Is it just me or are people driving completely ridiculously lately? I have been traveling a lot in and out of the area, and I’ve noticed many, many drivers taking their sweet, old time in the passing lanes of Interstates 80 and 81. I’m not saying I’m speeding, dear state troopers who may be reading — heavens no! — but going 50 or less in the passing lane is just plum unconstitutional. You’re not out on a Sunday drive — you’re on a major interstate. I’m sure that I should really not let myself get so road rage-y, but c’mon, people. Get the heck over — and out of my way. Now that that’s off my chest, my next order of business is this week’s issue. “Forged,” a movie filmed in the Scranton area in 2009, is going national starting next week, and we talked to director William Wedig and executive producer Joe Van Wie about the filming experience, their thoughts on the premiers and a
social
sneak peek of the local premier that will be held in August. Check out the story on pages 16-17. Also in this week’s issue, you can find out about a musician named Paul Thorn who finds inspiration from two very different places (p. 20), a local community garden whose reach grows far beyond NEPA (p. 29) and some of our photos from last week’s Warped tour (pages 6263). Of course, there’s a lot more to read in this week’s issue, so start turning pages. Thanks for picking us up! Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor

THESE SHAMS ARE READY TO ROCK The North American Lacrosse League announced last week that the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton team will be called The Shamrocks. The Shamrocks and other teams in NALL will begin play in January 2012. “The Shamrocks’ logo draws its inspiration from the local Irish heritage,” said its designer Chris Lochinski of Lock Designs. “The colors are based in the Irish tradition while not being stereotypical, the central shield design is based on a modified version of ancient shield of arm from Ireland, and lastly the central clover design melds the shape of the lacrosse stick into the classic symbol of Irish pride, the clover.” Season tickets for the Shamrocks start at $112 and are now available at wbshamrocks.com or by calling a team representative at 570.371.3825. More NALL team announcements are expected to be made this week.

Unclear on the Concept: The initial explanation by Thomas O’Neil, 47, upon his arrest in Wausau, Wis., in June for criminal damage to property (breaking into a neighbor’s garage and defecating on the floor) was to claim that he thought he was in his own garage. COLLECT A PIECE OF JETER The New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter achieved his milestone 3,000th major league hit in July, and Steiner Sports Marketing of New Rochelle, N.Y., was ready (in partnership with the Yankees and Major League Baseball). Dozens of items from the game were offered to collectors, including the bases ($7,500 each), 30 balls used during the game ($2,000 each, unsigned), and even Jeter’s sweaty socks ($1,000). Steiner had also collected five gallons of dirt (under supervision, to assure authenticity), and uberfans can buy half-ounce containers of clay walked upon by Jeter during the game (from the shortstop area and the righthand batter’s box) — for a not-dirt-cheap $250 each.

E F A C S ’ STAN
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION! Emerging democracies typically exhibit growing pains as they develop stability. For example, in July in Afghanistan’s parliament, one female legislator attacked another with her shoe (and then dodged the second lady’s flying water bottle before colleagues separated them). Older democracies, however, act more maturely — except perhaps in California, where in June, an Italian-American legislator got into a shoving match with a colleague whom he thought had made a “Sopranos”-type slur about recent legislation. And in the mature democracy of Wisconsin in June, one state Supreme Court justice was accused of roughing up another (though who started it is in dispute) as the justices privately discussed a case.
IRONIES -- Budget cuts forced the closure of two of the three firehouses in Chillicothe, Ohio (pop. 22,000), and even that station failed a state fire marshal’s inspection in March. Because the station’s own alarm system was broken, the chief was required, until the new system is installed, to assign one firefighter per shift to be on full-time patrol at the station, walking around the grounds constantly, upstairs, downstairs, looking for fires. -- Run That by Me Again: (1) In New Orleans in July, Thomas Sanders, 53, pleaded guilty to murdering a 12-year-old girl. According to the neighboring state of Mississippi, Sanders has been dead for 17 years (having been ruled deceased in 1994 on petition of his parents, brother and ex-wife). (2) In July, the city of Daytona Beach Shores, Fla., agreed to pay $195,000 to settle a lawsuit in which six people claim they were stripsearched unlawfully by police. Four of the six were stripsearched during a raid at the Biggins Gentleman’s Club, where they work as strippers. EASILY OFFENDED -- Norris Sydnor III’s $200,000 lawsuit against Rich’s Nail Salon of Landover, Md., for “humiliate(ing)” him last December is scheduled for trial as News of the Weird goes to press. Sydnor was upset that males have to pay $10 for a manicure but females only $9. -- John Luckett filed lawsuits on 11 different complaints earlier this year against the Las Vegas arcade Pinball Hall of Fame, claiming that he was wrongfully barred from the
premises for obnoxiously complaining about out-of-service machines, especially “Xenon,” which he says he has mastered so well that he can play almost indefinitely on an initial 50 cents. Among the damages requested, Luckett is demanding $300 for each “therapy” session he might have to undergo to overcome the trauma of being ejected. Luckett has filed more than 40 lawsuits in his role of, as he put it, avenging people’s attempts to “screw” him. SHOULD’VE KEPT THEIR MOUTHS SHUT -- According to a bailiff, convicted car thief Thomas Done, 33, spent almost a halfhour at his June sentencing “shucking and jiving” Ogden, Utah, Judge Michael Lyon before finally finagling probation (instead of 15 years in prison) — by expressing parental love for his young daughter and blaming his recidivist criminality on his girlfriend’s infidelity. However, literally seconds after Judge Lyon announced probation, Done, noticing his girlfriend in the courtroom, made a gun-triggering motion with his thumb and fingers and said, “Boom, bitch.” A bailiff reported the gesture to the judge, who declared Done in violation of his brand-new probation and ordered him re-sentenced. -- Initially, all Jay Rodgers wanted was for the fellow Atlanta gas station customer to say “thank you” when Rodgers held the door for him, but the man remained silent, and Rodgers pressed the issue, confronting him and even following the man out to his car — where the man pulled a gun and shot Rodgers in the abdomen, sending him to the hospital for nine days. (Interviewed on WSB-TV in May, Rodgers resumed nagging the man, urging him to “do the right thing” by turning himself in.)

laimed to be the most haunted city in America, Scranton is filled with a history of coal mines, unexplained and tragic deaths and series of hardships that lead to its local hauntings. The Scranton Ghost Walk was created to figure out the history behind the area and to uncover local claims of experiencing “odd feelings” and why these mysterious things happen where they occur. Penny Wilkes, co-founder of the Scranton Ghost Walk, started to believe in ghosts at the Houdini Museum on North Main Avenue in Scranton. “I never believed in any of it. I always thought, ‘Oh, people are emotional and making things up,’” said Wilkes. “That building is definitely haunted. I’ve been in it so often that I know the difference between what sounds like an old building and what sounds like something happening.” What was described as a “haunted picture frame,” Wilkes explained that every time it was hung up on the wall in the museum, it would get “thrown on the floor” and smashed. Currently the frame, left unrepaired with broken glass, is left on a shelf in the museum where it is still being thrown around and damaged on a regular basis. There have also been multiple claims revolving around an antique wrought-iron cat statue in
the men’s bathroom in the museum. “People say that when they’re in there, a lot of people report things happening, like the head moving or the cat purring, or the cat hissing. It’s amazing,” said Wilkes. “One guy actually was there for the evening at the haunted event, and he had to go. He said, ‘This is too much, I can’t take it.’” The Scranton Ghost Walk is a 90-minute tour that leads walkers through the historical sites of downtown Scranton where there are many haunted legends to be told. Some of the locations described on the Ghost Walk website include the Scranton Cultural Center, Albright Library, State School for the Deaf, Harrison Avenue Bridge and the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel. Participants with smartphones are welcome to download a free “Ghost Radar” application which can detect nearby spirits during the tour. According to Wilkes, the strangest occurrence during their tours happened recently, when the radar application on a woman’s phone began beeping to signify nearby ghosts. When photos were taken of the surrounding area, they captured images of three “orbs” that were following the people as they moved. After they took these photos, Penny explained that they saw words across the camera screen that read “family,” “shift” and “message.” Following this strange correlation of words, one of the participants of the tour
soon checked a new message on their phone that told them to hurry home because their mother was being rushed to the emergency room. “That was creepy,” said Wilkes. “And how that happened, I don’t know. That is the strongest form of any kind of manifestation that I’ve ever seen in my life. It was creepy, but extremely accurate.” Many attendees, who once never believed in ghosts, have been converted after going on the tour. From an armed prison warden’s “trigger hand” being tugged, to a non-believer capturing a series of photos of orbs and auras, Wilkes claims that many people walk away with a new perspective on the existence of paranormal activity. “It’s fun like that because the people that go on the walks have different beliefs and different feelings,” she said. “Some think, ‘Oh, I’m just going to go on some corny thing, and then in the end of it, they’re like, ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever been on!’” W

‘Forged’ director William Wedig on the Scranton set with the film’s star, Manny Perez.
Behind the movie
Scranton-shot ‘Forged’ film goes national, local premier set for August By Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor
PAGE 16
“
Forged” isn’t just a story about a murderer’s redemption — the gritty, Northeastern Pennsylvania-shot drama is much more than that, actually. Yes, its main character, Chuco, played by Manny Perez, is released after serving time for murdering his wife in front of their young son, Machito, who is now 13 and
homeless. Chuco tries to stay on the straight and narrow and make amends with Machito, who escaped an abusive foster family only to try to survive the streets by becoming a male prostitute — while vowing revenge on the father he blames for the bad turn his life has taken. Just as much as “Forged” is the story of this father and son, it’s also the story of its
makers, the people behind the scenes who are now relishing the fact that their labor of love will be seen on several select theaters across the country starting with premiers in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago Friday, July 29. “I was very excited to find out that our film was going to have a great release through Maya Entertainment,” Director William Wedig, who co-wrote the script with Perez, said in an e-mail. “It wasn’t a shock per se since I was actually working with them through the deal to buy the film, so I sort of knew what was going to happen. But it’s still very exciting for my first professional film to be released as wide as it is and
where it’s going.” Executive producer and NEPA native Joe Van Wie, too, is ecstatic. “While it’s happening, you just don’t believe it’s happening, that such a small production that we had in Scranton was winning such accolades at such accredited film festivals,” he told the Weekender while sitting in his Scranton office. The festivals in question were the 2010 New York Latino International Film Festival, where “Forged” won Best Domestic Feature, and the 2010 Providence Latin American Film Festival, where it garnered the Outstanding Film Award. The movie was also an Official
Selection at the 2010 Los Angeles Latino Film Festival and the 2011 San Diego Latino Film Festival. “The distributors knew we deserved a theatrical release,” Van Wie said. “There were a few distributors prior to that that were kind of on the fence, but once they saw the audience response to it, they were like, ‘Wow, we’ve got to get that out.’ It deserves to be seen with a theatrical release the way we shot it.”
‘A place I understood’
“
Forged” was originally going to be a much smaller project. “When Manny came on
working on the legal end of it, and hopefully we’ll be through it in about six months, and we’ll be ready to plan production.” Wedig has “a few things in the works, but nothing concrete yet. I might direct a show this fall, and I’m doing some editing for a surf competition in September.” The “Forged” director is also developing a screenplay he’s “really interested in. It has some action and a really cool ensemble-cast idea, but I don’t want to give out too many details.” Until some of these projects come to light, both men are relishing the current state of “Forged.” “What I hope comes of it is that the film gets to the people who love these stories,” Van Wie said. “It’s a niche market, it’s a dark drama, not a cookie-cutter-recipe movie from a studio, it’s an independent film. “The fact that we got it to ‘Forged’ Executive Producer a theater is monumental to us, Joe Van Wie so many films, good films, just do not make it.

board, and our producer Josh Crook picked it up, it just sort of expanded,” Wedig said. “It’s been moving ever since, and now I’m just excited for people to see the movie. It’s really very intimate and moving.” The film was shot in February 2009, and the process of getting it distributed has been ongoing. “Things take a bit longer when people have lives — it’s hard to do this full time,” Wedig explained, adding that he has done freelance work on the side in the interim for companies like Sports Illustrated and Lincoln. “The rest of our crew have similar situations, so it really has to be coming from a place of passion to make these films. There’s a lot of love put into these kinds of projects.” Not surprisingly, the biggest challenge of shooting in NEPA in February was the weather. “When we shot, people were saying it was the coldest winter in 50 years, and it was 8 or 9 degrees the first day, and we shot outside for some of it,” Wedig recalled. “Some locations didn’t have heat, and we had little camping heaters and made fires and stuff like that.” Something that wasn’t a challenge, though, was finding local support for the film. “We used a lot of locals in the movie as extras and filled a lot of the crew with people who just wanted to help,” Wedig said. “We couldn’t have made if it weren’t for the support of Scranton and the community around there.” Though the New Yorkbased Wedig had driven through Pennsylvania often on his way to and from his native Ohio, he wasn’t too familiar with NEPA before filming. “Joe is from Scranton and had a lot of connections there, so when we were considering where to make (the movie), the colors and

e had an ongoing relationship for decades. There were times when I sort of forgot. Times when other relationships came first. But I always watched, kept track. There were times when I was riveted, held spellbound by unworldly beauty, quite literally. I observed anniversaries. Marked the other milestones in my life by the big events in our ongoing relationship, some with great pleasure and satisfaction, and some with a sure sense that all is dust to dust. I am not ashamed to say that it thrilled me, saddened me and ultimately left me empty, bereaved and bereft, more so than any other relationship I have ever had, or ever will. I can without any hesitation brand it as my longest relationship. I am going through the classic stages of grief. Anger, but I am not really sure at whom. Denial that we could be so stupid, to let this part of our lives slip through our grasp like it was never a big deal. Acceptance? I am nowhere near that yet. Most relationships fail because the love cools, the passion fades. The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference, the blind eye. Not the case here, the heat of my interest remains but the truth of the matter is that people who have not the understanding for what it was, not even the vaguest idea of what it meant, what it came from and what it still could be, stepped in, got between us and closed the door. Someone once told me it takes a lifetime to learn how to live one. While I have been in this relationship, just shy of 54 years, I have lived several lifetimes, raised children and seen them flourish, watched love ones grow old and pass from
The pity is that the world, now, will never know what will be missed. This relationship gave far more than it took, enriched our lives in ways that few understand and once it’s gone, once the genie is back in the bottle, we will never know what it’s like again. this world. The pity is that the world, now, will never know what will be missed. This relationship gave far more than it took, enriched our lives in ways that few understand and once it’s gone, once the genie is back in the bottle, we will never know what it’s like again. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy said: “… as we set sail we ask God’s blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.” With those words, he put in motion American-manned exploration of space. And now it’s over. When we want to go to space we will hitch a ride with the Russians. The irony is too much. W Reach Jim at contact@jamesrising.com.

Netflix vs. Blockbuster
I
f you’re one of the many Netflix customers who was put out by the announcement that Netflix was increasing prices, Blockbuster wants to make an offer you can’t refuse: A month for free, plus a slightly discounted monthly rate (which is cheaper than the equivalent Netflix plans). But it might be a good idea to wait before you decide to jump ship in righteous indignation over the villainous Netflix plan — the services differ substantially. According to Netflix, what it’s actually done is split their DVD and web-streaming services. So while you were paying $9.99 per month for one DVD at a
time and unlimited streaming movies, you’ll now end up paying $15 per month for two services, DVD by mail at $7.99 and unlimited streaming video for $7.99. For me, this plan actually works out better; I have Netflix, but I only use its streaming service. I can send off for a DVD, but I’ve never had any rea-
son to. If you only need its DVD service, it’s also cheaper — you’re only paying $7.99 a month. However, Blockbuster offers a substantially different product that includes Blu-Rays with its DVD plans. Netflix charges extra, not a big deal for people who want to view movies online, but maybe a game changer for those of
you who prefer receiving movies in the mail. Blockbuster also includes Xbox 360, Playstation and Wii game rentals by mail in its plans; Netflix doesn’t offer the service. And Blockbuster allows you to return and exchange videos at a physical store location, where your plan will net additional discounts.
I should mention that, presently, Blockbuster offers fewer titles than Netflix. So while Netflix’s increased rates may be better or worse for you, depending on how you use the service, Blockbuster does offer additional value for your dollar. Personally, given how I use Netflix, it works out better for me to stick with the service. But as always, your experience will differ, and your mileage may vary. W

After gracing the Ottawa Bluesfest with his autobiographical music and soulful Mississippi-accented vocals, he set off to Toronto, where he planned on doing the same. The cities change, the cultures change, but, ironically, the constant migrating becomes routine despite the shifting of environments. Just a crowd and a stage, that is all Thorn has time to acknowledge. “You don’t get to absorb the culture of where you’re at,” Thorn said. “Most nights, it’s just a crowd and the people. That’s all I get to see.” Come Saturday, July 23, he may notice the difference in the accent of the Northeast Penn-

dina” as two hip-hop artists that he enjoyed, and said that he liked hip-hop when it “wasn’t about shooting somebody or how many bitches you had,” hip-hop music was not a factor in the name of the album, despite popular belief. His father was a Pentecostal minister, and his uncle was a pimp. Acting as the yin and yang of Thorn’s childhood, both had a major influence on his upbringing. “My pimp uncle showed me the dark side of life,” Thorn said. “I’m not as gullible as I would have been without him.” Thorn’s uncle was the streetwise mentor who taught him how to box. Before becoming his profession, Thorn said that boxing was a hobby of his, and it became something he did in the middle of his constant songwriting. As a kid, Thorn attended two different styles of churches: The churches that sang soulful “r&btype” of gospel, and the churches that sang the country-music gospel. “They both have a big influence in my music,” he said. Swaying away from the generic subjects of today’s music, Thorn said that he finds it important to write music about what’s real in his life. “I think as you get older, what you sing about changes,” he said. “I’m a 46-year-old man with two kids and a wife, so, I’m going to write about that.” His various pairs of opposite influences, from soul gospel to country gospel, to pimp uncle and preacher father, has created a gumbo of character that has allowed Thorn to create nine storytelling albums that he said all sound different. As far as the album goes, the two influences of the title have offered little feedback towards it. Thorn isn’t worried about it though. “My uncle never said not one word. He probably likes it, but doesn’t have the ability to compliment,” Thorn said. “My father asked for some extra copies, so I W guess he liked it.”

The ‘Pre-Bookbinding’ class at GreenBeing gave students the chance to learn how to create a pamphlet from scratch with eco-friendly materials and is one of many classes being offered at the store this summer.

response from the community and hopes to continue more classes in the fall. Potentially, she said, those workshops might include a second counterpart to this summer’s initiatives. For example, instead of restyling luggage, next time the focus might be on customizing a handbag. “And then hopefully, like I’ve seen with the store, once you start something, other people start to come out and come forward, who want to be a part of it,” she said. “So maybe I’ll find a couple new teachers who will want to teach their craft.” GreenBeing has been in
business since 2008, and Powers hopes the classes will have a snowball effect, bringing more customers in to not only learn a new trade but also perhaps do a little shopping amongst local and regional brands and artists. “I just want to be a host for the artistic community here,” she said. “Bring things back to buying local.” W GreenBeing, 334 Adams Ave., Scranton, 570.341.9988, info@shopgreenbeing.com.

ften, being “green” and environmentally friendly is associated with frumpiness or a sacrifice of style, but one step into Scranton’s GreenBeing — a consignment/ eco-friendly shop located at 334 Adams Ave. — and all those preconceived notions are swooped out the door and replaced by visions of beautiful handmade and vintage jewelry, crafts, clothing, shoes and handbags. Staying in line with the store’s motto of offering products that are “made with regard for the environment and sold with the local community in mind,” as it’s posted on the store’s web site, owner Cristin Powers recently started offering in-store classes for those who want to learn how to take a more hands-on approach to the ecological lifestyle. “I kind of noticed that there really wasn’t a place offering such an assortment of classes like this,” she said in an interview in GreenBeing’s comfy seating area. “So I thought it would be a good opportunity to get new people into the store, while also promoting the brands of the artists who are teaching the classes.” With classes focusing on bookbinding, suitcase restyling and embroidery, among other things, Powers sought out the instructors by approaching people who already have wares for sale in her shop. She is also offering one-on-one sewing lessons that she teaches herself. Each class remains true to the store’s overall environmentally friendly approach. The bookbinding workshop utilizes scrap paper in place of new paper, suitcase restyling gives a facelift of sorts to vintage luggage, screen-printing uses eco-friendly ink and the ecocrochet class uses plastic bags and/or old clothing. In one way or another, each lesson focuses on creativity while minimizing the impact on the environment. Powers has noticed a positive

HILADELPHIA — We’d heard the stories about the mammoth size of the “U2 360” tour. We’d heard how the stage itself was actually larger than some arenas, and how the only venues that could actually contain it were football stadiums. We’d heard about the fleet of 18-wheelers required to take the show on the road, with as many as 200 vehicles involved, and how the staging takes days to assemble. On Thursday, July 14, it all came to Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. More than 67,000 fans were waiting. And seeing is believing. The stage is 167 feet tall and — nicknamed “The Claw” — looks like some sort of futuristic spaceship. There were ramps and catwalks and bridges and the most dazzling video screens ever seen. No concert tour has ever been framed in such a way. And yet when you tore it all away, it was still, quite remarkably, all about the music. Bono, with an acoustic guitar and singing a song such as “One,” managed to outshine it all. U2 opened with “Even Better Than The Real Thing” and followed with “I Will Follow” and a highly-rhythmic rendition of “Mysterious Ways.” Later, the band offered “Magnificent,” perhaps the best track from 2009’s “No Line On The Horizon.” Bono, acknowledging that the show was first scheduled for a year ago but postponed due to his back surgery, then offered a sincere thanks to the audience for its support and its patience. He spoke of the special connection that exists between the band and its audience, and that it was something he probably didn’t speak of as often as he should. His words were genuine. There were several nods to U2’s own musical heroes amid the show. Fitting into the space theme, David Bowie’s “Space
CONGRATS!
The Edge, left, and Bono of U2 perform on the band’s ‘360’ tour. Oddity” was played over the PA-system before the band took the stage and Elton John’s “Rocket Man” was played afterward. Bono also peppered songs with parts of Bruce Springsteen’s “The Promised Land” and The Rolling Stones’ “It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll (But I Like It)” and “Miss You.” Midway through the concert, astronaut Mark Kelly, in a video clip shot during Space Shuttle Endeavour’s trip to the International Space Station, introduced “Beautiful Day.” Bono dedicated the song to Kelly’s wife, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was severely injured in a Tucson shooting earlier this year and had once suggested “Beautiful Day” as a wakeup call for her husband while on a shuttle mission. Only U2 could get an astronaut orbiting the earth to introduce one of its songs during a concert and it was both moving and electrifying. Other highlights included a stirring performance of “Stay (Faraway, So Close!),” an energized rendition of “Vertigo” and a moving performance of what some consider to be the best rock song ever written: “Pride.” There was passion behind a perform-
ance of “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and members of Amnesty International, carrying soft lights, circled the stage during an inspired performance of “Walk On.” The show ended with performances of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me,” “With or Without You,” and “Moment of Surrender.” Bono then asked the crowd to sing “Happy Birthday” to the band’s friend Nelson Mandela, who turns 93 this week. Few bands can draw more than 65,000 people in every city, and even among the few that can, even fewer can make such a performance feel as communal as U2. Like Springsteen, the crowd at a U2 event becomes an actual part of the show. And though all concerts at such sizable venues lose much of the intimacy found at even a large arena — where U2 had performed on its previous few stops in Philly — U2 is a band that can still harness connections in such grand facilities. Massive video screens are a part of the reason why, but ultimately, when you see 67,000 pumping their arms to “Where The Streets Have No Name,” you realize it is still indeed all about the songs. Simply “Magnificent.” W

She said this is the second year for the event, the first raised around $2,000 to benefit the garden. Named for Laurie Bogaski who lost her life in a fire on the property back in 1999, Laurie’s Community Garden has become a space for some of the residents of Scranton’s Hill Section to grow everything from flowers and herbs to various ethnic foods. Risse said it has not only provided the opportunity for people, many of whom are immigrants from such places as Bhutan in South Asia, Nepal and Mexico, to grow their own foods, the garden has also helped to bring together people in the community who may have not gotten to know one another otherwise. “Some of the new immigrants
have food they can’t get in our stores, or they are used to gardening and growing certain foods,” she said. “For other people, it’s simply community that brings them here. It’s important to the individual people who are in there — we have 18 people who are in there gardening and a waiting list, so obviously there’s a desire to grow food. It’s important for people who don’t have backyards to be able to go somewhere.” With the demand so high for gardening space, Risse said she would like to look at the possibility in the future to create more community gardens throughout Scranton. Until that time, focus remains on ensuring that Laurie’s Community Garden continues to provide space for community members to grow not only plants, but also close bonds of friendship. Risse said she hopes that people see the good the garden has brought to the community and come out to support it at the fundraiser. “It’s a fun event. We’ll have music, we’ll have really delicious food — some of it will probably be new for you to try. Take part in your neighborhood and help out.”

egetables are an important part of a healthy diet, and most people are content with grabbing what they need from the perfectly organized and labeled sections of the local grocery store’s produce section. However, for some, the quick trip to the store just isn’t enough. They want to work the earth beneath their feet, nurture seeds as they grow into plants ready for harvest. They want to see their work come full circle, feel the joy it brings and often times share that joy with those around them. While at times certain situations, such as the lack of a backyard, make it nearly impossible for home growing, residents in Scranton have the opportunity to bring their desire to life. Shalom Community Development Corporation (CDC), a non-profit group that works to help improve the community with projects such as neighborhood cleanups and children’s programs, provides gardening space in Laurie’s Community Garden, located on the corner of Vine and North Irving in Scranton. And Sunday, July 24, the group will be hosting a fundraiser event to benefit the garden at Jack’s Draft House. Jane Risse, manager of the garden, said the fundraiser is a great way for people to become involved with keeping the garden going. “It helps to raise awareness in the neighborhood and allow other people to know we’re there,” she said. “We’re helping to beautify the outside — we’ve planted shrubs and flowers and really

ALBUM REVIEWS Third time not a charm
It is quite frustrating when a band strays from the sound that initially broke it into the scene. Sometimes it happens for the better, but most of the time, the fans that helped the band succeed in the first place usually wind up let down. When We The Kings debuted its self-titled album in 2007, it hit it pretty big. The band headlined shows and shared the stage with big-name acts in its respective genre. WTK fell into a sophomore slump with “Smile Kid,” and now two years later, it’s back for another crack with “Sunshine State of Mind.” The new album proves what
path the band has chosen — one that leads to further regression. It seems like the group has taken everything bad about “Smile Kid” and rehashed it, only making it even worse by adding in unorthodox acoustic guitars with muddy vocals and production. Gone forever are the hooks that drove “Check Yes Juliet” and “Skyway Avenue.” Gone forever are the emotion-contained, fast-paced anthems. Even a similar duet single like “We’ll Be A Dream” makes no attempt to resurface — it’s all just gone. The first three tracks on the album seem to cater to 15-year-
Incubus “If Not Now, When?” Rating: W W W W W
A romantic return After taking a hiatus to pursue personal projects and essentially live life, alternative-rock mainstay Incubus reunites this month with “If Not Now, When?,” its first studio album since 200. Though the break seems to have mellowed the band a bit, the new album plays like a welcome return from an old friend and a respite from the conformity of modern music.
old girls. They’re sung by a monotone Travis Clark and are happy-go-lucky pop songs that a teenage band can write. One thing the album does prove is that upbeat tracks do not always equal catchy songs. The middle of the album lacks any type of emotional delivery and is just plain boring. The latter part is where it becomes tolerable with songs like “Over You” and “Kiss Me Last.” It’s clear nothing will redeem “Sunshine State of Mind” with such a lack of intensity and passion. It’s a shame We The Kings could not find the musicians in themselves that wrote its debut album. If it comes around, maybe the band will experience success again, but until then, it looks as though it will continue down the path of bland pop songs and regression. -- Matt Morgis Weekender Intern
The title track opens the album with a slow pace, thought-provoking lyrics and goosebump-inducing vocals, leading into “Promises, Promises,” which definitely leans more toward the pop genre. “Tomorrow’s Food,” which ends with an instrumentally perfect melody, compensates for the sentimentality that is omnipresent on the album, and “The Original” is surprisingly sweet and upbeat, while “Switchblade” rolls out like an ode to alternative rock in the simplest sense. An album standout is “In the Company of Wolves,” which starts off with innocent vocals and a pounding, startling beat that seems to reach a climax, and then jolts back down into a sexy, even-paced rhythm. The first single, “Adolescents,” is just as effective, with power running through its very backbone, in the guitar licks, vocals and lyrics. Incubus has already proven itself, but this album takes its sound to a new level, taking personal experiences that have been forged over its break and putting them into words and notes in a romantic, lilting compilation. “If Not Now, When?” is a bit of a stylistic departure, and one that promises to allow the band to maintain the delicate balance between its indie reputation and mainstream appeal. --Stephanie DeBalko Weekender Staff Writer

Music for everybody There is something about JD Malone & The Experts that makes it the type of band that can really be enjoyed by anybody.

proves that JD and company do not leave listeners wanting for more. This band did not go into the making of this release halfheartedly and really left no stone unturned when it came to contribution, inundating fans with 13 tracks and five live performances. In addition to those 18 tracks, a 37-minute DVD documentary on the recording of the album is also included. In case that wasn’t enough, the band also included a booklet with the release that holds all of the album’s lyrics and band member bios. On “Avalon“ the band does a stellar job of incorporating both its original material and some tried-andtrue rock staples, like a live cover of Tom Petty’s “I Should Have Known It” and a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son.” JD Malone & The Experts incorporates elements of country, classic rock and Southern rock on “Avalon.” Its music just has a natural mellow flow to it, yet JD Malone & The Experts maintains gritty rock undertones throughout, making this versatile album something that will be widely liked by those who hear it.

he title of a book usually says a lot about its contents, but in the case of “Professional Idiot: A Memoir,” by Stephen Glover (otherwise known as Steve-O) the title only brushes the surface of the reality star’s troubled past and public persona. Contrary to the impression Glover has made on the public as a perpetually loaded, uninhibited stuntman, his autobiography shows something very different: Someone who is honest, regretful and insightful in the most refreshingly unexpected ways. “Professional Idiot” leads the reader through the star’s life, including his childhood and his days with the MTV hit shows “Jackass” and “Wildboyz.” Glover hooks the reader from the first page, where he begins with a tale from his stay in the Orange County Correctional Facility, and his unabashed candor about his drug use, alcoholism and constant quest for fame is regaled in a voice that the reader not only relates to, but actually kind of likes. What makes Glover so
What makes Glover so likable is how open he is about how much of a jerk he was for most of his life.

Not such an 'Idiot'
likable is how open he is about how much of a jerk he was for most of his life and how much he regrets behaving that way now that he can see it all from a sober perspective. Where some celebrities pen autobiographies that drone on and on about nothing in particular, Glover’s sordid and seedy past, and even his childhood, makes for a fascinating read. While the subject matter is grim, the stories are tremendously impactful and cast a new and more mature light on Glover himself. And for Steve-O fans, the memoir provides interesting tidbits about his upbringing, like the fact that he was born in England, and his road to “Jackass,” which came about after he started filming his antics as a way to win back a girl in college (he didn’t get the girl). The book also gives commentary from co-stars and family members that illuminates all aspects of the issues Glover has dealt with, including his mother’s health issues and an eventual intervention that was sprung on him. It’s hard to distinguish whether or not embellishment plays a part in the memoir, but based on Glover’s past television record, it’s not difficult to believe he acted as a test subject for a pharmaceutical drug company or ended up drunk and in jail the night before his high school graduation. On “Jackass,” everybody saw Steve-O as a guy who seemed like he would do anything for the camera and who cared little for his own safety. While some of that might be true, “Professional Idiot” gives the other side of the story. Never has a book been so shockingly different from what it seemed it would be, and though the stories of Glover’s past behavior routinely end in disappointment, his current reflection colors those stories in a way that endears him to the reader.

ralphie report By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
lowly but surely, things are returning to normal for singer and former Disney star Demi Lovato. The 18 year old has seen her fair share of trials and tribulations over the past year — capped off by a trip to rehab last fall where she was treated for eating disorders and diagnosed as bipolar. Now, Lovato finds herself back in the headlines for all of the right reasons: A No. 1 iTunes song with “Skyscraper.” Fans and friends alike have voiced or tweeted approval for the track, which the teenager recorded a year ago while silently dealing with personal issues. “I took advantage of that hour and a half in the studio of me singing this song, and I was doubled-over in emotional pain,” Lovato said via telephone in an interview that aired Tuesday evening on “The Ralphie Radio Show.” “I used it as, almost what I look at now, as my cry for help.” Lovato finds it ironic that a year ago, she sang about her problems silently. Now, not only is she speaking openly and honestly, but she’s helping others in the process. The singer dreams that her give-and-take with fans extends not just on iTunes or Twitter, but on stage as well. “I dream about those moments all the time,” she responded when asked about one day performing
“Skyscraper” live, for an audience. “If I could, I’d do it tomorrow … but we have to rehearse first.” Lovato is not trying to get ahead of herself, either. While she deals with her personal issues one day at a time, the artist is also finishing up a new album. Lovato has no timeline for its release, and that’s probably a good thing. She noted that this is her first album that she didn’t have to record “in a month.” “Every other album I haven’t had time to really take my time and craft it like I really wanted to do because I was finding spare time between a television show and movies and touring and then all over again,” she said. “I’ve worked on (the album) for the past year and really gone hard over the past few months, but you can definitely tell that I took my time with this record.” Some big names are also making time for Lovato, including Kara DioGuardi, Toby Gad, and OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder — all big songwriters who the teen has recorded with for her third studio album. But those names pale in comparison to some of the other people who showed public support for Demi after the release of “Skyscraper.” Selena Gomez, Pete Wentz, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks and many more artists reached out to Lovato to congratulate her on the song. And Lovato says just about everyone in her phone book reached out personally to give props. “It’s the first single that I’ve ever released that has ever gone to radio, so I’m not really used to this reaction,” Lovato confessed. “I just feel like I’m in a dream right now, it’s crazy.” Given what she’s already faced at a rather young age, I’m sure this is one dream that Lovato isn’t trying to wake up from any time soon.

Final Potter mediocre magic
Y
ou can say whatever you want to about the “Harry Potter” phenomenon. Call it wildly overrated, simplistic or even claim that reading the books or watching the movies can lead children toward a dark, unholy path (read: They’ll become giant nerds), but no matter what it is people say, there is one important factor that makes the whole “Harry Potter” series a little more bearable: It isn’t “Twilight.” And generally speaking, the fact that “Harry Potter” isn’t “Twilight” is probably the only factor that keeps the property from teetering into hateful oblivion. As dreary wish-fulfillment fantasies go, the desire to retreat into a world where you’re a super wizard who everybody loves and nobody knocks the clarinet case out of your hands or throws your Magic Cards into the toilet isn’t nearly as dismal or embarrassing as the desire to retreat into the world where you’re in a committed but stiflingly chaste relationship with a glittering Dracula. For those who may be forced into watching the latest installment in the “Harry Potter” saga by a loved one or a lonely stranger with a gun, you will be happy to know that never once during “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2’s” two-hourand-10 minute running time will you find a Dracula. Glittering or
otherwise. So, things could be worse. In this, the fourth and final installment in E.K. Rowlejta’s sweeping Finnish tone poem, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2” finds our heroes Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Dumbledorf (Michael Gambon) and the boozy Daisy Gatsby (Emma Watson) as they return to the Shire to transmorph the evil Royal Dutch of Dukes, Volvervolve (Ralph Fiennes) into a cube and then be crushed by Kalevala (Jim Broadbent) and his army of tepid bears. Also, Muggles, Severus Snape, dragons and, oh let’s say Cylons are also involved in this at one point or another. Yes, the above synopsis is woefully inaccurate. Why, exactly? Two reasons: It’s always amusing to piss off pedantic nerds and reviewing a movie like “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2” is an empty gesture. Potter fans are going to see this movie regardless of whether someone says it’s good or not. Maybe they’ll refer to a review if it tells them what elements from the book didn’t make it on the screen, but that’s about it. Meanwhile, to the non-fan, the film’s actual quality carries very little weight. If they’ve seen only one, two or none of the films in the

movie review
Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger in a scene from the final film in the ’Harry Potter’ franchise. series, no review — no matter how persuasive — is going to convince anyone to watch something that will only serve to confuse them (granted, the final installment shouldn’t be coddling newcomers, but would it have killed the filmmakers to include a brief recap of the previous film?). So who exactly is this review
for? Who can say really? But for those who might be curious about the film’s actual quality and less concerned with whether or not Peeves the Poltergeist appears on screen (he doesn’t), the film is fast paced and watchable even though it’s essentially a collection of barely connected action set pieces. The performances are also fine, particularly
Alan Rickman, who plays Severus Snape with campy relish. Ultimately unless you’re a massive Potter-phile “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2” is the kind of affably mediocre film you would half-watch on cable in between naps on a Sunday afternoon two years from now. But, again, at least it isn’t “Twilight.”

WHO IS... DARA COSLETT GRANZA
Granza Olyphant
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 2011
Who is... DaraCoslett
D
ara Coslett Granza is a lover of animals, the performing arts and most recently, the culinary arts. “Baking cupcakes is my latest obsession,” she says. “I try to concoct one unique recipe a month.” The newfound love of baking surfaced after a stressful time in her life. “My dad was sick, and I was laid off from work for more than a year,” she shares. “Dreaming up recipes allowed me a creative outlet, and people are so darn happy when you surprise them with a cupcake!” An active volunteer, Dara sits on the advisory board of the Scranton Civic Ballet Company and is the publicity liaison for Cocktails for a Cause. Occupation: Executive Director, the Olga and Dorothea Dessin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Honesdale Craziest thing you’ve ever done: Hmm, those who know me would say I’m kind of a control freak and not much of a risk taker. But, I’d say it’s a tie between riding a camel in Morocco at age 16 and flying a plane for my 30th birthday. Places you’ve traveled and your ultimate favorite place: As a college mascot, I had the privilege of traveling throughout the United States while representing Temple University. As I mentioned, in high school, I vacationed in Morocco. I’ve also been to England, France and Spain. My husband and I honeymooned at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. I am in love with that town! I hope to retire there! What did you want to be when you grew up? Probably a ballerina, which broke my dad’s heart since he coached high school girls’ basketball, and I wound up 6 feet tall! I studied ballet for 18 years. Something you always keep in your car: Two doggie car seats (for my Scotties Murphy and Bonnie) and Windex wipes for when they “nose” up the windows Claim to fame: First female Temple University mascot 1996-2000

“I feel like everyone should wear what their style is, not what the magazines say it is.”

is a black shirt with black skirt and lots of accessories. I go to this because it’s never too oo dressy, it’s comfortable, able, and I can make it look however wever I want with different jewelry. ry. WEEKENDER:: Do you have any fashion n pet peeves? SAMANTHA: My biggest pet peeve is when people le try to dress like the latest trend only because everyone’s dressing like that. Fashion is the one way we can express ourselves, and I feel like everyone should wear ear what their style is, not what thee magazines say it is. WEEKENDER:: What is the biggest mistake you think people make when en it comes to fashion? SAMANTHA: I think the biggest mistake is wearing clothes that don’t fit your body right. I would love to see girls that have a shape wear clothes that show that off instead of hiding it. WEEKENDER: When did you start to develop your sense of fashion? SAMANTHA: I would say I started developing my sense of fashion around two years ago. I would look at Kim Kardashian, Kat Von D, and Dita Von Teese. Even though their styles are different, they all helped me develop the style that I call my own. WEEKENDER: Do you have a favorite local boutique? SAMANTHA: I really like The Vault in Dickson City.

WEEKENDER: Those eyebrows! How do you get them so perfect? SAMANTHA: It’s taken me forever to get them like this. I actually would just look at photos of Megan Fox and try to get them to look like hers. It takes lots of eyebrow filler and tweezing. WEEKENDER: What fashion advice do you have for women your age? SAMANTHA: My advice for girls my age would be to dress sexy without going overboard. Dress to impress yourself, not someone else. Don’t be afraid if you’re not a size zero to wear clothes that show off your figure — every woman has a beautiful shape. W
A Wet Seal black v-neck and Zoo Jeans are an ensemble to wear to the casino with friends.

esides Forever 21, Wet Seal, Victoria’s Secret, and T.J. Maxx, 22-year-old Samantha Krenitsky of Scranton loves to frequent second-hand shops. “I think you should only spend money on statement pieces, so any place cheap I will shop,” she told the Weekender. Feeling most comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt or yoga pants from Express, Samantha also knows how to dress it up for nights out with her friends. See the many looks of Samantha and learn a little more about this week’s Style Pick. WEEKENDER: How would you describe your look? SAMANTHA: I would say my look is comfortable sexy. Outfits that you can piece together to show off my assets while still being extremely comfortable. WEEKENDER: What do you own the most of? SAMANTHA: I own tons of v-neck T-shirts. I have about 20 black v-necks and around 30 white. They go with everything, and I love the way they look. WEEKENDER: What do you feel sexiest in? SAMANTHA: I feel sexy in form-fitting outfits. My figure is very curvy, so growing up, I never did feel sexy in anything that hugged my figure. Now I accept and love my body, so I like to wear clothes that show my figure off. WEEKENDER: Do you have a “go-to” outfit? SAMANTHA: I have a “go-to” going-out outfit which

SPEAK & SEE, FROM PAGE 56
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 2011
sign language By Caeriel Crestin
Weekender Correspondent
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Being blamed for something you’re not actually responsible for can be a terrible thing, especially when it’s not easy to disprove. I wish you could just let this roll off your back, but unfortunately in this case, even if you can successfully not care, the consequences aren’t so easily shed. You know the truth, though, and eventually that will win out — just not as soon as you’d wish. Don’t waste a lot of time being indignant. Stay calm, be forgiving, and maintain patience — these are the keys to your sanity right now. Don’t lose them or throw them away. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Everyone’s suffered some trauma from painful events they’ve experienced. Some, of course, are worse than others, but you can rest assured that virtually everyone you’ve encountered (unless they’re very new or lucky) has had to get over something (probably with varying degrees of success), not just you. It’s important that you come to these scenarios with as little of your own baggage as possible, so you can better deal with theirs. How successfully you can release the negative feelings associated with your own past is a factor in how good your present experiences are likely to be.
PAGE 58
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) You can’t often save someone from themselves, it’s true, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying. If a friend is engaged in self-destructive behavior, you should at least attempt to intervene. Naturally, they have to be a willing collaborator to truly fix the situation, but knowing someone’s keen to be there for them can go a long way towards making them ready to try. Don’t let the messiness of the situation — or the potentially long road ahead — keep you from sincerely making the offer. Not only will you be glad you did later, for various reasons, but if you don’t, it’s quite likely to come back to bite you in the ass. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) I admire your willingness to not throw in the towel the second things get rough, but before you commit to a long dreary slog of hard work, honestly evaluate how much (or how little) you’ve actually invested already, and the true potential of the situation — is it really worth it? Sometimes it’s best for all concerned if you just cut things off and get a fresh start somewhere else. Only you can tell which category this scenario falls into — a situation with tremendous potential that’s hit a rough patch,
GISELE BUNDCHEN July 20 1980 JON LOVITZ July 21 1957 SELENA GOMEZ (pictured) July 22 1992 DANIEL RADCLIFFE July 23 1989 JENNIFER LOPEZ July 24 1969 MATT LEBLANC July 25 1967 TAYLOR MOMSEN July 26 1993
or something that’s just too much effort for what you’re likely to get out of it. Honestly figuring that out is this week’s top priority. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You Archers are rarely hoarders; in fact, many of you relish casting off stuff from your pasts. Throwing shit out can be joyfully freeing. However, there have been times when you’ve regretted, later, some of the things you ditched. I’m not asking you to start lining your rooms with piles of junk, just in case, but evaluate how much space such things are actually taking up before you toss them in the trash. Can they happily reside out of sight and out of the way, in a box in your basement for a while? If so, consider that alternative. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) It’s one thing to keep kids in the dark or on a need-to-know basis about certain information; it’s quite another to treat someone who’s purportedly your equal this way. I’m not talking about the truly harmless white lies that keep many a relationship afloat; I refer instead to truly deceptive behavior (sometimes simply by withholding information that would be important to the person in question, perhaps because you fear their reaction to it). Full disclosure about everything can sink an otherwise happy boat, as you know, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. Important stuff needs to be said. Say it. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) You’ve heard the expression, “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” The idea is that if you decide to be greedy and
go for more than you have, you could end up with nothing. Given the current state of affairs, you should focus on being content with what you’ve got, if it’s enough to get by (financially, emotionally, etc) for now, instead of actively pursuing more, which could get you in trouble you can’t really afford. Chill out and focus on the amazing abundance in your life (it’s there, if you choose to notice it), instead of obsessing about whatever’s missing. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) People worry about the most absurd shit. It may shock you sometimes, the things you do that offend someone’s sensibilities, or make them uncomfortable. You’re right and they’re “wrong;” these things really don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. However, they do appear to matter to them. Since you actually don’t care that much one way or another, humor them, no matter how silly or “pointless” it seems. This will go a long way towards making your life easier and happier; as it’s really no big deal to you, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) You’re not a grudge-holder, generally. When you have something to say, you say it — then you move on, and usually forget all about it. That’s just fantastic. However, other people aren’t so good at getting things off their chests. They can hang onto things forever, things you wouldn’t waste more than a day or three thinking about and dealing with. That means they can really catch you off guard when they finally reveal (probably through roundabout, passive-aggressive means) that they’re still
pissed off about that thing that happened last month or last year. Try not to get too vexed about how silly they are for going there, after all this time. That won’t help. Pretend this thing just happened yesterday, for the sake of keeping the peace, and rectify the situation. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Some things are worth saving; you recognize that even if they have no value (or even negative value) now, they may prove quite worthwhile later, and you’ll be glad you tucked them away in an attic for a time when you might want to see them again. However, you Bulls can take this to extremes, and end up with cluttered lives and/or living spaces. That suits you right down to the ground, but isn’t necessarily so nice for anyone who shares your life or home. Being fair about the situation will probably mean making some concessions and letting go of stuff you’d rather not. However, unless you’re willing to let go of your loved one, instead, I’d suggest you do so without complaint. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) It can take some people ages to fully acknowledge and admit to their desires, particularly if they’re unconventional. Owning that they’re attracted to fat, old people, for example, isn’t something people can usually be open about early in their lives. So they go through the motions pretending to want a skinny young thing, because that’s what they’re “supposed” to want. Naturally, this never ends particularly well. You Geminis, who so often have paradoxically conflicting desires, are especially susceptible to this self-deception. Is that what’s going on here? When will you admit to — and pursue — what you really want? Let’s just hope that by then it’s not too late. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) What you think you know about someone may be so far off base it’s on another planet. Sometimes your “knowledge” is based on assumptions you shouldn’t have made; occasionally, it’s the result of outright lies you’ve been told. Regardless, when the truth comes out, it’s liable to be shocking. The more quickly you can get over your surprise and react from a conscious, thoughtful place, the less potentially messy and hurtful this situation will be. If you think you’re going to flip out, excuse yourself until you have a chance to chill out — for everyone’s sake. W To contact Caeriel, e-mail sign.language.astrology@gmail.com

The wild world of Warped
By Weekender Staff
PAGE 62
SCRANTON — Once again, the annual Scranton stop of the Vans Warped Tour was hotter than ever, but at least this year we’re not just talking about temperature. If we can toot our own horn for a minute, the Weekender Party Deck near the lawn was really a place to be Thursday, July 14, with autograph signings from Miss May I, Dance Gavin Dance and locals Motionless in White, whose line began to form a good hour before it was scheduled to appear. Plus we had great acoustic performances from Terrible Things, Kyle Demko of Always Undecided, a lively set from MC Lars and Weerd
Science, Street Dogs, Every Avenue and Shut Up & Deal. While these aforementioned performances were fantastic, the homerun of the day came from D.R.U.G.S., which did an autograph signing and then a kick-ass three-song set before a frenetic crowd just as the sun started to set. Seeing firsthand how D.R.U.G.S. and lead singer Craig Owens interacted with fans — not only while performing but as they were heading backstage afterward — really drove home the spirit of Warped. From tour bands doing signings and running their merch tents to seeing the musicians catching some of their tourmate’s sets and
Hayley Williams of Paramore performs on the main stage last week at the festival.
doing exclusive shows like we had on our deck, Warped gives fans a one-of-a-kind experience no other concert can provide. And that’s why we, as Weekender staffers and fans, go back every year. See you there in 2012! W

Never crave Taco Bell when drunk in a trailer park
This is what getting drunk in a trailer park will get you.

454-cubic inch “My cars aren’t red, but they sure do move like they are on fire,” says Fiorucci, the retired deputy fire chief for the city of Wilkes-Barre. The Impala is a two-door hard top with a 4-speed transmission that Fiorucci says is capable of 625 horsepower plus. W

ear Mom & Dad, Remember when you called me at school to tell me you put my childhood dog to sleep? I do! “I have some good news!” Mom shared over a phone call. “Blah! Blah! Blah!” is what I heard follow. “I also have some bad news!” Mom stressed. “We had to put the dog down. I’m sorry.” “What? When?” I shouted in disbelief that you guys wouldn’t call and tell me beforehand. “Last month!” Mom answered, crying uncontrollably. “Are you f--king nuts? The dog I got for my tenth birthday, you put to sleep last month, and you’re just telling me now?” “Your father didn’t want to upset you while you were at school,” Mom explained. Naturally pissed off, I hung up the phone immediately … well, after calling Mom a dog killer. I was ready to change my cell phone number so she could never reach me again — until I realized my phone was in your name, Dad. Since I just received my check from being on “I Survived A Japanese Game Show,” I decided to use that money and get myself a new dog, a pimp-ass $2,500 English bulldog. As you now know from raising my little fourlegged friend, I never got that bulldog. I blame it on the alcohol. One day my roommate’s girl-
friend and I were drinking by the pool outside of my apartment. She went inside to mix us new drinks, and when she didn’t return in due time, I decided to check on her. When I got inside she was watching a clip online of some woman defending an alleged sex offender on the local news. “That’s my sister!” she blurted in disgust. She then insisted she had to go home to talk to her mom about it. Since my roommate wasn’t home, I took her. “This is where you grew up?” I asked, as we entered a rundown trailer park. Before I knew it, I was drinking with her neighbor that lived in a bright blue trailer and ran a puppy mill. The last thing I remember was puking in the lady’s bathroom sink and screaming that I was craving Taco Bell. The next morning I woke up in my own bed with a baby Chihuahua staring me in the face. Apparently, I was its new owner. And apparently, I named him Brody BBQ, like Brody Jenner, the douche that came out of Bruce Jenner’s vagina. Love, Justin W What do you crave when you’re drunk?
