CHATTER Crave On
In which readers rave about cravings
Darrow MontgoMery
Washington City PaPer’s annual Food Issue this year centered on cravings: 50 of them, to be exact, from a taste of Maine to Parisian sweets. What were we craving? Compliments, of course. Annie Johnson tweeted, “.@wcp sorts DC dining scene by what you’re craving. Brilliant,” while @2partsflour said, “Putting this here to remind myself that such a magical list exists.” (Thank you, and thank you.) City Paper’s former Assistant Managing Editor Jenny Rogers dished out the highest praise: “the @wcp Food Issue is perfect every year. This year no exception.” If you’re like @diningstrangers, who tweeted “This list makes me realize how many restaurants in DC I’ve never visited,” bookmark the issue by visiting washingtoncitypaper.com/food. A mAyor shAke? Last week’s Loose Lips column (“Wilted Greens,” June 30) centered on the fallout from the Green Team’s painful primary losses and what they mean for Mayor Muriel Bowser. While those quoted in the story didn’t see any problems for Bowser, the comments were a different story. James Watson wrote, “How about some people just simply see it as: She [the mayor] doesn’t know what she’s doing ! You don’t need a political science degree nor an MBA. She has simply not convinced the residents of DC that she is politically competent. She needs Bill Lightfoot waaaay more than he needs her and if there were anything that could save her, I’m sure Bill would be doing it. But she’s in Stage 3 of a mayoral coma and all anyone can do is administer some medication here and there to mitigate the pain until the end comes.” MarvinEAdams had similar feeling: “If the three ‘Green Teamers’ (Alexander, May and Orange) would have won the narrative would have been: They all won as a result of the support of the mayor and her machine! S-E-R-I-O-US-L-Y! Yes, the demographics may be changing, but how can you account for the fact that CM Todd could not even garner 50% support from the mayor’s home ward? I long for the day when the residents/voters of the District awakens and realize that having one-party hegemony does not serve the best interest of the entirety of the city Until then, to paraphrase Shuff, it’s the same old, same old.” —Sarah Anne Hughes Want to see your name in bold on this page?

FACTS ABOUT POOH
BREED: GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG/BOXER MIX COLOR: WHITE - WITH TAN, YELLOW OR FAWN AGE: ADULT, 2-3 YEARS ∙ SIZE: MED. ~50LBS ∙ SEX: FEMALE Pooh’s Story... Pooh is an adorable German Shepherd and Boxer mix who came into the shelter as a stray. Pooh arrived in D.C. on May 18th and is settling into her foster home. Here is what Pooh has to say for herself: “Hi, I’m Pooh! Like my namesake, I will make a great forever friend. I loooove pets and cuddles-give me a good scratch and I’ll happily present my belly for more! I love people and making new friends. I also play very well with other dogs. I like walks and activity, but am very happy to chill on the couch in between play sessions. I am pretty well behaved when we’re out and about, though my leash manners may need a little polishing up. I can’t resist a good squirrel! I am house broken, though like many rescues, I may have accidents when settling in to a new environment. I’m just waiting for someone to call my best friend and go adventuring with! I have tons of love to give”. I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.

After 41 years, the Lamont Street Collective is being evicted from its Mount Pleasant home. On mOving day at the Lamont Street Collective, a longtime group house of activists and artists in Mount Pleasant, the resident pup, Moo, nervously pees inside. The mummy that long stood guard on the house’s front porch has been packed away, along with other vestiges of its 41 years of history: stacks of old feminist zines, a poster that reads “Global Revolution??? Yes We Can!”, a dolphin skeleton, and a Socialist Party flag from the time the house served as the D.C. chapter’s headquarters. Left behind are the words “resist gentrification,” spray painted on a wooden board in the backyard. “Moving has hurt so much,” says Kri Van Sloun, one of the collective’s eight members and an artist who works at a local nonprofit. “We are losing… the walls, the physical space, the connection with the community.” The collective has also lost thousands of dollars they expected to receive from the house’s landlord, Paul Repak, who purchased the property in 2015 for $531,000 and who has since pushed his tenants to leave. (Similar-sized houses on Lamont Street are currently selling for $1 million and more.) For a one-time payment of $30,000, the collective said it would move out in July, but last week Repak started the eviction process after a $2,800 rent check didn’t arrive by June 5. A judge negated the $30,000 settlement between Repak and the collective. Repak argued for eviction with the help of lawyer Rachael Abramson, who is also a real estate broker in D.C. She also appears to be Repak’s wife, according to both their social media accounts. When reached by phone, both Repak and Abramson hung up when asked about the property and about their relationship to one another. The Lamont Street Collective’s lawyer, Jay Kim, says she initially considered using this information in court to block the eviction, since Repak had argued he immediately need-

DistrictLine ed the home on Lamont Street to move into with his wife and two children. Yet Abramson owns at least three properties in D.C.—one of which is a two-bedroom home—collectively worth $1.3 million, according to the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue. “While it seems like what they’re doing should be wrong, it’s not illegal,” says Kim. Now, the eviction is moving forward, and it could happen any day now. But the Lamont Street Collective’s members say they are not leaving without a fight. In a house of their size in D.C., evictions usually happen with the assistance of a U.S. marshal and at least 25 hired workers, including movers. Justin Jacoby Smith, a member of the collective and an activist who previously did eviction protection work with the movement Occupy Our Homes, says the collective and its supporters plan to barricade the house’s back door and zip tie themselves to grates out front when the U.S. Marshal and movers arrive. (Although the collective has moved its belongings from the house, several members are planning to sleep there until eviction day.) The collective is holding the protest, which Smith says will be peaceful, to show that “this issue is affecting huge parts of the city and many others more than us.”
“All over the city people are being displaced, communities being splintered,” Smith says, “because people are interested in shortterm profits and in making a D.C. that works for developers instead of the people that live in it.” Van Sloun also hopes people will also see that spaces like the Lamont Street Collective are being lost and that such spaces “are needed to maintain culture and activism” in the city, she says. Culture and activism are indeed what the Lamont Street Collective has brought to Mount Pleasant for decades, since its founding in 1975 by John Acher, a well-known D.C. Socialist. Following a consensus-based model for cooperative living, the house has since attracted a wide array of artists and activists. In early years, the collective served as a gathering place for Socialists and a crash pad for protesters. More recently, it’s been a home for musicians, artists, and a host of lefty activists: Occupy protesters, climate change activists, Black Lives Matter campaigners, Dump Trump members, and labor organizers. The house has also hosted other community events, including queer open mics, sci-fi movie nights, Sunday meditation ses-
sions, and its annual Salon de Libertad, during which it covers the house in art by local artists and invites the neighborhood in. The collective was the subject of a 2013 City Paper cover story. Most recently, the collective held a benefit concert for the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando and raised $2,700. Two of the collective’s residents, who have a band, played a tribute song that night to which the crowd—a mix of neighbors, friends, and supporters—sang along: “We carry you in our hearts today / We stand together unafraid.” Smith says his favorite part of the evening was the presence of a group of local “queer teen punks” who sang along to the music. “A lot of these kids don’t have the space to be who they are at home when they’re that young,” says Smith. “So they come here. If we’re able to create that space for a handful of people, that’s really special.” Socially conscious group houses like these were once common in Mount Pleasant. But Jack McKay, a longtime advisory neighborhood commissioner for the Northwest neighborhood, says rising housing costs have pushed these groups out. “No longer is Mount Pleasant a gathering place for people of unusual lifestyles and modest incomes,”
he writes in an email. “Gentrification arrived, and now row houses sell for $1 [million] and up… The people who buy million-dollar row houses have different standards, different expectations.” McKay says the Lamont Street Collective were “good neighbors” about whom he never heard a complaint in his 14 years on the ANC. “I’m sorry to see them go,” he says. “It’s just one more indication of how this diverse, unusual neighborhood is becoming increasingly conventional and ordinary.” While the collective is leaving Mount Pleasant, its members are moving into a new home (at double the rent) not far away, at Georgia Avenue and Park Road NW. (They’ll host a farewell gathering at the Lamont Street space on Saturday.) The collective will continue in Park View most likely under a new name, perhaps “The Long Shot Collective.” Members say their annual salon will take place in the new space in July, and Smith plans to hang Archer’s flag prominently out front. “We are making a stand and then going to do our work somewhere else,” Smith says as he sits on the house’s empty front porch, the packed moving van idling out front. “There is a sense of new beginning now.” CP

Children of the Kornheiser By Matt Terl Tony Kornheiser lefT the D.C. airwaves this week. Again. Sometimes it seems like Kornheiser’s entire local radio career has been a never-ending oscillation between hosting his idiosyncratic, notreally-a-sports-talk show, and announcing that the show had been cancelled for some reason (had to work on a national show, had to work on Monday Night Football, still wanted to focus on writing, weather was bad, was suspended for disparaging remarks about a coworker, etc.). So it’s probably foolish to get too misty over the show’s departure from ESPN 980, especially when it’s continuing on as a podcast, and also when—full disclosure—I’ve haven’t listened to it with any regularity in years. Kornheiser walked away with two years left on his contract as he and his crew figured out that the audience for a show that likes sports, but isn’t really about sports, was already online and owning the show means they keep the sponsorship money. But I’ve reached the age where nostalgia, no matter how cheap, drives a bigger emotional bandwagon than almost any other emotion. I mean, I not only paid money to see Guns N’ Roses the other night, but I was nearly giddy when the band played “Patience” as part of the encore. (Editor’s note: Seriously? Oy.) If the football games at FedExField recreated the feeling of 1992 as well as that concert did, this entire town would be a whole lot happier. Point is: I’m a nostalgia victim. Coincidentally, the one time I spoke to Kornheiser in person was at FedExField. He was in the middle of his ill-fated stint as part of the Monday Night Football broadcasting team, and I was just beginning my own ill-fated stint as part of the local sports media establishment. I decided to try to do a quick Q&A with Kornheiser as he walked from some pregame on-field broadcasting responsibility to go get set up for his in-game job. I was nervous about this plan, for three main reasons. First, that I wanted to ask him about the openly hostile response to his work on MNF. This would’ve felt like a dicey plan under any circumstances. The second reason was that I had really enjoyed his earlier work. Kornheiser’s nowlegendary “bandwagon” columns covering the local team’s last Super Bowl run (which I probably read while listening to Use Your Il-
lusion II for the first time) felt fresh and funny to me—their unserious tone and (half-joking) open support of the team presaged the career of Bill Simmons and probably 90 percent of modern internet sports yap. His local radio show, which crankily eschewed current players as guests, was the first time I realized how much more interested I was in hearing from sports media types than hearing from athletes. Kornheiser’s time as a national radio host overlapped with my time living away from this market, so he was a connection to home while I was in Colorado. That era’s livemics-during-commercials “internet show” pushed some of the same buttons that Deadspin would later. The third reason I was worried is that Kornheiser had a reputation for being prickly at best. He had shredded local radio icon Ken Beatrice in print years earlier, and had gotten future City Paper icon Dave McKenna fired from a freelance gig at the Washington Post for writing (in these pages) about that shredding. All of which, of course, was part of why I wanted to ask him how it felt to be on the receiving end of constant scorn. The Q&A lasted about four questions—the length of time it takes to walk across a football field. Kornheiser was mild and pleasant and blunt about how he was dealing with criticism. (“I cash the checks.”) I didn’t want to push my luck, and I thanked him for his time as we got to the tunnel. What stands out to me in hindsight about the experience was his reaction then—a sense of mild surprise that that was it. He wasn’t upset to stop talking, nor happy that the conversation was over. He was still very much an old-media guy, and he mainly just seemed surprised that a quick 350-ish words would be enough for a pregame blog post. Which is similar to how I find myself feeling about his show now, as Kornheiser has become very much a new-media guy and the show makes the transition from its longtime home on the Dan Snyder–owned ESPN 980 to some podcast-based venture (I’m guessing Kornheiser was intrigued by the success of Simmons and his podcast network). I’m not gleeful that he’s gone, as some have been, nor am I particularly inclined to miss him. It just seems odd, is all, that that part of his conversation is already wrapping up. Again. CP

Is it a super douchey move to pretend to be a lesbian to avoid unwanted male attention? I’m a straight single woman in my mid-thirties and a very plausible lesbian in terms of sartorial stereotypes. Occasionally a guy will hit on me in an awkward or creepy way and I’ll trot out a line about “not being into men.” Most recently I used this pose when a courier broke down in my driveway and I invited him in for a glass of water while he waited for the tow truck. It was really uncomfortable and a little threatening when—after establishing that I lived alone—he asked me out. I guess I use this as an excuse so as not to hurt their feelings, but also to shut the conversation down as quickly as possible if I’m feeling vulnerable. Is this a harmless white lie, or a major cop-out that would offend actual lesbians? Can you suggest some better strategies for when you’re feeling cornered by a dude you’re not interested in? —Lady’s Entirely Zany Identity Enquiry “I’m not offended by this,” said someone I thought was an actual lesbian. I shared your question with this person—a woman I thought was an actual lesbian—because I wasn’t offended by it either, but wanted to check with an actual lesbian just to be safe. Turns out my friend doesn’t identify as a lesbian, but as a woman-who-loves-women-but-does-not-identify-as-a-lesbian-because-she-sometimes-finds-the-odd-dudehot. So for the record: my friend is speaking for the WWLWBDNIAALBSSFTODH community here—which often intersects/sexts with the lesbian community—and not the lesbian community. “But even though I’m not offended by it, I have to say I’ve found the ‘I’m into women’ line to be totally ineffective,” said my nota-lesbian friend. “The creeps I’ve used it on get even more riled up after hearing that line. Sometimes I check out and start ignoring these creeps as if they’re wallpaper, but that can rile them up too. Same with a polite ‘I’m not interested.’ The only success I’ve had with warding off creeps is by actually yelling at them, asking them if they’d like to be treated the way they’re treating me, and if their mothers, sisters, et cetera, would appreciate that treatment.” My not-a-lesbian friend—who, as it turns out, identifies more strongly with the term “bisexual” than she does WWLWBDNIAALBSSFTODH—has also had some luck with the lose-your-shit strategy (e.g., screaming, yelling, and waving your arms around like a crazy person). “You kind of have to treat these people like bears at a campsite,” said my not-a-lesbian friend. “You have to make yourself big and loud and scary so they don’t get closer. Because they will get closer.” —Dan Savage I have a difficult question. A dear young friend
10 july 1, 2016 washingtoncitypaper.com
has recently started being a stripper for work. I won’t lie: it tears me up. All I feel is sadness and worry—such a nice soul for what I feel is a not-sonice environment. I really hope I’m wrong. Is there any way in which this can be okay? My thoughts are that no matter how strong a woman is, no one can forget what they see or have to deal with. I worry for the sake of a nice person getting her ass handed to her too often and potentially breaking beyond repair. My gut emotion is that it doesn’t matter how well you handle these situations—what matters is the fact that you see too much ugliness, too often, and get to a point where you forget that there are actually nice humans out there. I guess my question is: How well can anyone handle this? —My Endangered Lady
I suspect she’s handling it better than you are, MEL. And I would recommend minding your own business, backing the fuck off, and Googling “white knight syndrome.” But if your conscience requires you to say something, say something that opens up a conversation, rather than something so loaded with shame, fear, and judgment that it shuts the conversation down. Instead of saying something like “Oh my God! What were you thinking?! You’ll be shredded emotionally and sexually! You could break beyond repair!”, try something like, “Stripping isn’t something I would feel comfortable doing myself. But I’m your friend, and if you need to talk with someone about your new job—if you need to decompress or vent— I’m here for you.” —Dan
I would recommend minding your own business, backing the fuck off, and Googling “white knight syndrome.” I’ve been lying to myself. I told myself that stability and friendship were more important to me than sex. I’ve been with my husband for twelve years, and we’ve been married for five of those. We were best friends, and I was already in love before we started dating and before we ever had sex. I should have known in the beginning that we weren’t sexually compatible, but I chose to ignore it (or I chose stability and friendship). I chose my best friend, and have been suffering ever since.
Luckily, I listen to your advice on a regular basis, and I’ve started having more open conversations about my feelings and my wants and needs. About a year ago, my husband and I decided to open our relationship. This was all my idea, and I’m not sure he’s fully into it. We agreed to a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, and a month ago we finally acted on it. I met someone in an open relationship and had sex with them. It was amazing—everything about it. In the end, I didn’t feel guilty, but I did want to tell my husband. I still feel the need to get his approval, but I also know that he doesn’t want to hear it. If he gave me the go-ahead, even though everything was my idea, should I feel guilty, or just happy for finally getting what I needed from someone? Are there baby steps I can take to tell my husband these things, or do I just keep them to myself? I feel like this is saving our marriage, but society probably just looks at me like a cheating whore. —Feelings Are Insanely, Terribly Hard For Unsure Lovers You have your husband’s approval to do what you did, but his approval was contingent upon you not telling him what you did. Honor the commitment you made to your husband, FAITHFUL, by keeping your mouth shut. You’ll doubtless have conversations in the future about your relationship, and about monogamy, and you can ask him if he wants to stick with “don’t ask, don’t tell.” If he says yes, continue to keep your mouth shut. —Dan I’m a (mostly) straight guy in his mid-twenties. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved wearing women’s lingerie. It turns me on, but it also makes me feel comfortable. I’ve never worn women’s clothing in public, but I’ve recently been wearing it more and more around my house. It just feels right! Side note: I’ve also recently been obsessed with being pegged by my female partner, and I love the reversal of roles. Would I be considered genderqueer, genderfluid, or what? And would I be considered part of the LGBT community? —Frequently Excited Miss Genderqueer and genderfluid aren’t kinks, FEM, they’re identities. And I don’t know what you mean by that parenthetical “mostly” you dropped in there before “straight.” If it means you’re attracted to dudes—regardless of whether you’ve ever acted on that attraction—you would indeed be considered part of the LGBT community, under the “B” designation. But if all you meant was, “My cock gets hard when I wear panties and think about getting my ass pegged by my girlfriend,” then you’re just another kinky straight guy. —Dan Send your Savage Love questions to mail@savagelove.net.

alking the city with photographer Darrow Montgomery can be a distracting experience. On a recent winter evening, we were heading down L Street NW towards Connecticut Avenue when I realized that Darrow, who had been sharing his favorite noodle places, was now 20 feet behind me, pulling out his phone to capture the back of the former Washington Post building. It looked more like Beirut than D.C. The picture of the destruction of an iconic place appeared on City Paper’s site the next week, another slice of the District captured by one of its most faithful observers. In these pages, Darrow turns his eye to a single block of H Street NW, between 6th and 7th, in Chinatown. The images provide a window onto a population that is walking, running, working, staring, shuffling, primping, and smoking—always smoking—its way through the city. It’s a fascinating collection of characters and proof positive that life is always more interesting if you’ll just stop and look around. —Steve Cavendish

Win-Win Situation
Scott Drewno has been named Chef of the Year twice, but he doesn’t put accolades in front of loyalty. By Jessica Sidman Scott Drewno’S FriDay ritual begins with a shopping cart at Great Wall Supermarket in Falls Church. “I’m actually on the hunt for water lettuce today,” the executive chef of The Source says as he navigates the produce aisle of the Chinese grocery in a crisp blue button-up, custommade to fit his towering six-foot-five frame, aviators perched atop his buzz-cut head. Most of the ingredients he seeks during weekly visits to Great Wall are used for “beta” dishes he’s testing out before he approaches his distributor for larger orders. In the case of water lettuce—a stalky vegetable also known as celtuce—Drewno wants to put it on the menu, but his distributor doesn’t even know what it is. “It’s a similar texture to celery, a little bit milder flavor,” he explains. Drewno grabs a few bunches of garlic chives for some dumplings he wants to try out, a box of baby mangoes for a new dessert, and dragonfruit for the tasting menu at his two-seat chef ’s counter. As we meander down the aisles, he points out the frozen dumplings he always stocks at home (generically dubbed “Chinese Brand”), his favorite ramen packet (Shin Ramyun), and his candy addiction (HiChews). “There’s a special place in my stomach that I think is accumulating all of the gummies,” he says. But beyond that, Drewno walks these aisles for inspiration. A red tin of cookies known as “Chinese love letters” are the starting point for a new dessert at The Source. And sometimes, Drewno grabs something foreign—“chili crisp” oil, pickled enoki mushrooms—and brings it back to his kitchen staff to deconstruct and recreate from scratch. After his shopping expedition, which often also includes a stop at Korean grocery H Mart, Drewno’s venture to the suburbs typically involves banh mi, Uncle Liu’s Hot Pot, or in today’s case, the buffet at nearby Bangkok Golden. “I just roll around out here, hang out,” Drewno says, wheeling his cart at Great Wall.

“It’s me time.” In broader sense, too, this is Drewno’s time. He’s hot off a highly praised revamp of the Wolfgang Puck restaurant where he’s been chef for nine years. More recently, he took home his second win as “Chef of the Year” in the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington’s annual RAMMY Awards. In the past 25 years, only one other chef (Fabio Trabocchi) has been bestowed the title twice. But beyond the accolades, Drewno is one of the rare chefs to escape the shadow of the celebrity chef whose name is on the restaurant. And over the years, he’s built a reputation as a competitive yet all-around good guy who’s ele-
vating Chinese cuisine in D.C. In Penn Yan, the village of around 4,000 people in upstate New York where Drewno grew up, there was just one Chinese restaurant: China King, a takeout spot with orange chicken and egg rolls. The area was better known for the farmland and wine country that surrounded it, and Drewno’s first job was tying grapes for a vineyard at age 14. “For me growing up, seasonality was imprinted on me,” Drewno says. Some of his strongest childhood food memories are the excitement for corn season and his mom canning tomatoes. Drewno knew he wanted to do something related to food, but at the time his mother, a
nurse and hospital administrator, and father, who worked in human resources for UPS, didn’t see cooking as a career. Drewno enrolled in The College at Brockport, State University of New York to study criminal justice. “I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I didn’t really want to do any of that,” he says. “At that time, 20 years ago, being a chef wasn’t really what it is today… I didn’t want to let down my parents, but at the same token, I wasn’t happy.” In 1996, after his sophomore year, Drewno decided to drop out and follow a friend to Las Vegas, where a restaurant boom was underway. He first worked for Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, but after his wife, Allison Drewno, washingtoncitypaper.com july 1, 2016 19

circled a hiring ad for Puck’s Chinois in the classifieds, he applied for a job there. “I saw this Steve Jobs interview... and he was saying that you’re not going to be great unless you surround yourself with great people,” Drewno says. Working at Chinois was eye-opening. It was the first time that Drewno was really exposed to Asian food—the woks, the ginger, the galangal, and countless other ingredients and techniques. He was drawn into the complexity of Chinese cooking—salty, sweet, sour, bitter— and immediately knew that’s where he wanted to devote his career. Drewno moved from a prep cook—often showing up hours before his shift to learn other stations—up to executive sous chef in five years at Chinois and then Spago, Puck’s seasonal American restaurant. He then spent a few years in New York before joining Puck again at The Source as opening chef in 2007. In this era in which chefs seem to play a constant game of musical chairs, Drewno says it’s a testament to the company that he’s stayed put at The Source for nearly a decade. Drewno calls Puck a “visionary” and “mentor.” “That’s part of the reason I’ve worked with him so long. He’s very engaged in the restaurants,” Drewno says. Plus, Drewno describes himself as fiercely loyal. He married his high school sweetheart, after all. Asked if he’d like to open his own restaurant, Drewno says “not necessarily.” He’s been taken care of under Puck and feels like his voice is valued in the company. “I’m happy and my wife’s happy, and as long as my wife’s happy, I’m happy,” he says. Allison Drewno says her husband never complains. While D.C.’s dining scene is full of chefs opening their own restaurants, “most restaurants fail, so maybe that’s not the best idea,” Drewno says. Not that Drewno’s job is getting stale. Last year, The Source underwent a major dining room renovation and menu revamp, including the introduction of a hot pot table and twoseat chef ’s counter. Drewno knows the media is drawn to what’s new. But he also laments that there are plenty of older restaurants turning out great food and new dishes, “and they don’t always get the credit I think they deserve.” After all, revamp aside, Drewno is constantly tweaking dishes and printing out new menus daily. “It’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t go in the press. We just do it because we feel it’s what we should do,” he says. “You constantly are looking at dishes and saying, ‘This dish is good, but how do I make it great?’” Ask anyone close to Drewno, a former wrestler and football player in high school, and they’ll list competitiveness among his top traits. “As much as I respect and admire
a lot of chefs in town, I still want to be better than them,” the chef admits. Even outside the kitchen. “It’s a competition when we’re playing beer pong. It’s a competition when we’re playing cornhole. It’s always a competition,” says fellow chef and restaurateur Mike Isabella, who’s been one of Drewno’s close friends for nearly a decade. “And he wins a lot. And there’s a lot of smack talking going on with that.” All the while, though, Drewno has maintained a reputation for being one of the nicest guys in the industry. “He’s actually a teddy bear,” Isabella says. “Wolfgang Puck calls him Big Baby Drewno.” The chef community in D.C. likes to brand itself as a close-knit clan without the type of infighting and bitter rivalries you might expect in a bigger city. Del Campo chef Victor Albisu, another friend, says Drewno is among the chefs who’ve helped foster that. “I kind of credit him for bringing a lot of chefs together,” Albisu says. “He was a catalyst for a lot of friendships around the city… His demeanor was always very welcoming.” Albisu says Drewno introduced him to Isabella. Now the three, along with a number of other top chefs in the District, regularly hang out and even go on vacation together every year. Both Albisu and Isabella say Drewno is the kind of guy no one says a bad word about. “Probably the only chef in the city that you’ve never heard that about,” Isabella says. That community lovefest was on full display when Drewno accepted his Chef of the Year award at the RAMMYS gala, the day after the Orlando attacks. “We’ve always been kind of the outcasts,” Drewno told the hundreds of industry folks in the convention center auditorium. “We’re the ones with all the tattoos. We drink too much. We smoke too much. We have green hair... But the one thing that’s beautiful about us is our acceptance. It doesn’t matter where you come from, who you are, what color your hair is... It doesn’t matter your sexual orientation, your religion. If you have passion, if you have heart, if you have desire, we welcome you on our team.” Several weeks later, Drewno downplays any praise. When I mention the positive response to his speech, the chef says he feels bad that he got caught up in the weekend’s events and forgot to thank his wife and team at The Source. And when it comes to the award itself, he says he feels “a little weird” about it. “It’s really about the team and so many moving parts in a restaurant and so much hard work that goes into it from each person,” Drewno says. “And to have one person’s name there, it’s not fair.” CP Eatery tips?

white meat gives the cutlet an even richer poultry taste, further distinguishing it from its counterparts. The dill mayo imparts just enough herbal flavor to contrast the salty chicken without oozing out of the bun. Cons: In this sandwich, a big leaf of butter lettuce from the outside of the head feels a little leathery and masks the sourness
of the small and mellow pickles, which deserve more attention. A few smaller leaves of butter lettuce and more acidity would improve an already good sandwich. Sloppiness level (1 to 5): 1. DGS wisely designed these sandwiches for carry-out, so aside from a few crumbs, you won’t encounter any mess. It’s the perfect sandwich for eating at your desk or taking on a picnic. Overall score (1 to 5): 4. It’s not the weirdest or most exciting sandwich around, but the special touches added to this simple offering make it something you’ll want to eat again and again. —Caroline Jones
Where in Town: Takoma Park-Silver Spring Co-Op, 201 Ethan Allen Ave., Takoma Park Price: $12.29/16 oz. four-pack Sun & Suds One of summertime’s great pleasures is the chance to relax, cold brew in hand, in the open air. And for that, there are few better places than the 200-seat beer garden at Silver Spring’s Denizens Brewing Company. Picnic tables, umbrellas, music, dogs, endless rounds of cornhole—what else could you want? Beer and more of it, you say? Head brewer Jeff Ramirez’s creations, including year-round offerings like Bohemian Pilsner and Southside Rye, pour on endless supply and are now also available in tallboy cans for your backyard needs. The latest to hit shelves is Macadocious Maibock, Denizens’ annual spring release coinciding with the opening of the beer garden. Hop It Like It’s Hot Macadocious is not your typical malty German-style maibock. It’s brewed with Green Bullet hops from New Zealand, which impart floral characteristics not unlike those of noble hops used in many European brews, but with more bite. Deep gold in color with a crown of foam, Macadocious has a clean, subtle aroma. It tastes sweet at first, with notes of dark rye bread and raisin. Next come rich nut flavors followed by pronounced grassy hops. Macadocious finishes dry with a refreshingly bitter aftertaste. At a middling 7.1 percent alcohol, this beer is appropriate for either slamming or sipping. I recommend the former, especially for outdoor drinking in D.C.’s sweltering summer. —Tammy Tuck washingtoncitypaper.com july 1, 2016 21

In Dog We Trust
In new films by Todd Solondz and Taika Waititi, four-legged sidekicks play the foil to quirky and flawed characters. Wiener-Dog Directed by Todd Solondz
Weiner-Dog
Hunt for the Wilderpeople Directed by Taika Waititi By Tricia Olszewski After Life During Wartime and Dark Horse—Palindromes is more of a failed-experiment outlier—it began to seem as if Todd Solondz had lost his way. The typically execrable characters whom the writer-director managed to make human and humorous were now just plain execrable; you couldn’t wring a drop of grin-inducing ink out of his darkest jokes. Solondz appeared determined to deepen his filmography’s cesspool and in the process, made the confusing decision to pluck from Hollywood’s casting pool as well, choosing several actors to play literally the same characters, whether in the same movie (2004’s Palindromes) or in a sequel (2009’s Life During Wartime, his follow-up to 1998’s Happiness). Wiener-Dog, however, shows Solondz returning to his more warmly black-hearted roots, even though it again includes a returning character: Dawn Wiener, the unfortunate protagonist of 1995’s Welcome to the Dollhouse. She’s now played by Greta Gerwig and has become a veterinarian, though she’s still a mess of awkward nerves. But we’ll get to her in a minute. The briskly paced film opens with the titular dog being surrendered to a shelter. She’s a sweet dachshund, quiet and looking slightly bewildered as she checks out her small kennel. She’s soon claimed by an impatient man (Tracy Letts) for his son, Remi (Keaton Nigel Cooke, who’s introduced laying in the grass in the unmistakable Boyhood one-sheet pose). Remi’s mother, Dina (Julie Delpy), is furious over the surprise and immediately takes Wiener-Dog to be spayed. After Remi’s endless questions about the procedure, she tells him that she once had a poodle who got depressed after the pooch was knocked up. The father? “Turns out, she was raped,” Dina says. “He was called… Mohammed. It went on raping. Raping.” The conversation is totally taboo. And totally hilarious. So is a slow-mo pan of Wiener-Dog’s epic diarrhea episode after Remi feeds her a granola bar as his parents are off at yoga. (“You need to do your body maintenance,” Remi says.) The sequence, by the way, is set to “Clair de Lune.” Wiener-Dog is not long for the yogis’ world, however. Dad takes her to Dawn’s clinic to be put down. But before you can shed a tear, Dawn grabs the dog and takes off like a bank robber. She renames her new dog Doody (Doody will also later assume the name Cancer) and earnestly tries to get a dirtbag former classmate (Kieran Culkin) to like her (they reminisce about a boy he used to beat up).

CPArts ter a short sequence of events scored to a tinkly ballad with the lyrics “Dooo dee dooo dee dooo…,” the dog ends up with a couple with Down syndrome (Bridget Brown and Connor Long), then a depressed filmmaker/professor (Danny DeVito), and finally a bitter grandmother (Ellen Burstyn). Well, sorta finally. Even though Wiener-Dog is only 90 minutes, Solondz includes an intermission that appears to have Quentin Tarantino as its target. The dog trots through multiple landscapes, including a no-man’s-land blizzard, while a decidedly old-tyme Western song bellows “Wiener-Dog! Wiener-Dog!” But it’s a storytelling cheat, too: We get no indication of how the dog got passed on to its next owner. DeVito’s chapter is the weakest one, with again no hint as to how Wiener-Dog left the character’s ownership. Then the penultimate segment brings on the assholes, including Burstyn’s Nana. Her granddaughter, Zoe (Zosia Mamet, insufferable in Girls), and the granddaughter’s boyfriend, Fantasy (Michael Shaw)—an “audio sculpturist” who’s so insufferable he should be on Girls—visit Nana, but their drop-in is strained if not downright hostile. Nana’s a jerk, her caregiver’s a jerk, and Zoe and Fantasy are art hipsters of the highest rank. Still, the tense silence in that living room leaves you squirming (and impatient with questions). There’s an odd cap to this plotline involving a spooky-looking young girl who brings out identical spooky-looking girls, each representing the life Nana could have had if, say, she had “liked other people” or “left bigger tips.” This distraction leads to the end of Wiener-Dog/Doody/
Cancer’s long journey, and although it’s not necessarily an unhappy one, Solondz fashions it to be bittersweet—and ridiculous. Thus you walk away from this tale feeling melancholy yet cheerful, which is the best mixed emotion a Solondz fan could want. tupAc, one of the dogs in writer-director Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople, does not have gentle, domestic adventures like Wiener-Dog’s for very long. Instead, he becomes battletested in the New Zealand bush soon after he’s gifted to 13-yearold Ricky, “a real bad egg” who comes to live with farmers Bella and Hec because nobody else wants him. And when the missus suddenly kicks the bucket, Ricky, Hec, and Tupac go on the run, lest Ricky go back to juvey. At the start of the film—whose first chapter is appropriately called “A Real Bad Egg”—that’s the option Ricky (Julian Dennison) would prefer, having walked away from the nailson-a-chalkboard Bella (Rima Te Wiata) to circle the couple’s farmhouse and then get back in the police car. But he’s forced to stay, at least until he tries to run away that night. (When Bella finds him the next morning and tells him about the verdant country bush, Ricky responds with, “You said ‘bush.’”) She nudges him back home, to the irritation of Hec (Sam Neill), who instantly disliked the little delinquent. But when Bella dies, Ricky is ordered to live with another family, so he takes off instead. When Hec hits the dirt, too, authorities assume he’s kidnapped the kid, and thus begins a man/boyhunt that grows to militaristic proportions. Waititi has made a steady (and welcome) progression from
strenuously quirky to laugh-out-loud deadpan in his films, which include 2007’s Eagle vs. Shark, 2010’s Boy, and 2014’s What We Do in the Shadows. (Though he’s known, of course, for Flight of the Conchords.) Wilderpeople fits in with that succession; though Neill and Te Wiata are not given much to do, it’s no drawback to the film because Dennison is the star. His Ricky is a rap-loving kiwi, but despite his past transgressions and how much he fronts, he proves to be a docile and witty teenager, practicing his taught coping technique (writing haikus) and referencing Debbie Downer (OK, that might realistically be before his time). Wilderpeople is based on a book, so unless you’ve read it, there’s no telling which jokes come from where. But you won’t care when you watch a relentless child protection services officer (Rachel House) go after the two, with one confrontation between her and Ricky involving semi-trash talk of who’s the Terminator and who’s Sarah Connor (“before she could do chin-ups”). The jokes are dry and come fast. Even the taciturn Hec starts saying things like “shit just got real.” Unsurprisingly, the “aww” factor figures into the final scenes, proving that these toughs are really a pair of softies. All does not end exactly well, but like Wiener-Dog, it’s not too harsh and not too syrupy—and way better than Eagle vs. CP Shark. Wiener-Dog opens Friday at Atlantic Plumbing Cinema. Hunt for the Wilderpeople opens Friday at Landmark E Street Cinema, Landmark Bethesda Row, and Angelika Film Center.

Greek SquadS “The Greeks: Agamemnon to Alexander the Great”
At National Geographic Museum to Oct. 10 The NaTioNal GeoGraphic Museum’s latest exhibition, “The Greeks: Agamemnon to Alexander the Great,” is an expansive look at nearly 5,000 years of Greek artifacts, but its title isn’t entirely accurate. Contained within the exhibition are artifacts from the Cycladic and the Minoan civilizations, nearby island cultures that preceded the ancient Greeks. But neither left us with the name of a ruler that could complete the snappy alliteration for the title. Still, the inclusion of several of those artifacts establishes some of the traditions of Ancient Greece—specifically, what they took to their graves. Pottery wasn’t uncommon. Assorted trays, jars, and pots were found with the bodies of Cycladic people. So were presumed fertility goddesses. Around 5,000 B.C., early Cycladic people were carving female figurines from stone. Unlike earlier bulbous statuettes, such as the Venus of Willendorf, the Cycladic statuettes are angular, with only suggestions of breasts and pelvis: Their noses are more prominent. The Minoans, who emerged around 2,000 B.C., possess many of the same funerary traditions of the Cycladic, but several things distinguish them. Their jars possessed pattern. They left behind delicate gold jewelry. And then, there was the presence of weapons, and a written but undeciphered language called Linear A. At a glance, what separates the Minoans from the rest of the Greeks seems to be the detail within their work, and the quantity of it that has been unearthed and put on display. And while we understand the importance of the bull in their culture (Minoan and Minotaur share the same root), we don’t glean from the exhibition any dominant historical figure. Enter Agamemnon of the Mycenaean world. The first artifact of Agamemnon is a shiny golden funerary mask, nearly flattened over time into a disc, with a face attempting to stretch from its middle. As indicated in the exhibition, Homer described Agamemnon as the first Mycenaean lord to unite the people under a common cause. It was to avenge the Trojan abduction of Helen, his brother’s wife. The mask, discovered in 1876 by businessman-turned-archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, was believed to be part of Agamemnon’s ancient city. A more detailed mask was believed to be the face of Agamemnon himself. Further research indicates the graves existed three centuries before Homer’s account, uprooting the notion that the masks belong to Agamemnon, if he even existed.
Fuzzy math aside, the artifacts found near the funerary masks are astounding for their opulence and quantity: swords, knives, pots, pins, roundels. There were terra cotta figurines of various sizes—from children’s trinkets to larger idols for worship—and rings with signets on them. There was even a cache of small golden octopi. While the display of the exhibition gives us little clue as to the specific identity of the people who once inhabited these graves, we get a clear sense of their wealth and some insight into their spiritual habits. The objects also indicate their increasing sophistication with materials and representation: While earlier Minoan crowns had all the sophistication of tin punched with an awl, these later Mycenaean artifacts are remarkably detailed. This is where the cynicism can kick in. After viewing nearly 200 artifacts, it’s easy to be filled by a sense of awe from the masterful craftsmanship that developed over the course of 3,500 years. Still, the exhibition has yet to reach the threshold of the Iron Age, let alone the midway point. There are still another 300 artifacts to go, and it’s only beyond the Mycenaean galleries of the exhibition that visitors will encounter the bust of Homer, the helmets of ancient Greek warriors, and the stylized black-and-red terra cotta pots that depict Homeric and mythological tales. Further into the exhibition, visitors are greeted by Archaic Greek figures of the Kouros and Kore, the Hellenistic contrapposto found in the idealized form of the Delos Herakles, and other prized works of antiquity, like the Gold Myrtle Crown of Queen Meda (wife of King Phillip) and its hundreds of intricately fashioned leaves, blossoms, and stamens. The exhibition is encyclopedic and exhaustive, and it demands the time to view it. Unlike some exhibitions that can be whimsically toured over a lunch break, this is an exhibition that requires you to pack a lunch. —John Anderson 1145 17th St. NW. $10-$15. nationalgeographic.com/thegreeks
Sculpture pardon “Turf and Terrain”
At Arts in Foggy Bottom to Oct. 22 “Turf aNd TerraiN,” Foggy Bottom’s 2016 outdoor sculpture biennial, makes the case for a program that shouldn’t work. An outdoor sculpture biennial means pieces that can weather the outdoors. A Foggy Bottom outdoor sculpture biennial means work that has to find its context in Foggy Bottom. That’s two strikes against it. Yet “Turf and Terrain” assembles several works that would shine in any show. For the
“Foggy Bottom Microobservatory” by Benjamin Andrew (2016) first time in this program’s eight-year history (this is the fifth iteration of the biennial), performance and interactivity are as central to the proceedings as big hulking works in metal. Danielle O’Steen, the curator of the exhibit, has pulled off something unlikely: an outdoor sculpture show that’s light materially and hefty conceptually. Consider “Fog” (2016), a performance (that’s right: a performance in a sculpture biennial) by Eames Armstrong. Three times over the course of the exhibit, Armstrong is painting text onto the brick sidewalks of Foggy Bottom using water. It’s a departure for Armstrong, whose performances can involve lots of elements, from stick-and-poke tattoos to neon bulbs; “Fog” is simple in the mode of Yoko Ono. Benjamin Andrew’s “Foggy Bottom Microobservatory” (2016), the standout in this show, also features a performance component. The piece involves a pair of microscopes erected like viewing stations around an industriallooking plinth. Through an attendant website, Andrew claims to be making fermented foods and drinks using yeast and bacteria cultivated from the area. While a Foggy Bottom kombucha may or may not be in the offing, the multi-media performance is convincing, anchored in a physical structure that serves as a science station. The artist has already hosted one workshop at the lab on making natural sodas, breads, and beers. Other works in “Turf and Terrain” play directly on their surrounding contexts, including Nicole Herbert’s “Building Blocks” (2016), a site-specific piece situated in somebody’s yard. Her piece rhymes the bricks of the rowhouse with bricks cast in cement and plaster (and also plain brick) arranged in straight-ahead, as-you-like rows. It’s a post-minimalist gesture that works a bit like the sculpture of John Ruppert, a longtime University of Maryland hand. Becky Borlan’s “Bricks” (2016) also zeroes in on context: Her piece is an acrylic wall painted like brick. It looks like a tacky filter for the home behind it.
There’s room for traditional sculpture in this sculpture biennial, although Lisa Dillin’s rust-colored “Equivalent Formations V” (2016) might be the only piece in the show that gives off a truly public-sculpture vibe. Other works are practically ceremonial, such as Jonathan Monaghan’s “Agnus Dei After Zurbaran” (2015) a laser-cut marble sculpture modeled after a lamb in a 1635 painting by Francisco de Zurbarán. Lindsay Pichaske’s “Kingdom” (2016) is subtle and subversive: It’s a realistic sculpture of a deer that could easily be confused for a decorative lawn ornament. O’Steen has almost entirely eschewed abstract sculpture, which is a welcome departure from past shows in this series. Dillin’s boxy planters or Rob Hackett’s “Step Right Up” (2016), a stair-step deck oriented like a carefully tilted piece of debris in one Foggy Bottom yard, come the closest to well-worn traditions in public sculpture established by David Smith or Mark di Suvero or the like. Patrick McDonough’s “Adaptation Terrarium: Moringa” (2016) is about as far as outdoor art gets from the moody metal icons favored by sculpture gardens. The cerebral piece almost begs for a white-cube context, but in fact, McDonough’s structure is an intervention in the environment: a greenhouse that makes it possible to grow a moringa seedling that otherwise wouldn’t thrive in Foggy Bottom. Residential and tucked away, Foggy Bottom might strike most D.C. residents as a place where art doesn’t grow. And indeed, past editions of the neighborhood’s public sculpture series trended correspondingly toward the inert and inoffensive. (With some exceptions, namely the 2014 biennial, which produced an outstanding work by Mariah Anne Johnson.) With “Turf and Terrain,” however, O’Steen has prioritized the biennial aspect of the effort by merely taking the suggestion of outdoor sculpture under advisement. —Kriston Capps Between 24th and 26th streets NW, and H and K streets NW.

Music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, book by Harvey Fierstein Based on the play by Jean Poiret Directed and choreographed by Matthew Gardiner At Signature Theatre to July 10 There’s noThing overly political in the venerable musical farce La Cage Aux Folles, unless you consider political the notions that gay people have a right to exist and that their families are as valid as any others. Set in a St. Tropez drag club, it concerns a long-settled gay couple, Georges and Albin—La Cage’s proprietor and star attraction, respectively—whose 24year-old son, Jean-Michel, asks them to masquerade as straight for a single evening. JeanMichel has become engaged to the daughter of a crusading conservative politician, whom he fears shall whisk his bride away if he discovers his prospective son-in-law is the spawn of queers. Derived from a popular French farce of the early ’70s that would also beget several film adaptations, La Cage’s Tony-winning, oft-revived 1983 musical iteration is more than a little padded, pun fully intended. While it boasts a few fun tunes—“Masculinity” remains a hilarious how-to for purging one’s comportment of any lingering swish—none are as indelible as the song Jerry Herman wrote first, the oftreprised opener “We Are What We Are.” It gets re-costumed, the first act’s powerhouse finale as “I Am What I Am.” That’s a sentiment so broad its coalition includes divas like Gloria Gaynor and Shirley Bassey (who covered the
Herman number) and man’s men like George Jones and Merle Haggard, who used its title, before the musical (Jones) and many years after (Haggard). La Cage was Herman’s 10th and final Broadway show of all-new songs. It seems fitting that his last major contribution to the American songbook was an expansive anthem of acceptance. Signature Theatre’s new revival is fleet and robust, amplifying the show’s strengths and keeping its weaknesses girdled up tight. Harvey Fierstein’s book gives only its central family trio of Georges, Albin, and Jean-Michel any real dimension. If that leaves you wishing that first-rate talents like Mitchell Hébert (as that right-wing politician) and Nova Y. Payton (as Jacqueline, the proprietor of a trendy restaurant) had more to do, their underuse is offset by the presence of D.C. musical theater veteran Bobby Smith in the show’s star part. As both the neurotic but also legitimately wounded Albin, and La Cage’s resident diva, Zsa Zsa, Smith gets to flex every muscle he has after working hard in smaller roles for years. While we’re talking muscles, Les Cagelles— the club’s half-dozen strong dance team—all look lithe and graceful executing director Matthew Gardiner’s crisp choreography. (Lee Savage’s set makes their dressing rooms visible on either side of the stage; you can watch them primp and gossip before the show proper begins.) Brent Barrett channels Robert Goulet and his mustache as Georges; he’s as confident and seductive as the role demands, and a superb singer, too. If Paul Scanlan and Jessica Lauren Ball both feel a bit reigned in as the young couple, they’re hardly the first square kids to disappoint their parents. —Chris Klimek 4200 Campbell Ave., Arlington. $40–$100.

FilmShort SubjectS WORLD PREMIERE
JEFF BEAL, COMPOSER AND CONDUCTOR
Tickle Me, Hell No Tickled
Directed by David Farrier and Dylan Reeve Tickled boasts a premise so irresistible you can’t imagine how the documentary will actually measure up: It’s about a reporter who stumbles across something called the Endurance Tickling Competition. And no, this is not a Christopher Guest mockumentary. When the reporter investigates, he discovers something far more twisted and nefarious than anyone could imagine. It sounds like the kind of movie you might select on Netflix in a late-night daze, and in a larger sense, that’s the right time and place to view it. Tickled starts out as a quirky comedy but builds into something dark, menacing, and even profound. Our amiable guide is David Farrier, a pop culture reporter from New Zealand who gets sent a few YouTube videos of strapping young men tickling each other (while the tickle recipient is tied down). As soon as he makes a few inquiries, he begins receiving threatening and derogatory notes from a mysterious woman who runs the competition. She warns him against pursuing his story, and throws in a few homophobic slurs while she’s at it. The threats only further pique Farrier’s interest. Casting his own career and concerns for his personal welfare aside, the intrepid journalist begins a journey that takes him to Los Angeles, Long Island, rural Michigan, and some even darker corners of the human soul. Such a bizarre story requires a firm directorial hand, and in their debut film, Farrier and his partner Dylan Reeve prove to be remarkable
masters of tone. The first third moves along with a winning briskness, relying mostly on the novelty of the idea and Farrier’s deadpan kiwi humor to draw you in. As they meet and interview others whom the mysterious woman has threatened they slow down, let the novelty fade away and the reality sink in: This is a tickling competition that has the power to ruin lives. In one extreme case, the menacing woman at the center of their investigation even email-bombs the White House on behalf of a disgruntled former employee, prompting a visit from the Secret Service to the poor kid’s dorm room. So what is the purpose of all this tickling? It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. When one of the participants admits (while being tickled), “I’m being violated in so many ways right now,” and another says, “I’m not naked, but I might as well be,” the subtext rises quickly to the top. Farrier discovers that tickling is a bona fide fetish, and he finds other tickle video producers who seem more at peace with their work. It’s a deeply involving story that spins out rays of meaning: social, economic, and psychological. But what we’re ultimately left with is the laughter. The giggles you hear in Tickled are infectious, and in all the worst ways. It’s hard not to smile when you see someone being tickled, but what if that person is tied down and it appears to be against their will? What if you know this video will be used to humiliate and intimidate them later? What if it means they can’t get a job, or they will go to jail? And what if you still laugh? Farrier and Reeve leave that question unanswered, but the value of their work is clear: This documentary is either the scariest comedy or the funniest horror movie ever made. —Noah Gittell

War oN WoMEN
This was a historic week for women and abortion rights activists, as the Supreme Court struck down a Texas law restricting abortion access—a bit of good news in an era that seems dominated by tragic and hateful events. The victory warrants a celebration and there’s no better way to celebrate such an occasion than by seeing Baltimore feminist hardcore quintet War On Women. Over the course of an EP (2012’s Improvised Weapons) and an LP (2015’s excellent self-titled debut), War On Women has established itself as one of the most fervent and aggressive musical voices of women’s rights, with singer Shawna Potter’s soulful, desperate screams anchoring the band’s pummeling brand of thrash and hardcore. And if you’re still not convinced of War On Women’s importance in the contemporary punk scene, take this message from the song “Roe V. World:” “You’re missing out on half the labor force, half the creative minds, when you keep women pregnant their entire fucking lives / It’s environmental, it’s economical, and truly conservative to only have children when you fucking want them.” War on Women performs with Flag and The Dirty Nil at 8 p.m. at the Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW. $25.

Rich with intrafamilial controversy, Her Sister’s Secret offers the story of a falling-out between a childless woman and her sister, a married mother in want of a child. In this wartime drama, director Edgar G. Ulmer portrays a complicated relationship between two women in the ’40s, capturing the tension of the era and exploring how the ongoing consequences of World War II led to personal battles at home. The story focuses on Toni DuBois, a young woman who meets a visiting soldier and becomes pregnant. When she declines his rushed proposal so they can test their love and be married at a later date, she decides to leave her son with her sister who’s unable to conceive. Their saga turns into a heartbreaking and uplifting tale chronicling the challenges of motherhood, the strength of familial ties, and the long-term impact of letters getting lost in the mail. The film shows at 4 p.m. at the National Gallery of Art East Building Auditorium, 6th Street and Constitution Avenue NW. Free. (202) 737-4215. nga.gov. —Raye Weigel

Each year the Smithsonian Folklife Festival honors its late co-founder, Ralph Rinzler, with a concert. Sunday night’s show marks the 50th anniversary of the National Endowment for the Arts, and organizers will highlight the diverse work of National Heritage Fellows, including the late Chuck Brown. In 2005, Brown was honored for artistic excellence and his role in sustaining the cultural heritage of his hometown. Before a set by The Chuck Brown Band, Flaco Jiménez and Los Texmaniacs excite listeners with their accordion-led songs that blend country and traditional tejano music. Remaining performers, who run the gamut from bluegrass dobro player Jerry Douglas and Irish-American fiddler and composer Liz Carroll to Iraqi-American oud player Rahim AlHaj and Palestinian-American percussionist Issa Malluf, showcase the diversity of the nation’s musical traditions. On the eve of Independence Day, this concert more consistently captures the sound of America than the one on the Capitol lawn the following evening. The concert begins at 6:30 p.m. on the National Mall at 4th Street. Free. (202) 6336440. festival.si.edu. —Steve Kiviat

Korean-American artist Michael Joo’s work examines the ways humans interact with the natural world. Whether that’s through large sculptural installations that mimic crystal structures or a reassembled set of deer antlers, his conceptual work forces viewers to interact with it. His new work at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery is no exception. Presented as part of the museum’s “Perspectives” contemporary art series, Joo’s piece explores the migration patterns of highly endangered red-crowned cranes through a combination of painting, sculpture, photography, and print-making. Just over 2,000 such birds remain in the wild, and they travel each year between China and North Korea. This piece in particular speaks to Joo’s heritage; raised in upstate New York, he’s always felt an affinity for nature, as well as for his Korean heritage. Visitors will certainly learn about the birds while observing Joo’s massive installation, but it’s his grand scale and focus on relaying a message through multiple mediums that resonates. The exhibition is on view daily, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., to July 9, 2017, at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, 1050 Independence Ave. SW. Free. (202) 633-4880. asia.si.edu. —Caroline Jones

Asanga Domask—a Sri Lankan dancer and choreographer focused on preserving endangered art forms—founded Serendib Dance Company in 2013 after nearly a decade of work with CityDance. The name “Serendib” comes from an Arabic word for the island of Sri Lanka, a place with a rich and varied dance heritage rooted in religious ceremonies. As many of its old masters have passed away and young dancers have moved toward new fusion forms, the thread of Sri Lanka’s traditional dance lineage is under threat of breaking. To combat this, Domask’s company has made the safeguarding of these traditional dances through performance and education its mission. While Domask also teaches classical Kandyan dance, her Wolf Trap performance draws inspiration from the looser Sri Lankan folk dances and the rhythms of village life. “A Single Cycle of the Sun” uses folk dance—complete with rhythmic drumming, vibrant costumes, and song—to illuminate a day in a village, illustrating the beauty and grace of its ordinary activities and the bonds between its inhabitants. Serendib Dance Company performs at 10:30 a.m. at the Wolf Trap Theatre-in-the-Woods, 1551 Trap Road, Vienna. $8. (703) 255-1900. wolftrap.org. —Emily Walz

louisahhh!!!
According to her press notes, when it came time to choose a musical alias, Louisa Pillot chose LOUISAHHH!!!—stylized in all caps with three Hs and three exclamation points—as “a war cry or a shriek of delight.” And while her moniker might not be subtle, her music certainly is. The New York-bred, Paris-based DJ, vocalist, and producer makes and mixes techno that’s built for the darkest clubs and warehouse parties: non-stop sessions heavy with pneumatic pulses, icecold synthesizers, and her own vocals, which are half-spoken and half-sung but always sultry. After coming up in New York clubs and moving to Los Angeles, Louisahhh began her musical career as half of NYCPARTYINFO, a duo that dabbled in electro-house at the turn of the decade. Soon, she broke out on her own by contributing monotone, techno-talk entreaties like “let the beat control your body” to records by Danny Daze and Brodinski. The latter became a key collaborator, as has Maelstrom, with whom Louisahhh heads the RAAR imprint, a selfdescribed “techno label for punk rockers, a punk rock label for techno-heads.” It’s an approach that drives her own music, which shares the DIY, take-no-prisoners attitude of punk, making her alias a war cry for dancefloors. Louisahhh performs with The Lothario at 8 p.m. at Flash, 645 Florida Ave. NW. $15. (202) 827-8791. flashdc.com. —Chris Kelly

Guided By Voices is back together. For any other band, that sentence would be punctuated with an exclamation point, but with the longtime Dayton, Ohio indie rock ensemble, it’s something of a routine: they break up, only to reunite a couple years later. That’s mostly because the band is—and always has been—Robert Pollard, so its current status really depends on how he’s feeling. Sure, there’s the “classic lineup” with Mitch Mitchell, Tobin Sprout, Jim Pollard, and Kevin Fennell, but over the course of more than 30 years and 20 albums, the lineup has changed excessively while Bob Pollard has remained the band’s fearless, drunk, and often incoherent frontman. As a songwriter, Pollard is so prolific that he probably wrote about half of a new record in the time it took me to write this paragraph. In all seriousness, since the band reunited for the first time in 2010, it put out six albums before disbanding again in 2014. The band has only been “reunited” (meaning Pollard and some new hired guns) for a few months, but it already has a new record out. Who knows the lifespan of this GBV lineup, but it’s best to catch the band now, before it breaks up again and reforms two years later. Guided by Voices performs with Nap Eyes at 7 p.m. at 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW. $35. (202) 265-0930. 930.com. —Matt Cohen
