Firing at Will

In which readers take a little too much delight in a self-immolation

Darrow MontgoMery

EvEry now and again, a story subject loses all sense of judgment and propriety and effectively backs up on himself and drops something revolting. What might have been an unflattering but otherwise unremarkable story becomes a career closing bell. That’s what happened last week when political consultant John Rodriguez, a principal at District Political, made an unseemly call to City Paper reporter Will Sommer, who was penning a piece about the firm’s dubious reputation, earned after bungling a number of recent campaigns. Just as Sommer was finishing his reporting, Rodriguez called him to effectively try to bribe the paper into snuffing publication of the piece (“Blunder Boys,” Sept. 30).

Naturally, the audacious plot twist—a kicker to beat all kickers—made it into the article, which led to Rodriguez’s untimely expatriation from District Political. Journalism news website Poynter took notice, as did many others who might not otherwise have cared about a floundering political shop.

Vexation and no small degree of tribulation ensued. “The end of this story (plus the update) is amazing,” Drew Courtney (@DrewCourt) tweeted. “The last few grafs of this column are such a great payoff,” wrote Jason Plautz (@Jason_ Plautz). “This is hilarious and sad. City Paper at it’s best,” noted Daniel Varghese (@drvarg01). My thoughts exactly. Meanwhile, craft beer apostles are still in a sudsy lather over Zach Rausnitz’s essay in our recent beer issue (“Sour Notes,” Sept. 23) in which he cast them as elitists masquerading as commoners. “When will media elites realize that #beer lovers don’t gaf whether or not they share our passion for #craftbeer?” Brew Studs (@BrewStuds) wrote. Finally, readers may notice we’re taking a little nostalgic license by using our old logo on the cover this week. It’s temporary.

—Liz Garrigan Department of Corrections: In last week’s piece about the renovation of the East Building at the National Gallery of Art, we listed in error the year it opened and its address (though the latter is a point of deep contention, like all D.C. geography). It opened in 1978, and the institution prefers to be listed at 4th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW (as opposed to Constitution).

Tomorrow’s History Today: This was the week a D.C. Council committee narrowly advanced a right-to-die bill 3-2.

Crummelling Infrastructure

By Andrew Giambrone In 1911, more than 25 years before the glassy Hecht Company Warehouse was built on New York Avenue NE, and exactly 100 years before Douglas Development purchased it to turn into chic apartments and yuppie-serving retail, the Alexander Crummell School opened its doors to the District’s African-American students.

Named for an abolitionist and Episcopal priest who founded St. Luke’s Church in Dupont Circle, the school served D.C.’s black children for over half a century.

But enrollment plummeted in the 1960s as its home neighborhood, Ivy City, bled industrial and railroad jobs. Crummell eventually closed in 1972. A nonprofit ran community services in the building through the rest of that decade.

The property has remained vacant ever since. Meanwhile, development has crept farther east of Florida Avenue, transforming the area around Union Market. As one example, Hecht now houses upwards of 300 apartments and a 900-spot parking garage. It has a MOM’s Organic Market, a Nike, a Petco, and more.

Yet Crummell’s dead-zone status is set to change in the coming years, bolstering the revitalization of Ivy City. In April, the District released a solicitation for teams to redesign the 108,000-square-foot site, including the sizable lot that surrounds the empty school. Three responded, offering a range of mixed-income housing, commercial activity, and amenities.

Their submissions followed a year-long community engagement process organized by the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, headed by Brian Kenner. Residents have expressed support for a new Crummell that would feature recreational uses, job training, and—per the solicitation—“cultural or historical reference” to the school and its neighborhood.

Mayor Muriel Bowser’s administration says it will rely on this framework as it evaluates the pitches, with the goal of greenlighting one by year’s end. Although it’s unclear when a chosen proposal would be finished—in part because any of the trio would have to undergo zoning re-

view—a DMPED spokesman says the office is looking for a “balance between preserving some of the site and the growing needs of residents.”

With the weight of D.C.’s black history and the community’s eyes on the long-derelict property, it won’t be an easy decision. The initial plans have significant differences, and a medley of groups behind them.

Because the Crummell School was designated a landmark in 2002, any redevelopment would have to go before the District’s Historic Preservation Review Board. The property would transfer to the winning team “as-is,” requiring several million dollars in restoration.

Despite these constraints, the site—and the cash flow that would result from transforming it—remains an attractive prospect. On Sept. 22, the three teams presented their proposals to residents. Adam Roberts, chair of ANC 5D, which covers Crummell, attended the session and recalls that the teams seemed interested in creating spaces for community services. They’re scheduled to discuss their plans at the ANC’s meeting next Tuesday.

“Most of our commission is especially concerned about affordable housing,” he says. “It’s not just about the number of units at 80 percent or 50 percent of [area median income]. It’s also about rising property values, taxes going up, people getting pushed out of their homes. Ivy City and Carver Langston are at the helm of that because of the rapid change in property costs.”

Parisa Norouzi, executive director of advocacy group Empower DC, believes Crummell could become Ivy City’s “heart” again. In an admittedly atypical move, her organization has teamed with W.C. Smith and City First Enterprises, among others, to redevelop it into a community center whose programs a shared land trust would direct. “It’s a mechanism for protecting the school and the outdoor space for public use in perpetuity,” she explains. Ivy City residents would sit on the trust’s board, while the community center, which Empower DC has secured a $10 million grant to refurbish, would furnish “multigenerational, multiuse space.”

facility. There would be three stories of apartments above this building’s ground floor— ranging from studios to three-bedrooms— with none renting for more than 60 percent of the area median income. A fifth would be reserved for families making under 30 percent of AMI and a tenth would be permanent supportive housing. Open space would contain a playground, a garden, and art.

“The stakes are high because we’re eager to demonstrate what real community development looks like,” says Norouzi, who’s worked with Ivy City residents since 2001. “This is part of a community that has had this vision for it for a long time.”

The Trammell Crow Company, a Dallasbased real-estate firm that’s leading a second proposal, plans a 20,000-square-foot YMCA facility in the school, wrapped by green space, a 230-unit apartment building with 14,000 square feet of retail, and a new 12,000-squarefoot Mary’s Center facility, with 88 affordable units for seniors. The western half of the site would be temporarily converted into recreational space during the first development phase. Trammell Crow has also committed $250,000 to improve a small, nearby park before constructing the mixed-use building.

Lastly, the Jarvis Company, StonebridgeCarras, and Ivy City-based wholesaler Profish have a third proposal to restore the school for an estimated $14 million, and retain its ownership with the District. Their concept calls for a garden and “working farm” around the

school and apartments that have townhousestyle components. On the Okie Street NE side of the residences would be a lobby, storefront space, and restaurant, each about 5,000 square feet.

The apartments would rent for market rate, but several dozen would be affordable, and they wouldn’t rise taller than the school.

Profish would operate underground to minimize its impact to residents. In conjunction with programs at the school, it could provide workforce training.

“We were concerned that if you turned [the school itself] over to anyone but the city, you could go a few years down the road and it would be vacant again,” says N. William Jarvis, managing principal of the firm. “We’re trying to blend as many worlds as we can.”

The African-American students Crummell once served have departed from its hallways.

But after years of decay, the school could finally have a purpose again. For now, DMPED is mum about how it’s leaning as officials weigh the proposals. And even after a development team has been selected, their plans could change during zoning and preservation reviews. Ultimately, the decision may come down to the most sustainable proposal.

Or politics. Norouzi says she hopes the community’s involvement will serve as a check on other outside considerations. “[Having] input is great, but if it doesn’t influence the outcome—or isn’t directly tied to the outcome—that’s where the disappointment comes in.”

It would be fair to say Malcolm X wouldn’t be encouraged by what went down at his namesake school this week. Teachers at Malcolm X Elementary School had reason to feel uncomfortable after their school appeared last week in a City Paper report on departing D.C. public schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson’s record of investing in struggling schools, including theirs.

But they might not have expected the reaction by their principal, Zara Berry-Young, who reportedly threatened to cut out the “cancer” and flush out the “snake” who provided observations about disparity in funding, neglect, and other issues for the story.

According to a staff member present at a weekly all-staff meeting on Monday, BerryYoung recounted an unannounced visit to the school by City Paper on Sept. 28, and accused someone of sneaking off to talk to a reporter about substandard conditions at the school.

Berry-Young was angry, characterizing the information shared as hurtful to the Malcolm X “family” and a “betrayal.”

Most startling, the staffer says, was when Berry-Young told her staff that she intended to identify the “snake” and show them to the door, and would do so with support from her boss Tracy Ocasio, instructional superintendent for Malcolm X. “What are you going to do about it?” Ocasio asked Berry-Young about the so-called “cancer,” according to the staffer.

Communications with the media, particularly anonymous ones, are a fact of life where city employees are concerned, says Elizabeth Davis, president of the Washington Teachers Union. “If a principal is making threats against teachers, then we need to know about it,” says Davis, emphasizing that anonymity also goes hand-in-hand with communications between teachers and union representatives. “They are on the front lines, and we cannot allow principals to silence teachers who speak out or report conditions or inequities that could be harmful to children.”

In 2012, Henderson pledged to improve student proficiency on standardized test scores by 40 percentage points in the 40 lowest performing DCPS schools, including Malcolm X, by the end of this school year. School performance and funding data shows that not only did Henderson never get close to that goal, she

failed to thoroughly or equitably commit the resources necessary to meet it. Current and former teachers at Malcolm X, where 88 percent of students are at risk of academic failure, describe inadequate instructional facilities, leaky ceilings, second-rate furniture and computer equipment, and a lack of behavioral and emotional support for its students.

Such conditions, they say, are manifested in just 5 percent of students being able to meet or exceed expectations in English/ language arts, and just 1 percent in math, on a recent standardized test. “They are trapped in a school system not adequately prepared to deal with these conditions,” a teacher was quoted in the story as saying of the special needs of low-income students who attend Malcolm X. (Neither Berry-Young nor DCPS officials have disputed facts or denied the veracity of observations reported in the story.)

Former Wilson High School teacher and school reform activist Erich Martel says he’s not surprised that Berry-Young threatened to identify and punish staff who spoke anonymously. He has had similar experiences.

“The more scams a system hides, the greater the abusive relationship between supervisors and staff,” he says, noting the first rule of a bureaucracy: Keep all problems at the lowest possible level. “When the media reports a problem, then it goes right to the top. Then the [chancellor] jumps on the [instructional superintendent], who jumps on the principal.”

DCPS spokeswoman Michelle Lerner says officials understand that employees talk to the media, even though DCPS asks them to refer press contacts to her office. She denies that there are consequences for employees who choose not to go that route. In an email late Tuesday, she writes: “D.C. Public Schools does not prohibit staff from talking to members of the press. D.C. Public Schools has a communications office to support schools and staff in working with reporters.”

AonA Jefferson, presIdent of the Council of School Officers, the principals’ union, says that employees are supposed to go through the chancellor’s office before speaking with the press. “Even though there is free speech, there are some things that need to be approved,” she says, referring to school policies or information related to students. “If a

Darrow Montgomery

BOB SCHNEIDER W/ BONNIE BISHOP

person speaks and they do so out of turn, then there may be progressive discipline.”

Should the person who speaks “out of turn” and gets punished be a principal, Jefferson says, then CSO’s role is to support its member. Threats by her members to their staff are a labor relations issue, she says, noting that there is nothing in the principals’ bargaining agreement that governs the matter. “There are guidelines and protocols in all schools.”

Events at Malcolm X this week are bound to make teachers and principals alike uneasy.

Peter Scheer, a lawyer, journalist, and executive director of the San Francisco-based First Amendment Coalition, says government agencies are not barred under the First Amendment from conducting internal investigations to discover the source of leaks, but he cautions that non-First Amendment protections may apply if they try to fire an employee who speaks without prior approval. In California, Scheer says, labor unions are a powerful force to be reckoned with.

“If all the employee is doing is making factual observations or reasonably founded assertions, then it becomes less problematic, and harder for the government agency to justify getting exercised about it,” Scheer says. “They don’t want to send a message to employees that they can’t comment factually on non-sensitive information to a reporter without placing their job in jeopardy.”

Says a former Malcolm X teacher, “I don’t see anything wrong. I see facts. People get upset at the problem, at avoiding the problem.”

The Most Important Question In Local Sports

By Matt Terl Let’s get the snark out of the way first: If we’re being generous, Papa John’s pizza is just passable in a pinch. It’s not going to show up over in Young & Hungry or replace 2 Amys or Pete’s in anyone’s going-out rotation. It’s functional—something to have delivered when you’ve had too many beers watching football and can’t muster the energy to cook for the kids.

Which is all the more reason to never, ever pay full price for it. And that’s what makes Ben Packard something of a small-scale American hero. Packard, 36, is a project manager and iOS developer living in Prince George’s County, and he is solely responsible for the invaluable website ispizzahalfprice.com, as well as its associated Twitter account (@HalfPricePizza) and app.

All the products do exactly one thing: They tell you if one of the local sports teams has triggered their half-price promotion with Papa John’s, and what code to use if so. That’s it.

It’s a simple, useful site, with a surprisingly macabre origin.

“After the Nats won the NL East in 2012, the Papa John’s promo was bumped from five runs required to seven runs required,” Packard explains. That triggered his interest. “This is just the kind of minor inconvenience programmers love to provide an over-engineered and sarcastic solution for. On April 8, 2013, Margaret Thatcher died. One of the links doing the rounds on UK Twitter was the somewhat dark IsThatcherDeadYet.co.uk. That site is still up, and I think the inspiration is pretty clear.”

Packard launched his site, and realized he had a modest hit on his hands. “It was immediately obvious that this dumb website was going to be much more successful than any project I had actually tried to put some real time or effort into,” Packard says, “so adding the iOS app for push notifications and the automated Twitter account were irresistible.”

The site has grown a bit, now racking up a few hundred hits each day and sending out push notices to more than 2,000 devices via app. The actual mechanics are straightforward and largely automated (scores are pulled from online sources, except for football scores, which Packard never got around to automat-

ing and now enters by hand), but he has continued adding bells and whistles to the site— graphics, additional teams, and so on.

“I kind of feel like the more gaudy and fancy the thing gets, the funnier it becomes,” Packard says. “Though of course I take my solemn responsibility to D.C.’s lovers of mediocre but affordable pizza extremely seriously.”

Packard came to the U.S. from England in 2009 and acclimated quickly to the sports teams in his new environment, rooting first for the Nats and bringing the other area teams steadily into his life. “As a lifelong fan of the England national soccer team, it was very easy to fall into the standard love/hate relationship with the D.C. pro football team,” he says.

(According to his site, that’s where the football promo comes from, too—the controversial name is conspicuously absent, a decision Packard attributes to “two parts liberal sanctimony and one part fear of a Snyder lawsuit.”)

It’s tough to determine whether the site is having any notable effect on pizza sales, but at least one local team says it has definitely raised awareness about their existence: the DC Breeze, our very own professional Ultimate Disc team (and likely subject of a future column). The Breeze logo is the obvious outlier on Packard’s site, in there among the much more familiar bald eagles and curly Ws. Don Grage, managing partner of DC Breeze, is the guy responsible for alerting Packard to the team’s participation in a pizza promo. It’s a deal that has probably worked out better than he expected. Grage tells of seeing tweets tying knowledge of the Breeze to the pizza site, and, he says, “We’ve had people mention to our staff in person at games that they heard about us through the half-price pizza app or Twitter feed.”

Packard keeps the site focused. It’s just the Papa John’s promos—no chicken, no burritos, no donuts. “I suppose I could check whether IsPizzaHalfPriceOrChickenSandwichesOrNuggetsFreeAtTheseOtherPlaces.com is available,” he says. “But for the main site, I like to keep it clean and simple. This is D.C. Important people have important work to do and important pizza to eat.”

Well, “pizza,” anyway. But at half price, maybe that’s good enough.

The

Potanist Dear Potanist: I am a 34-year-old female who loves getting stoned, but only in the privacy of my home. At home I feel completely calm and relaxed. With good weed, I have amazing body highs and just bliss out for hours. The problems and discomfort arise when I am high around other people. I always become paranoid in social situations. When sober, I am completely at ease in social settings. Why does cannabis make me feel like people are talking about me behind my back and plotting bizarre conspiracies? —Stoned Alone Dear Stoned Alone: Weed paranoia will not destroy you, but it can be a buzzkill. It is very common for cannabis users to experience a sense of paranoia. Most everyone comes to the immediate conclusion that, because it only happens when they’re stoned, it’s the weed that’s causing it. I credit cannabis with many mysterious properties, but it’s not the weed that makes people imagine that their friends have turned against them and that the DEA is outside ready to storm the building.

These insecurities are present before the cannabis enters the equation. When sober, we can readily block and repress these uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. When high, our normal suppression process is interrupted and our stored fears and anxieties tend to come flooding into our psyches. Cannabis does not cause paranoia, it just reveals it.

effects that different strains may have on your anxiety. Certain strains that are lower in THC and/or high in CBD will generally not trigger paranoia. Sativas can have a racier effect on your brain while Indicas tend to deliver a more sedative high.

If all else fails, stick with a glass of wine in social settings and blaze when you get home.

—The Potanist Dear Potanist: This is my first summer growing marijuana outside, and the growing process has been quite smooth with the exception that recently the alley behind my house is getting a rather strong smell. I’m starting to freak out about these plants. Is there any way to make the smell less potent? What happens if you pull the plants early? Should I add security lights?

—Paranoid Pot Sniffer Dear Paranoid Pot Sniffer: Regarding the smell, we hope your plants are in containers.

You could try moving the plants closer to your place and away from the alley, but if we’re going to be honest with you, there’s not much more you can do at this point. Burning some incense or sage may help keep away the evil spirits, but the pot smell will come through just about anything you try to use to cover it up.

Pulling the plants early will ruin your weed.

We recommend you try to hold off for a few more weeks until the plants are done and you

Next time this happens, don’t run away from it. Face your demons. When used in the proper setting and dosage, cannabis can be a great tool for self-evaluation and introspection. Take the opportunity presented in your altered state of consciousness to acknowledge and confront your insecurities. Most of these things do not serve us and, if unreleased, become the roots of all types of “dis-ease.” Cannabis can help recognize and release all sorts of unwanted baggage.

While we all naturally have different levels of anxiety, new users are more prone to experience episodes of discomfort and paranoia. If that’s the case, try adjusting your dosage. Start small and work your way up as you gain confidence. If that’s not effective, then try a different strain.

Another alternative is to try observing the

Peace of mind equals premium herbs.

A good rule for outdoor D.C. growers is always to use containers for your plants. You may need to move them due to unforeseen rain, early frost, pests, or curious passersby, and digging them out after the plants are developed would ruin the plants. Don’t give up!

Most growers make these types of mistakes for the first few years. We certainly made our fair share in our early days.

Gear Prudence

Cl Jo Si Da

Gear Prudence: I don’t have a lot of extra money in my budget. But I’ve recently scraped together $100 and I want to spend it on my bike. Since it’s probably the last time I’ll be able to spend any money on bike stuff for a couple of months, what purchases are going to give me the best bang for my buck?

—Scoured Pennies Leave Utilitarian Readily Grasping Embetterment Dear SPLURGE: One of the truly amazing things about using a bicycle to get around is how remarkably little you need to spend to keep yourself moving. There’s no recurring payment, it doesn’t matter how much the price of a gallon of gas might fluctuate, and insurance mostly consists of ensuring that you don’t crash. Even the most beater of bikes, the one with a squeaky chain and wobbly headset, can readily, if not sturdily, convey you about town.

While not ideal, at least you know that a lack of sufficient scratch can be overcome with leg power and gumption. While the immediacy of your needs is lost in the vagueness of your question, there are a few areas where you might want to focus your spending.

The first is preventive. If your bike runs fine, don’t bother messing with upgrades. Poor Richard, turn your Benjamin into tubes and lube. One thing that’ll surely slow you down is a flat tire, and a couple of spare tubes ensure that you’ll keep riding through the misfortune of a ill-timed puncture. Plus, they’ll never expire and you’re bound to catch a flat eventually, so you might as well be prepared. Chain lube is another good investment because a well-lubed chain both functions more efficiently and clogs less. If you’re low on dough, you’ll want to keep your bike performing as optimally as possible lest you face major expenses down the road.

In the same vein, it might be a good idea to spend your money on a proper tune-up. Be mindful though that a good mechanic might discover other needs that might need addressing. This could be depressing, but forewarned is forearmed and you can plan ahead for future outlays.

Assuming your bike works great and you’re already prepared for emergencies, then your options are pretty open. A new set of tires can go a long way and last you a long time. Same with an upgraded seat. You’re probably not able to afford brand new wheels, and spending on other mechanical bits is pretty unfulfilling. And if your bike is more than adequately equipped, think lock, kit, tools, or helmet. The first rule of biking is don’t fall down, but the second rule is there’s always something else to buy. If you want to stretch your funds the most, think used. There are deals, but you have to search.

A question on your favorite topic, Dan. Just kidding, it’s a question about my vagina. I’m having a problem with the microbiome of my vulva and vagina. I’ve been going to my gyno for the last six months for recurrent bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. She shrugs, gives me a script, the symptoms go away for a week or so, then they come back. I understand the infections are likely due to an imbalance in my vaginal pH, but I don’t know what to do to fix this. I’ve used probiotic suppositories to boost the amount of lactobacillus, and these help more than anything else, but the problem remains. I also wear cotton, loose-fitting undies and practice good hygiene and never douche or use anything scented.

The problem started when I stopped using condoms with my partner, but it’s not an STI. We’ve both been tested. There’s tons of sites online talking about this problem, but no one has a solution that I’ve found. How the hell can women with this problem fix their pH?! Thanks a ton if you read this far, and thanks a million tons if you or one of your experts has any ideas to help.

—Vexed Und Lacking Vaginal Answers “I love that she used the word ‘vulva,’” says Dr. Debby Herbenick, a research scientist at Indiana University, a sexual health educator at the Kinsey Institute, and the author of Read My Lips: A Complete Guide to the Vagina and Vulva, and numerous other books. “Most people have no idea what that even is!”

I know what that is! (Full disclosure: I know what that is now. I didn’t know what that was when I started writing this column.) The vulva is (the vulva are?) the external genitalia of the female—the labia, the clit, the vaginal opening, some other bits and pieces. (Fun fact: Vulva is Latin for wrapper.) The vagina, aka “the muscular tube,” runs from the vulva to the uterus. (Fun fact: Vagina is Latin for the sheath of a sword.) People tend to use “vagina” when referring to a woman’s junk generally, and while meaning follows use and I’m inclined to give it a pass, saying “vagina” when you mean “vulva” makes scientists like Dr. Herbenick rather testy.

Dr. Herbenick recommends seeing a “true vulvovaginal health expert” (TVHE) about your problem, VULVA, and your gynecologist presumably qualifies as a TVHE, right?

“Not necessarily,” says Herbenick. “Gynecologists know far more about vaginal and vulvar health issues than most health care providers, but many gynecologists haven’t received deep-dive (pun not intended) specialized training in difficult-to-treat vulvovaginal health conditions. And if they have, it was likely when they were in med school—so years ago. They might not be up to date in the latest research, since not all doctors go to vulvovaginal-specific conferences.”

Is there a fix for that problem?

12 october 7, 2016 washingtoncitypaper.com

“Yes! If everyone lobbied for their doctors to go to events like the annual conference of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD),” says Herbenick, “we would live in a country with millions more happy, healthy, sex-interested women and others with vaginas and vulvas, too, like trans men.”

As for your particular problem—a tough case of bacterial vaginosis—Herbenick, who isn’t a medical doctor but qualifies as a TVHE, has some thoughts.

“There are many different forms of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and different kinds of yeast infections,” Herbenick says. “These different kinds respond well to different kinds of treatment, which is one reason home yeast meds don’t work well for many women. And all too often, health care providers don’t have sufficient training to make fine-tuned diagnoses and end up treating the wrong thing. But if VULVA’s recurrences are frequent, I think it’s a wise idea for her to see a true specialist.”

A TVHE is likelier to pinpoint the problem.

Even so, Herbenick warns that it may take more than one visit with a TVHE to solve the problem.

“I don’t want to over-promise, since BV remains a challenging diagnosis and often does come back at some point,” Herbenick says.

“There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to BV, which is also why I think VULVA is best off meeting with a health care provider who lives and breathes vaginal health issues. The ISSVD is full of health care providers like that— they’re the Sherlock Holmes of vaginas and vulvas, none of this ‘shrug and here’s a script’ business. VULVA can check out ISSVD.org for more information.”

—Dan Savage

Fun fact: Vulva is Latin for wrapper.

I have a question about biking and female genitalia. I’m a woman in my forties, and I love biking! My husband and I often go for long rides on the weekend. Unfortunately, this makes various parts of my crotch sore, especially the clitoris. Certain bike seats are better, but none eliminate the soreness. Two years ago, we had a baby, which not only made my crotch more prone to soreness but makes it a lot less likely that we’ll have sex ex-

cept on weekends, often after biking. The sore clit makes sex more painful, but it also increases sensitivity, so the whole thing can be an alternating experience of “Ow!” and “Wow!” Am I causing my clit any permanent damage by the biking and/ or the post-bike poking? Any suggestions for decreasing crotch soreness?

—Bike Related Injury To Clit, Help Ease Soreness

“I love biking, I love vulvas, and I love babies (mine, and I’m sure I would adore BRITCHES’s baby, too!),” says Herbenick, “so I appreciate being asked to chime in on this question. That said, there’s not a ton of research on female genital health in connection with cycling.”

There’s far more research on men and cycling, due to the risks of bike-seat-related erectile dysfunction specifically and our society’s tendency to prioritize boners generally.

“The few studies that have been conducted on women and cycling—generally cisgender women as far as I can tell—found that cutout seats are linked with a higher risk of genital symptoms, as are handlebars that are lower than the saddle,” says Herbenick. “So broader saddles and higher handlebars may be the way to go. Some of the research notes higher rates of genital symptoms among people who go on longer rides, spending hours in the saddle.”

To decrease your risk of un-fun genital symptoms, BRITCHES, Herbenick recommends mixing it up.

“Go biking some weekends and try other activities on other weekends—maybe hiking or swimming? You might also take Dan’s ‘fuck first’ Valentine’s Day advice and apply it to your weekend rides. And if you’re prone to post-intercourse semen leakage (and, really, who isn’t?) use a condom or have him come elsewhere pre-ride so you don’t have the semen seepage issue to contend with on a long ride. I hope this helps!”

—Dan YOU CAN HELP: Wherever you fall on the debate about sex work—it should be decriminalized, it shouldn’t be decriminalized—everyone agrees that women who engage in sex work shouldn’t be punished. Yet thousands of women are incarcerated for prostitution or prostitution-related crimes. The Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) has launched a pilot program to help these women. Go to swopbehindbars.org to send a book to an incarcerated sex worker (books are in great demand), become a pen pal, or donate a book to a prison library. Since everyone agrees sex workers shouldn’t be punished, everyone should be able to get behind SWOP Behind Bars. I donated a book to an incarcerated sex worker today—it was easy—and you can, too.

EXPOSURE

One photographer chronicles 30 years of life in our city.

By Darrow Montgomery

14 october 7, 2016 washingtoncitypaper.com

FiFteen years ago, when City Paper last published a retrospective of staff photographer Darrow Montgomery’s work— to commemorate his 15th anniversary at the paper—our cover description read, just over his name, “Excerpts 1986-2001.”

Heavy-hearted readers wrote in to say how tragic it was that such a talented young prodigy had died. (So maybe the type treatment was ill-considered.)

Fortunately, he had not then, nor has he yet, shuffled off this mortal coil. He’s still with us, and on the anniversary of his 30 years here, we (mostly he) have combed and culled and curated a selection of some of his most memorable work. Montgomery has quietly narrated the essential story of D.C.—not the feds, the tourists, or Congress, but the stories of the real city, the one teeming with characters, crime, and gentrification. Among other things, he knows where the wig stores used to be, the ones supplanted by J. Crew storefronts.

“He seems to tell us who we are, and if you look through the photos you get a portrait of who we are that’s not obvious, that’s below the surface,” says Jason Cherkis, a former City Paper staffer who’s now a reporter for The Huffington Post. “We know the yoga mat brigades that have invaded the city, but … he’s looking at the slow evolution of D.C. I feel like it’s sort of sacred.”

Montgomery first found his way here as an intern studying at Corcoran School of Art and worked under the tutelage of theneditor Jack Shafer, now with Politico. At one point, Shafer put the lanky young lensman on probation for casting too many shadows in his shots. It didn’t last.

And when other unsure, unshaped talents showed up, Montgomery knew a little something about how to bring them along.

“I spent the majority of my time at City Paper just scared off my ass,” says Ta-Nehisi Coates, author and national correspondent for The Atlantic who got his start here. “The thing he gave me most was courage. He’s such a soothing presence.”

Coates recalls working on a story once about a troublesome panhandler. “It was deeper than that, as all City Paper stories are, but I was like, ‘There’s no fucking way this guy’s gonna talk to me, much less let us get a picture.’ But Darrow got that picture. Darrow knew the guy was gonna be fine. I was really so new to everything.”

At no point have Montgomery’s tools been the latest and greatest, perhaps fortuitous considering how many times he’s been robbed and burgled. At one point in the 1980s, Montgomery was using a Speed Graphic camera that was 40 years old even then. He’s navigated dark rooms and the digital revolution, trampled through the woods in search of Sasquatch,

documented murders and the election of the nation’s first black president.

“Darrow … does not truck in easy stereotypes or cheap sentimentality,” says writer Eddie Dean. “He goes straight to the soul of his subjects, and his most enduring subject is the city of Washington, D.C. His photographs are a lifelong poem to the city and to its people. An assignment with Darrow was always an adventure, and he always got the goods.”

And always softly. He can calm even the tensest, most disagreeable room, make small talk with prostitutes and pimps, suits and drag queens, grandmas and skaters. “Going out on shoots with Darrow, he lowered the emotional temperature,” says Michael Schaffer, a former City Paper editor who now helms Washingtonian. “He would small talk with them, and he wasn’t asking questions. He was just working.”

As Amy Austin, City Paper publisher emeritus puts it, “He’s the guy. He’s always the guy”—the one writers want to work with, the one subjects feel easy with, the one beer lovers want to drink with. More than that, “You see a Darrow photo and you immediately think of City Paper.”

FACTS ABOUT TURBO

BREED: CHIHUAHUA/JACK RUSSELL TERRIER MIX COLOR: WHITE - WITH BROWN OR CHOCOLATE AGE: YOUNG, ~9 MONTHS SIZE: MED. 26-60 LBS (12-27 KG) SEX: MALE Turbo's Story... Turbo is an approximately 9 months old Chihuahua/ Jack Russell Terrier mix. Turbo's name describes him perfectly.

Everything he does is at lightning speed. Every once in a while, he takes a break to snuggle with his human friends. Even though he is just a little pup, he is crate trained, and nearly potty trained.

A Japanese-inspired restaurant and bar called Himitsu will open in the former Crane & Turtle space in Petworth this month.

Hog It All

Chef Kyle Bailey and a local farmer unite to keep “garbage pork” off menus. farm-to-fork, then you’re like, Ooh, it’s not really that good.’ You’re not going to want to justify paying the extra money.”

Crush says he’s had to call restaurants to ask them to buy something from the farm or take the farm’s name off the menu. “It’s been on your menu for three years, but you just bought a little honey four years ago,” he provides as an example, unwilling to name the offending restaurant for the record.

It’s an issue that was chronicled in a Tampa Bay Times series that went viral, “Farm to Fable,” by critic Laura Reiley. “There’s a tremendous amount of smoke and mirrors out there in the grocery store side of things and definitely in the restaurant industry,” Crush says. “It’s actually nauseating.”

Though D.C. has more restaurants than ever before, many of which fly the farm-to-table flag, not enough chefs are cooking with Crush’s products. “We wish we had a lot more chefs,” he says. “It’s quite frustrating right now.” It’s difficult given the prices the farmer is competing with. He describes seeing pork shoulder priced $1.35 per pound in a Maryland Wegmans.

“It costs me in kill fees and packaging fees $1.25 a pound, and that’s before my feed cost, birthing, labor, and transport,” he says.

But price isn’t the only barrier to entry, and that’s where Kyle Bailey, executive chef at Sixth Engine and former executive chef at Birch & Barley, comes in, demonstrating what can happen if farms and restaurants get creative and join forces.

Crush sells half and whole pigs to restaurants, which is more sustainable and cost effective. But it requires a chef who knows how to butcher a pig and a kitchen big enough to get the job done. Bailey knows his way around a pig and has been sourcing them from Crush for about four years. The two met at Cochon 555—a national pork competition that raises Laura Hayes

By Laura Hayes Sgt. Major iS a big player. The enormous pig with proportionally enormous balls is the male hog responsible for fathering the majority of the pigs at Spring House Farm in Lovettsville, Virginia. The property, run by farmer Andrew “Boss Hog” Crush, spans 400 acres in Loudoun County’s wine country. Goats, rabbits, chickens, cattle, and honeybees are also integral to the operation, but Spring House Farm is a true pig paradise.

Pigs there are raised on pasture land feeding on grubs, grass, and supplemental feed until they reach 100 pounds. “When they’re big enough to protect themselves from coy-

otes, we move them onto the mountain,” Crush explains. “They forage on worms, snakes, acorns, and whatever other cool stuff they can find.” The pigs eat so well on this 80acre mountain resort that it takes three days to trap them when it’s time to process them humanely and without stress.

Compare this bucolic scene to the sad existence of a “commodity pig,” or the type of pork most commonly consumed after a trip to the grocery store. Since there’s a thing called YouTube, there’s no need to go into the Upton Sinclarian details, but Crush explains commodity pigs live in confinement above grates and feed on modified corn and soybeans. Sometimes they’re pumped full

of antibiotics.

When it comes to consumption, you can taste the difference because pork absorbs more flavor than any other meat. That flavor comes from where the pig lived and what it ate, much like a wine’s terroir. Crush says most consumers don’t think pork has much flavor because they’ve only tasted the commodity kind.

Worse yet, sometimes restaurants pass off commodity pork as responsibly raised pork that came from a family farm like Spring House. Fibbing about farm-to-table endangers people like Crush. “That is a big concern to us because if they’re giving you a commodity-style product and they’re telling you it’s

awareness about heritage breed pigs.

After Crush approached Bailey to relay that things were “getting a little dicey” at the farm, Bailey graduated from Spring House customer to confidant and advocate. “This guy is doing what we all said we wanted, what all the chefs and consumers say they want—local, heritage breed stuff,” Bailey says. “This guy’s doing it, but nobody’s buying it, even though everyone’s banging that drum so hard.”

In short, Bailey is becoming a pro bono pig broker. “I want to be the intermediary,” he says. “I really like pork. This is supporting our local infrastructure, our farmers. No farms, no food.”

Not only is he telling his chef brethren about the quality of the farm’s products, but he’s also breaking down pigs and distributing the prime cuts to restaurants that don’t have adequate space. Even more critically, Bailey is educating industry colleagues about how to butcher a pig and make a major return on the investment. If used to its full potential, a $1,000 pig could pull in $5,000 in sales, according to Crush.

Sixth Engine is a study on how to use the whole animal: The loins make it straight onto the dinner menu, the bones are used for stock, the skin is used for pork rinds, and the head becomes coppa di testa (head cheese).

Bailey devils the hearts and tosses them on the grill for an “awesome little treat,” and he’s saving the kidneys for a winter kidney and steak pie.

“It’s one thing to show them how to break it down,” Crush says. “It’s more important to show them how to make money off of it— that’s where these guys who are seasoned can help.”

Bailey’s not the only “pig broker” helping Crush spread the good gospel of whole animal butchery. Chef Mike Haney, who worked with Bailey at Birch & Barley, also helps on a pro bono basis, while Crush pays a Baltimore-based butcher, Marc Pauvert, for similar services.

“Whole animal butchery is something that’s easy to get started with as long as you have someone to teach you,” says Haney, who currently cooks at All Purpose. “There’s no reason tons of restaurants shouldn’t be jumping on board.”

Bailey says response has been good so far. “Ed Scarpone [of DBGB Kitchen + Bar] is going to buy whole pigs, and Danny Lee from Mandu says he’ll do what he can.” Bailey also rattles off names like Chef Matt Baker of the forthcoming restaurant Gravitas and Chef Andrew Markert from Beuchert’s Saloon.

“I’d like to do it when I can,” Markert says.

“The size of the restaurant doesn’t always allow for that. If we do it, we would get half an-

imals. It’s such a cool experience to throw a whole animal around on a cutting board and turn it into something in an hour.”

Bailey makes helping Crush a priority even though he’s also gearing up to open The Salt Line at Dock 79 with Long Shot Hospitality.

“I barely have time to do this, but I feel really strongly about it,” he says. “I want to help Andrew out.” He continues, “If this farm closed, I’d be like, ‘Fuck, we failed, we all failed and now we have garbage pork, and bad food wins.’”

Bad food will continue to win if restaurants (and consumers) don’t give farms more credit.

“When you go into a restaurant and you have a good meal or a memorable meal, you associate that with the kitchen, but there are a lot of factors involved,” Crush explains.

Say you’re tearing into the pork loin dish at Sixth Engine. “From when we decided to breed that mom to when you got the food was about a year and a half,” Crush says. “A tremendous amount of time and effort went into getting that product to the chef who probably only had it for a week. People forget there is another factor that goes into producing that delicious meal.”

At the same time, Crush wants people to know he isn’t looking for pity. “I don’t want you to buy from me because you think it’s cool or you want to help support my family—I want you to buy from me because it’s damn good,” he says, suggesting the “buy local” movement will be supplanted with a more permanent “buy better” movement.

There are two opportunities to try Spring House Farm products other than on Sixth Engine’s menu. The first is the farm’s CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture)program. Though currently mid-cycle, people can still sign up and receive pro-rated pricing. Three sizes are offered and there’s a pick-up location in D.C. at Primal Fitness (219 M Street NW). Each pack could contain beef, pork, lamb, goat, chicken, and honey— all from the farm.

Second, some of the chefs Bailey and Crush are courting to become more involved in whole animal butchery will be participating in an Oct. 16 event called “Pigstarter” at Sixth Engine. Participants, including Thip Khao’s Seng Luangrath, Momofuku CCDC’s Pat Curran, and Bar Pilar’s Jesse Miller, will be assigned a part of a pig to transform into a memorable dish for the public to taste. Tickets are $75 and beverages will be provided by 3 Stars Brewing Company, One Eight Distilling, and Wild Hare.

Crush will be at the “One Pig, One Farm, One Awesome Party” answering questions.

Unless you’ve done nothing but follow election coverage over the past six months, you know The Wharf in Southwest is going to be a beast of a food destination. Titans of District dining have planted their flags, hoping to open in 2017 or 2018. But with more than 2,000 seats already planned, restaurants will be competing for your attention. Here’s what to expect to date:

UnderServed The best cocktail you’re not ordering

What: Piece de Resistance, with Maui Pineapple Rum, Cocchi Americano, white cranberry juice, clarified lemon juice, house-made grenadine, and water Where: McClellan’s Retreat, 2031 Florida Avenue NW, (202) 265-6270 Price: $11 What You Should Be Drinking: Bar manager Brian Nixon thinks his Cosmopolitan-inspired drink tastes better without a chill, but it turns out room temperature cocktails date back to the late 1800s when ice was a rare commodity. They’ve recently made a comeback in several cities, but D.C. has yet to catch on to the tepid tipple trend. For the Piece de Resistance, Nixon adds agar agar (an algae by-product) to lemon juice and strains it before combining the clarified juice with Maui Pineapple Rum, Cocchi Americano, white cranberry juice, grenadine, and water (to replace the dilution ice provides). It’s served up in a coupe glass with a lemon peel. “We try not to limit ourselves when it comes to drinks,” Nixon says.

Why You Should Be Drinking It: Just as serving white wine too cold dulls its aromas and flavors, chilling cocktails can mask their ingredients. The pineapple rum (cleaner and less cloying than other brands, Nixon says) stays front and center, and because the clarified lemon juice is pulp-free, the drink doesn’t end up frothy after its shaken. The result is boozy yet balanced, with juicy fruit tempered by vermouth. While it could technically be batched, Nixon prefers to prepare it à la minute to preserve the fresh citrus taste. And if that important phone call beckons—this drink won’t turn warm.

Just Like Heaven

Round House Theatre and the Olney Theatre Center team up to bring a larger-than-life production of a modern classic to the stage—and pull it off with flying colors.

Angels in America Part I: Millennium Approaches

By Tony Kushner Directed by Jason Loewith

Angels in America, Part II: Perestroika

By Tony Kushner Directed by Ryan Rilette At Round House Theatre through Oct. 30

By Chris Klimek Can you spare seven irreplaceable hours of your life, travel to and from Bethesda not included, for Angels in America—Tony Kushner’s bifurcated-and-unequal, maddening-but-nourishing, unfathomable-and-illuminating, Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning “gay fantasia on national themes”?

You could be forgiven for some reluctance. Seven hours is enough temporal real estate to catch more than half a season of Luke Cage. Mike Nichols’ Emmy-winning HBO miniseries Angels in America, adapted by Kushner himself, is easily available. It’s widely accepted as a triumph, one of a tiny number of plays converted from spittle into light with no loss, and streamlined by an hour. Yet if you’re the sort of person for whom the phrase “the magic of the theatre” has even the slimmest potential to evoke something other than an eye-roll, you’ll find Olney Theatre Center and Round House Theatre’s supersized joint revival an investment that pays off, well, big. Even were it not so powerfully performed by seven of D.C.’s best actors (no offense to Jonathan Bock, the only member of the cast who doesn’t perform here regularly), the opportunity to wrestle with the Angels, anew or for the first time, would be heavensent. As it were.

And wrestle with this diptych you must. While a quarter-century of fitful but real advancement in antiretroviral drugs and LGBTQ rights has dulled its urgency just a little, Angels in America now has the kind of cultural footprint that makes a pure experience of it, unmarred by expectation, almost impossible.

Premiering in San Francisco in 1991 and dominating Broadway in 1993-4, it was the last specimen of theatre to penetrate the national conversation until Hamilton came along. The degree to which it was embraced seems miraculous even now.

It has no rhymes or melodies to help its ideas go down, and those ideas are not easily summarized. Nor does it have easyto-root-for heroes. The only ambitious, legacy-minded American in it is Roy Cohn, the ruthless assistant to Joseph McCa-

rthy (and attorney/mentor to Donald Trump) who lived long enough after being diagnosed with what he publicly insisted was “liver cancer” to see himself disbarred and disgraced before his death in 1986.

And he’s not even the most unlikeable character! That would be the comically misnamed Louis Ironson (Bock), the hyperarticulate but spineless Kushner stand-in who leaves his lover, Prior Walter (Tom Story), once Prior gets sick. Stirred in among the human mess of relationships shattering and re-binding in an AIDS-ravaged New York circa 1985-6 are scenes addressing Mormonism, Bolshevism, and procedures in the celestial parliament that I won’t pretend to understand. But I will lean in for them on the next production, and the next and the next.

Kushner’s magnum opus was last produced locally seven

theater

years ago, when Forum Theatre presented both parts in a skeletal format. This time, we get to see the angel (Dawn Ursula) fly. James Kronzer’s imposing set looks like a Gothic warehouse or infernal train depot, its wall of arched windowpanes doubling as display surfaces for Clint Allen’s video projections.

These transport us from Manhattan to Antarctica to Heaven, and—coupled with Joshua Horvath’s menacing soundbed— help make the angel fearsome even though Ursula’s flight rig remains plainly visible. (Kushner endorses this seams-exposed approach in a script note.)

Anyway, Angels’ enormity has always come from its scope, not its spectacle. Jason Loewith, Olney’s artistic director, helmed the more oft-staged Millennium, while Round House leader Ryan Rillette directed the messier (and even longer) Perestroika. One benefit of the merger is that the production could afford a luxurious two months of rehearsals before performances of Millennium began. (Perestroika opened three weeks lat-

er; both are now running in rep.) Nearly all these actors have worked together before, but they have never felt like a more persuasive ensemble than they do here. In the rare instances they’re all on stage together, a charge ripples through the room.

Each plays multiple roles, and each has a distinct arc of suffering, discovery, and mercy to sell. They are, to a one, sublime.

Square-jawed and upright, Thomas Keegan is a superb choice for Joe, the Mormon court clerk whom Cohn tries to groom as his sleeper agent within the Reagan Administration’s Justice Department. Joe gradually awakens to and accepts his gayness, while Cohn withers away still furiously denying his own. Kimberly Gilbert is heartbreaking as Harper, Joe’s spiraling, valium-addicted wife, who struggles to understand the gulf of intimacy between them. (That Keegan and Gilbert played a very different sort of troubled couple in Woolly Mammoth’s Women Laughing Alone with Salad only a year ago is a sort of Easter Egg for #DCtheatre nerds. But this isn’t even the first Pulitzer winner that Gilbert, Ursula, and the great Mitchell Hebert have performed together. They were all in the second-ever production of Bruce Norris’ Clybourne Park in 2010.)

As Cohn, Hebert captures all the man’s facets—bully, coward, and victim, to cite the AIDS quilt patch Kushner recalls seeing with Cohn’s name on it as he was writing. (This anecdote comes from the fascinating oral history of the play that Isaac Butler and Dan Kois published on Slate in June; its booklength expansion is due in 2018.) Hebert sometimes seems to be mimicking Al Pacino’s inflections more than Cohn’s—a curious inspiration, as Pacino played the part in the HBO series.

Sarah Marshall does noble service as Joe’s mother, who flies from Salt Lake City to Manhattan to try to find out why he’s left his wife, and as the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg, the convicted-but-possibly-innocent Soviet spy whom Cohn, as a 24-yearold prosecutor, saw to it was executed for treason along with her husband.

After Cohn, the biggest personality in the play is Belize, an African-American night nurse and former drag queen who shows the dying man kindness despite his incessant abuse.

(He’s also forced to parley with him once he obtains a rare and precious life-extending stash of AZT in what might be his final act of blackmail.) Jon Hudson Odom, an actor who has propelled himself to the first rank after a comparatively small number of D.C. performances, is secure in his known abilities here.

Despite a few fun interludes as Mr. Lies, a flamboyantly pimpstyled “travel agent” who appears in Harper’s hallucinations, there’s nothing as outwardly arduous as, say, his recent leading role in Woolly’s An Octoroon. That show required him to inhabit two separate characters having a fistfight with one another— and to play the playwright, too. This one merely requires him to be the rock everyone else leans on.

In 1990, panicking that the play San Francisco’s Eureka Theatre had commissioned from him was swelling beyond his control, Kushner appealed to artistic director Oskar Eustis. “I can’t get these people to change fast enough!” he said. That’s when what was supposed to be one play not to exceed two hours became two plays, both exceeding three.

It’s a commitment. But faith shall be rewarded, as it goes.

Film

Living on a Scare

From the latest in international horror to debut films from fresh, new talent, the Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival remains one of the genre’s best.

Sadako vs. Kayako

Bad Blood: The Movie

If you like your horror extra splatter-y, you’ll probably get a kick out of Bad Blood, which manages to make a werewolf story feel relatively fresh by swapping in a were-frog. In her feature debut, Mary Malloy stars as Victoria, a college student who becomes infected with a disease that turns her into a bloodthirsty frog monster every time the moon is full. Fortunately, there’s an antidote that can stave off the transformation for a month at a time; unfortunately, her stepdad concludes she must be hooked on drugs and destroys her only vial, sparking a mad dash to secure another dose before she transforms and starts ripping people to shreds again.

Bad Blood exists in a strange state of limbo; it’s not quite scary or funny enough to be described as a horror-comedy, and there are

flourishes—like an oddball private investigator who routinely slips into fantasies about beating his clients to death—that feel like they belong to a totally different movie. But at a slender 81 minutes, Bad Blood certainly doesn’t overstay its welcome, and the above-average creature effects are enough to make this feel like a long-lost installment of Tales From the Crypt.

Sadako vs. Kayako

28 october 7, 2016 washingtoncitypaper.com

tion of crossovers like Freddy vs. Jason and Alien vs. Predator comes Sadako vs. Kayako, which pits the creepy ghost from The Ring (star of 14 movies and counting) against the creepy ghost from Ju-On: The Grudge (with a mere 12 movies under her belt). Unfortunately—like pretty much every other horror crossover—the idea is promising in concept, but underwhelming in execution.

Though the title of Sadako vs. Kayako builds expectations for a battle between two of the most iconic characters from the J-Horror boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Sadako vs. Kayako actually keeps the titular ghosts split up for the vast majority of its runtime. Instead, we spend most of the movie following a few dull human protagonists: two friends who watch Sadako’s infamous cursed videotape, and a young school-

girl who wanders into a house haunted by Kayako.

When the dual narratives finally cross paths near the end of the movie, Sadako vs. Kayako makes good on its title, as the would-be victims of The Ring and Ju-On curses use themselves as bait to draw the two ghosts into the same room.

The resulting standoff isn’t exactly scary—nothing in Sadako vs. Kayako is—but it does, at last, deliver the campy fun the rest of the movie is lacking.

Creepy

Director Kiyoshi Kurosawa hearkens back to the hypnotic, skin-crawling tension of his 1997 masterpiece Cure with Creepy, a horror-

CPArts thriller that fully earns its title by the time the credits roll.

After a violent standoff with a psychopath, police detective Takakura retires from the force and attempts to start a new life as a criminology professor—even moving into a new house in a clear effort to leave the past behind. But at the behest of an old colleague, Takakura can’t resist getting drawn into one last unsolved mystery: the inexplicable disappearance of a mother, father, and son, leaving their daughter behind. Meanwhile, Takakura’s wife Yasuko endures a series of strange conversations with their new neighbor Nishino, who haphazardly seesaws between being both discomfortingly aloof and friendly. It’s never quite clear how, or even if, all these unnerving stories will end up fitting together—but by the time Creepy reaches its shattering ending, you’ll be shivering right along with it.

Creepy is unusually long (145 minutes) and languorously paced, but it rewards patient viewership with a series of twists, expertly withheld until the maximum point of impact. This is a film that successfully balances its pulpier genre trappings with a haunting meditation on the nature of 21st century relationships—with our neighbors, our friends, our spouses, and ourselves—and dares us to interrogate what we find.

Neither Heaven Nor Earth is not a horror film in the traditional sense. There are no monsters, zombies, or gore. Director Clément Cogitore does not rely on “gotcha” scares, and instead aims to provoke a growing sense of unease. He succeeds, thanks to a deft ability to mix gritty realism with allegory.

Captain Antarès Bonassieu serves in Afghanistan as part of the French army, and he commands quiet authority over his men. Tedium fills their days, at least until there are sudden bursts of gunfire. On a routine mission, a strange thing happens: two of the Captain’s men disappear, without a trace or explanation.

The men go through the motions of a search, maintaining order, at least until another two soldiers also disappear. The Captain wants to preserve discipline, but anxiety and superstition get in the way.

If Neither Heaven Nor Earth has an equivalent from the United States, then it would be the HBO series The Leftovers. Both use a fantastical disappearance as an opportunity to explore darker, more resonant themes. While The Leftovers is explicitly about modern life and the need to grieve, then Cogitore’s debut is about

the effects of war. Take your pick for what disappearances symbolize, whether it’s the eroding morality of the occupation or PTSD. This is a film that does not bother with easy answers or cheap thrills. It demands a lot of its audience—the style is elliptical, shot to look like a Kafkaesque nightmare—and the only payoff is disquiet. But for patient audiences who do not think in strict genre terms, there is plenty here that’ll creep you out.

—Alan Zilberman Screens Friday, Oct. 7 at 7:15 p.m. at the AFI Silver Theater.

Another Evil

The horror-comedy Another Evil is so slight and bizarre that it’s easy to miss what director Carson D. Mell accomplishes. Neither the comedy nor the horror are obvious, since the premise relies on increasingly bizarre behavior.

The cast is full of character actors who are recognizable as “that guy from that show,” which helps add credibility to the low-key pace. Dan (Steve Zissis, Togetherness) is a painter who discovers that his vacation home is haunted. After sending home his family until the house is properly exorcised, Dan hires the ghost hunter Joey (Dan Bakkedah, Veep). Joey does not impress, exactly, since he dismisses the ghosts as benign, so Dan hires Os (Mark Proksch, The Office) for a second opinion.

Os is a wonderful comic invention. He seems competent at his job, with a mix of folksy wisdom and pseudoscience to back him up, but he’s also an awkward creep who uses ghost hunting to force a friendship between him and Dan. The comic payoff can be awkward, like a spooky episode of The Office, but more often the jokes bubble upward as actors deadpan over-the-top dialogue. There is an amazing sustained monologue where Os describes his sexual fantasies, and his sincerity is what makes the language all the more crazed and hilarious.

Hardcore horror fans needn’t worry that Another Evil comes with scares, too. Mell opts for jump scares, which are funny as well since his creature design is surreal in kind of a goofy way. This is a comedy where no scene goes for the immediate payoff, and you’re never quite sure whether you’ll laugh or cover your eyes in terror. Such a balance requires nerve, as well as a delicate touch, and luckily Mell has both. This film could be the announcement of a major horror filmmaker.

Club Read

D.C.’s varied book club options offer a little something for everyone.

As the weather turns colder, it’s inevitable that your desire to curl up with a good book grows stronger. But what if there’s no one to talk to about the twist at the end of the thriller you just finished, or the minute details of the political biography you’re slogging through?

D.C. residents have it easy, with an immense number of book clubs and discussion groups that offer them the chance to discuss the written word, in all its varieties, with strangers of a similar mind. Whether you’re interested in fiction from halfway around the world or thickly bound volumes on contemporary events, there’s a group for you somewhere in the metro area.

nEon indian

Similar to taking an 88 mile-per-hour ride in a sonic DeLorean, Neon Indian’s latest release, Vega Intl. Night School, immediately transports listeners back in time. The record takes as many cues from the bubbly synth-pop and R&B of the 1980s as it does from sleazy Skinemax flicks. Neon Indian—a moniker attributed to songwriter Alan Palomo—has matured over the course of its three albums and Vega Intl. Night School is its most fully formed statement yet. It plays like the soundtrack to a never made late-night movie in the spirit of big city romps like Martin Scorsese’s After Hours or Jonathan Demme’s Something Wild. On Friday, singles “Annie” and “The Glitzy Hive” are sure to transform the 9:30 Club into a dance party from an alternate past. Warming things up are L.A.’s Classixx and Alex Frankel of New York’s Holy Ghost!, each putting their own distinct stamp on ’80s revivalism.

raE srEMMurd

In 2014, Mississippi-raised, Atlanta-based rap duo Rae Sremmurd appeared on the pop charts with tracks “No Flex Zone” and “No Type” that offered an exuberant mix of chanted, partyfriendly phrases over minimal, catchy synth rhythms. The twosome—twenty-something brothers named Slim Jimmy and Swae Lee—came up with their group moniker by reversing the spelling of their main producer Mike Will’s label, Ear Drummer Records. Will has played a crucial role in coming up with much of the crunk-meets-trap-meets-Miami bass-meets-synth-pop backing tracks for Lee’s tuneful choruses and Jimmy’s rougher-edged ones. While the pair bend words and add pop-friendly vocals, they also use lyrics to excessively lash out at women who’ve spurned them. On their recent second album, SremmLife 2, they again mix their misogyny with joyful references to getting high and drunk, while producers accompany them with a range of artfully crafted beats. There’s a bit less youthful swagger than on their debut effort, but their second album—and live show—highlights include the infectious “Black Beatles,” the bubblegum soul of “Take It or Leave It,” and the electro-pop of “Look Alive.” Rae Sremmurd performs with Lil Yachty, Eearz, Bobo Swae, and Impxt at 8 p.m. at The Fillmore, 8656 Colesville Road, Silver Spring. $36.50.

AVERY*SUNSHINE 21 RODNEY CROWELL 22 RAVEN’S NIGHT

A dealer like Virginia Dwan comes once in a lifetime. The gallerist established herself in both Los Angeles and New York at a time before bi-coastalism was cool—indeed, in the early 1960s, advances in air travel and the Interstate Highway System had only just made such a career lifestyle possible. She may be best remembered for championing land artworks that remain difficult to reach, among them Michael Heizer’s “Double Negative” (1969) and Robert Smithson’s “Spiral Jetty” (1970). Dwan created a market for works that were literally inaccessible and as if that weren’t enough, she also hosted important exhibitions of Minimalism, Neo-Dada, and Conceptual Art by a pantheon of art-historical legends. Examples of those works are now on view in a sweeping exhibition at the National Gallery of Art’s newly restored East Building. Many of those works are promised to the National Gallery, although Dwan New York City, a film about Dwan’s work as a dealer, tracks some of the work that’s hardest to find: namely two works by Walter De Maria staged in the Black Rock Desert. Burning Man has yet to surpass the creative heights Dwan made possible. The film shows at 4 p.m. at the National Gallery of Art East Building Auditorium, 4th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW. Free.

dan slatEr

After an excerpt was widely circulated, Dan Slater’s nonfiction thriller Wolf Boys: Two American Teenagers and Mexico’s Most Dangerous Drug Cartel was banned from Texas prisons.

Why? Because it contains detailed descriptions of how to smuggle drugs across the border. But that’s not the only reason it appealed to inmates. Slater tells the story of Gabriel Cardona, a handsome 15-year-old high school quarterback in Laredo, Texas who becomes caught up with the Zetas Mexican drug cartel, with heartbreaking detail. As Cardona and his friend Bart are drawn deeper and deeper into the gang, Slater also follows a Mexican-born detective living in America, Robert Garcia, tasked with investigating Cardona and his cohorts. Through Garcia’s eyes, the reader experiences the hopelessness of the war on drugs, as Cardona illustrates its all-too-human consequences. Slater, a former Wall Street Journal reporter whose first book concerned technology and dating, is already capitalizing on the book’s appeal; he recently sold the film rights of Wolf Boys to TriStar. Dan Slater reads at 7 p.m. at Politics & Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW. Free. (202) 364-1919. politics-prose.com.

“When I die, bury me in the clothes of my youth,” sings James Alex during “Art Damage,” one of the meatier tunes on A Loud Bash Of Teenage Feelings, the latest and most polished LP by Beach Slang. It’s probably not an empty request: The Philly frontman allegedly refuses to wash the raffish sports jacket he wears for every show. For a dude with less self-awareness, such a decision might seem corny or neurotic, but Alex is a grown-up punk, and every detail—the low prevalence of ballads, the density of buttons on his lapel, the overt love of The Replacements—seems rooted in authenticity in one way or another. Maybe that’s why Beach Slang can get away with a song title like “Punks In A Disco Bar:” Any threat of cliche dissipates once that ringing guitar riff gives way to the lyrics “The words I scream/ Are meaningless or holy things.” It’s the big hit on Loud Bash, and it’ll definitely raise the roof when Beach Slang plays the Black Cat. Beach Slang performs with Bleached and Hunny at 7:30 p.m. at The Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW. $16–$18. (202) 667-4490. blackcatdc.com.

sHura

Who said video killed the radio star? English singer-songwriter-producer Shura (born Alexandra Lilah Denton) debuted in 2014 with “Touch,” a slow-mo, ’80s-influenced synthpop ballad that broke through thanks to its touching (no pun intended) video of couples—gay, straight, or otherwise—kissing. The queer-friendly message of the “Touch” video was made explicit in the high concept video for the upbeat, if equally nostalgic, “What’s It Gonna Be?” that looks like The Breakfast Club if Claire liked the basket case and Andy was hot for Bender. You don’t have to be obsessed with the ‘80s to enjoy Shura’s music. Her debut album, Nothing’s Real, is full of undeniable pop gold with an irresistible energy and buoyancy. Still, an appreciation for the video stars of the MTV decade wouldn’t hurt: She’s been known to cover Fine Young Cannibals’ 1989 hit “She Drives Me Crazy” in concert, even though she was born in 1991. Shura performs at 7:30 p.m. at The Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW. $15– $18. (202) 667-4490. blackcatdc.com.

BlondE rEdHEad

For the better part of two decades, fans pining for the early stuff by angular rock trio Blonde Redhead had to settle for catching them live and hoping they felt like playing a deep cut. Now, with the release of a new 37-track boxed set called Masculin Féminin, completists will finally get their hands on Blonde Redhead’s 1995 self-titled debut album and a followup from the same year, La Mia Vita Violenta, plus b-sides and associated goodies. Sure, some of these rarities have been available via streaming services for a long time, but Blonde Redhead is a group that inspires feverish fans. Kazu Makino’s nu-gaze vocals have never sounded anything but relevant, even as rock has fared less well. On 2014’s Barragán, the group’s ninth studio album—who makes nine albums any more?—the sound by Amedeo and Simone Pace and Makino is as groovy and minimal as on 1997’s Fake Can Be Just as Good. Whether Blonde Redhead goes with the newer singles (“Dripping” from 2014) or the older stuff (“10 Feet High” from 1995), fans are set either way. Blonde Redhead performs with American Contemporary Music Ensemble at 8 p.m. at The Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW. $25. (202) 803-2899. thehowardtheatre.com.
