In which we apologize

Bad Err Day Before we can discuss the reaction to last week’s cover story on Hirschhorn leader Melissa Chiu, whose New York connections have raised eyebrows in D.C., City Paper needs to apologize. From Editor Steve Cavendish: “In the print edition of [last] week’s Washington City Paper, we made a mistake. In the cover lines to Kriston Capps’ quite excellent profile of new Hirshhorn chief Melissa Chiu, we called her ‘Mary Chiu’ instead. For those of you unfamiliar with how print publications are put together, it takes a village of editors to pull off a mistake like this, and our village has been appropriately chastened.

We apologize for the error.”

To err is human, to comment about something other than our mistake, divine. The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities called the piece “fascinating” in a tweet. (Thanks, Obama!)

Hedgehog wrote in the comments section, “Thanks for the article. I feel a lot better informed, having gotten a pretty onedimensional view of her and her actions from other news sources. It made me really interested to see where things will go in the next couple of years.” While Capps made the case that “Chiu could be a strong friend to the District and its artists and viewers,” richard wang had words of caution: “Enjoy Melissa in D.C.. We were happy to see here out of the contemporary Asian art scene here in NYC. Her behavior

artists an opportunity to show their work in order to promote only a few ‘insiders’.” washingtonian was similarly unimpressed: “what a puff piece! … kriston, it doesn’t make a difference whether other museums have fundraisers in other cities, or who was on the invite list. its an outrageous and unacceptable decision. no fully engaged board would ever allow it. chiu is using her time at the hirshhorn as a stepping stone to advance the careers and line the pockets of jianetti and others in her coterie - all at taxpayer and district expense. fuck koons, kapoor, and abramovic. if they can’t come to dc, we don’t want them. more importantly, we don’t want chiu. please go back to wherever you have ‘residence’ and don’t take up tables at rose’s luxury.”

Wells: Wildlife plan does not endorse killing feral cats.

Loose Lips

Moneyball

By Will Sommer Last week, Muriel Bowser headed to Congress Heights to reenact a scene that’s become pretty familiar to Washingtonians over the past decade—another mayor announcing another stadium deal.

This time, Bowser went to the podium with Wizards and Mystics owner Ted Leonsis to announce a $55 million deal to build a basketball practice facility and arena on the St. Elizabeths campus. Leonsis, whose teams get to use space in the new facility for just $15 million in rent and neighborhood philanthropy, looked like Wizards star John Wall had just sunk a buzzer beater.

“This is a BFD,” Bowser declared, doing her best Joe Biden impression. Signs around the press conference declared that the arena deal, which aims to bring 90 non-basketball events a year to Congress Heights, was “bigger than basketball.”

At the end of Leonsis’ speech, he handed Bowser a Wizards jersey; on the back was her name and the number 51—for the 51st state the District hopes to become, naturally. But by cutting the deal with Leonsis, Bowser has joined a far more exclusive team: District mayors who have gone big on stadium investments.

Bowser and rival Vince Gray didn’t agree on much during last year’s primary, but they both pushed through the D.C. United stadium at Buzzard Point. Bowser opposed Gray’s version of the deal, which swapped U Street’s Reeves Center property for Akridge’s Buzzard Point parcel. After she was able to take the Reeves Center out, though, she signed it. By the end of the month, the District is set to file for Akridge’s share of the land through eminent domain.

Before Bowser and Gray set D.C. Unit-

ed up at Buzzard Point, Bowser mentor Adrian Fenty tried unsuccessfully to get the team to Poplar Point. Fenty could be the model sports mayor: Once an opponent of the Nationals Park deal pitched by former Mayor Anthony Williams as a councilmember, he happily presided over its opening once in office (and scuffled with councilmembers over tickets to games).

For District mayors, stadiums provide an easy chance to inject business into an area—and create a looming reminder of mayoral legacy along the way. In fact, there’s something about sports in the District that means that the mayor—or the people who hope to be mayor—has to like them.

Consider the fate of Nationals Park foe David Catania, whose independent run at the mayoralty last year was even more doomed after he started catching criticisms from foes that he had never been to the stadium. Catania, who nursed his grievance over the stadium’s public financing so much that he kept a model of the stadium in his Council office, finally had to relent.

He tweeted his visit to the park, decked out in red.

The Wizards package now means that Bowser is the rare mayor with two stadium deals under her belt, counting the D.C. United stadium. Before her term is up, though, Bowser aims to outdo all of her predecessors and add a whopping third stadium.

That’s because Bowser’s administration has been courting Pigskins owner Dan Snyder to move his NFL team to the District, with its lease in Landover up in 12 years. While Bowser’s staff have courted their counterparts on the team with meetings and tickets to Nationals games, the deal has been complicated by Bowser’s onand-off position on whether the team name is offensive.

The odds on the Pigskins coming back to the District are long. Still, all of the mayoral stadium politicking has won over at least one fellow pol: Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans, a stadium booster so reliable that he sprung into action earlier this year when Nationals Park’s basement flooded. Despite running against Bowser in the Democratic primary last year, Evans is a big fan of the Wizards practice facility deal, being one of three councilmembers who came to the announcement last week.

“She’s been good to work with,” Evans says.

Evans isn’t the only councilmember who, like Bowser, wants to see the Mystics arena in Ward 8. While then-Ward 1 Councilmember Jim Graham made noise about what would replace the Reeves Center in the D.C. United swap, Ward 8 Councilmember and Bowser ally LaRuby May is on board with the basketball arena plan.

Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, no easy vote for Bowser to win, told NBC4

Lauren Heneghan

Muriel Bowser goes all in on stadium deals for D.C.’s professional teams.

the plan is “intriguing.”

It’s not clear when Bowser will send the deal to the Council—she declined to provide a timeline on the submission last week.

Since the District’s $23 million comes out of money already appropriated for development at St. Elizabeths, the Council’s role in deciding how to spend the money could be limited.

The vague terms of the plan are keeping even frequent stadium critics out of the field for now. Ed Lazere, the boss of the lefty D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute think tank, is usually a reliable opponent of publicly financed stadiums. For now, though, Lazere declined to comment to

DISTRICTLINE Should RFK Stadium’s parking lots become parks?

Darrow Montgomery

LL on the proposal.

This lack of opposition to Bowser’s plan comes despite some pretty ugly figures for the city’s contribution to the arena-slashpractice facility. The District will put in $23 million, while Events D.C., the quasi-public agency funded by taxes, will operate the facility and pay $27 million. Leonsis, meanwhile, will put in $5 million in rent and $10 million in investments and charitable contributions over 20 years.

Asked if Leonsis was paying enough, Bowser insisted at her press conference that she had negotiated a good deal. The city projects $90 million in tax revenue over 20 years—a number that relies on competing with similarly sized venues like DAR Constitution Hall. To generate that $90 million, the new Mystics arena needs to host a whopping 90 non-basketball events a year, even as Leonsis himself acknowledges convincing patrons to get used to coming to Congress Heights will take years.

At least the Mystics games themselves will probably be packed. Curiously, the arena plans to seat only 5,000, while the 2014 average draw for the team that once hung much derided “Attendance Champion” banners from Verizon Center’s rafters was more than 8,000 a game.

So far, the Congress Heights activists that LL has talked to are wary but optimistic about the changes the new arena could bring to the area. Bowser says her administration will face the potential Chinatownstyle displacement of current residents when the issue comes up.

For his part, Leonsis pointed out that the mostly empty 183-acre campus offers plenty of room for the kinds of restaurants and nightlife that line 7th Street NW next to Verizon Center for Wizards fans.

“We needed a game changer here at St. Elizabeths,” Bowser said of the planned facility. “We’ve heard a lot of what was going to happen at St. Elizabeths, we just haven’t seen it happen.”

There’s at least one neighborhood that isn’t looking for the kinds of sports-related “game changer” that Bowser is starting to specialize in, according to the results of a community meeting last week.

That would be Capitol Hill, which is facing the prospect of an empty RFK Stadium nearby after D.C. United decamps for Buzzard Point in 2017.

Accounts of the meeting relayed residents’ gripes with the idea of replacing the soccer team with the Pigskins at the site: traffic, acres and acres of parking lots instead of parks, and a stadium that sits

empty for most of the year. A picture of the kind of community meeting butcher paper that usually features inoffensive community input-type solutions on it had one overwhelming message written on it: “NO NFL.” Bowser claims to hear the complaints.

“The last thing you want to have as mayor is have all that sea of concrete and a vacant football stadium,” Bowser said during an appearance on WAMU’s Politics Hour on Friday.

8 september 25, 2015 washingtoncitypaper.com

Whether Bowser would let neighborhood park fans stand in the way of her being the mayor who wins back the D.C. area’s most visible sports franchise remains to be seen.

But she might not have a say in it, either— the Department of the Interior, which has final say over the RFK Stadium site, has said the team can’t come back to the site until it changes its name. This decision, as so much else with the District, ultimately lies with the feds.

Even without the Pigskins, though,

Bowser looks set to score two stadiums for the District (or one and half, if you count D.C. United at Buzzard Point as Gray’s idea). Presuming that she can get the Wizards deal through the Council, Bowser will have succeeded in getting that most coveted of mayoral goals in the District—a legacy CP that can be seen from a satellite.

Gear Prudence: I live in Columbia Heights, a part of town where there’s a lot of competition for a limited number of Bikeshare bikes. A few mornings ago, I arrived yet again to a station that was empty, but I figured I would give it a few minutes before giving up and moving on.

A little later another rider arrived and docked his bike, but before I could get there, a guy who clearly arrived after me grabbed the bike. I said I was there first, but he insisted that since the rider docked closer to him rather than me, it was rightfully his bike. In my state of dumbfoundedness, he rode away, and I fumed about it the rest of my long, hot walk to work. This can’t possibly be right. What’s the proper etiquette here?

And how should two potential riders resolve this —Rider Obviously kind of thing?

Borrowed Bike Erroneously, Dirtbag Dear ROBBED: For a system that emphasizes sharing (and which anagramizes to “a charitable spike”), contention abounds in a moment of scarcity. Whether it’s riders racing to snag the last open dock or would-be riders racing to abscond with the last available bike, imbalances in the system create scenarios of desperation and fierce competition. Sometimes these contests are won by physical prowess, but other times, as in your case, they’re won by guile. Suffice it to say, you got hosed.

There’s no such thing as “closer wins.”

Bikeshare etiquette dictates a first-come, firstserved system. Have your fob ready so there’s no doubt as to why you’re milling around the station. Ask any standers-by if they are also waiting for a bike to forestall any potential confusion. Really get your point across by performing some Bikeshare-appropriate calisthenics as you chant “I’m No. 1. I’m No. 1.” If you see a potential lurker, calmly indicate to him or her that you’ve been waiting.

In nearly all cases, Washingtonians, the polite sheeple that we are, will queue, and having obviated any confusion about your desire to snag the next bike, it’s highly unlikely that there will be dissension.

But what to do when there is a conflict?

Standard dispute resolution techniques can be applied—rock-paper-scissors, coin toss, fisticuffs, licking the bike [note: please don’t lick the bike]—or you could consider applying quaint notions of deference and decency and accepting the karmic benefits down the road.

Or try this: You both take out your Bikeshare keys and ask a random stranger to pick a number between zero and nine. Whichever key’s last digit is closer to the random stranger’s choice wins the bike. In the case of a tie, maybe just start taking your own bike to work —GP and opt out of this silliness.

Spencer’s Story...

MEET SPENCER! Please contact Rural Dog Rescue www.ruraldogrescue.com to complete an application or visit Spencer at the adoption event this Saturday from 12 - 3 at Howl To The Chief 733 8th Street SE DC.

Spencer is a 50lb hound mix and just an absolute sweetheart! He is very loving and eager to please. He is a friend to every person or other dog he meets, although he is perhaps too interested in cats! We have not seen a hint of food aggression, toy hoarding or other indication that he will initiate aggression of any kind. In fact, he is extremely social and excited to meet everyone he encounters. Spencer is crate trained and while what he wants most is to be with his people, he doesn’t suffer from any separation anxiety. He seems to be completely house trained. He will let you know when he needs to go out. When it is bedtime he settles right down, whether it be in his crate or on a dog bed in the bedroom. Like most Treeing Walker Coonhounds, Spencer is an explorer, a counter-surfer, and a climber, indoors and out. True to his breed, he needs a couple of hours of outdoors time (total) each day, and loves to have canine or human companions outdoors playing with him. His leash manners are improving, often his nose lead the way. He would love to take long walks with his people.

Currently he gets most of his exercise in a fenced in backyard. He does not bark excessively nor does he seem to have any issues with being outside. He makes no attempt to escape, nor is he interested in seeing what is beyond the fence. When Spencer arrived to his foster family he was nearstarvation and in dire need for extra food, TLC, and had a thin coat. Spencer has gained a good amount E” ED ® of weight since June when he joined Rural Dog VOTPET SERV2I0C15 . ,inc Rescue. His ribs are no longer visible and his coat is T C S D E “B ST OF . almost completely full.

UNOBSTRUCTEDVIEW In Defense of FairWeather Fans

By Matt Terl The Nationals have some terrific fans: People who are smart, rabid, passionate, incisive, and full of the kind of insight and bile and vitriol that only the deepest sports fandom can generate.

These are people who would celebrate deliriously if the team managed to pull off a miracle in the closing weeks of the season; who might happily light manager Matt Williams on fire if he makes one more inexplicable pitching change; and who will never, ever be invited to Thanksgiving dinner at relief pitcher Drew Storen’s house.

These are Good Baseball Fans™. I admire them, follow many of them on Twitter, and benefit from their analysis all season. I am also not even close to being one of them, in part because I, like so many people from this area around my age, grew up without baseball.

Whenever I say this around my mother, she takes offense and disputes it. She comes from a family where baseball fandom was important—we left a Washington Senators cap on my uncle’s grave—and she did her best to pass it on to me, even if it meant slogging up to Baltimore. (I’ve grown to love Baltimore, but I grew up in Montgomery County considering it a distant, unknowable wilderness, like New York City or the Thunderdome.)

She always points to a specific game we attended at Memorial Stadium as proof: There’s a picture of me in an Orioles jacket in the fake “locker room” set on the stadium concourse! I cheered the whole game!

I got Cal Ripken’s autograph!

The last part is the only one I remember. We were watching the players during pre-game from seats fairly close in, and Ripken came over before heading into the dugout. It was his rookie season, so I was 5 or 6, and I remember the whole thing in one frozen image: I was looking up at him, as I was both very small and seated, and the sky behind him was the brittle blue of idyllic baseball memories since time immemorial. His hair was very dark, spilling out from under the old-and-now-new-again cartoon bird cap, and his eyes were so blue that it was like you could see the sky through holes bored in his head. He smiled, signed a ball and a program, said something friendly, and 12 september 25, 2015 washingtoncitypaper.com

then walked away to play in several thousand consecutive baseball games. It was the kind of moment that makes a baseball fan for life.

Except it didn’t. I lost the signed program within a week, and played catch with the signed ball for a few years before losing it also.

For some reason, people really seem to care if the Nationals have good fans. The most recent flare-up happened when Bryce Harper complained about fans leaving in the 7th inning in a crucial division game on Labor Day, but it’s been an incessant refrain from the Guardians of the Purity of Baseball Fandom for years.

Will Leitch, formerly of Deadspin, currently sportswriter-at-a-bunch-of-places, and always a St. Louis Cardinals homer, is maybe the patron saint of this particular cause. Occasionally parachuting in to remind Nats fans just how horrible they are is a pastime for Leitch. He played the inexperience card in 2012 (“they just don’t get all the little things”) and the D.C.-asembodiment-of-disfunction card in 2014 (“With Congress at 15 percent approval ratings and the president in the low forties, it’s a wonder the Nationals aren’t as hated as the Yankees.”)

Leitch’s reasoning in that last piece may be totally faulty, but I have a suspicion that his underlying thesis—i.e., that the average casual Nats fan isn’t very good at rooting for this team—has merit. Hell, I am living proof of it.

And you know what? That seems pretty okay to me.

Survivor starts its 31st season this week. I couldn’t help but do some math when I saw that number. Thirty-one seasons at about 16 hours per season means that if you’ve watched every episode of every season, you have lost three full weeks of your life to Jeff Probst and his merry band. (And that’s three weeks watching Clockwork Orange-style, without eating or sleeping.) I was all set to be snarky about this, and then I thought about baseball.

The average length of a baseball game over the last two years is about three hours.

That means that each year, if you’re a Real Baseball Fan and watch every game, you spend as many hours staring at baseball every season as our hypothetical Survivor superfan has spent on their show over its entire on-air lifetime.

I really have trouble casting aspersions on people who don’t want to make that level of commitment.

I enjoy watching the Nats. They’re a fun

team with a lot of talent, and they—like the Capitals—are fortunate enough to have players whose ability is apparent to even the more casual viewer. Harper especially is a joy to watch. They offer the genuine hope of a postseason run, and sometimes they win games thrillingly. Despite that early September swoon, they’re making the end of the season a must-watch event.

I enjoy the free McNuggets they earn for me when they score six runs.

And that seems like a pretty reasonable level of engagement to me, at this point.

No one likes to admit it, but the vast majority of fans are fair weather. Everyone remembers the glory years for the Pigskins—Parades! RFK stands bouncing! Peace and racial equality in the streets of D.C.!—but somehow forgets the long stretches prior to RFK when that was an easy ticket. Only through the Sonny Jurgensen years, the George Allen years, and into the championship era did the fanbase turn into the “greatest fans in football” or whatever. (And we’re now learning that there’s a half-life on that kind of loyalty, as Week One’s teal takeover of FedExField illustrated so clearly.)

And that’s football! Part of the success of football comes because it’s so easy to watch. Yes, there are long slow stretches during a football game, but the games only happen once a week, and it’s possible to catch up on all the developments in a single recap. There’s no farm league or developmental team to watch. You can check in once a week and have a pretty decent water cooler-level understanding of what’s going on.

To really follow baseball requires patience—an understanding of progress as a glacial shift over time, rather than the bipolar swings that characterize a football season. That can be tough to wrap your brain around, and it gets even tougher as we come to the end of the season and realize that now every game really does matter now and maybe you really shouldn’t be leaving in the 7th.

Ultimately, what it comes down to is this: Nationals fans are exactly where we should be right now. We’ve got our diehard fans, who can confidently look to a future of disdaining the johnny-come-latelies like me, and we have a broader fanbase that’s learning and growing, even though there are hiccups here and there. And one day—with a little luck and some team success—we can all hope to become as pompous and sanctimonious as Cardinals fans.

SAVAGELOVE I’m a 26-year-old single bi woman. Sometimes my roommate/best friend and I have drunken threesomes with men. We’ve had some great onenight stands (less scary with a friend!), but recently we slept with a man I’ve been (drunkenly) sleeping with over a period of months, my “friend with benefits.” I shared my FWB with my roommate because she wanted to have sex, and I shared my roommate with my FWB because he wanted to experience a threesome. I told my roommate afterward that I wouldn’t like it if she slept with my FWB on her own, and I told my FWB that we should have discussed having a threesome before it happened.

We went out drinking another night, I left early, and they wound up sleeping together. I was upset with my roommate, because she knew how I felt. But I am disgusted and angry with my FWB because he had to “work” to convince my roommate to get her into bed. I have forgiven my roommate—she says she is mad at herself and at him—but it’s hard to blame these two friends for hurting me because people make mistakes when they’re drunk. Still, this whole ordeal has made me reconsider my friendship with my FWB. He thinks we’re just friends, but I have now realized that I have deeper feelings for him. I feel very close to him, and we do a lot of fun things together. I’ve been pretty open with him about my feelings, but he hasn’t shared how he feels.

Can I continue being friends with my FWB? Or do I need to break off my friendship with my FWB because I actually want something more with him? What can my FWB do to mend this?

—Best Friend Fucker What can I do?

I had to read your letter three times to figure out who did what—and I had to shorten it considerably (and edit for clarity)— and honestly, BFF, I’m still a little fuzzy on the violations. But I think it goes like this: You asked your roommate not to fuck your FWB in your absence despite having already invited her to fuck him in your presence and your roommate went ahead and fucked your FWB anyway (violation #1),

and you told your FWB that a threesome with your roommate without prior discussion was a misdemeanor so he should’ve known that initiating a twosome with your roommate would be a felony but he went ahead and twosomed the shit out of your roommate anyway (violation #2).

Taking your questions one at a time: Can you continue being friends with your FWB? That depends on what your roommate means by “work.” If she means your FWB overcame her initial reluctance to fuck him solo with some flirty talk and assurances that you wouldn’t mind, then, yeah, you can continue to be friends with your FWB. People have managed to salvage friendships out of relationships that imploded much more spectacularly, BFF. If someone can get past an infidelity or a betrayal or a child conceived with a piece-on-the-side and remain on friendly terms with their cheating, lying, breeding ex, you should be able to work through this. But if what your roommate means by “work” is that your FWB coerced her into having sex, you shouldn’t want to salvage a friendship with that rapey POS. Do you need to break off your friendship with your FWB because you’ve realized you want something more from him, i.e., a committed relationship? Someone in a FWB arrangement wanting to be more than friends—boyfriend or girlfriend or nonbinaryfriend—is the leading cause of death for FWB arrangements. And while normally the friend who wants to keep things casual is the one who ends the arrangement, BFF, if you want more and you know he can’t give it to you, or if you fear you can’t trust him around current and future roommates, then feel free to end it. But if you really like him—despite the violation and, emphasizing this again, only if the “work” he did on your roommate wasn’t coercive or rapey—then go ahead and ask him to upgrade your FWB arrangement to GF/BF relationship.

What can your FWB do to mend this? He

can apologize to you and your roommate and toss his dick around more considerately in the future.

What can you do? You can try to see this for what it was: Two people who’d already fucked—two people who fucked in front of you at your invitation—got drunk and fucked again. You can choose to see that encounter as a violation that requires drastic retaliatory measures (friendships ended, leases broken), BFF, or you can choose to see it as the messy denouement of an ill-advised/ rushed threesome that you set in motion.

—Dan Savage What does it mean when you find a pair of tit clamps in your “vanilla” boyfriend’s dresser?

—Told Him I’m Not Kinky It means he’s the pope—what the fuck do you think it means? It means he owns a pair of tit clamps. It could mean he’s slightly less vanilla than he’s let on, THINK, or it could mean he has a kinky ex who left a pair of tit clamps behind, or it could mean he got a pair of tit clamps as a dirty Secret Santa gift and isn’t phobic about being perceived as even slightly kinky so he tossed them in a drawer —Dan without a second thought.

Straight man, married for 12 years, love my wife very much. We have a great relationship, and I cannot see myself being with anyone else.

A few years ago, she came out to me as bisexual. At the time, it hit me harder than I would have expected. Part of the reason was she explained that she often fantasizes about women when we have sex in order to come. She says she is attracted to me and loves our sex life.

We have exhausted the topic of bringing someone else into our relationship and recommitted to monogamy. Is it inevitable that she will cheat to satisfy her curiosity? She says she wouldn’t, and I have to trust that, but it is always in the back of my head. What do I do?

—Just One Exception

It means he’s the pope— what the fuck do you think it means?

I can’t promise you that your wife won’t ever cheat—not because she’s bisexual, JOE, but because she’s human. Women who are 100 percent straight cheat on their husbands every day; husbands who are 100 percent straight cheat on their wives every day. And while on the one hand, it’s unfortunate your wife told you she sometimes has to think about women to get off during sex with you (not everything has to be shared, people), the fact that she trusted you/burdened you with that information says a lot about your relationship.

So what do you do? Two things: Continue to put your trust in your wife, while at the same time reassuring yourself that your absolute worst-case scenario—your wife sleeps with a woman—will result in the destruction of your marriage only if you define a single infidelity as a relationship-extinction-level event. A pass to fuck a woman at some point in her life may not be something you can let your wife have, JOE, but it may be something —Dan you could let yourself forgive.

If walking or bicycling on a street that doesn’t have sidewalks, I’ve always been taught to do so in the direction of the street traffic, which seems to be dogma. I would think going against traffic would theoretically be safer—allowing a view of oncoming cars and possibly crucial eye contact with drivers.

Certainly easier to spot an impaired driver that’s weaving on the road facing forward rather than backward. Your thoughts? —George Kuritza George, did you ever see those bumper stickers that say “My karma ran over your dogma”?

Suffice it to say your dogma’s in a vulnerable position here. In places where no sidewalks exist, walkers and runners are advised to travel in the opposite direction of motor-vehicle traffic—that’s to say, on the left side of the road, if we’re assuming an American layout.

The logic behind this is pretty much as you present it: They’ll be in a better position to spot, say, a drunk or distracted driver careering at them on the highway ahead.

The same doesn’t hold true for biking.

That’s as it should be: According to the League of American Bicyclists, bikers traveling against traffic are three times more likely to be involved in an accident. It’s a dangerous practice for a number of reasons. Say you meet another cyclist traveling in the opposite (i.e., correct) direction—somebody’s gotta swerve out into the road to make way. (Courtesy suggests it be you, seeing as you’re the one on the wrong side of the road.) Drivers don’t expect to see cyclists traveling toward them, and often aren’t on the lookout—like when they’re turning left into an intersection.

And then there’s simple physics: A head-on car-bike collision will be a magnitude more violent than a bump from behind.

Oh, and it’s illegal. Laws in most states currently call for bicyclists to travel as far to the right as practicable—AFRAP, in the parlance—with obvious exceptions for turning left or passing. Federal bodies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also have plenty to say about biking and walking, none of it different from what I’ve laid out here. In recent years, though, they’ve started saying it a lot louder, as fatality stats have gotten markedly worse. Injury and death to cyclists and pedestrians has been on the rise since 2009; between 2011 and 2012 alone, reports the Department of Transportation, pedestrian deaths were up 6 percent and cyclist deaths up 7 percent. In September 2014 transportation secretary Anthony Foxx announced an 18-month campaign to address the problem, which will include both “design improvements” and public education.

From the pedestrian perspective, it’s fairly plain where the action is: namely, not out where there are no sidewalks. In 2012, nearly threequarters of pedestrian fatalities occurred in an urban setting. Almost 70 percent occurred away

Slug Signorino

THESTRAIGHTDOPE from intersections, 89 percent during normal weather conditions, and 70 percent after 6 PM; 48 percent involved alcohol. (What’s more dangerous in rural areas? Driving. In 2013 rural areas accounted for 54 percent of fatal motor-vehicle crashes in the United States, and only 19 percent of its population.)

But people have been drinking and jaywalking forever. Why all the alarming statistics lately? What’s changed pedestrian behavior in this century?

Phones, for one. A 2013 study out of Ohio State University tracked emergency-room cases between 2004 and 2010 reporting injury related to cell phone use while walking and found the annual number had doubled, to 1,500, in that period. Mind you, these didn’t all involve automobiles; no doubt some were pedestrian-lamppost collisions. In one reported case, a “14-year-old boy walking down a road while talking on a cell phone fell 6 to 8 feet off a bridge into a rock-strewn ditch, suffering chest and shoulder injuries.” Injuries were highest, unsurprisingly, among the 16to-25-year-old set.

The situation is different with bikes. A study out this month found a 28 percent increase in adult bike injuries between 1998 and 2013—from 96 to 123 per 100,000 people. The rise was especially prevalent in riders over 45, who are apparently taking to the bike lanes in droves. That said, it’s not clear this indicates any problem greater than there just being more bikes on the road than ever before.

The clearest lesson is that roads, which were largely drawn up with car traffic in mind, are now more crowded by everybody. A May 2014 report from Smart Growth America places the blame for rising pedestrian deaths squarely on lagging urban-planning paradigms, noting that most fatalities occur in the Sunbelt—places that “grew in the post-war period, mostly through rapid spread of low-density neighborhoods that rely on wider streets with higher speeds to connect homes, shops and schools”—and particularly along arterial streets, i.e., urban thoroughfares designed to move lots of cars along as quickly as possible. So your best bet wherever you are is to watch your back, and your front, and wait for transportation —Cecil Adams planners to catch up.

YOUNG & HUNGRY

The Sipping Point D.C. begins to take sake seriously.

Photographs by Laura Hayes

Jesse Selvagn of Bar Otsukare teaches Sake 101 at Crane & Turtle.

By Laura Hayes If you dine out enough, you’ve probably heard of a sommelier, maybe even a cicerone, but there’s another beverage certification becoming increasingly popular in D.C., and it says something about the growing popularity of sake.

Jamie MacBain, Daikaya’s beverage director, became a Certified Sake Advisor last winter after taking a one-day, $475 course that culminated in a 100-question test at the Sake School of America in New York. Daikaya paid his way, but he took the class for personal gain, too. “Bartending is becoming a respected profession again,” he says. “There has been a need to develop certifications like Certified Spirits Specialist in addition to sommelier programs that have been around for decades, and sake is next.”

Other local professionals who recently passed the course include Kaz Okochi, chef and owner of Kaz Sushi Bistro, and

Jesse Selvagn who co-founded Bar Otsukare, a Japanese beverage pop-up that launched this summer.

“It was really helpful because unlike wine, it’s hard to research and study sake unaided,” Selvagn says. “If I could type in kanji, it would be a whole different story.” Fresh off the course, Selvagn applied his newfound knowledge by teaching Sake 101 courses through Bar Otsukare, which first popped-up at Crane & Turtle.

“Sake is ripe for building upon with the increase of culinary awareness people have these days, especially the attention to sourcing and food and drinks that tell a story,” Selvagn says.

“That awareness is increasing, and I hope it’s going hand in hand with sake becoming one of the great beverages of the world.”

Okochi, on the other hand, enrolled in the course to take his knowledge to the next level before launching Monday night sake classes and debuting a new sake menu.

Enrollment at the Sake School of America is trending upwards, according to Executive Instructor Toshio Ueno, who has watched classes grow over the past five years. The amount of sake imported into the United States is growing, too. In 2014, 4.3 million liters of sake were imported as compared to 2.7 million in 2010, according to the Ministry of Finance of Japan. Looking at the years in between isn’t effective because of the impact of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

2015 should be a banner year. “I’m working with a brand right now that sold two containers last year, and this year, so far, we’re already up to five and a half,” says Tiffany Dawn Soto, the Baltimore-based Master Sake Sommelier who founded Sake 2 You and consults at Azumi.

Soto says sake today is where wine was in the 1980s—transitioning from a bourgeois beverage for special occasions to the mainstream. “It’s being introduced on pairing menus and in cocktails, which is what wine coolers did for wine back then.”

Health-conscious Americans are adding to sake’s popularity.

“Sake is gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian,” Soto says. “There are no egg whites, fish bladder, or pig spleen like you can find in fine wine, and there’s a big caloric difference—compare 50 calories a glass to 350 in a glass of white wine.”

Not only are there more Japanese restaurants today, Ueno says, but non-Japanese eateries like Chinese and Thai restaurants are putting in sushi bars with sake menus. In the District, Thai Chef Sushi Bar Restaurant, Teak Wood, and I-Thai Restaurant & Sushi Bar come to mind. But in order for sake to reach its true sipping point, it will need to expand beyond Asian restaurants.

Ueno suggests this has already started to happen.

“Even the Court of Master Sommeliers requires the knowledge of sake once you get to the advanced and master levels,” Ueno says. “Sake is not a Japanese beverage anymore. It’s part of wine, it’s part of alcohol drinking on mainstream menus.”

Two such menus can be found at the Partisan and B Side, where Wine Director Brent Kroll carries a sparkling junmai daiginjo. “The sparkling sake can go three to four months without selling, but when it does, people always order a second or a third,” he says. “Once customers start to see sake on other menus, that’s when the light bulb is going to go off.”

Keith Goldston, a master sommelier and the wine director at the Grill Room, has an affinity for sake and has even brewed it in Japan. “I feel like sake is always there on the surface waiting to happen,” Goldston says. “I had it on wine lists way back in the 1990s when I was at Spago for Wolfgang Puck in Las Vegas.

DCFEED(cont.) had to be a hand-sell from a sommelier or beverage director, people wouldn’t look at the list and order it. That hasn’t happened yet.”

Goldston has used nigori sake in pairing menus with soups and bisques, but the possibilities are endless. “It’s graceful, it’s like a perfectly wonderful butler that will work for whomever, take a backseat, and make everything look better around it,” Goldston says.

Soto would agree. “I believe that sake’s place is not in Japanese restaurants. Sake’s place is everywhere.” Her favorite combination is a pulled pork sandwich with a really bright ginjo, but she also identified fried chicken, ceviche, and braised meat as attractive pairings.

While the idea of spiking wine lists with sake in the District continues to simmer, Japanese restaurants are taking steps to make sake more approachable with user-friendly lists. Sushi Taro, for example, went through a major renovation in 2009, and launched a new sake menu in 2010.

“The original drink menu was probably 75 percent Niigata sake because that was the way we could make sure it was the best of the best,” says General Manager Jin Yamazaki. “But this was pushing our taste on everyone else. We started to realize that everybody is different and we needed a more diverse selection.”

Three new additions to the Kaz Sushi Bistro sake list Yamazaki had another strategy to steer diners toward sake. “I eliminated all hard liquors, so we don’t have anything but sake, Japanese whiskey, and shochu,” he says. “There are so many people who sit down and order a Kettle One with soda without even looking at the menu, and I want to ask, ‘Why are you here to begin with?’”

Okochi similarly started out with a one-note list. “Twenty-three years ago, I picked sakes that were easy to drink—the light and smooth type—but people are learning and there is

more available.” Now he’s brazen enough to serve unique picks like Amabuki, a junmai ginjo made with the yeast from strawberries.

Okochi edited his new menu down, removing the Japanese prefectures and the serving size in millimeters. The sake is now categorized into flavor profiles such as “fragrant” and “light and smooth” to aid guests. Finally, Okochi is rewarding those who order a bottle of sake instead of a 6 oz. carafe by providing the opportunity to choose which sake cups they’d like to sip from.

Daikaya similarly organizes their sake by flavor profiles like “light and refreshing” instead of prefecture or classification such as daiginjo and ginjo, which refers to the extent that the rice has been polished. “It’s really confusing for people,” MacBain says. “Listing the prefecture or even the rice used are things a sake geek would love, but for the average consumer, it becomes too much.”

He’s right. Sake is confusing, especially the labels, and it’s creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Most consumers don’t know enough about sake to recognize a good value, so they order the cheapest sake on the list. This means they’re not getting exposed to better sakes, thus putting the brakes on sake truly catching on.

“Most people have only experienced lowend stuff used for sake bombs or sake that’s been poured through one of those hot sake machines,” Selvagn says. “Those are the lowest grades of sake you can get—there are no nuances or character to coddle.” Soto agrees.

“Sake is not that hot battery acid that you drink with bad sushi at 3 a.m. Sake is as diCP verse as you can imagine.”

from the celery. Sriracha brings out the heat in the curry, but what really makes the sandwich interesting is the addition of cilantro.

It adds the crunch of lettuce, but its sourness transforms the sandwich into something more fully developed than your typical deli offering.

Cons: There’s a lot of mayo binding it together, making the Juniper a little slimy. The tough bread usually softens when it supports Taylor’s wetter sandwiches, but tearing

Thickness: 3 inches Pros: Chicken salad sandwiches usually taste more like mayonnaise than chicken, but the addition of curry and the sweet seasonal slaw brightens this sandwich’s flavor profile without adding any bitterness

through it with your teeth sends the ingredients flying out the other end.

Sloppiness level (1 to 5): 3. Sandwiches of the salad variety are messy as a rule and this one faces the added challenge of having grapes slip out every time you take a bite.

Keep a fork handy to poke the escapees back into the bun.

Overall score (1 to 5): 3.5. The added touches from the cilantro and sriracha make this sandwich interesting, but it makes such a mess that you have to make sure not to eat it while wearing white. If you’re trying to beat the lunch rush at Taylor, however, this can’t be beat: The cold sandwiches come out at least five minutes before the hot ones.

’Fest Case Scenario

Underserved The best cocktail you’re not ordering

What: Quill’s Rum Plum Pum with Ron Zacapa Rum 23, plum vermouth, and Amaro Averna Where: Quill at The Jefferson, 1200 16th St. NW Price: $16 What You Should Be Drinking The Rum Plum Pum, whose name is a play on “The Little Drummer Boy” lyrics, is the kind of cocktail you drink on Christmas Eve when it’s time to put the eggnog away and have a real cocktail. The boozy dark rum drink carries the warming spices commonly associated with fall and the holidays. Those spices come from bartender Sophie Szych’s housemade plum vermouth. Szych started with white wine fortified with rum before emptying a spice drawer: “There’s cinnamon, juniper berries, cloves, coriander, allspice, star anise, vanilla, citrus peel, and a good dose of plum as well,” she says. Szych used gentian root as the bittering agent, which you’ve likely had before because it’s the base of Angostura bitters. The final ingredient is Averna, an ancient Sicilian amaro dating back to 1868.

Why You Should Be Drinking It The Rum Plum Pum is set up like a Manhattan, which Szych hopes opens imbibers’ minds to trying rum in classic cocktails instead of bourbon or rye. “A lot of people think of rum as a tiki thing, which is great, but it can also be a fantastic component in booze-forward cocktails when subbed in for other spirits,” she says. That being said, the drink is underserved because of traditionalists. “This is a riff on something—and it’s kind of out there—so people say, ‘Thanks but no thanks, I’ll stick to my sweet baby with Basil Hayden’s or Maker’s Mark or whatever.’” Trust Szych. When a woman of Scottish descent steers you away from whiskey, it’s for good reason. The Guatemalan dark rum carries a deep caramel flavor, and once the plum vermouth is stirred into the cocktail, it tastes and smells like a plum cobbler fresh out of the oven. —Laura Hayes

When actors enter showmances, they try to break a leg without breaking a heart.

Megan Reichelt knew it wasn’t a normal curtain call when the music coming from the speakers switched to Death Cab for Cutie’s “I Will Follow You Into the Dark,” her song with then-boyfriend Lee Liebeskind.

The other cast members of Neverwhere quickly cleared off the stage. Liebeskind got down on one knee and took a ring box out of a tool belt, part of his costume for the role of Hammersmith in Rorschach Theatre’s Neil Gaiman adaptation (“He looked so cute in that costume,” Reichelt recalls).

It took some serious maneuvering to even get Reichelt on that stage. While Reichelt and Liebeskind are both Rorschach company members, she was the dramaturg for the show and didn’t have an acting role.

“Lee had this convoluted idea of how to propose,” says Randy Baker, Rorschach’s co-artistic director.

“He wanted Meg to be in costume when he did it.”

Liebeskind took advantage of Rorschach’s Kickstarter campaign, which was offering a walk-on role in the 2013 production in exchange for a $1,000 donation. The wife of a board member played the part of the donor, and the crew asked Reichelt to wrangle the non-actress on-stage to make sure she wasn’t blocking any entrances for actors. With costumes made for Reichelt and the donor, the two served as extras in crowd scenes. At the end of the show, they got to take a bow with the rest of the cast. That’s when Liebeskind made his move.

“Everyone was acting so weird that night, and I thought it was because of the donor lady,” says Reichelt.

“I thrive in chaos so I was calm, but everyone else was freaking out,” says Liebeskind. His biggest concern was whether the ring box would fall out of his tool belt.

Plus, they were both fasting for Yom Kippur.

“I was not expecting it,” says Reichelt, who is also a company member at Flying V Theatre. “It was just perfect because the show was such an ‘us’ show.” The two, who met during Rorschach’s production of Rough Magic in 2007, were married this August.

Why were their colleagues at Rorschach so keen to help them out? Well, for one, this isn’t the first on-stage proposal the company has seen.

Baker proposed to his wife, Deb Sivigny, during the 2005 run of The Beard of Avon. The two met when Sivigny designed costumes for The Illusion, which Baker produced.

In that same show, the relationship between Baker’s co-ar-

date in the D.C. theater scene—you’re always dating someone’s ex.”

While many people end up dating in the workplace regardless of their career, those involved in theater say that there’s something special about creating a show together.

“As a performer, you have to allow yourself to explore different emotions and reveal layers of identity, so you need to have trust,” says Josef Palermo, an intermedia artist and performer who works locally in theater and visual arts. For Palermo, the personal relationships that develop make collaboration more fruitful.

And those late hours and going out after rehearsal can lead to something more.

“It’s all very heightened, very dramatic, appropriately,” says Jonelle Walker, director of New Works at Blind Pug and occasional City Paper contributor. “I’d liken it to high school. Each show is a separate class you’re in, and you build a shared history over time.”

It also doesn’t hurt that theater depends on attractive, charismatic people for castmembers, explains director Matt Wilson, whose production of Much Ado About Nothing just opened at the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company. “Anyone who’s ever had a fan crush or infatuation with a performer might imagine what that’s like when you’re working with that person all the time very closely,” he says. “It’s not hard for artists to get swept away by somebody and to feel an intimate connection with somebody whose work they really admire.”

To the heady mix of intimacy and attraction, throw in a dash of odd scheduling.

“Theater has this unique thing where you work on a show for so many hours, but it’s finite,” says Baker, Rorschach’s co-artistic director. “You get to know a group of people very well over a very short period of time and then it’s over and you do it with a different group. That’s why so much romance develops.”

But romances even develop when troupes perform together for years on end, like at Washington Improv Theater.

“We really seem to rack up the marriages,” says Mark Chalfant, WIT’s artistic/executive director.

Molly Murchie met her husband Colin Murchie after their first improv performances in 2003.

“Improv gives you a chance to see the best and worst of another person,” she says. “In scripted theater, you’re using other people’s words, but in WIT, you get a pretty good idea of the person they actually are from seeing them perform, because you have to draw from your own personality.”

tistic director, Jenny McConnell Frederick, and her husband, sound designer Matt Frederick, blossomed. What was it about that production that made its participants so lucky in love?

“It was very hot,” Baker says, quickly clarifying: “No air conditioning.”

But Rorschach Theatre isn’t alone in seeing many members of its cast and crew couple up. Four Avant Bard Acting Company members are longtime partners who met each other during production of a show, according to Avant Bard Director of Communications John Stoltenberg.

“Of the people I meet in the theater community, most of their significant others are involved in theater,” says freelance stage manager Jessica Soriano. “That’s why I don’t want to

Unlike many offices that have strict rules regarding coworkers dating, “theater’s rules are fluid,” says Liebeskind, who also runs The Inkwell (a local theater incubator) and works as artistic adviser at Flying V. Because most actors work as contractors, theaters would have a tough time imposing a no-fraternizing policy.

“I don’t think you can put rules like that in place for what adults do in their own time, and most actors are very good at leaving that at the door,” Wilson says.

Not all actors can do it, though.

One technician, who would only speak anonymously, says that “one actor, who I didn’t know had a crush on me, saw me and my boyfriend in the street. He was so angry that I was in a relationship he wouldn’t talk to me. That was a problem because we really needed to communicate for the show to run.

When these things go wrong, they really go wrong.”

One actor, who also requested anonymity, says he’s witnessed enough affairs to feel disheartened about the prospects of dating on set. “After seeing so many people cheat on their spouses with people in theater, I got pretty jaded.”

But even when they’re not doing anything taboo, many people try to keep their so-called “showmances” a secret.

Stage manager Sarah Conte met her boyfriend Tyler Herman when she was working as an apprentice at Imagination

Stage in Bethesda, and he was the lead in Perseus Bayou in 2011. “We kept it a secret because I was afraid I’d get in trouble,” she says. “I was embarrassed a bit at the time because I thought, ‘You’re an actor and I’m a lowly intern.’”

Herman also had his misgivings about starting a relationship with someone who worked on the show. “I had just been with-slash-not with another actor and it wasn’t going swimmingly,” he says. “I remember feeling worried that whatever happened or might happen, it might affect the work, and the show was very important to me so I didn’t want that.”

But once Perseus Bayou closed, the relationship faced a new set of challenges.

“The easy thing of showmances is that you see each other every day, and you can leave candies in each other’s lockers and do stuff like that,” says Herman. “When the show ended, we were trying to find the time to see each other.”

Not all productions are lucky enough to avoid showmance drama.

Liebeskind describes one theatrical tour which had three couples on it. “They were great, but for everyone else it meant that if you had a disagreement with one person, you actually had a disagreement with two people.”

Conte also notes some complications in dealing with couples.

“It’s hard to navigate when someone wants to work with their wife and it’s like, ‘Your wife is awesome, but she’s not the best for the show.’ You can’t always work with your significant other.”

And because power dynamics are always shifting as people trade roles—from actors to stage managers to directors—these relationships face new struggles, as well.

In Rorschach’s 2014 production of Glass Heart, Liebeskind directed and Reichelt acted in it.

“We all thought, ‘Oh gosh, this is gonna destroy your relationship,’ but it didn’t,” says Baker.

Liebeskind and Reichelt put rules in place to make sure

their relationship could weather the production. “No kissing during rehearsal, that was the only rule beforehand,” he recalls.

“I didn’t want anyone thinking that I had gotten the role because he was my fiancé,” Reichelt says.

“But you didn’t!” Liebeskind says. “Meg rocked it. The other people who auditioned were great too, but she just killed it.”

Liebeskind recalls another production he was in years ago where two young leads started hooking up. “It was adorable [but] it lasted a week and a half.” Once it ended, “the director had to reblock scenes because the passion wasn’t there anymore. Breakups can really destroy the chemistry of romantic leads.”

“Every time there is an extremely heightened showmance, it’s [between] the people who you don’t see interact with each other,” says Walker. “It’s always the people you don’t expect. Those relationships are always in the shadows, behind the curtain.”

Because most theaters do not have a human resources department, stage managers are the people who deal with most of the behind-the-scenes drama. “Stage managers are emotional ninjas,” Wilson says.

How do they do it?

“Basically, it comes down to treating people as individuals,” says Conte. “Never say to one, ‘Let the other one know this’ because you have to treat all actors as actors, regardless of their relationships outside that room.”

And if there is a problem, more often, it’s the relationship— not the show—that suffers.

“Shows can ruin a relationship, sure,” says Baker. “But I wouldn’t blame the show for that. It’s a pressure cooker. It’s like travelling. You know how they say you shouldn’t get married to someone until you travel together? Doing an intimate experience like theater can help you realize if you’re really CP meant to be.”

Fall’s here, and you know what time it is!

Join us for the 12th annual Washington City Paper crafty bastards arts & crafts fair this time last year, donald trump was entertaining us with offers of free golf to President Obama if he resigned his post. fall 2015 finds us all worried that by next year, the donald could be in a position to turn the National Mall into an 18-holer. thankfully, not much has changed at crafty bastards. this is our 12th year hosting d.c.’s premier arts fair and the third year union Market is hosting us. as usual, our huge team of talented crafters and artisans has been painting, sewing, gluing, cooking, and printing ’round the clock to get ready for this big weekend. it never ceases to amaze us what they come up with. you can get a start on holiday shopping for everyone on your list. find something special to wear to the annual party; stock up on bags, beauty products, and tees; and shop for cute stuff for the kids and delicious goodies for the foodies in your life. starting an art collection isn’t just for the wealthy—there’s amazing and inexpensive art and collectibles to be found throughout the fair. and if you’ve got a wedding coming up, you’ll find everything you need to accessorize your special day, from invites to jewelry to attendant gifts. but heads-up—some vendors are here only one of the two days, so be sure to check our handy list on this page so you don’t miss your favorites. as usual, a convoy of food trucks will be here to serve up treats for hungry shoppers, and you can also head into union Market, where you’ll find some of d.c.’s finest artisanal food creations. the New belgium beer garden is back to entice you with adult beverages and a place to sit and recover. also, be on the lookout for their sample stations, which will be spread throughout the festival.

Kids get in for free, and when they start to get restless, take a break in the crafty clubhouse with its box-and-chalk area and child-friendly crafts to keep them occupied. (there’s nothing in the rule book that says you can’t enjoy a cold one while they play!)

Most importantly, we want everyone to have a blast. We love having you here and wish you happy shopping!

Stamp Yo Face!

er erica Deputy. As a bonus, think of the sheets you’ll save! Cp also makes adult-size necklaces, with 15 percent of the sale price going to charities like the Wounded Warrior project.

Nothing says “I’m into you” as much as a custom rubber stamp from Stamp Yo Face! Use it on those invitations or thank you cards you need to send out—or just use it to add some fun to your correspondence for years to come.

Images of pets and kids can be turned into a stamp, too—and the stamps make great gifts.

Artist Hannah Scott, who does the drawings, and her partner Kevin Wildt, who takes care of the production, can whip one up from any photo, so get out your selfie stick and say cheese.

Funky and Little

Look at those legs! Joahna Akalin started making pants for her son, but after getting requests from other moms, she decided to set up her own business. Funky and Little’s organic cotton leggings and harem pants feature cute prints and pair well with an equally funky line of tees. they’re comfy and cool enough to take your kid from the playground to a rocknoceros show, and their pull-on styling will be a blessing during potty-training time.

FOR THE KIDS

FOR YOU

Forest and Fin

riding a bike is great—you can avoid sitting in traffic or spending your whole paycheck on Uber trips home. but where to put your wallet, ID, phone, keys, lip gloss, sunglasses, tampons, and gum? the ingenious bike wrap skirt from Forest and Fin just got put into production after a successful Kickstarter campaign, which is no surprise: With hidden pockets for all your essentials, fasteners to prevent anyone seeing your knickers, and straps to keep it from flying into your tires, it might be the most perfect piece of cycling gear a girl can have.

Make It Good

Edie & Fin

the series of squeaks and squeals when your wee one dons these adorable sweater boots by meghan bergstrom of edie & Fin won’t be coming from your kid—they’ll be from covetous friends and family. Fashioned using repurposed wool and cotton sweaters, they’ll keep toes nice and warm, and pair well with everything from leggings to skirts to plain ol’ diapers. edie & Fin’s product line also includes hand-sewn shoes featuring ninjas and vikings so every taste is covered.

Conflicted Pixie

All kids need a fort for private meetings about Nerf battle rules, tea parties, or cooling down during a time-out. Conflicted pixie’s play tent is handmade with untreated wood and simple fabrics and is designed to “add a modern play space in any room of your home,” says own-

If you do end up having to cycle anywhere with more than the basics, portland’s make It Good makes simple but stylish backpacks that double as totes and are sturdy enough to carry your bike lock and puncture kit. made from handprinted canvas with copper-plated hardware and leather straps, and large enough to fit most laptops, these bags are perfect for school and elegant enough for the office.

Cutesy but not Cutesy

Akiko Oguchi learned to sew from her mother and grandmother when she was a kid, and she uses her skills to craft simple but exquisitely made bags, baskets, planters, and pillows from natural canvas paired with brightly colored cotton fabrics. She says, “All of my products are inspired by Southwestern/South American colors paired with the refined simplicity of Japanese aesthetic.” Her bucket tote, with its warm tones and soft leather straps, will make you stand out at the farmers market and is large enough to work as a weekender.

act hasn’t gotten tiresome yet because these beats are so good. The radical balancing act continues on “Gotta Get That Silver, Man,” No. 2 on the band’s upcoming album, We Sass You Shake Yr Ass, due out in December.

Musical Motivation: After roasting condo owners and the places they party, Jack on Fire turns its molotov cocktails on the premiere blog and comment section of a changed District: PoPville, aka Prince of Petworth, aka Dan Silverman. If the titular play on Silverman’s name and his site’s editorial instincts strikes you as a little anti-Semitic, hey, check out these goth-at-the-beach guitar licks.

Art All Night: Nuit Blanche

More than 250 artists and musicians will take over D.C. Saturday night with performances and exhibits at venues across the city. The one-night event, which began in Paris in 2002, is named after the French expression for “all-nighter,” or “white night.”

Highlights include a series of concerts in Congress Heights featuring local bands like indie-pop Footwerk, a multimedia show projected onto a Bank of America building on H Street NE, and a silent disco party in Bloomingdale. Sept. 26 at various venues. Free.

The work of Polish sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz is the subject of the third installation of the New York Avenue Sculpture Project, an initiative by the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Sunday is your last chance to view five of Abakanowicz’s bronze and stainless steel sculptures, which explore the power of nature through figures of humans and birds. Through Sept. 27 on New York Avenue between 12th and 13th streets NW. Free.

Landmark music Festival

Outdoor concert season comes to a close this weekend with the first-ever Landmark Music Festival near the National Mall. Tickets to the two-day event will set you back as much as $175—but at least you can feel good knowing your cash will go toward The Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring the Mall.

Headliners include Drake, alt-j, and the Strokes. Sept. 26 and 27 at West Potomac Park. $105 to $175.

‘a ringmaster of Desktop racists’: “Gotta Get That Silver, Man” ties Silverman’s blog motto with the rising cost of rent in places like the neighborhood where Silverman started blogging: “Welcome to the beautiful life, but only if you can pay the price.” The song’s cry of “Do you know/just who I am?” is a deep cut even for dedicated PoPville antagonists—it’s a reference to an apocryphal instance of Silverman asking a hapless service —Will sommer worker exactly that.

TheaTerCurtain Calls A Night At the Meh

Uprising imagines the aftermath of John Brown’s failed rebellion.

Carmen is the kind of opera that makes opera criticism a somewhat pointless exercise.

Is it good? Bad? Does it matter? Audiences will come to see it regardless; the Washington National Opera knows this, that’s why they chose it to open their 60th season. It’s what pays for the rest of a company’s season, which for the WNO this year will skew to the obscure (Philip Glass’s Appomattox, Kurt Weill’s Lost in the Stars) or expensive (Wagner’s entire Ring cycle, long awaited here).

And that’s OK. Sometimes you need something that people actually like, or at least are pretty certain they will like. Something that doesn’t try too hard, gives you what you came for, sends you home happy, which you’ll enjoy in the moment and then forget about the next day. This production, a loaner from Canadian Opera Company in its D.C. debut, does exactly what it’s supposed to, no more but no less.

It isn’t good, and it isn’t bad. It’s somewhere in between, which is to say, good enough. It’s not a particularly daring production, by design: The only modest innovation is a pair of flamenco dancers who put on a fun show during set changes. The set designs (a mountain camp, a bullring grandstand) are pretty standard. Georges Bizet’s music is immediately recognizable (in the best Orlando boy band tradition, he repeats themes from the main arias throughout so you can’t get them out of your head), so it doesn’t really matter that Evan Rogister conducts it a little too fast, or the orchestra isn’t always balanced, because you’ll hear that Toreador melody so many damn times you’ll be humming along to it whether you like it or not.

What would make any Carmen a truly great Carmen would be, of course, a great Carmen— that is, a great mezzo in the title role. This production doesn’t quite have that (at least the one I saw; the production has a rotating cast and this review is for the one on Saturday). That’s not to say French mezzo Clémentine Margaine isn’t a good singer; she is, with a pretty, stout voice and a nice vocal range. She’s just not so convincing as Carmen, despite it being a role Margaine does frequently: She comes across as more bossy than sexy, with an intonation that’s more declarative than seductive.

Perhaps an unsexy Carmen would be appropriate for some kind of subversive reinterpretation of Bizet’s exercise in leering exoticism; I’m not the first to point out how fucked up it is that Carmen is the opera that made the femme fatale trope famous, given that the actual fatale charac-

But again, none of this really matters. If WNO played it safe, it’s because Carmen is a gateway opera. And like other gateways of the narcotic variety, it doesn’t have to be amazing, just good enough to get you interested, in hopes that you’ll come back and next time they can sell you something more potent, be it Wagner or heroin. There may not be much to draw newbies back to the Kennedy Center Opera House this season, however, unless they are history buffs (Appomattox) or gluttons for punishment (Ring). But as a one off, it makes for a perfectly nice, if not particularly memorable, —Mike Paarlberg night at the opera.

ter in it is a man and the titular femme is his victim. Carmen really should be shorthand for femicide, not “hot-blooded Gypsy women dancing on tables.” But no, this production is pretty loyal to Bizet’s original, down to the disgusting implication that Carmen sort of had it coming to her.

The other weak spot is Escamillo, the bullfighter who steals Carmen’s heart, which sends her ex-boyfriend on his murderous path. Saturday’s Escamillo, baritone Michael Todd Simpson, lacked in projection and got swallowed up by the orchestra and chorus on a few occasions. Bryan Hymel, as Carmen’s stalker ex, Don José, is better; he has a clear, brassy though slightly nasally tenor. A standout is soprano Janai Brugger as Micaela, who has an unrequited crush on José; Brugger is sparkling, draws rich colors, and is naturally sympathetic—though it’s a bad sign for any Carmen that the most exciting role is someone not named Carmen.

Uprising

By Gabrielle Fulton Directed by Thomas W. Jones II Music directed by William Knowles At Metro Stage to Oct. 25

40 september 25, 2015 washingtoncitypaper.com

When abolitionist John Brown raided the Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, not-yetWest Virginia in October of 1859, his force numbered fewer than two dozen men. His plan anticipated that once they had rounded up Harpers Ferry’s slaveowners, the town’s newly liberated slaves would join Brown’s guerilla platoon. They didn’t. The local militia had already managed to kill eight of Brown’s raiders by the time General Robert E. Lee arrived with a detachment of professional soldiers to quash the rebellion. Brown was captured alive; he was convicted and hanged before the year was out.

But a handful of his men escaped. Uprising, Atlanta-based dramatist Gabrielle Ful-

ton’s “rolling world premiere” play with music, imagines the consequences when the sole black survivor of Brown’s doomed mission hides out in a Pennsylvania community of black men and women who earn a per-pound rate for the cotton they pick. Whether in an attempt to demonstrate that an evil as profound as slavery will not accommodate fence-sitters or out of simple necessity to keep the cast size down, the play suffers from some shaky (though fixable) plotting, requiring one character to execute an unconvincing ethical quick-change. But it’s still richly imagined, resonant, and lustily performed, examining the limits of sacrifice and heroism with a sobriety that goes far beyond knee-jerk reverence for the Founding Fathers.

That fugitive abolitionist was a real person, one Osborne Perry Anderson. Born a free man in Pennsylvania, Anderson studied philosophy at Oberlin College—the first in the U.S. to admit black students—and operated a print shop in what is now Ontario, Canada before joining the abolitionist cause. As envisaged by Fulton and embodied by Anthony Manough (who originated the role at Atlanta’s Horizon Theatre last summer), Ossie is dashing, eloquent, and righteous, but possessed of a fatal hubris, all of which Manough plays beautifully. Sneaking through a cotton field, he’s smitten when he lays eyes on Sal (the equally convincing Cynthia D. Barker), who picks more cotton most days than the men, despite her habit of conversing with birds and the wind. She clearly likes him, too, with his boundless confidence and knack for oratory. “Picking cotton is not your magnum opus!” he says, imploring her to allow him to teach her to read.

With the same optimism that proved Brown’s undoing, Ossie reveals himself to Sal’s neighbors—Doug Brown, Enoch King, and Roz White, all teriffic—who are divided on whether to keep quiet or to turn him in for a $500 reward. Whistle (a sturdy Peter Boyer), their white boss, initially treats his apparently all-black workforce with dignity and even warmth, but he grows suspicious and cruel as evidence piles up that an abolitionist fugitive is hiding on his plantation.

If the forces pressuring Whistle to adopt the extreme measures that he eventually takes were more clearly depicted, that might solve the characterization problem.

In his zeal to inspire Freddie (Jeremiah Hasty), a little boy to whom Sal has become a surrogate mom, Ossie makes a huge mistake that places the boy at risk. There’s the rub: Ossie and Sol clearly pine for one another, but for Sol, everything is secondary to her drive to protect the kid. Here Ossie, the armed insurgent, urges Sol to pursue Freddie’s case in the courts, while the formerly moderate Sol is now ready to employ Any Means Necessary.

The music is a rangy mix of Negro spirituals (“Steal Away,” “Jordan River”) and songs both newly written and adapted from antiquity by Fulton, composer Theodis Ealey, and arrangContinued

FILM

Maybe Mama

The heartbreak of a mother’s confusion, and a monstrous mom movie that’s just confusing Goodnight Mommy

Goodnight Mommy Directed by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz Coming Home Directed by Zhang Yimou

By Tricia Olszewski Goodnight Mommy is a con, the cinematic equivalent of one person pointing to the sky while another picks your pocket. It’s not the kind of gasp-inducing sleight-of-hand from slick (or once-slick) tricksters such as Alfred Hitchcock or M. Night Shyamalan; it’s unoriginal and duplicitous—unoriginal in its duplicity—an alleyway robbery via three-card monte. The hype that followed as the film filled its dance card around the world can be chalked up only to festival fever, or filmgoers who don’t mind lukewarm seconds.

Written and directed by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz, both of whom are making their feature debuts here, the Austrian Goodnight Mommy is told from the perspective of twin boys, Lukas and Elias (Lukas Schwarz and Elias Schwarz), who are amusing themselves on their acres of land when their mother (Susanne Wuest) returns home after having plastic surgery. Her face is bandaged, bruised, and monstrous; you don’t completely blame them for not running into her arms.

From that point on, she’s irritable, overreactive, and sometimes just plain mean as she scolds the boys for everything they do or don’t do and refuses to talk to Lukas. (When she gives Elias a drink and Lukas whispers to his brother that he also wants one, she says, “Then he can ask me himself.”) Soon she sets up new rules for the house, one of them being “absolute silence” so she can recover from surgery.

The boys are also not allowed to bring anything

Coming Home from the great outdoors into the house. (They have a thing for cockroaches, which they keep in an aquarium.)

This essentially masked woman is acting more Mommie Dearest than Mom, and the boys want to know who she is. There’s a random clue in the form of a photo of herself smiling with a lookalike, but otherwise the film is full of details that are weird for the sake of weird: an apparent family habit of opening and closing the blinds to signal the nobody who’s out there, a delivery of a freezer’s worth of frozen pizzas, the twins standing close together and in the same position, à la The Shining. (Were twins creepy before The Shining?)

But there’s no logic to the premise. If she is their mother, why is she being such a jerk?

(A lullaby recorded pre-surgery shows a clearly softer, more loving voice.) If she’s not their

mother, why would an imposter want to do little but be stern with the boys? The answer is a cheat, and once Goodnight Mommy takes a sharp left into torture-porn territory, your hopes—or fears— of those nightmares the trailer promised are dashed. Sure, a roach may crawl into Mother’s mouth. But little of this gets under your skin.

Zhang Yimou’s Coming Home tells of a true nightmare about an unfamiliar loved one.

The story, albeit simple, is meant to break your heart instead of speed up its beat, and it’s effective because versions of it play out every day. At the film’s core is amnesia—specifically psychogenic amnesia, which here bears a closer resemblance to Alzheimer’s.

Coming Home, which scripter Zou Jingzhi adapted from a novel, begins with a teenage girl, Dandan (Zhang Huiwen), being pulled out of

her dance class to meet her mother, Yu (Gong Li), at the principal’s office. He tells them that Lu (Chen Daoming), their respective father and husband, has escaped the prison he’d been sent to 10 years prior during the Cultural Revolution.

They’re informed that it’s against party law to see him or withhold information on his whereabouts. Yu looks stricken, but Dandan promptly declares her allegiance to the party.

Lu, having jumped a train during a transfer, is covered with filth and eating out of garbage cans before he attempts to visit his home. He manages to sneak by a guard but not Dandan, though he slips a note under Yu’s door before Dandan can speak to him. Lu’s note asks Yu to meet him at a train station the next morning; when they finally lock eyes from afar, Lu spots the authorities spotting him and yells at Yu to run. In the chaos, Yu is knocked down and hits her head.

The film jumps three years, when the revolution is over and Lu is freed, and you can piece together what happens. Though he’s cleaned up and looks handsome, Yu does not recognize him. Her memory problems have pushed even her beloved daughter away, and now Dandan and Lu must conspire to jog her memory.

Zhang (House of Flying Daggers) could have easily turned this into the human version of Hachiko: A Dog’s Story, whose very synopsis will make you weep. A subtle string score stops just short of cloying, bringing a low-key melancholy to every hope-filled reunion in which Lu must pretend to be a stranger. Integral to the tone of this film are the performances, and both Daoming and Li are startling: Daoming’s face must register Lu’s heartache without Yu detecting, except when he flat-out insists that he’s her husband, and the actor does so with a realism that’s piercing.

Li, however, manages to outshine him in a turn that recalls Julianne Moore’s Oscarwinning performance in last year’s Still Alice. Yu’s memory loss and frequent confusion prematurely ages her as she stops, crinkles her brow, or squints her eyes to try to remember what she was doing or whom this person is before her.

The performances are so uncanny, in fact, it seems as if Li studied Alice to prepare, which, due to release dates, is highly improbable.

Once Yu’s memory loss is revealed, there’s not much of an arc left to the story. There’s no big moment, neither of joy nor devastation; it’s just a handicap that Yu and her husband and daughter must learn to live with. Adapting to a different family dynamic once tragedy strikes is, if anything, the film’s message. The irony is that the lesson needed to be delivered softly for CP it to be unforgettable.

Goodnight Mommy opens Friday at Landmark E Street Cinema.

Coming Home opens Friday at Landmark Bethesda Row.

CITY LIGHTS: FRIDAY

“UNCENSORED: INFORMATION ANTICS”

As the District’s central library, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library serves as the city’s official information repository. Within its three stories, users can explore D.C.’s history in the Washingtoniana room, check out a variety of contemporary fiction titles, and, for the next month, interact with 11 different works of art, installed at the library as part of its celebration of Banned Books Week. As part of “UNCENSORED: Information Antics,” the artists present work that responds, in some way, to the capture and dissemination of information. Some, like Billy Friebele’s “Ultrasonic Reflector” (pictured), a music-making robot that makes different sounds based on how near or far you are from it, appear fun and whimsical, while other projects appear more somber. Nate Larson and Marnie Shendelman’s image series, “Geolocation,” is fueled by publicly supplied information (in this case the geographic location tags attached to tweets); the pair then went to those locations and photographed them. Guests can see the work at the exhibition’s opening celebration on Sept. 25, when area bartenders will serve cocktails inspired by famous banned books, or wander through the installations at their leisure throughout October.

CITY LIGHTS: SATURDAY

THE MYNABIRDS That the Mynabirds’ third record, Lovers Know, is songstress Laura Burhenn’s most personal album should come as no surprise to fans of the vocalist who previously made up half of the D.C.-based pop duo Georgie James. After touring with the Postal Service during its 2013 reunion, Burhenn took a year to travel the globe solo, visiting South Africa, trekking through Europe, and driving across the U.S. twice, returning with an album’s worth of new material. Recorded in studios in Los Angeles, Joshua Tree, Nashville, and Auckland, New Zealand, the new album has a similarly global footprint. Burhenn’s rich, swelling vocals carry over the album’s shimmering synths, throbbing bass, and glittery cymbal clashes, giving Lovers Know a dreamy, ethereal quality. Each track is at once intimate and grand, personal and universal—the perfect balance for a powerful live performance. The Mynabirds perform with Stranger Cat and Bad Bad Hats at 6 p.m. at U Street Music Hall, 1115 U —Tatiana Cirisano St. NW. $15. (202) 588-1889. ustreetmusichall.com.

DOOMTREE

Minnesota-based hip-hop collective Doomtree began in 2001 as a group of friends burning CDs to distribute to other acquaintances. The group’s seven members (producers Lazerbeak and Paper Tiger; MCs P.O.S., Sims, Mike Mictlan, Dessa, and Cecil Otter) have since gone on to build a record label and a publishing house, mix beats, and write press releases for each other’s solo albums in a one-stop independent shop. As they put it in lyrics, “we rock a DIY ethic.” This fierce sense of collective self-reliance, born from necessity, has something in common with Minnesota’s broader underground hip-hop scene, following the pioneering build-it-and-they-will-come model of the foundational label Rhymesayers, home to heavyweights Atmosphere and Brother Ali. The Doomtree members, each accomplished artists in their own rights, synthesize their styles into a punk-and-poetry-tinged brand of hip-hop. From this, they’ve forged a sound marked by a revelatory energy and rappers tag-teaming to execute lyrical plunges into philosophy and history and back around to politics and pop culture. Peppered with stories of where they’ve been and how far they’ve come, the group’s new album, All Hands, is equal parts hip-hop’s signature braggadocio and defiant collective affirmation. Doomtree performs with Speedy Ortiz and Serengeti at 8 p.m. at Rock & Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE. $20. (202) —Emily Walz 388-7625. rockandrollhoteldc.com.

ROE

All you need to do is turn on C-SPAN to learn that Congress insists on re-litigating the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which ensured a woman’s legal right to have an abortion. But if you’d like to see women included in the conversation, you might be better served checking out Roe at the Kennedy Center’s Theater Lab, presented as part of the Women’s Voices Theater Festival. Lisa Loomer’s (pictured) new play looks at the famous case from the perspective of two women at its forefront: Sarah Weddington, the dynamic young prosecutor who argued the case in front of the court, and Norma McCorvey (a.k.a. Jane Roe), the Texas woman seeking to terminate her pregnancy who later became a pro-life advocate. The play doesn’t debut in its full form until April 2016, when it will have its world premiere at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, so this is your chance to get a sneak peak with a free reading. The reading begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Kennedy Center Theater Lab, 2700 F St. NW. —Rachel Kurzius Free. (202) 467-4600. kennedy-center.org.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Despite hailing from Southern California, where long sleeves are optional most weeks of the year, The Neighbourhood first earned attention in 2012 for its moody and sexy track “Sweater Weather.” Now, on the eve of the release of its second full-length album, WIPED OUT!, the band has hit the road in support. The Neighbourhood’s last release, the secretive 2014 mixtape #000000 & #FFFFFF, generated plenty of buzz and anticipation for more new music. The new LP won’t come out until October so throw on your best fall flannel and tell all your friends you heard the season’s best new album before its official debut.

IBEYI

The immensely talented French-Cuban twins who make up soul act Ibeyi—Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz—have spent the past year digging through music’s underground to create mysterious and moody songs. With a name that means “twins” in Yoruba, the sister act explores the slightly unsettling unknown on songs like “River,” in which they seek spiritual renewal against a background of looped synths, and its latest release “Stranger Lover,” in which the pair tries to navigate a failing relationship. But even though these sisters mirror each other in appearance, their styles differ and blend to make Ibeyi a beautiful collaboration. While Naomi is more interested in rap beats and plays traditional Cuban percussion instruments, Lisa, the primary vocalist, infuses slower tempoed works with her sultry delivery. Ibeyi performs with Vicktor Taiwò at 7 p.m. at 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW. $20. (202) —Jordan-Marie Smith 265-0930. 930.com. production full of flour, sugar, and bitter batter battles.

TINY ISLAND

A long, long time ago, in the early days of the Reagan administration, a unique type of business sprang up around the country, where one could rent movies to watch on a home television and also purchase snacks to enjoy while watching said video. Michael Hollinger’s (pictured) play Tiny Island looks at the disruption of the video store from the perspective of middle-aged siblings Hazel and Muriel, who grew up working at their family’s movie theater. While Hazel keeps screening old films to dwindling audiences, Muriel is wrapped up in personal drama, returning to her hometown in order to sort things out with her sister. When Hazel starts hearing voices, both women are forced to look back at their pasts to figure out where they went wrong and how to cope with the world that’s changing around them. Hollinger’s work regularly blends the personal and professional, and this is no exception. While you can’t pick up the popcorn and watch the action unfold from the comfort of your couch, Washington Stage Guild’s performance will be worth the trip to the theater. The play runs Oct. 1 to Oct. 25 at Washington Stage Guild, 900 Massachusetts Ave. NW. $40–$50. (240) 582-0050. stageguild.org. —Caroline Jones
