Saving a city is an art â&#x20AC;&#x153;Made in Kingstonâ&#x20AC;? at former Ulster Lighting space this Thursday celebrates arts-related businesses Kingstonians have been hoping for a long time now that the waves of revitalization that started in the Rondout and Stockade District would eventually converge on Midtown and wash away decades of urban blight, poverty, crime and neglect. Slowly but surely this desired process has indeed been happening, as manifested by such art-

sy tenants as the Shirt Factory, the Deep Listening Space, the Seven21 Media Center and AIR Studio Gallery. As New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SoHo and TriBeCa neighborhoods found out in the 1980s, where artists seeking cheap rent make their beachheads, other businesses are sure to follow. The latest prize up for grabs in Midtown Kingston is a vacant storefront that used to house the Ulster Lighting retail outlet at 572 Broadway. While it awaits a lease with some dynamic new tenant, the storefront will be put to use this Thursday evening, December 12 as an exhibition space to host a special event showcasing all things â&#x20AC;&#x153;Made in Kingston.â&#x20AC;? The brainchild of Joe Deegan of Deegan Sanglyn Real Estate and Bob Ryan of Ryan & Ryan Insurance, principals of

British-style pantomime Sleep Frog The Brits have a great holiday tradition. We’re talking about pantomime, a/k/a “panto”: the creation of silly takes on traditional tales where crossdressing is the norm and wittiness the form, the songs come fast and furious (and quite familiarly, being based on current hits) and everyone comes in for a bit of lampooning. Here in the Hudson Valley, the best and possibly only consistent panto comes out of the Ghent Playhouse, in Columbia County between Hudson and Chatham, where a small troupe (many of them British) have been participating in the holiday fun for 14 years, running their productions between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Last year the “play” was on Robin Hood. The live band was fun, the political sendup use of songs (à la the Capitol Steps) acute and jolly and even the small-scale old community theater space and preshow refreshments (there is no intermission) were memorably merry. According to producer/writer Judy Graber, who first started seeing panto as a young lass in Bristol, everyone gets

JACQUES LUIGI

Visions of Sugar Plum Fairies New York City Ballet dancers Daniel Ulbricht & Erica Pereira headline Nutcracker at the Bardavon

hen one lives in the mid-Hudson Valley, it becomes easy to take our proximity to Manhattan for granted and forget that for many people, a Yuletide visit to the Big Apple is the travel dream of a lifetime. Certain components of such a vacation are considered essential: strolling down Fifth Avenue to peer into the elaborately decorated shop windows; touring Central Park while snuggled under a blanket in a horsedrawn carriage; watching the ice skaters underneath the huge Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. And then there’s catching The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center, as performed by the New York City Ballet (NYCB). Every little burg in America has its Nutcracker production, it seems, but the level of spectacle offered by NYCB is unrivaled: the splendor of the sets and lighting, the elaborate costumes, the awe-inspiring sight of a majestic, fully decorated tree slowly rising up out of the trap door in the stage, the topnotch pit orchestra playing Tchaikovsky’s lush score – not to mention the world-class dancing to George Balanchine’s iconic choreography. It’s the definitive version of the beloved ballet, and an experience that everyone

should have at least once in a lifetime. If you can’t make it to NYC, you might be well-advised to gravitate to a highly professional annual production in our region that’s put on by two veterans of NYCB: Peter and Lisa Naumann, artistic directors of the New Paltz Ballet Theatre. Not only do they know how to do this holiday tradition right, but the Naumanns also remain well-connected with their former colleagues, and are able to attract a couple of current NYCB dancers to perform the most demanding adult roles in The Nutcracker at the Bardavon. The performances this weekend will feature Erica Pereira, an NYCB soloist since 2009, and Daniel Ulbricht, a principal dancer since 2007. Costumes and scenery for the dream sequences, in the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets, were designed by Ray Delle Robbins of the Houston Ballet and Houston’s Theatre under the Stars. The Naumanns themselves do the staging and choreography, and their New Paltz Ballet Theatre students perform the many roles for young dancers that help make this extravaganza so popular across America. The New Paltz Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker will be presented on Saturday, December 14 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. and

on Sunday, December 15 at 3 p.m. Tickets cost $29 general admission, $26 for students and $24 for Bardavon members. They are available at the Bardavon box office at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie, (845) 473-2072; the Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) box office at 601 Broadway in Kingston, (845) 339-6088; or via TicketMaster at (800) 745-3000 or www.ticketmaster.com.

Making spirits bright Mohonk Mountain Stage Company presents humorous holiday shorts at Unison in New Paltz this weekend

his may be officially the season of good will and good cheer, but let’s

face it: By the time December is halfover, many of us who plan to celebrate the end-of-year holidays are getting more than a little frazzled. On top of our usual commitments, there are altogether too many people to shop for, parties to cook for, messy spaces to clean up in time for company – not to mention a cultural expectation that we must act festive and feel sociable, at that darkest point in the year when our most basic survival instincts are telling us that it’s time to cocoon. Evolutionarily speaking, that social pressure may be good for us, considering that we now live in an age of supermarkets and central heating instead of in caves. But that doesn’t change the fact that a lot of perfectly nice folks get grumpy as Christmastime draws near. The more that we have on our to-do lists, it seems, the more sympathetic a character we find skeptical old Ebenezer Scrooge. Thus it behooves us to choose wisely what we do with our precious hours of downtime in busy mid-December. That’s where the Mohonk Mountain Stage Company (MMSC) comes in.

veryone has a favorite holiday movie. There are a lot of great choices; but if you took a poll, it’s a fair bet that the most popular of all would prove to be Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. Although it didn’t recoup its production costs upon its initial theatrical release, and the only Oscar that it won was for Technical Achievement (for coming up with a less noisy alternative to cornflakes to simulate snow onscreen), it went on to become one of Hollywood’s bestloved products ever. It’s sort of the mid-20th-century, middle-American version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol: a tale of redemption in which supernatural agents lead the protagonist to review and reconsider the profound impacts on other people of the choices that he has made in his life. Some regard the 1946 film’s depiction of small-town life as overly sentimental; but the American Film Institute put it in first place on its list of the “most inspirational” American movies ever, and many millions of viewers clearly feel the same way. James Stewart, who starred as the self-sacrificing George Bailey, called it his favorite of all the films in which he had appeared during his long career. J. Edgar Hoover apparently didn’t agree, finding the casting of Lionel Barrymore as the greedy banker Henry Potter, “the most hated man in the picture,” subversive. Calling this “a common trick used by Communists,” a 1947 FBI memo complained that It’s a Wonderful Life “deliberately maligned the upper class, attempting to show the people who had money were mean and despicable characters.” That’s a bit ironic, in light of the fact that Capra claimed that his own motivation in making the film was “to combat a modern trend toward atheism.” Considering the role of the big banks in the 2008 economic meltdown, maybe It’s a Wonderful Life has acquired fresh pertinence for the modern age. Maybe it’s high time to see it again. The original movie version is always on TV around the winter

Center, sagely chooses to put on a show this time of year that will provide the theatrical catharsis of hilarity. The exact contents of the gaily beribboned package that MMSC will be presenting to us this weekend under the title Laughing All the Way remain, appropriately, a tantalizing mystery; but the New Paltz-based thespians hint at a selection of “comic pieces and short plays” that constitute “traditional and not-so-traditional holiday fare.” Subject matter may include such universal end-of-year challenges as “shopping, fruitcakes and dealing with difficult family members.” Kit Colburn, Jeff Battersby, Rick Meyer, Elizabeth Barrows, William Connors, Christine Crawfis and Robert Miller will be the actors doling out the light seasonal fare at Unison this Friday and Saturday, December 13 and 14 beginning at 8 p.m., and Miller will be directing. Advance tickets cost $18 general admission, $14 for Unison members, and $2 more at the door. Students get in for half-price with a valid ID. To order, visit www.unisonarts. org or call (845) 255-1559. – Frances Marion Platt Mohonk Mountain Stage Company’s Laughing All the Way, Friday/ Saturday, December 13/14, 8 p.m., $20/$18/$16/$14, Unison Arts, 68 Mountain Rest Road, New Paltz; (845) 255-1559, www.unisonarts.org.

Cocoon Theatre in Rhinebeck performs The Sleep Principle Cocoon Theatre will produce The Sleep Principle, an original play by M. San Millan, performed by Production Program students for its 20th an-

nual holiday show. The Sleep Principle weaves together the tales of Sleeping Beauty, Rip Van Winkle and Alice in Wonderland, asking audiences to ponder the question, “Are you awake or asleep?” The fun-filled evening is appropriate for all ages. Performances will tale place on Friday and Saturday, December 13 and 14 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, December 15 at 3 p.m. Tickets cost $15 (pay at the door by cash or check). Seating is limited. To reserve a seat, call (845) 876-6470. Cocoon Theatre is located at 6384 Mill Street (Route 9) in Rhinebeck. For more information, visit www.cocoontheatre.org.

Elephant Room this weekend at Bard The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College will present the comedic play Elephant Room on Friday and Saturday, December 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. each night and Sunday, December 15 at 2 p.m. A post-performance discussion with the cast and Gideon Lester, director of Theater programs, will follow the Friday, December 13 performance. The show stars Dennis Diamond, Marcus Pocus and Daryl Hannah and is suitable for children age 6 and older. Filled with off-the-wall magic and sublime comedy, Elephant Room examines the childlike wonder of three deluded illusionists who choose to live their off-center lives by sleight-of-hand. Written by Steve Cuiffo, Trey Lyford and Geoff Sobelle in collaboration with the magicians, Elephant Room is directed by Paul Lazar. Performances take place at the

holidays; but wouldn’t a new interpretation in a live medium be fun for a change? The Rosendale Theatre Collective’s Ann Citron is directing a production this weekend of It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, a stage adaptation by Joe Landry that is presented in the format of a 1940s radio show. The show will be performed with live sound effects and music by Rosendale’s resident percussion guru Fre Atlast. Five actors – Claudia Brown, Kimberly Kay, Brian Mathews, Jim Metzner and Doug Motel – will play 50 roles. Performances will take place on Friday and Saturday, December 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, December 15 at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $15 general admission and $10 for children age 12 and under, and can be ordered online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/515868. Find out more about it at http://rosendaletheatre.org or by calling (845) 658-8989. All the proceeds of ticket sales from this special event go to benefit the Rosendale Theatre. Currently in the midst of major renovations, the vintage tin-ceilinged movie palace is a community asset of which George Bailey would have approved, even if the despicable Mr. Potter would have preferred to have it torn down to make way for a glitzy multiplex. If it’s true, as the angel Clarence avers, that the everyday decisions of one person can make a world of difference in the lives of his or her neighbors, then here’s a simple way to enhance the quality of life in a small American town – and have a good time while you’re at it. You may even hear some little bell ring (that’s your cue, Fre!) as you earn your theatrical angel’s wings. – Frances Marion Platt It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, Friday/Saturday, December 13/14, 7:30 p.m., Sunday, December 15, 2 p.m., $15/$10, Rosendale Theatre, 408 Main Street, Rosendale; (845) 658-8989, http://rosendaletheatre.org, www.brownpapertickets. com/event/515868.

his Massachusetts childhood to Austin, Nashville, Dublin and – on several different occasions – Woodstock. Timeless, political, comic or mythological: No subject is off-limits in Pacheco’s enormous catalogue of songs. The only constants are the lucidity of his observations and his clean, metrically precise lines. So much new folk plays by an unwritten commandment: Thou shalt not recognize or mention anything that happened after 1960. The abdication of the present has its aesthetic uses, of course,

and Dylan and the Band often played by their own version of the same code. But while Pacheco can evoke that weird old America with the best of them, he also recognizes that a newsy topicality has always been part of the folk inheritance, and folk music cannot fulfill its purpose without that critical eye on the present. His recent song “YouTube” is a lavishly detailed catalogue of Internet Age absurdities, outrages and indignities in a 12-bar saloon blues: “Nothing’s sacred anymore, dude; put it on YouTube.” Pacheco’s life story is worth reading. It is full of far-flung travels, near-misses, major label signings and dumpings, sustained success abroad and a lot of time repairing in the Catskills. Speaking of which: Tom Pacheco plays at the Rosendale Café on Saturday, December 21 at 8 p.m. He’ll be joined for part of his set by Woodstock man of letters and Dobro-player Brian Hollander, who makes noise locally in the Saturday Night Bluegrass Band, a collective of heavy-hitting pickers and grinners. Admission costs $15. The Rosendale Café is located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale. For more information, visit www.rosendalecafe.com or call (845) 658-9048.

CONCERT

Sonic surprise Mike Rivand and John Medeski join forces in Club D’elf at the Falcon in Marlboro

lub D’elf epitomizes the idea of the “loose musical collective.” In a paradox that is common among collectives, there’s usually one constant around which the elements collect, one dude at the center making all the phone calls. In this case that dude is the highly regarded Boston-based bassist and guitarist Mike Rivand. The groove-perimental, jazzdelic nature of the project attracts a certain kind of player, and the overall buzz factor of Club D’elf gets goosed a bit when John Medeski is on board, as he will be at the Falcon in Marlboro on Sunday, December 15. Club D’elf plays largely improvisational fusion/world/groove music in a lineage that probably begins with Miles Davis in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. As in the Miles fusion tradition, composed elements are minimal but effective. The additional postmodern spin here is the use of samples, spoken-word elements and abundant “world” sounds and feels. But whether the playing is buttoned down or completely unanchored and spacebound, the collective’s sense of good humor, wit and adventure never falters. The Falcon show begins at 7 p.m. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro. For more information, visit www.liveatthefalcon.com. – John Burdick

Admission is free. Goodwill donations will be collected to benefit a local Hudson Valley charitable organization. A holiday reception will follow the service, and all are invited. No tickets are required for this service; however, it is suggested that attendees arrive at the Monastery at least 20 minutes before the performance to ensure availability of seating.

FRANK VIGNOLA PLAYS ROSENDALE CAFÉ THIS FRIDAY

azz guitar whiz Frank Vignola is sometimes called a swing guitarist, but in fact his competencies encompass most of what we call jazz. Still, Vignola is best known for his Django sets and for his talents at song interpretation: an art that so much post-swing jazz has left in the dust in favor of its advanced harmonic explorations. Vignola’s taste for tunesmithery led him to his adventurous album Melody Magic (2013), a collection of mostly classical music covers on guitar. The swinging take on Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony might come off as a bit of a novelty, but by the time you reach the luminous and stunning arrangement of Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite, you know that this is serious business after all. Frank Vignola appears with notable trumpeter Warren Vache at the Rosendale Café on Friday, December 13 at 8 p.m. Admission costs $20. The Rosendale Café is located at 434 Main Street in Rosendale.

force of tuneful and audacious songwriting that both exemplifies and transcends the private-school, deconstructive indierock sensibility of the early ‘90s. When it rocks, it does in fact mimic the impaired, cocky swagger of Mick Taylor-era Stones; but the real charms of Exile in Guyville lie its many colors of lo-fi bedroom ballad: “Dance of the Seven Veils,” “Explain It to Me,” “Canary” and “Flower,” several of which sound more like a feminist retort to Big Star’s epically weird Sister Lovers than to any classic rock staple. If you are already down with Exile in

Guyville, you certainly won’t want to miss our local luminaries as they take a swing at it. But if this is your opportunity to hip up and get to know what is truly a decadedefining work, take it. You’ll understand everything that has happened since just a little better. The Tributon starts at 10 p.m. There is no cover charge. Market Market is located at 1 Madeline Lane in Rosendale.

ANDREW MACGREGOR

Mike Amari in front of BSP on Wall Street in uptown Kingston

Pioneering sound:BSP’s Mike Amari

ike Amari began booking music shows at BSP on Wall Street in Kingston in early 2012, not long after the club came under the control of it new managers, who were friends of Amari’s from their days at SUNY-Oneonta. At first, Amari managed only the Thursday-night Revue series. That night commanded a lot of attention and respect locally. The Revue took risks and featured kinds of music that hadn’t received much hospitality around here before. Amari also quickly became known for his poster-design skills and his savvy event promotion. By April 2012, Amari had taken over as the head “talent buyer” at BSP. Signature early shows included the husband-and-wife team of Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby and the first of several events known as Soul Clap: dance party bacchanalia hosted by the famous deejay Jonathan Toubin. Since then, Amari and company have positioned BSP as one of the four or five major music clubs in the region (others include Club Helsinki in Hudson, the Bearsville Theater, the Falcon in Marlboro and the newly reopened Towne Crier in Beacon) and the only one routinely to

feature experimental, alternative, ambient and all manner of indie acts. The success of BSP has made it a flagship business in the resurgence of uptown Kingston. Recent bookings have included Sean Lennon, Kurt Vile, Man Man, Lucius, Richard Buckner and many more national notables, as well as a steady stream of sympathetic local acts. Amari has also emerged as a highly visible regional musician, both as a drummer with his partner Shana Falana and as the songwriter/frontman of the garage-rock band Lovesick. During the weeks in which Amari and I conducted the following conversation, BSP experienced what Amari regards as a breakthrough with a nearly sold-out Tuesday-night show featuring the up-and-coming band Future Islands. “This one felt like a real turning point,” he said. “A year ago, this could not have happened. Our network of people, our relationship with local stores, promotional alleys and general ‘prestige’ really showed itself with that show. A lot of kids from Bard, young Woodstockers and Kingston/ Rosendale’s 25-to-40 year olds came out in force for the first time on a weekday night. It was really something.”

Certiﬁed as Hudson Valley’s Newest Assisted Living Residence

Almanac Weekly’s John Burdick: Mike, you are the author of what I’d call some of the most intentional booking I have seen around here: booking with a purpose and with a point. It is always hard to balance a sense of cultural purpose with filling houses and selling drinks, and in my opinion BSP faces an even more complex identity problem than most Hudson Valley venues. You didn’t inherit an audience or a default style or demographic. Your BSP is a pioneering thing – carved out of the virgin forest, as it were. The other prominent “from nothing” music club in the Hudson Valley is the Falcon in Marlboro, and that’s a special case because it all came from Tony’s connections in the jazz world and his love of very specific kinds of music. The Falcon is an expression of one person’s tastes in a way that most venues could never afford to be. What you have learned about balancing cultural purpose with the realities of business and with the audiences available to you? Do you view yourself as someone who is cultivating an audience, not just tapping one that already existed here? Mike Amari: I moved to the area [Woodstock] a little over three years ago, and while I loved what the area offered, it was apparent very early on that there was a void. I was living with two friends who are about my age, mid-20s, and in Woodstock especially, we were more likely to frequent parties in the middle of the woods or stay at home than to go see a show... Every now and then something would come together somewhere and it would be cool, but there wasn’t a consistent place to go where you

knew it would be quality, it wouldn’t be expensive and, most importantly, where it would be peopled by other 20-somethings. Not inheriting an audience gave me a lot of freedom to book stuff that wasn’t happening anywhere else: mainly ambient, experimental and electronic music, which became the nexus of my Thursdaynight Revue series. The success of that was important; when I took over all of the booking at BSP in July ’12, I came into it with a confidence in my approach. I didn’t feel a need to bend to the trends of the area (mainly classic/roots rock bands, reggae and straight-up jam/funk bands) because I had already experienced a strong response from people regarding the Revue. What’s really special is that my partners at the venue are supportive of my “style” of booking, so putting the brand first when it comes to booking has been easy. ... I came into booking with almost no connections whatsoever. The success we have built as a venue has come solely from our authenticity – meaning we book what we know and know what we book. We research every band that we are considering bringing in, and meet weekly to recap the recent shows and work on upcoming ones. We make our own posters, we are very active on social media and we’re all musicians and under 30. Those are significant differences from other local venues. Of course, there is a magic to booking a venue. Sometimes things fall into place and bills come together that no one could have planned, but are just perfect. The William Tyler/Richard Buckner show happened totally randomly, but was a very powerful and successful show, and the musicians themselves were excited to play together. To answer your question, though, I think we are tapping into an audience that has been in the Hudson Valley for a long time, and it’s more about ethos than any particular bands. Kingston itself has a rich group of DIY-ers: people who put on

warehouse shows with Jon Spencer and who would go on to create the O+ Festival, which is a major part of why my partners and I ended up in BSP. We look to that group of people as mentors, and they’ve embraced us as protégés. Being centrally located in the mid-Hudson region helps, being in such a cool neighborhood (historically and architecturally) helps, and making major inroads with two nearby art-minded colleges doesn’t hurt either. John Burdick: BSP has been drawing in bigger and bigger names from the “indie world” and beyond. How much of that would you say is because of the growing prestige of your room, the snowball effect? How much because bigger names are being driven to smaller places by the economic realities of music these days, and they’re seeking you out? Mike Amari: Mainly it’s the snowball effect. Word-of-mouth between bands, booking agents, managers and so on is a very real, powerful thing. And beyond that, the people who are in the audience – accomplished musicians, industry people and studio engineers, in addition to fans – all spread the word and suggest us as a place to play. Social media plays a big part in this as well, and I feel we use social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram specifically) in a much stronger way than other venues in the area. Also, I’ve found that booking agents really look at who has recently played the club and what’s scheduled for the near future. If I can say to an agent, “Kurt Vile is playing here in two weeks,” that holds more weight than anything else, in terms of legitimizing this small venue in a town they’ve probably never heard of. Economically, if you are a successful band, one of the few ways you can still make money is touring. So bands are doing it more often than ever, and we’re a good “small market” that they can use as an alternative to Ithaca, Albany and so on. Man Man, for example, has played Albany, Hudson, Ithaca and Kingston in the last year-and-a-half. Ours was the only one that sold out! The other factor is that our sound is extremely good for a small venue. A number of the “bigger” shows (Kurt Vile, Sean Lennon) we’ve done were essentially warm-up shows for a large-scale tour. Kurt Vile kicked off a worldwide tour at our place, warming up for his headlining set the next night at Terminal 5 in New York City (3,000 capacity!) Without a good sound system and in-house engineer (Dan Votke), those shows would definitely not be happening for us. John Burdick: Without feeling that you have to disclose the details, have you guys really been out on a limb with some of these bigger bookings (Sean Lennon, Kurt Vile, Man Man) regarding guarantees and such? Is it possible you have even looked at a few of these bookings as “loss leader”type shows, where you build prestige but

ALMANAC WEEKLY

December 12, 2013 lose money?

Mike Amari: Well, we certainly don’t go into any shows as a “loss leader.” We get together as a group and analyze any data we have to try to figure out approximately how many tickets will sell for a show. We look at any past shows the band has played in our area, ticket prices, how long ago that may have been, whether the band has a publicist or a good label that will help promote things on their end, whether the show coincides with a new release or big announcement – those sorts of things. Like any venue, we have had shows fail financially. You might look back saying, “That was a good show; it brought us oth-

“We’re a hard group of people to impress up here, because we’re kind of used to seeing a very high level of talent” er shows that were successful,” but that is usually only in hindsight. And as a talent buyer, this is all my responsibility: to accurately project what will or will not work financially. We have definitely turned down opportunities with bands/artists we really love or are well-known, because it would not make sense financially. A big part of that is we want our shows to be affordable. We could have easily charged $25 for the Sean Lennon show, but we chose to do $15. We don’t want money to be a factor in people’s decision about whether they can come to one of our shows. John Burdick: I know you are deluged with interest from touring acts these days. I also know that, no matter how good they look “on paper,” many won’t draw as well as a happening young local band with a mobilized group of friends. What’s your view of balancing local and national acts? Mike Amari: Yeah, well, you have to remember that any person/band with enough money can have tons of “likes” on Facebook, plays on their Soundcloud, press articles even. So ultimately it’s going to keep coming back to the music, and recommendations from people/sites that you trust. New bands are the hardest to gauge, and usually the least put-together live, so by that logic they are the riskiest books. In terms of the local/national balance, I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I think to grow a scene, it’s crucial to have a mix of both every chance you get. This obviously means locals opening for big national acts, but it also means putting an unknown regional act in the middle of two strong local acts. When you mix the two, you hopefully help your local acts make connections with those non-local acts, which will

come in handy if they want to tour, which is still a total necessity for a band trying to break through nationally. Also, especially with the bigger booking agencies, I usually send multiple local support options and let them listen to the acts and do a little research of their own on who they would like to open. This definitely has helped some local or unknown artists get their music in the hands of established industry people. John Burdick: You and the new management at BSP have put a lot of thought and effort into the idea of a sustainable culture – a “scene” in uptown Kingston. Do you feel that the essential “success factors” are in place for that? What are some of those factors? In fact, what, to your mind, is a scene? Mike Amari: Well, for me a scene is when you have a lot of very talented bands in a concentrated area. They are feeding off of one another, coming up together and eventually break through on some largerscale level as a collective. And along the way, there are genuine fans. So by that definition, I don’t really see the Hudson Valley as having a scene, or even striving to. What I see – highly talented artists/ musicians/creative types attending each other’s shows, but not much in the way of fans – is more in tune with the old artistcolony history of the area. We’re a hard group of people to impress up here, because we’re kind of used to seeing a very high level of talent, an unusually high level of talent in our low-population area. So, getting back to the question, I think we have put most of our goals for the venue into place, and are very close to hitting the ceiling of what we can do with the small amount of space that we have. The natural progression, then, is to look at that huge back space connected to our building and find a way to present performances back there, and that’s what we’re working on. Our “success factors” are simple: Consistently provide programming that we believe in, price tickets modestly and take good care of the musicians/artists. John Burdick: Here’s a personal question: You said before – accurately – that touring is where acts make their money these days, but that’s a relative truth. Performance earnings are down considerably too – just not quite as “in the toilet” as earnings from recordings. As a working musician, booking agent/promoter and graphic designer, you are essentially “allin” on music at a time when it is debatable whether there even is a music economy anymore. How do you feel about that? Do you see yourself ever following your various competencies outside of music, toward better rewards? Or is it music for you, ‘til death do you part? Mike Amari: It’s a bit of a disease. I’m responsible, organized, hard-working and have always done well with regular jobs; but I get so much more satisfaction out

of the work I do now, and happily work longer and harder for less money than I did when I had a Monday-to-Friday, 9-to5 job. With my particular agreement with BSP, I have so much freedom in what I book and how we present it, and it all goes hand-in-hand, making everything stronger. I’ll book a band that I love, create an interesting, unique poster for the show, get the word out about it, see the band play, see a crowd of people come check out the show and literally watch people fall in love with a band, or see a band that they love in their backyard instead of driving down to the City. And I get paid! It’s crazy. But you do have to go “all-in” these days. The crossover between being a musician, a promoter, helping with O+ Festival and so on is tremendous, and I don’t know that I’d be happy doing just one of those things. My work as a promoter has only increased since I started a year-and-a-half ago, and therefore so has my compensation, so I don’t think I’ll really consider changing what I’m doing until that stops happening.

1985

December 12, 2013

Dallas Buyers Club is based on a real-life character named Ron Woodroof, an electrician and amateur rodeo rider who was diagnosed with full-blown AIDS in 1985 and had a toxic reaction to AZT, the only treatment approved by the FDA at the time

Too ornery to die

McConaughey & Leto shine in gritty Dallas Buyers Club

or those too young to remember the AIDS crisis of the 1980s clearly, or who were never a member of what was then called the “4-H Club” – homosexuals, heroin addicts, hemophiliacs and Haitians, the demographics then at highest risk for HIV infection – it has become deceptively easy to move on from the terror of those times, which followed hard on the heels of the laissezfaire sexual scene of the post-Pill ‘60s and ‘70s. Today it’s common to hear about HIV-infected people who have gone on to lead long, relatively normal lives, and lately we even read in the news about former patients who are testing completely clear of the virus. The down side of this mostly good news is that Americans are becoming dangerously complacent about AIDS, taking it for granted that the medical establishment is on the case and can fix us if we get careless. But it wasn’t always so. In fact, three decades ago, some fairly serious gay journalists were quite willing to entertain the hypothesis that the epidemic had been deliberately seeded by some government agency with an agenda of wiping out population subgroups deemed “undesirable.” Some people probably still believe that. The US Centers for Disease Control, the Department of Health, the Food and Drug Administration and Big Pharma were all painfully slow in responding to the biggest public health crisis since the invention of the polio vaccine, and tens of thousands died possibly preventable deaths due to their inaction. There’s a lot of human drama inherent in that story, but for some reason Hol-

lywood has been loath to grapple with it. There are plenty of fine documentaries out there about the AIDS crisis, but precious little in the way of big-budget feature films in the two decades since Jonathan Demme’s Philadelphia. Considering that the latter was a critical and box-office hit, winning Oscars for Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen and a nomination for screenwriter Ron Nyswaner, one wonders why. Well, Dallas Buyers Club has finally come along to fill that gap, and does so most admirably. It was a long time in the making, the premise – based on a 1992 Dallas Morning News interview by Bill Minutaglio – running through the hands of a string of screenwriters and director candidates before finally settling in with Jean-Marc Vallée. A long list of potential stars also took turns being associated with the project, and few would have predicted that Matthew McConaughey, whose silver screen success has largely rested on lightweight rom/coms, would have been the one to take the offer seriously enough to drop 38 pounds in order to look the part of a man at death’s door.

The acting by Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto is outstanding with a prestigious award or three. Dallas Buyers Club is based on a reallife character named Ron Woodroof, an electrician and amateur rodeo rider who was diagnosed with full-blown AIDS in 1985 and had a toxic reaction to AZT, the only treatment approved by the FDA at the time. Unwilling to accept his 30-day death sentence, Woodroof organized an audacious campaign to smuggle vitamin and protein supplements and unapproved antiviral drugs into Dallas, at first from Mexico and then farther abroad. To work around some of the illegalities of his operation, he set up a buyers’ cooperative and sold memberships, instead of the drugs themselves: a business model that was replicated widely and successfully throughout the US at the time. According to Minutaglio, the real Woodroof had no particular problem with gay people and declined to divulge how he contracted HIV. The movie version ups the dramatic ante by making its protagonist a brawling, whoring, foul-mouthed, alcoholic, coke-snorting homophobe who apparently caught the disease from a female prostitute.

antihero, but he’s by no means a likable or admirable guy. McConaughey, who has shown a knack for coming across as irritatingly cocky even in vehicles where he was playing the handsome young male romantic lead, turns out to be perfect casting for the role after all. His Ron Woodroof seems just too ornery and full of himself to die lying down. Dallas Buyers Club doesn’t offer any miraculous moments with swelling strings on the soundtrack in which this scoundrelly character redeems himself, but redemption overtakes him nonetheless – haltingly, in small increments, interspersed with many a step backwards (including unprotected drunken interludes with hookers after he already knows that he’s infectious). The prime vector for that redemption the testy, begrudging friendship that he develops with Rayon/Raymond, a transgendered fellow patient who provides access to the gay subculture that Ron needs in order to build membership in the buyers’ club. Jared Leto turns in a stellar performance as Rayon, eschewing the big screen’s usual camp-and-vamp approach to transvestism in favor of a sense of tragic dignity unsurpassed since Jaye Davidson in The Crying Game in 1992. Ron never stops flinging the six-letter F-word around Rayon even after they become business partners (though he sometimes replaces it with “idiot”). But as Rayon’s condition declines, Ron begins to get protective of someone other than himself for the first time, tapping into a nurturing instinct that he never knew he had. He even finds it in himself to make a romantic gesture or two and acknowledge a desire to have children. Audiences hoping for a big reveal that the cad’s aggressive homophobia is a mask for closeted homoerotic yearnings will be disappointed; but there are some tender moments between Ron and his doctor (Jennifer Garner) after she has become disillusioned with her hospital’s unwillingness to try anything but AZT with her AIDS patients. Dallas Buyers Club is by no stretch of the imagination a feel-good movie, but it’s not the total downer that one might imagine, either. The narrative pace occasionally lags, and its nearly-two-hour running time would have profited from ten or 15 minutes’ worth of tightening. But the acting by Leto and McConaughey is so outstanding that an occasional glance at

Right after blueberries’ leaves drop, I spread ten to 20 pounds of soybean meal over the thousand square feet of planted area, then top them with a fresh layer of wood chips or leaves or wood shavings

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Getting buff by buffering soil Who needs a health club when you can be shoveling mulch?

’m getting a lot of mulchercise here at the farmden these days. It’s good for me and good for the ground and, in turn, my plants. Four piles of materials await me: a pile each of new and old wood chips, and a pile each of new and old leaves. The new pile of leaves is going to sit out this year’s mulchercise sessions. After a winter of settling and some decomposition, that pile

will be just right for being planted with squash and melon plants. The lanky vines can run wild over the pile through summer; and then, next year at this time, I’ll spread the much-reduced pile. Last year’s leaf pile, from which I harvested this year’s squashes and melons, is part of my present mulchercise. The nowdark-brown material is getting hauled over to and spread beneath currant bush-

tion further nourish plants by dissolving additional nutrients from the rock matrix in which the soil was formed. And finally, organic chelates in humus grab onto some nutrients to render them more readily accessible to roots.

Biologically, mulch is food for fungi, bacteria and other soil organisms

I didn’t forget to mention my new wood chip pile; that mulch is getting carted over to blueberry heaven – heaven for the blueberries, that is (also for me, during summer’s harvest). Each autumn, right after blueberries’ leaves drop, I spread ten to 20 pounds of soybean meal over the thousand square feet of planted area, then top them with a fresh layer of wood chips (this year) or leaves or wood shavings. Some years I also spread sulfur pellets over the ground to maintain the soil acidity that blueberry plants require – not that often, though, because another benefit of an organic mulch is that it buffers changes in soil acidity, offering plenty of wiggle room in what range keeps the plants happy. The mulch also buries any berries infected with “mummy berry” disease: a problem that I never have because the mulch layer prevents any spores that might be present from wafting upward to reinfect berries next year. Blueberry bushes have shallow root systems, most roots descending less than a foot deep, with no root hairs. Thirty years with two to three inches of organic mulch laid atop the ground have created a soft, moist, heavenly environment for blueberry roots.

That’ll go beneath various trees. It’s amazing how simply spreading organic materials on top of the ground can bring so many benefits. Physically, that fluffy layer cushions the impact of raindrops, so that moisture can percolate slowly into the ground rather than pound the surface, sealing it and running off to make gullies. Mulch also insulates the ground, modulating swings in temperature to keep roots and other soil denizens happier. Next summer, the mulch will slow evaporation of water from the soil. Biologically, mulch is food for fungi, bacteria and other soil organisms, the lion’s share of which are beneficial. As the leaves and wood chips go through cycles of being digested and excreted, what’s eventually left is humus: a witch’s brew of beneficial organic compounds, which in turn is tied to nutritional benefits to plants. During decomposition, nutrients gathered up into leaves and wood are released into the soil for plant use. Organic acids released during decomposi-

I can just picture some readers “raising their hands” to point out that adding fresh low-nitrogen organic materials to the soil results in nitrogen starvation of the plants. This sciencey, oft-repeated (and -printed) myth needs debunking. Soil bacteria and fungi need to eat both nitrogen and carbon. Wood chips and leaves are high in carbon but low in nitrogen, so these microorganisms grab at any other nitrogen in the ground to eat, along with their fresh chips or leaves. Bacteria and fungi are better at garnering soil nitrogen than are plants, so plants are starved for nitrogen – only temporarily, though, until some of the digested carbon is given off as carbon dioxide, and what’s left are the higher-nitrogen dead remains and excreta of bacteria and fungi. When fresh chips or leaves are used as mulch, decomposition proceeds very slowly at the interface of soil and mulch – so slowly that nitrogen is rereleased into the ground at about the rate that it’s being tied up.

NIGHT SKY

Home sweet homeworld

Our definitions of what makes a planet habitable may need to change

stronomers keep searching for extraterrestrial life. One recent estimate indicates that our galaxy contains eight billion earthlike planets located in their stars’ “habitable zones.” ETs certainly seem likely. But what do we really know? Science possesses only one information point when it comes to ET life: Earth alone. What kind of graph can we draw, given a single data point? We desperately need another. This is why, if we should find life under the Martian surface or swimming through the oceans of Jupiter’s moon Europa, it will change everything. If life exists on a second world in the same solar system, then the sky’s the limit. On the other hand, if Europa’s warm saltwater oceans, built-in energy source and periodic influx of comets containing amino acids have failed to produce any life after billions of years of such friendly conditions, this too would be revelatory. Europa may thus be the key to the entire puzzle. Europa brings up other issues, too. Astronomers always seek planets lying within their stars’ habitable zones. This means the right distance for liquid water to exist. In our own solar system, this region encompasses Earth and Mars alone. Yet despite this, Jupiter, which lies far outside that friendly district, remains life’s likeliest locale. This suggests that the whole “habitable zone” business may be a fiction borne of human unimaginativeness. We may have handcuffed ourselves to additional fictions. Life frolics on Earth’s surface, so that’s where we’ll seek extrasolar ETs. But why shouldn’t other worlds have their life teeming everywhere except the surface, where sterilizing radiation or a brutal vacuum is likeliest? Like that habitablezone restriction, this may be another Earthcentric prejudice. Moreover, any alien bodies that lack electrons – perhaps composed of dark-matter structures – would be utterly invisible. A deeper and more controversial issue is the nature of life itself. This goes way beyond our sensible carbon- and water-based biases. We usually assume that the cosmos is a mixture of the living and the non-living. But many primitive cultures – such as Native Americans, not to mention early Greeks like Aristotle – regarded the cosmos as eternal, animated and alive. Could everything be a form of life? The Gaia hypothesis of Earth as a single intelligent entity has many adherents. Why stop there? Now, just because an early civilization lived closer to the Earth, it didn’t give them a

the soil will definitely cause a temporary tie-up of nitrogen; mulching with these materials will not. So here at the Springtown Farmden Health Spa, I am mulchercising away. I start at the “abs and bicep machine,” rolling what looks like a garden cart over to the mulch pile and then using what looks like a pitchfork to load leaves or chips onto the cart. Then it’s on to the “quads and aerobic ma-

chine,” whence I pull what looks like a cart full of leaves or chips over to some plants in need of mulch. Next, it’s the “rotary torso machine,” which looks like I’m scooping leaves or chips from the cart, twisting around and then dumping it beneath a plant. Finally, back to the “abs and bicep machine” for another rep. I should be able to get a dozen or so reps in before the mulch freezes solid for the winter. – Lee Reich

monopoly on wisdom. In simple cultures, superstition often trumped perspicacity. The ancient, widespread “all is one” viewpoint had undeniable aesthetic appeal; but until modern versions like Biocentrism came along, the notion that nature and the observer are intertwined lacked scientific support. This has changed in recent years. Granted, it sounds wacky that existence may be entwined with observation. When famed physicist John Wheeler said, “No phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon,” he was giving voice to decades of increasing quantummechanical unease that started with the bewildering double-slit experiment, which questions whether the observer and the external world are truly independent. George Berkeley, for whom the city and campus were named, liked to say that the only things that we can perceive are our perceptions. We merely assume that a separate objective cosmos abides independent of our perceptions. This issue fascinated Einstein and his friends, too. In the current Canadian Observer’s Handbook, Dr. Roy Bishop says things like, “Rainbows exist entirely within our skulls.” And physiology textbooks state that all those objects that you assume are visually “out there” in front of you, separate from your body, are actually located inside your brain. Yes, that’s the inside of your brain out there. And yes, you cannot visualize your skull dwelling within the universe while the cosmos simultaneously exists within your skull. It’s a paradox that implies solipsism, a single living cosmos. But if true, then nothing is non-living. Whether you “get” all this, are stupefied by it or perhaps dismiss it as a branch of metaphysics or philosophy, rest assured that some no-nonsense physicists like Roy Bishop and medical doctors like Robert Lanza take it seriously enough to consider the cosmos as an aspect of life. Just because this view jibes with half of the world’s religions, Western mystics like Blake and many thinkers through the centuries doesn’t give it a free pass. They could all be wrong. We should, however, remain aware that there’s more to this extraterrestriallife business than such endlessly repeated issues as “How many Earth-sized worlds are out there?” That’s just the topmost layer. Look deeper, and the subject gets wonderfully juicy. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

You just drive along the property’s horseshoe driveway with your radio tuned to 95.3 and enjoy the massive coordinated light and music show, which consists of 392,991 lights with 1,454 strobes, 1,000 channels and 186 songs! This weekend, your visit can also make a positive difference to others. On Friday and Saturday, December 13 and 14 from 5 to 10:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 15 from 5 to 9:50 p.m., all donations will benefit the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie. The ERDAJT website contains great information about what’s involved the behind the scenes, as well as a song list and music schedule. The ERDAJT Christmas Light Display is located at 8 Patrick Drive in Lagrangeville. For more information, visit www. erdajt.com or at www.facebook.com.

I pledge to read the printed word It’s a movement that’s catching on. It’s not hard to see why. Studies show readers retain more when they read on paper compared to a screen. And in a world bent on speeding us up, it’s nice to sit back and relax with the paper. That’s why ulster publishing—while exploring the web—remains committed to our newspapers, which are printed sustainably on recycled paper when possible. r e a d t h e p r i n t e d w o r d. o r g

Make a “gingerbread” playhouse Here’s a fun twist to the edible gingerbread house tradition: How about a gingerbread-style playhouse? I learned about the idea from Kerry Pilott of Pine Bush: “I decided it would

be a good way to keep the boys, Liam, 4 years, and Cullen, 3 years, occupied while my Mom and I were doing our Christmas baking.” Here’s how she did it: “You can make it with just one large box, but I had two large ones and just decided to make it bigger. I cut them open, turned them inside out and used packing tape to tape them together. Then I cut out a door and windows and folded another big piece of cardboard in half and taped it onto the top for a roof.” How about the details? “I used striped pipecleaners and bent them like candy canes and used hot glue to attach them and used pompoms for gumdrops. I picked up different foam shapes at Michael’s for decorations and let the boys decorate it any way they wanted to, inside and out. They had so much fun and played in it all day. They even wanted to sleep in it tonight!” Thanks for the great tip, Kerry!

150+ nativity scenes on view at Mariapolis Luminosa in Hyde Park When I heard that there was a local display of more than 150 nativity scenes, I had to see it for myself. My kids and I checked it out this week, and it’s pretty awesome. Mariapolis Luminosa presents this annual exhibit as an expression of Focolare Movement founder Chiara Lubich’s passion for Christmas. The exhibit is open daily through December 24, and admission is free, although donations are welcome. Each of us found our favorites: My daughter loved the shiny piece from Poland that was made out of recycled chocolate foil wrappers; my son got a kick out of the crèche from Latin America that was so tiny that it was accompanied by a magnifying glass for viewing; and I was taken by the display from Peru placing the nativity scene in a reed raft instead of a manger, as well as the abstract display created from Long Island beach elements including a sea star and shells. The kids also enjoyed repeatedly counting the exhibits, consistently resulting in a different number every time, but always well over 100. The nativity scenes are set up along both sides of a long hallway, continuing into a larger room at the end, which makes for easy viewing at your own pace while Christmas music plays over the loudspeakers. Light packaged refreshments are offered for sale at the counter, and small baby Jesus dolls are available for a $5 donation to the Philippines, but there

Featured Charity: Brenna Engle Foundation Having trouble making ends meet and need some clothing for your family? Go to Brenna’s Basement. Starting over on your own or in a new place? Head over to Brenna’s Basement. Interested in sponsoring an orphaned, abandoned or underprivileged child abroad? Think Brenna’s Home. So much incredible work radiates from the legacy of Brenna Engle, a young local girl whose life ended suddenly at age 3, but whose spirit over the years continues to inspire countless acts of kindness and compassion. The Brenna Engle Foundation is a local non-profit organization created by Brenna’s parents, Richard and Donna Engle, and its influence ranges from Brenna’s Basement in Poughkeepsie all the way to Brenna’s Home in the Ukraine; and now a new presence is being explored in Ethiopia. Brenna’s Basement has been operating

for the past several years, in conjunction with other local agencies such as Love INC, the Care Net Pregnancy Center, Birthright, the Grace Smith House, Hudson River Housing, Dutchess County Healthy Families and others. Since September 2013 alone, Brenna’s Basement has helped to provide over 150 people with clothing for men, women and children, as well as helped to equip families and individuals starting over with linens and kitchenware for independent living. In talking with Richard Engle, his passion for helping is limitless. He and his wife make regular visits to Brenna’s Home in the Ukraine, where three staff members care for 12 children and provide a loving, supportive environment. Sponsorships of the children cost $25 per month, which works out to 79 cents per day, and help to cover the costs of food, clothing, shelter and school expenses. Sponsors are assigned a child and encouraged to connect directly with that child through letters, photos, birthday cards and a small Christmas gift. Sponsors receive correspondence from the child, as well as a monthly e-mail update about Brenna’s Home from the Foundation. Sponsors can be individuals, families or even clubs or organizations, and an array of payment plans is available. I asked Engle what some of the most pressing needs are at the moment. He invites interested readers to consider a sponsorship of a child in the Ukraine or to make a general donation to the Foundation. For Brenna’s Basement, Engle said that there’s an ongoing need for disposable items such as diapers and toiletries, as well as good recent car seats and other baby gear and startup household items like linens, towels and blankets. All items should be in excellent condition as a respectful gesture to the recipients. Due to limited space, please call before donating. I invite you to visit the organization’s website to learn more about what a powerful, meaningful gift a donation or sponsorship can be for the giver, as well as the recipients on the other side of the world. Financial gifts to the Brenna Engle Foundation may be mailed to 3 Albert Road, Poughkeepsie, NY 12603. For more information, to make arrangements for a donation or to make an appointment to utilize the services offered, call (845) 473-7849 or visit www.brennaenglefoundation.org.

Locally sourced gifts

want to share some ideas for locally sourced gifts made by talented local parents. I asked what they wished that people knew about the impact of buying locally from area artists; something that they have learned, appreciated or experienced this holiday season; a favorite holiday tradition in their family; and a favorite holiday spot that they enjoy in the Hudson Valley. The Treehouse Kathy Preston, 5 North Front Street in New Paltz, (845) 802-1197, www.treehousehandcraft.blogspot.com, www.facebook.com/treehousenewpaltz I love the Treehouse registry. I can write down everything that I wish my family would buy for me, and all of the information is right there. There are some gorgeous items in the $20-andunder section that are a must-see. You should go any time to the Treehouse, but two special events might entice you as well: a Meet-the-Artists reception on Thursday, December 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. and henna body art on Thursday, December 19 from 6 to 9 p.m. Something you wish that people knew about the impact of buying locally, from local artists “Buying locally means the world to us. You’re buying a physical manifestation of our dreams, talents and struggles, whether it’s a $1 ornament or a $100 etching. Buying art not only gets you something unique, it lets artists know that what we do has value and is cherished. I’m so grateful for my local customers. The small act of choosing the Treehouse allows me to keep doing what I love: making art and promoting other artists.” A favorite holiday tradition in your family “My husband, a musician and composer, stays overnight in New York City on Christmas Eve for his job as a choir singer, so my daughter Nora and I have a sleepover in her room. We read tons of Christmas picture books and stay up late. It’s something simple that makes her so happy, and I know I’ll miss it when she outgrows it.”
