed his doctor had sent her and thus complied, and it was over in two minutes, and she was gone. The doctor later said he had no idea who the woman was. (In the 1970s, in the Champaign, Ill., area, Michael Kenyon operated similarly as the “Illinois Enema Bandit” — and inspired the late Frank Zappa’s “Illinois Enema Bandit Blues.”)

ugarland’s “The Incredible Machine Tour” is back. In 2010, the country duo of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush hit the road months before the album of the same name was released. That disc is now a platinum seller, and Sugarland is hitting the road with it once again. “This year, we kind of get the victory lap,” Bush said in an early-May phone interview with the Weekender to advance the band’s Saturday, June 18 performance at Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton with opener Sara Bareilles. “The excitement of a rock show can happen two ways: Playing songs you don’t know, and ‘Oh, my gosh, I know all these songs.’ Last year was the first, this year is the second.” Touring an album before it is released is a throwback to the ’60s and ’70s when bands were constantly road-testing new material. In Sugarland’s case, the new material that makes up
“The Incredible Machine” was designed to be played on tour. “The logic of it is pretty simple,” Bush said. “What’s great about this new record is, even when people haven’t heard it, the songs are pretty anthemic and easy to connect with. They were written to be played in arenas, auditoriums and amphitheaters. “The gist of what we do as songwriters and recording artists — and especially having the joy of doing them live — our job is to communicate with as many people as we can. In order to communicate through those great big speakers at the top of the room, you have to be conscious of what you are and what you are doing in terms of subtlety. It’s a little more about simplicity, which is harder than you think.” Creating songs for arenas doesn’t take place in the studio. “It happens when you write the song,” he said. “When we went to arena-rock shows as kids, there were some songs that really worked. It can’t be based
on four or five guitar parts at the same time. You’ll never hear them all.” It took awhile, Bush said, to figure out how to make records that connect with an audience, fit arenas and still work musically. He learned from producer Hugh Padgham, who’s worked with the likes of The Police, Phil Collins and Elton John, and from trial and error in the studio. “I finally have a grasp on how to make records that, wherever you put them, are enthralling,” Bush said. “That’s what you’re trying to do in the studio.” Not only were the songs written and recorded with arenas in mind, the show was put together to most effectively bring those songs — and Sugarland — to the audience. “It’s really been a beautiful experience putting this show together,” Bush said. “We wrote the record at the same time we were designing the stage. I tried to find a reference for it, like a David Bowie tour. But I couldn’t find anything. We got a chance to design everything together.”

but then again ...
t’s a strange thing, to have your biggest fear and your greatest hope revolve around the idea that you’ll someday end up washing your hair with handsoap in a public restroom. But for Brian Sella, the charmingly quirky vocalist and guitarist of New Jersey band the Front Bottoms, that peculiar love/hate relationship with a nomadic lifestyle, and the lifestyle associated with touring, is just another part of living the dream. The band, which is composed of Sella and drummer Matt Uychich, was recently signed to indie label Bar/None Records and will be performing at Scranton’s Vintage Theater Thursday, June 16. The Front Bottoms’ self-titled debut album is scheduled to drop later this summer, but in the meantime, the band has given potential and current fans something to be excited about by posting a video for the song “Maps” on YouTube. In addition to showcasing a catchy hook, the video also features an underutilized element in entertainment — a
puppet — which serves to prove how unafraid the band is to march to the beat of its own drum. Or specifically, to the beat of Uychich’s drumming, which Sella has described as being quite loud. Considering the fact that the band is basically a duo (barring a few guest musicians, one of which will be performing with them in Scranton), and that Sella plays an acoustic guitar, this has an impact on its sound. “It’s semi-acoustic, because I’m playing an acoustic guitar,” Sella explained while en route to a gig. “But Matt slams on the drums so hard, that they just have to turn the acoustic guitar basically all the way up every time we play. So it is an acoustic show, but it’s really not. It’s more of an electric show, which is awesome.” Sella, who noted that the band has only performed a cover once in its entire existence, first heard the term “front bottoms” in the movie “Sexy Beast” and fell in love with its beguiling eccentricity. “I’m pretty sure it means someone’s private parts, but I liked the way that it rolls off the tongue,” he quipped. “Actually, I wanted to make a band because I thought of that name … I was like now that I have this awesome name, I’ve got
to do something with it. I was either going to write a book or start a band, and I’m not a very good writer, so the band was my only option.” The way Sella comes up with lyrics comes from the same completely honest place. He explained that he finds human interactions to be fascinating, and he finds his inspiration in the subtleties of those communications. “Somebody will just say one sentence that won’t even be in context, or anything, and it’ll just kind of stick with me, and I’ll try to come up with an entire song based off of one or two lines,” he said. And the whole handsoap thing? That’s from the resonant “Maps,” and has to do with Sella’s fear and fascination with following what he feels is his path. Part of the band’s appeal is its ability to balance the quirk with authenticity, which is pretty much summed up in that lyric. Talking to Sella, one gets the impression that he and his bandmate are just two guys doing what they love, and their modesty and gratitude become apparent when the conversation switches to the comparisons that have been made between them and other bands like Matt and Kim and They Might Be Giants. “Anybody that is doing their thing in music, and able to reach a large audience of people, is basically my hero, no matter how small or big the band is,” he said. “If you’re able to connect with people on a greater level through music, that’s an awesome feeling … If somebody feels that we will maybe be able to connect with people on the same level that they do, you can’t be mad at that. I’m super happy about it.” W The Front Bottoms, with A Fire With Friends, Silhouette Lies and The Mockingbirds, Thurs., June 16, doors 7 p.m., The Vintage Theater (119 Penn Avenue, Scranton). $6.
Disgraced representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY)
What a Weiner I must admit I don’t follow politics. As a matter of fact, I don’t follow very much of what the world considers the latest breaking news. Unless it’s along the lines of “Northeast Pennsylvania Braces For Tsunami,” I don’t pay it much heed. My interests lie somewhere in between news of the forthcoming apocalypse and “News of the Weird:” Off-beat and quirky stuff. Man bites dog, dog sprouts wings. But the latest news cycle coverage of the story of pathetic Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), and his Internet escapades has caught my eye. Mostly because he tweeted his hairless six-pack abs and his wiener-stuffed BVDs to young ladies and didn’t, apparently, get a bite. Or anything else for that matter. Then the man who represents 654,360 folks in Queens and Brooklyn lied his behind off about it. I have taught a class about using computers for a few years at Luzerne County Community College, and one of the most important points that I try to make to my students is that nothing done on the Internet or, for that matter, on a computer is private. Everything leaves a trail, is traceable and can and will come back to haunt you, most likely at the worst possible time. Ask any pedophile in jail for downloading his fix via Limewire or whatever. Or
now ask Rep. Anthony Weiner D-NY. Several interesting things about this whole deal. Mr. Weiner (I will not, shall not, stoop to making any “wiener” jokes Besides, it’s spelled different) works for New York, the same state that gave us “Client 9,” otherwise known as whore-loving Eliot Spitzer. At least Spitzer had the decency to come clean, so to speak. Possibly there is something in the water in New York? Mr. Weiner is married, at least until she wises up, to Huma Abedin, a longtime personal aide of Hillary Clinton, and the ceremony was officiated by none other than I-Did-Not-Have-Sexual-Relations-With-That-Woman, Bill Clinton himself. Is it just me? Or is reality getting too weird to handle? Mr. Weiner has steadfastly refused to resign. He knows that this story will blow over, so to speak, and people will forget and forgive. The next news cycle will find something else to blather about. I am betting you haven’t seen the end of Weiner — although apparently several million have. W Reach Jim at contact@jamesrising.com.

Startup sled-hockey team gave disabled vet new lease on life

he solid black hockey puck hit the ice and bounced slightly before settling on the smooth surface. Stick met puck, guiding it forward time and time again in a graceful and coordinated dance. A quick shot sent it flying toward a spot on the wall — the target an invisible goal. Blades cut thin lines as they glided around turn after turn. The player made one final lap, and came to a stop at the small door on the side of the wall surrounding the rink. Slowly, he got up from the sled he had been riding, balancing on one leg as he left the ice. Earl Granville lost his left leg while deployed in Afghanistan in 2008. But that has not stopped him from participating in the things he enjoys in life. Instead, he has adapted to his disability, and with that has come the beginning of a sled hockey team at the Revolution Ice Centre in Pittston. Granville said that he had played sled hockey as part of his rehabilitation and really enjoyed it. “In the beginning, when this all happened, I wasn’t sure,” he said. “It would be up in the air about me playing sports again. Out of everything I’ve done sportswise with a disability, hockey is something I always came back to. I moved back home to Pennsylvania and thought I’d maybe try to get a team here.” He said he began going to the Revolution Ice Center, where he met Ed Von Lumm, director of marketing for the facility. Together, the two began making plans for a team and were soon joined by Miguel Such, who Lumm said is in a wheelchair from a traffic accident.
Earl Granville, Miguel Such and Ed Von Lumm are in the process of building a sled-hockey team for the disabled. Below, Granville takes to the ice.
“I think hockey has helped to give me my own independence. No matter what happens to you in life, it’s not going to be the end.” Earl Granville
While the team is still in the works and has yet to be named, Granville said there are a few people interested in it. “It’s building slowly, but we’re gonna get there,” he said. “I’d love to get in touch with the disabled community in the area and see if they would be interested in playing as well. He said he feels that this is a great way for members of the disabled community to enjoy more aspects of life that others would not think they are capable of and spread the message that just because someone is disabled doesn’t mean they aren’t capable of playing sports.
has helped to give me my own independence. No matter what happens to you in life, it’s not going to be the end. You can still take care of yourself. You can still live an active, independent lifestyle, no matter what your injuries are or what life will throw at you.” Granville said he not only plays sled hockey, but snowboards, hand cycles and scuba dives as well, and plans on going mountain climbing. But for now, he said he is not planning on working on other sports teams for the disabled and just wants to get the sled hockey team up and running. He said there are plans for a possible tournament this summer, and he hopes that people come out to support the team. “When we start getting our tournament dates set up and team going, come on out. Check us out. Come support sled hockey and see what a wonderful sport it is.” W

ucy Hull is not your ordinary librarian. Outside her bookish ways and love for all things literature, she becomes the sole person to not only embrace individualism, but also seek freedom from monotony. In “The Borrowers,” by Rebecca Makkai, writers are introduced to a tiny fictionalized town in Missouri where 10-year-old Ian Drake desperately seeks adventure and knowledge without filter. Ian is trapped in a bubble composed of hypocritical ideology and suppression. Much of his knowledge stems subliminally from parents who deny him nearly everything but a list of approved and disapproved. Lucy becomes the one person who helps Ian in pursuit of his happiness and individualism. While Ian would much rather be like his counterparts — boisterous and venture seeking, his mother denies him many freedoms in order to achieve greater good by ridding all possible “evils” around her son. Those evils include, but are not limited to, progressive theories and beliefs outside the strict Drake
family fundamentals, with topics including historical turning points such as Darwin’s theory of evolution and themes of magic, science fiction and culture. The novel, though seemingly lighthearted, exhibits some rather adult themes, especially regarding Ian’s Christian fundamentalist upbringing. However, Makkai does well to balance the seriousness of such themes by incorporating exploration and hope. There are many literary references embedded throughout the book. Especially notable is the nod to Roald Dahl, author of “Matilda.” Similarly, Lucy is reminiscent of Miss Honey, only with much added quirk. Throughout the book, readers can observe that Lucy’s life imitates her work. For example, when describing her residence, readers see books stacked high in corners of her home — Lucy having read them all if not more than once. Readers also come to understand that Lucy escaped from her family. Raised as the daughter of two taxing parents in Chicago, she moved to Missouri to find a life of her own. In many ways she seems alone, like Ian, but together, they become an unlikely pair. Once Ian begins to realize that the list of disapproved offsets approved, he runs away. The home he leaves is one he was never comfortable with, making him in many ways similar to Dahl’s Matilda. However, while similarities do exist between the characters, Makkai’s novel remains more inspired than anything. As a newcomer, Makkai is well-read and has great ability to compose a novel with staying power. Evidence of such is garnered from her vivid and captivating storytelling, which becomes difficult to stop reading. “The Borrowers” is a sentimental book with many messages, among them, to seek individualism no matter what the cost.

movie review
From right, Kyle Chandler as Jackson Lamb, Joel Courtney as Joe Lamb, Elle Fanning as Alice Dainard and Ron Eldard as Louis Dainard) in ‘Super 8.’
Spellbinding ‘Super 8’
Director J.J. Abrams (“Star Trek”) has mastered a forgotten art: Creating a summer blockbuster with soul. His latest, “Super 8,” is really a revealing character study punctuated by bursts of excitement. Dialogue matters. Characters aren’t created solely to run away from explosions. You don’t get bombarded with spectacle — you care what happens to the people onscreen. For a generation of moviegoers raised on CGI, “Super 8” is a revelation. Moviegoers over the age of 30 will revel in the Steven Spielberg-inspired tactic and wonder why it ever went out of style. It’s the summer of 1979 in working-class Lillian, Ohio,
where young Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney) is going through a rough patch. He’s clinging to the memory of his dead mother, while his deputy father (Kyle Chandler) looks at him as an obstacle from his job and crippling grief. Thankfully, Joe has a few distractions, including helping his friend Charles (Riley Griffiths) on his zombie film. Charles decides that his script needs a love interest, which requires the services of middle school dish Alice (Elle Fanning). Her first scene is shot at the train station, and the covert midnight shoot starts strong. Alice is outstanding, and an approaching train promises atmosphere. The excitement turns to terror when a car drives into the train, causing a
spectacular derailment. Running for their lives between plummeting scraps of flaming metal, the cast and crew emerge unscathed. Questions emerge after the adrenaline subsides. Why did the kids’ biology teacher drive the truck? What are all those white, weird-shaped cubes? Soon people go missing, car engines and microwaves disappear, and Deputy Lamb can’t get straight answers from military personnel. Something is askew, and Joe and his friends have seen something huge, but what exactly? Abrams’ restraint is what makes “Super 8” so compelling. It’s not until the last 20 minutes that we see exactly what is terrorizing the town. Not
every clue means something. The mystery builds, we become invested in what’s happening, and then pow! — Abrams jolts us. Special effects are used sparingly, but effectively. It’s almost as if the director wants us to pay attention. Abrams’ script subtly and constantly offers insight to the characters. Alison’s father (Ron Eldard) is clearly the town screw-up. It’s never said outright, but the shabby home and his Iggy Pop haircut give it away. When Deputy Lamb and his men talk strategy over pizza, slices reserved for Joe get eaten. It’s a little reminder that the kid has to fend for himself. Alice’s performance at the train station is all that Joe — and everyone else — needs to fall in
love with her. When Alice begs Joe not to let Charles destroy his model train for a pivotal scene, we know the feeling is mutual. It helps that the acting is uniformly excellent. The kids act like kids (even Fanning); old pros like Chandler and Eldard alternately show and hide their frayed edges like any normal adult. Spielberg served as a producer on “Super 8,” which is fitting. It feels like the kind of movie he used to make, an honest-togoodness adventure that opens our eyes to the value of story and gooses our imagination. The great director’s presence makes it clear that he views Abrams as the next great multiplex hope. It’s not a wasted endorsement.

eality and art are like rebellious twins. They’re similar in appearance, but constantly try to alter themselves to abstain from being like the other. No matter how many attempts to avoid the inevitable, they still manage to influence their counterpart. In this case, the theatrical art of professional wrestling has affected the lives of many. This was made evident when fans mourned the recent passing of professional wrestling veteran, “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Instead of sporting a tuxedo, fogging up the lens of black shades and sitting through moments of silence, five bands from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area — Stephen Bloom of Skyhook Mandate, Vice and Virtue, Donnie and Steve from The Amadans, Down to Six and Silhouette Lies — are going to suit up like “Macho Man” did, and celebrate his life, rather than mourn his death. On Friday, June 17, New Visions Studio & Gallery in Scranton is hosting the five local bands to perform in an event titled, “Wrestle & Rock: A Punk/Metal Tribute to ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage.” Adam Weitzenkorn, the owner of New Visions Studio & Gallery, said music is an appropriate way to tribute the late

wrestler. “Music is just another form of art,” Weitzenkorn said. “It gets people engaged and involved.” In what Weitzenkorn anticipates to be an “all-out party atmosphere,” the wrestling theme is going to be pushed to the limit. “I love the theme a lot. It’s really going to work,” he said, adding that he’ll be dressed up as “Macho Man” on the night of the event. Weitzenkorn hopes he isn’t the only one in wrestling attire. He said that attendees, as well as members of the performing bands, are encouraged to dress up like wrestlers. If suited like a wrestler, the guest will get a discounted admission fee at the door. Not only is wrestling attire encouraged, but the performances will also feature some of the same theatrics as televised wrestling programs. “We build up for a fake

championship thing,” Rafael Pimentel, the guitarist for Silhouette Lies, said. “We were even thinking about having a fake belt that the bands could compete for.” Pimentel grew up watching wrestling and said that the motivation to pitch the idea to Weitzenkorn came from a premature flier that his friend, John Novak, made. “The flier is of ‘Macho Man’ elbow-dropping a dinosaur,” Pimentel said. “John always makes funny fliers. So we built a show around it.” Originally created on a “disgustingly ugly lime-green paper,” Novak credited current relevance as his motivation to create the flier. “Basically it was because of the time,” he said. According to Novak, “Macho Man’s” popularity was a big factor in the decision to pitch the event. “He’s a pretty cool dude,” Novak said, “a lot of kids liked him, and he had a lot of endorsement deals.” Weitzenkorn agreed. “He was one of my favorites,” he said. “I was a Hulk Hogan guy, but you can’t be a Hulk Hogan guy without liking Randy Savage.” Recognizing the popularity of professional wrestling and people’s tendency to hold on to the past, Weitzenkorn said that the timing is perfect to have this event. “Everyone in the land used to watch wrestling, especially in the ’90s,” Weitzenkorn said. “Years after, nostalgia kicks in.” Whether it’s nostalgia, honorable respect to a wrestling icon or simply a pursuit of a good time, it seems as if the rebellious twins occasionally come together and create moments as well as new experiences. “We played so many shows,” said Pimentel. “After awhile it turns into the same show over and over. Why not try something different?” W

ALBUM REVIEWS
The lyrics are what really help to define “Ukulele Songs” as the introspective undertaking that it is, and with them, Vedder’s quietly reassuring and familiar voice takes a calmer, gentler range than on the usual Pearl Jam hits. a limited forum is therefore no “You’re True” is full of sweet, surprise. What is surprising is rhythmic words that lend Vedder how well he does with his odd choice. On the first listen, all of an endearing aura, while the the songs, which are quite short, wistful lyrics in “Sleeping By Myself” and “Goodbye” carry sort of bleed together, because just the slightest hint of emo of their overall similarity. But edge. it eventually becomes apparent “Ukulele Songs,” in theory, that his talent is in his ability could be seen as the cliché rock to manipulate his instrument to star taking a stoic step back from make the songs sound subtly a hard and steady career, and that different from one another. The gleeful “Once In A While” probably wouldn’t be entirely untrue. That said, it’s also a conjures images of grass skirts and blue waters, as Vedder uses departure from the expected, and a welcome one at that. the ukulele in its truest form, while “Sleepless Nights” is a cloying little lullaby and “Can’t -- Stephanie DeBalko Keep” is a blissfully frenzied Weekender Staff Writer arrangement.
Effectively eccentric Eddie The ukulele is an underutilized instrument. Or at least, it seems like that must have been what Eddie Vedder was thinking when he decided to dedicate his entire second solo album to the Hawaiian relic. “Ukulele Songs,” with its disarmingly accurate title, dropped late last month and proves that the Pearl Jam frontman and guitarist is capable of a lot more than melancholic grunge music. The ukulele is an odd choice of accompaniment in any case, but especially when it’s basically the only accompaniment. For Vedder, though, bucking all standards of tradition and normalcy is nothing new, and his embrace of such
Kate Bush
“Director’s Cut”
RATING:
W W W 1/2
A so-so second shot Eclectic and dramatic, English singer/ songwriter Kate Bush is not just another lemming in a sea of followers, latching on to whatever genre is selling the most on iTunes. So it stands to reason that when she releases an album, her fans want to hear something new. And while, technically speaking, the songstress’s “Director’s Cut” is an all-new sound, it’s not actually new music. Rather, it’s essentially a revamp of 11 tracks from some of her past albums.
A lot of the songs on “Director’s Cut” have very different ambiences about them, which is to be expected from a compilation of sorts, but they all feel like they’re coming from starkly different places. To go from the deeply lulling melodies of “This Woman’s Work” and “Deeper Understanding” to the sexy, Nine Inch Nails-feeling song “Lily” wouldn’t be confusing for the ear, except for the fact that there are also songs like the up-tempo “The Red Shoes” thrown in the mix. At the same time, credit is due for lending an updated sound to some of the otherwise dated tunes, especially “Rubberband Girl.” Most of the songs also have a softer feel to them and, as usual, her wispy vocals carry on symphonic rhythms smoothly throughout. As individual cuts, the recordings don’t disappoint, and usually surpass the quality of their predecessors. But the entirety of “Director’s Cut” begs the question: Why? If she was capable of recreating (and sometimes, completely changing) these songs, why wasn’t Bush interested in creating brand-new music? While that query lingers, “Director’s Cut” is a fresh, if not that exciting, take on favorites that serves to help Bush maintain her status as the quirky doyenne of progressive rock.

“Ukulele Songs”
“Infected” likely may not do so. While the album starts out strong with the apocalyptic “Patient Zero” and the anthem “B.Y.H.,” the quality of the songwriting drops off rather quickly, and despite some great hooks and powerful riffs, it becomes rather mundane. While some metal bands can use mythic imagery and fantasy and write great songs around it, Hammerfall tries to but just doesn’t seem to have the talent to make it work. Tracks like “The Outlaw” and “I Refuse” are barely tolerable due to some great guitar work, and quite a few others (such as “One More Time”) make Hammerfall the listener want to press the skip button “Infected” almost immediately. W 1/2 Despite its high points, “Infected” is RATING: pretty disappointing. While the music itself is good, even great at times, the cartoonish nature of the lyrics just makes it too difficult to take this band seriously. Whether that’s due to a lack of creativity At first glance, “Infected,” the eighth or that the Swedish band is writing for studio album from Swedish thrash/ an English-speaking audience without power-metal band Hammerfall, may fully grasping the language is uncertain, appear to be a great addition to one’s however in the end it makes “Infected” collection, but it soon becomes apparent an album that will quickly find itself that it’s a prime example of how a band relegated to the bottom shelf, if one even can aim high but come up woefully short. bothers to purchase it in the first place. Metalheads are typically some of music’s most rabid fans, and it takes more than just a few heavy riffs and some stock -- Michael Irwin -- Stephanie DeBalko dark imagery to please them — and Weekender Correspondent Weekender Staff Writer

CORRUPTION
'CORRUPTED' by the '80s W hen some of the guys in the band CORRUPTION were born, groups like Twisted Sister, Motley Crue and Poison were in musical limbo and were still suffering from the ’80s backlash that accompanied the grunge movement of the early ’90s. Their heyday, it seemed, had passed, and it wasn’t until the late ’90s and early 2000s that many hard-rock bands from that era would enjoy a revival. No matter. The young musicians that comprise CORRUPTION still gravitated to those groups, and today, they play such music in clubs throughout NEPA. Formed two years ago, CORRUPTION features Jack Davenport on guitar and vocals, Jeff Symons on guitar and vocals and Gary Park on drums and vocals. The band’s newest addition, bassist and vocalist Kyle Morris, joined the group this
week. A youthful project, the band’s members range in age from 15 to 20 and also names acts such as Def Leppard, KISS, The Who and AC/DC as favorites. “We were brought up on music around our parents and around other cover bands that we’ve seen,” says Davenport, adding that local acts such as Bad Hair Day and M80 have taken them under their wings. “It’s fun music to play, it has a really good rhythm, and when you play stuff from the ’80s, people like to dance. And when the crowd’s having a good time, we’re having a good time. “We do songs all the way from Johnny Cash to Metallica,” he adds. “We do a big range of music, so that everybody — when they come out and see us — they all have a good time.” In addition to area clubs, CORRUPTION has also played
We do a big range of music, so that everybody — when they come out and see us — they all have a good time.” Jack Davenport of CORRUPTION
local events such as Scranton’s St. Patrick Day’s Parade and the Plymouth Kielbasa Fest. Though mainly a cover band, Davenport says the group offers a few originals from time to time. And of course, there’s also CORRUPTED KISS, the band’s tribute to KISS. Though they’ve only slapped on the greasepaint three times, it’s something they enjoy doing on occasion. “Before we played up at the Hilton on St. Patrick’s Day,” says Davenport, “we were thinking, ‘What can we do that they will definitely remember us by? And we decided to do something with KISS. So we went out and bought all of the costumes, came up with a setlist of KISS songs, got all of the moves dialed in, and everybody loved it.” Davenport admits performing in full KISS regalia feels incredible and adds that they’ll do it again in October at the Banshee in Scranton. “When you’re up there with the makeup and the boots, you tower over people, and you feel like you’re on the top of the world,” he says. “We’re on stage trying to imitate the guys as best as we can. I’m smashing guitars at the end of the night. Our bass player does the blood. It is empowering.” Still, most of CORRUPTION’s shows are your basic rock ’n’ roll gigs featuring a wide variety of fun and vintage rock. And so far, Davenport says that’s been plenty enough to connect with local music fans. “Sometimes, we’ll go out to dinner, and people will be wearing our T-shirts,” he says. “Or, if the people we’re with are wearing our shirts, we’ll have complete strangers coming up to the table saying, ‘You guys know that band? They’re really good. Can’t wait to go see them.’ That kind of boosts our energy to get out there and keep doing it.” W CORRUPTION, Fri., June 17, 9 p.m.-1 a.m., Andy Gavin’s (1392 N.

Over-the-knee socks are a great way to stay warm in finicky NEPA weather. PHOTO BY MATT HANNON
Higher education

ith the weather as bipolar as it’s been lately, the task of choosing an outfit that fits both my mood and the current conditions grows even more daunting every morning. On one hand, I have an array of sunshine-friendly sundresses, skirts and shorts just waiting to be exposed after being shoved to the back of my closet for the chilly winter months. At the same time, my legs are telling me that in order to avoid those shivering prickly goose bumps, it’s best I keep them underneath clothes for a little while longer. Well, I’ve come up with an easy solution to silence both parties: Over-the-knee socks, usually known for being part of a school girl’s uniform, are now instead the perfect transitional item for those not-reallycold-yet-barely-warm days. They give you the opportunity to finally show a little skin for the spring, but aren’t going to leave you shivering the whole
night. Best of all, there are very few things over-the-knee socks don’t go with, and the freedom is up to you if you’d like to make them more or less casual. With that being said, it’s best to avoid white cotton ones since they are too similar to the original school-girl look and can look costume-y. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics in solid colors like dark blues and blacks. If over-the-knee socks aren’t extreme enough for you, thighhigh stockings take a similar look to the next level. Abandon those tights you’d normally wear underneath a sassy party dress and try black thigh highs instead for a sexier, going-out look that will keep you cool as well.

Mike Sweeney recently moved to the area from New Jersey and brought his 2004 Subaru with him. “I’ve owned this car since it was brand new and stock,” Sweeney says. “Since then, I’ve been making changes to put more of my original stamp on it.” Sweeney added the carbon-fiber hood addition, an EVO 3 turbo upgrade, a Walbro fuel pump, 650 injectors, as well as an HKS power exhaust and TEIN high-tech springs. This summer, Sweeney plans on doing a DynoTune, which will hopefully get the car up to 300 horsepower. W

WHO IS...TOM MORAN
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2011
Who is... Tom Moran
T Kingston
om Moran of Kingston is a chef, talent buyer and talent developer. Most likely you’ve seen him at the River Street Jazz Cafe in Plains Twp. where he works, but this music and food connoisseur has been involved with the local entertainment and dining scene for years. When he’s not at the stove or discovering bands, he enjoys walking his dog and bike riding. And perhaps due to his outgoing personality, one might not know that Tom loves to be alone. Delve into the guru of jam, the boisterous Tom Moran.
Places you’ve worked: Percy Brown’s, Wilkes-Barre; U.S. Navy, South Pacific; Larry Blake’s, Berkeley Calif.; Hayward Fishery, Hayward Calif.; Elder & Company, Hayward Calif.; Mount Airy Lodge, Poconos; Woodlands Inn & Resort, Plains Twp.; Glenmaura National Golf Club, Scranton; Olives Mediterranean Restaurant, WilkesBarre; Murray’s Inn, Wilkes-Barre and River Street Jazz Cafe. Craziest thing you’ve ever done:
Jumped out of a plane with 30 Marines at Camp Pendleton — and landed miles away from the target landing.
Best concert you’ve been to and why:
Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit in Mountain View, Calif., because of the lineup of Tracy Chapman, Crosby Stills & Nash, Tom Petty and Neil Young.
What did you want to be when you grew up? A chef. Coolest celeb you’ve met: Richie Havens. Claim to fame: I have been in three major disasters: ’72 Agnes Flood, 1983 Beirut bombing and 1989 San Francisco earthquake. Favorite movie: “E.T.” Favorite quote: “Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.”

The badass is back O
ne of the longest running jokes in the video games industry is getting the last laugh. After spending 14 years in development hell, “Duke Nukem Forever” has finally been released. But I realize, maybe not everyone knows why this is a big deal. Allow me to explain. A little less than 20 years ago, first-person shooters were still a new phenomenon. You had “Doom,” and then, you had games like “Doom.” Of course, “Doom” wasn’t the first first-person shooter, but neither was “Wolfenstein 3D;” nor was that other game you’re thinking of. In fact, if you do a little research (ahem, Wikipedia) you’ll discover games you’ve never even heard of that are regarded as the first first-person shooters, and then you’ll spend a lot of time bogged down in what does — or doesn’t — make a game a first-person shooter. But none of that is relevant. All you really need to know is that “Doom,” id Software’s most famous creation, changed video games forever. For a long time, “Doom” was the game to beat. It was a fastpaced, high-intensity action game that had you attempting to survive by killing dozens of demonic creatures from Hell as they came at you from every angle. Beyond that, though, there wasn’t much to the game. Usually, you were just searching for keys to unlock doors and escape the labyrinthine levels. Rival game studio 3D Realms imagined that the genre could be much more, so they set out to prove it. Released in 1996, 3D Realms’ answer to the “Doom” series was “Duke Nukem 3D,” a sequel to a series of side-scrolling platform games that featured the titular character as he fought off aliens. Given the “3D” treatment, the third game in the series was a first-person shooter, played through the eyes of Duke as he kicked alien ass, objectified women and inflated his ego to

After 14 years of development, ‘Duke Nukem Forever’ has hit the shelves. impossible levels. The game was a resounding success. What made “Duken Nukem 3D” so popular was that it attempted to go beyond the simple mechanics of games like “Doom.” It was a world you could explore, not just textured walls that contained a wave of enemies to shoot at. Hidden passageways, interactive objects, weapons that were fun to fire and other elements that existed for no other reason than to show off what could be done in a game. The icing on this technological cake was Duke, himself — a crude, testosterone-soaked egomaniac that appeals to the basest ideal of the alpha male. However, as disgusting and tasteless as his behavior was, it was all in good humor. Duke Nukem is a parody
Duke Nukem is a parody of ’80s action-movie heroes.
of ’80s action-movie heroes. I admit, I wasn’t much of Duke fan when the game first came out, but as a geeky teenager who was a little too short and a little too round, I certainly appreciated the irony of playing an action movie tough-guy who doesn’t take crap off’a nobody, who laughs in the face of danger and summons women to his bed just by flexing his biceps. It was a very different kind of game, for its time. Now, 14 years later, as we contemplate the next iteration of military-themed shooters and barely inspired action games, wouldn’t it be nice to see a game with some real depth and character; something that promises more than just shooting wave after wave of bad guys? I’m hoping that we finally get our wish. “Duke Nukem Forever” is available now on the PC, Xbox W 360 and PlayStation 3.

Wii U or won’t U?
PAGE 48

intendo’s original Wii was a pioneer in many ways — and for many casual video-gamers, its easy approachability made it the video-game console of choice. Now, Nintendo has announced the long-awaited successor to the Wii: The Wii U. But can it possibly be just as fun, or as easy to use, as the original? Well, for starters, the Wii U offers a much-needed upgrade to HD graphics. This will eliminate the blocky appearance of games on many newer TV sets. The Wii U also features the original’s iconic motion-sensing controller, and it features a large, centrally located 6-inch touch screen. The screen can be used as a second monitor for games that support the feature, zooming in on a map
or showing an overhead view of a battlefield are two things to come to mind. It’s also rumored to be able to serve as a primary display for some of the more simple games, and will ship with a stylus. The controller still features Nintendo’s iconic “cross”shaped directional controller and the usual secondary controllers. The Wii U features a significantly streamlined — almost minimalist — case, which is a welcome change. It will reportedly work with existing accessories and controllers, meaning customers who purchased the original Wii will be able to use devices such as steering wheels with the new console. Nintendo hasn’t yet disclosed pricing on the Wii U, but if it expects to hold its core
demographic, the U will likely be quite affordable. One issue I foresee: It’s hazardous enough swinging around the Wii’s wireless controllers as it is, as many owners of smashed television sets, lamps and other household items can attest. There’s a reason the current controller has a safety strap. If the newer controller is sensitive to movement as well, and features a 6-inch screen, how dangerous will that be, and equally important, how expensive will it be to replace? The Wii U is expected to be released sometime next year. W Nick DeLorenzo is director of Interactive and New Media for The Times Leader. Write him at ndelorenzo@timesleader.com.

RiverFest continues to celebrate the mighty Susquehanna By Marie Burrell

ivers have always been an important part of life, providing everything from a food supply and a means of transportation to a source of energy and a place for washing clothes before other technology was available. All too often some people focus on the negative aspects of the rivers that twist and turn through their neighborhoods, at times seeing them as nothing but a flood risk or a dirty eyesore filled with pollution. But for others, the river is a beautiful part of the community and should be appreciated for what it can provide. For those who live along the Susquehanna River, Wyoming Valley RiverFest is back, celebrating its 12th year this Friday, June 17-Sunday, June 19 as part of National Rivers Month. Created by the Riverfront Parks Committee and the Wyoming Valley Watershed Coalition, the three day event brings together a collection of local music, exhibitors, vendors and a variety of activities on the river. Vincent Cotrone, president of the Riverfront Parks Committee, said the mission of those in-

Don Shappelle, below, has been entertaining at the festival since the event was founded 12 years ago. volved in RiverFest is to help get people reconnected with the river and the environment by showing them how beautiful the river itself is, as well as the parks along it. “For the most part, we take the river for granted,” he said. “We’re a river town. We need to come back to it, and what better way than to do that and celebrate Rivers Month on the river.” He said a lot of people have misconceptions about the river — that it is polluted and prone to flooding — but he said that it is a great place for people to enjoy nature, relax along the riverbank and partake in various events hosted in Nesbitt Park and the redeveloped River Common, which was completed in 2009. Cotrone said that RiverFest, which began in 1999, has grown from just a small river sojourn with approximately 50 people to the event it has become today, attracting several thousand people. He said that this is partially due to the expansion of the event

to include more activities than just the sojourns and paddling on the river, like this year’s addition of dragon boat racing. Helping to bring some of these new activities is Karl Borton, director of River Common Programming and Outreach. “Each year we bring in new instructors, new musicians, new exhibitors,” he said. “So each year, it changes up and each year, people can expect to see something new down at the river.
We’re fortunate to have this unique situation where we’re blessed to have a free festival.” Borton said organizers have brought in a lot of new music this year, hosting an array of local talent throughout the course of the three-day festival. Appearing at RiverFest for the first time is Kriki, headed by a lead singer who goes by the same name, which Borton said is a three-part, female vocal harmony group. Kriki said she appreciates
being asked to play, as this is a great opportunity for people to experience the wonderful things that come along with having a river run through their town. “This is a really good opportunity to just make people aware of, ‘Hey, this is a beautiful area’,” she said. “Wake up. Enjoy it while we have a beautiful summer, while we have the sun, while we have good music.” Though also appearing for the first time at the festival is Eddie Day and the Star Fires, lead singer Eddie Day Pashinski is no stranger to events like this in the area. Pashinski, the Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 121st District, which includes much of Luzerne County, understands how important it is for the community to become involved in the natural scene around them. “Having these kinds of events enhances the quality of life,” he said. “Not only for the residents, but it also attracts other people to introduce them to northeastern living.” While the festival does try to bring new entertainment, there are some things that have not changed over its 12-year history. Don Shappelle, who said he grew up along the Susquehanna, has been playing at RiverFest since the year it started, even when it was just primarily a fairly small group paddling the river. “In the early days of RiverFest, I just was on board because I wanted to do anything and be part of anything that had to do with the river,” he said. “It’s hard to believe it’s been this long. I’m honored to be a part of it after all these years.” Those involved in RiverFest have worked over the years to bring the community back to the river, and Shappelle agrees that it is an aspect of our valley that we should treasure. “RiverFest really accents that,” he said. “It really pushes the education and awareness of the river. I think for everybody who has been there and those who have not, they’ll be more than pleasantly surprised at all that RiverFest presents.” W

for children including Summer Theatre Workshop for ages 8-12 and Theatre Academy ages 13-18. “We’re trying to keep the kids interested,” said Zehner. “We want to get the younger ones started earlier.” She feels that the children’s programs will help keep the theater going for another 30 years. Through capturing the fascination of younger minds, Zehner hopes that the kids can grow into the theater community and keep Music Box pulsing with life. Surviving for the past 30 years hasn’t been easy, but the theater has prevailed. With the combining hardships of the economy, local competition and just getting people in the door, Music Box has had its high and low points. The fact that the theater has made it to its third decade has Zehner floored. “It’s hard to believe it’s been this long,” the director said. The heart of Music Box Dinner Playhouse has always been the members that come and get involved with every production, whether it’s a Music Box original or one of the classics. Zehner praised the local Music Box members for their talent and contribution to every show put on the stage. “This theater is an outlet to express themselves,” said Zehner on the theater community. “There’s terrific talent in the area … and you become a family. Your friends are there, and you work so closely together.” W “Musical Memories,” June 16-19, 23-26, Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m., Sun., 3 p.m., The Music Box Dinner Playhouse (196 Hughes St., Swoyersville).

he Music Box Dinner Playhouse of Swoyersville will be celebrating its 30th season at the local, nonprofit community theater June 16-19 and June 23-26. Highlighting 30 famous Broadway shows, director Debbie Zehner’s “Musical Memories” will perform songs from assorted musicals such as “Oklahoma,”“Fiddler on the Roof,” “Carousel,” “Brigadoon,” “Me and My Girl,” “Jesus Christ Superstar” and Zehner’s personal favorites, “Hello Dolly!” and “Annie.” The main idea revolving around “Musical Memories” is to perform music that people have been familiar with for the past 30 years. “I’m sure the audience will have the opportunity to hum along or sing along,” said Zehner, 60, who has been with Music Box for 29 years and has been the president of the board of directors for 25 years. In the beginning of her pursuit of acting, Zehner started as a singer and took part in a theater group in Hazleton. She
took on her first role in her mid-20s when she was offered the female lead of “Fiddler on the Roof ” as Golde, the wife of main character Tevye. “Musical Memories” consists of 20 actors; Music Box’s youngest and oldest from ages 14-77. The production will also include Music Box’s three original members, Michael Gallagher, Kevin Costley, and T. Doyle Leverett, who have been with the community theater for the full 30 years. According to Zehner, the biggest challenge of this production has been trying to fit as many shows possible within a short timeframe, describing the process as a “circus.” Not just the only dinner playhouse in the area, Zehner feels that Music Box has an advantage against competition with the theater’s friendly community, cheaper ticket prices in comparison to Broadway and its special attention toward the children. One of the theater’s biggest focuses have been getting the kids involved in musicals and familiarizing them with the “older numbers.” In late August, there will be programs at the theater available

Weekender Editor GRILLING GADGETS It might be a cliche and perhaps a bit sexist, but doesn’t grilling — good, craveable, eat-with-gustoand-your-fingers grilling seem to be a perfect Dad Thing? Maybe it’s because my own father does it so damn well that, thankfully, neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night keeps him from his grill, or maybe it’s because I now have my own in-house master grilling guy, but in honor of Father’s Day this year, here are a few last minute gifts from CSNStores.com that you might want to think about getting for your own dear old Dad — or whoever mans the coals in your house. Up first is the Bayou Classic Fold & Go Charcoal Grill ($21), which weighs in at just 13 pounds and comes with a tote bag for easy transporting to your favorite state park, friend’s house or, heck, even the office parking lot for a nice lunchtime change of pace. Sliders — you know, those mini burgers that seem to be on every restaurant’s menu these days — are easy to make at home with the Companion Deluxe Mini Burger Set ($21), complete with a bun cutter, patty press and grill basket. With endless topping possibilities and this tool, get ready to “slide” into a homerun at your next cookout. Sure, my medium-rare

doneness is a breeze for my grilling guys to deliver, but some grill minders need a little help, especially with some of those — gasp — well-done requests. The Polder BBQ Safe Serve Instant Read Thermometer ($20), which has preset alerts to let you know when the meat has reached its USDA-recommended safety temperature, makes the perfect steak or burger a snap. No griller wants to get splattered by hot grease fresh off the grill

and get burned or ruin their backyard-barbecue best, so why not outfit your grill master with the Texas Irons Personalized Leather Grilling Apron ($45), with five logos to choose from? After one wearing, they’ll be calling themselves “Cookie” and referring to the patio as “The Range.” It’s up to you to provide the horse for the full cowboy experience … Last but not least is my personal favorite: The Charcoal Companion DoubleProng Coastal Skewers ($13), featuring an intricately detailed crab, scallop, fish and lobster. The 14-inch skewer’s double-prong style helps prevent spinning, meaning the chance of a shrimp or scallop going overboard is pretty slim. These five items are just a taste of what Boston-based CSN Stores has for your favorite outdoor cook, so check the website out, and get grilling!

Weekender Correspondent GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Take a break. There’s only so much you can accomplish now, and laboring to make progress when tensions are high or chaos reigns is just so much wasted effort. Once the dust settles, people calm down, and your own emotions pull out of their tailspin, you’ll be able to soar swiftly and efficiently to your destination, whereas if you attempt to get there now, you’ll end up in a Bermuda Triangle of sorts, instead, flying in circles and running out of fuel. Go find something else to do, already. When the “weather” clears, and it’s safe to continue your journey, you’ll know. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) The end of something doesn’t have to be a dismal funereal affair, where everyone involved mopes around feeling sorry for themselves. You already know how every ending is a new beginning. In this case, that may very well be cause for outright celebration, not doom and gloom. You’ve had enough of that kind of shit. Turn up the music, tell everyone to wake up and snap out of it, and change things up. It’s time to put on a party hat and drink, not to drown your sorrows, but to loosen you up for something altogether new! LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Everyone makes mistakes. In most cases, it’s best to own up to yours and fix them. Sometimes, though, it really doesn’t matter. Going to that much effort to rectify something so small will actually just make you seem nitpicky and petty, as well as willing to waste others’ time on something that’s relatively inconsequential. Since those aren’t typical qualities of yours, let this oopsie slide. If and when someone notices and points out your gaffe, admit to it, of course — but until then, assume that it probably doesn’t make a whit of difference, since that’s almost certainly the case.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) It’s easy to be friends with someone when they shine. Of course, when they need your friendship the most is when they do something they’re ashamed of (and you probably are, too). Which kind of friend will you be when something like this happens? Will you stick by them, despite their reprehensible or incomprehensible actions? Or will you shun them? Of course, we all know which friend you’d like to be in theory. Can you put it into practice, despite what they’ve done, perhaps something that even horrifies or disgusts you? This week you may find out. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) If someone claims to be proud of everything they’ve ever done, they’re full of shit, and/or probably too insufferable to be around. Everyone screws up, and pulls crap they’re ashamed of after the fact. I doubt you need this warning, but avoid holier-than-thou types this week, like the plague. They’re not good for your happiness, well-being, or self-esteem, and have little to offer besides their stupid judgmental attitudes. You have a dark side, and even if you’ve done things you’re a little ashamed of, you should be proud of being willing to explore and accept all of yourself. Until they can do the same, don’t bother with them. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Sure, all the sexting and naughty chat is plenty of fun, but until you meet face-toface, online flirtations pretty much exist only in the realm of fantasy. So much of a
connection between two people can only happen when you’re in the same room with each other. Many people have already discovered that what seemed ideal, perhaps even phenomenal, in theory, turned out to be a tremendous disappointment in reality. Until you have hands-on verification that the fantastic dream you’re talking and thinking about will actually work for you, don’t get your hopes too high. This scenario may not be too good to be true, but unfortunately it probably is. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) When all the pieces don’t quite add up, either the story you’re being told is highly unusual, or it just plain isn’t true. We’re both cynical enough to more or less assume the latter, but just in case this is one of those weird situations, hold off on the accusations. See if you can get any substantiation for the odd scenario that’s being described to you. You can afford to give someone the benefit of the doubt — to a point. Eventually, though, you deserve and should require a little more than having to rely on blind faith. Proof is available, if it exists. Ask for some. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Moving too fast happens most often when we’re young, but even older people can get carried away and suddenly find themselves a few steps past where they’re strictly comfortable. It may be difficult to force things backwards a few steps — particularly if there are logistical difficulties, like moving out of your lover’s apartment, but that’s still preferable to the alternative: Carrying on as if this was just
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) I’ve never cheated on anyone in my life. However, just because I never went there doesn’t mean I’d treat anyone who did with righteous, holier-than-thou derision and scorn. I might be more guarded with them, true. However, I choose to believe that people can learn from their mistakes, and even though they may never be free of the impulses that led to those mistakes, they can change their responses to them. Of course, some people will never learn, because they’re incapable or unwilling. Has the person spinning stories to you changed? Or are they just telling tales? That’s this week’s question. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Manifesting what you want is usually relatively easy for you (by that I mean easier than it is for other signs). That’s why you get impatient when it doesn’t happen right away, as soon as you put it out there. When what you’re trying to bring into your life is complex, subtle, or very rare, it’s simply going to take longer. Accept that. Trying to force it to happen before it’s “ready” will just mean ultimately longer delays. Remember that patience you’re supposed to be cultivating? This week (and in the weeks to come), put it to the test. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Expecting everyone to conform to your standards is slightly ridiculous. Attempting to require them to do so is frankly preposterous. If you’re trying anyway, it’s because you still haven’t yet learned to appropriately pick your battles, because these types of fights either can’t be won, or can only be won by sacrificing something even more valuable; in other words they’re simply not worth the effort. This week, take a step back from any conflicts (or potential conflicts) you’ve got going on. For at least a couple of them, you’ll be happier and better off if you just back off. They’re not worth it. Figuring out which ones will not only make you happier, it’ll make you much likelier to win the battles really worth fighting.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Generally your judgment is rather good, but you only developed it by making some spectacularly disastrous mistakes in the past. Occasionally, one of these will come back to haunt you in some way. There’s no point in denying what happened, but you can easily drive the point home about how you learned from your past stupidity. Don’t go on the defensive if one of these experiences is brought up: It happened, and everyone knows it. However, your more recent life experience has taught you how to deal with uncomfortable situations with grace. This is one of those, so show off your new skills.

where you meant to be, even if you’re not feeling it. It’s that kind of false bravado that leads to even more discomfort, and, ultimately, pain and heartbreak. You need to be sure, so give yourself the space to make sure, even if asking for it is very, very hard.
