DISTRICTLINE 2018 in Local Politics Well, 2018 has been a trip. Despite a relatively sleepy election cycle, we saw an unlikely Council alliance, an ill-timed trip to Mexico, and perhaps the best argument for making criminals out of those pesky Metro gate jumpers. Now it’s time for LL readers to kick back and relive some of the high (and low) lights from the year.

LOOSE LIPS

Best open government martyr LL readers might remember Traci Hughes, the former director for the Office of Open Government who scolded District agencies for violating open records and open meetings laws.

As the first director for that office, Hughes blazed the trail for government transparency in the District. From 2013 until February, Hughes took on the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, the United Medical Center’s board of directors, and the appointments of administrative law judges. Most commonly, she tells City Paper, she saw agencies improperly closing meetings to the public.

But some of Hughes’ opinions apparently ruffled a few of Mayor Muriel Bowser’s feathers, according to sources familiar with the situation. In February, when Hughes’ five-year term was up, the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability, whose members are appointed by the mayor, voted not to reappoint her.

Hughes has said previously and in a more recent interview with City Paper that she believes some political pressure contributed to the board’s vote.

“All these things happened coming into an election year,” she says. “If I were mayor, and my government is being called out in some pretty public ways for noncompliance on some things that could be potentially damaging and politically embarrassing … if I were her handler I would probably advise they contain it.”

Hughes adds that she does not believe Bowser had any direct involvement in her not getting reappointed. Going forward, she believes the office, and particularly the director, needs more independence.

Most unholy alliance On one side you have Ward 2’s Jack Evans, a fiscally conservative Democrat, who hasn’t met a TIF he doesn’t like.

On the other you have At-Large Councilmember Elissa Silverman, a former analyst for the left leaning DC Fiscal Policy Institute, and arguably among the most, if not the most, progressive

member of the Council.

Rarely do the two see eye to eye.

But this year Evans and Silverman came together as the two most outspoken opponents of Ward 7 Councilmember Vince Gray’s efforts to skirt an important review process for the construction of a medical facility in Ward 8. Gray’s plan to waive the “certificate of need” to construct a hospital in Southeast D.C., as well as a new 200-bed addition at George Washington University Hospital in Foggy Bottom forged their bond.

(A certificate of need tells lawmakers and the public whether a new medical facility is in fact needed.)

Evans represents residents in Foggy Bottom, who say the area around the George Washington University Hospital campus is already too crowded and cannot accommodate another medical facility.

Silverman argued that the study of need will tell the Council exactly where and what kind of health services the District needs.

Howard University and the labor unions representing workers at the United Medical Center, which the new Ward 8 hospital will likely replace, also objected to the deal.

In the final hours of the final day for D.C. councilmembers to pass legislation this year, Gray scored a hard-fought victory that seems to have satisfied everyone—except Evans and Council chair Phil Mendelson. The final bill passed 10-2 with Evans and Mendelson as the two dissenters. It included at least some considerations for unionized workers and for Howard University College of Medicine. But the Foggy Bottom residents got nada.

Worst campaign trail proposal On the primary campaign trail this year, AtLarge Councilmember Anita Bonds came awfully close to suggesting that D.C. police officers should employ a highly controversial and racist policing tactic known as “stop-and-frisk.”

At a Ward 3 Democrats candidate forum in June, Bonds said police should be more “vigilant” on crime and in checking for illegal weapons, as City Paper contributor Cuneyt Dil reported.

“One way is to just have some random, ‘Hello, how are you doing, Mr., Ms., do you have any weapons with you?’” Bonds said to the laughter of the audience. “Seriously, seriously. Sometimes that works. And we really have to recover these guns quickly.”

Bonds later denied advocating for implementing a stop-and-frisk policy, which in

saying that those public transit miscreants who don’t pay their fair share “might as well have reached over and grabbed my wallet and tooken $2 out of it.”

Alas, it was all for naught. The bill passed 11-2, with Evans and Mendelson dissenting.

New York City was ruled a violation of citizens’ Fourteenth Amendment rights due to the disproportionate number of African-American and Latinx people that NYC police stopped.

Stop-and-frisk has been a contentious issue in the District as well, as advocates and the courts push the Metropolitan Police Department to collect data on the practice as required under D.C. law.

ACLU attorney Shana Knizhnik told City Paper in June that while Bonds’ comments don’t specifically call for a stop-and-frisk policy, the councilmember’s suggestion could be a slippery slope.

“What she described is not equivalent to stop-and-frisk, but I think what we’re concerned about is it would lead to such practices, and officers would interpret such a command from a D.C. councilmember to do more of these things,” Knizhnik said.

Best argument against decriminalizing Metro fare evasion LL has to hand it to Jack Evans. The guy sticks to his guns, even in the face of certain defeat.

When the Council debated a measure to decriminalize Metro fare evasion, Evans threw out every argument he could think of. He suggested that a report showing racial discrimination in fare evasion citations was inaccurate and dismissed racial discrimination as a compelling reason to change the law in the first place.

He quoted historian Margaret MacMillan’s description of Woodrow Wilson— “When he was convinced, as he often was of the rightness of his cause, he regarded those who disagree with him as not wrong, but evil.”

He appealed to those who do pay their fares, saying they ultimately shoulder the burden.

He said that no one has ever been arrested solely for fare evasion, arguing that the arrest only happens if an alleged fare evader does not comply with police.

And in a final plea, Evans went personal,

Best use of the nickname “Slim” in a text message to a councilmember In the run up to this year’s general election, Josh Lopez, a Bowser ally, injected himself into the at-large Council race between incumbent Councilmember Elissa Silverman and challenger Dionne Reeder. The mayor threw her support behind Reeder, who ended up losing by 12 percentage points.

In a text exchange between Lopez and Ward 8 Councilmember Trayon White, first reported in vague terms by The Post, Lopez pushes White to voice his support for Reeder.

Lopez: “Slim you going to tell your constituents to vote or nah” White: “Fuck is you talking about” Lopez: “Are you going to tell your folks to vote or keep acting like a bitch and stay silent?”

White: “Trayon White ain’t never been no bitch … where you going to be at 1:30 p?”

Lopez became a controversial figure in the local political scene this year. He was one of two Bowser appointees to the DC Housing Authority, where he lasted just three months before resigning.

Lopez stepped down from the DCHA after he organized a “unity rally” to support White after the councilmember took heat for repeating a conspiracy theory that the Rothschilds, a wealthy Jewish family, control the weather, the World Bank, and the federal government.

During the rally, Lopez held the megaphone for Nation of Islam representative Abdul Khadir Muhammad, who called Silverman a “fake Jew” and later, off mic, called Jews “termites.”

Best excuse to miss a Council vote Councilmember Trayon White was conspicuously absent for one of the most important functions of D.C. government—the preliminary budget vote.

The first-term lawmaker was looking to move past a few negative news stories about his comments regarding the Rothschild family and a donation from his constituent services fund to a Nation of Islam convention where its leader, Louis Farrakhan made anti-Semitic remarks, as The Washington Post reported in April. (White reportedly paid the money back.)

It’s perhaps understandable that White would want an escape. Throw in the fact that the freshman lawmaker was turning 34, and a spot on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, looked much more appealing. As his 12 colleagues gave initial approval for the $14.5 billion budget, White was posting videos to his Instagram Story that showed him relaxing by the water.

hired to work on the project. Reunion Square was a proposed tax increment financing project in Anacostia that would have boasted tens of thousands of square feet of retail and office space, as well as some affordable housing. White sunk that deal in November, arguing that it was too generous to the developer.

Another tax increment financed project, the redevelopment of Rhode Island Avenue NE’s Brookland Manor, passed the D.C. Council this winter. Dozens of residents and their advocates lobbied against the project, believing that it will lead to the displacement of low-income families and those with large households.

DCHA broke ground this year on Parkway Overlook, an apartment complex on Robinson Place SE long-planned for redevelopment. Once home to 1,000 low-income residents, the property fell into disrepair, with $5 million in vacant property taxes owed at one point on the complex.

And hitting back against landlords they say violated the city’s housing code, tenant associations across the city organized actions against them this year, launching rent control strikes in Brightwood Park and legal action in Deanwood, among others. Dozens of these tenants live in apartments without heat or clean water, and where mold, pests, and crumbling infrastructure are the norm.

By Morgan Baskin EvErywhErE across D.c., from Trinidad to Anacostia and Michigan Park, it’s getting more expensive to live. For the first time, the Washington Business Journal reported in October, the median sales price of a single-family home in the District topped $700,000. (It’s now north of $730,000.) Renters aren’t exactly having better luck: Though median rental prices are down slightly since 2017, it’s still about $2,160 a month to rent a one-bedroom apartment.

In the shadow of a ballooning housing market, there was a slew of high-level departures this year. Chiefs of the Office of Planning, Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, and Department of General Services—all of whom have a hand in where (and how well) people live—were asked to step down shortly after Mayor Muriel Bowser’s re-election.

Budget cuts threatened some of the District’s most vulnerable people, as well as lauded non-profit housing organizations, and Attorney General Karl Racine announced lawsuits against some of the District’s worst slumlords.

City Paper also reported on a little-known program within DCRA that helps big developers pay more to fast-track large construction projects, like an Apple store in Mount Vernon Square’s Carnegie Library, as well as the startto-finish mess that was the construction of a luxury hotel in Adams Morgan.

Below, some of the most significant pieces of news from this chaotic year. The biggest takeaway? It is very, very expensive to live in D.C. DC General At the beginning of the year, Mayor Bowser doubled down on her commitment to close DC General, the city’s largest family homeless shelter, by the end of 2018.

Smaller replacement shelters in wards 4, 7, and 8 opened a month apart from each other this fall, though the latter two were delayed after the company hired to build them bungled the job. (And residents of the Ward 4 shelter are already complaining about its quality.) Neighbors of planned homeless shelters in wards 3 and 5 continued to mount legal challenges against each of them, though construction is now underway on both. A court recently gave approval to the shelter in Ward 3, allowing the final phases of its construction to move forward. Construction is also ongoing on Ward 6’s shelter, and District officials plan on opening the three of them between the summer of 2019 and spring of 2020.

HOUSING COMPLEX

In October, Bowser finally shuttered DC General on what would have been Relisha Rudd’s 13th birthday. (Rudd was a resident of DC General when she went missing in 2014.

Law enforcement officials have not located her in the intervening years, and she was last seen at a Holiday Inn Express with a janitor who worked at the shelter.) Advocates for the homeless loudly protested Bowser’s decision to fast-track the shelter’s closure, arguing that she did so to offer valuable District land to Jeff Bezos for Amazon’s East Coast headquarters.

(The company eventually announced that it would split HQ2 between Long Island City, New York, and Crystal City, Virginia.)

DC Housing Authority The DC Court of Appeals struck down a redevelopment plan this spring for Barry Farm, the beleaguered public housing complex in Ward 8, where District officials later found traces of lead. The discovery, made during a structural audit of DCHA’s housing portfolio, was representative of more pervasive issues across the authority’s housing stock. Almost one-third of its units are nearly uninhabitable, the audit found.

DCHA will need an estimated $343 million next fiscal year to make interim repairs, and is prepar-

ing a commensurate financial ask from the city come budget season in the spring. Also this year, a member of DCHA’s board of commissioners stepped down after he organized a “unity” rally where an attendee referred to Jews as “termites.”

A seniors-only apartment complex in Ward 6, the Arthur Capper senior center, endured a mammoth fire this summer that displaced dozens of residents. Many of those seniors are living in hotels around the city until Capper is restored.

The American Civil Liberties Union of D.C. filed a lawsuit against DCHA this year after security guards of a DCHA property allegedly violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Filed in U.S. District Court on Aug. 30, the lawsuit alleges that a “profoundly deaf ” tenant of Ward 2’s Claridge Towers, who experienced difficulty breathing, was unable to access health services in a timely fashion.

Affordable housing developments Ward 8 Councilmember Trayon White held demonstrations against the construction of two housing developments in his ward—Maple View Flats and Reunion Square. White protested the construction of Maple View Flats, alleging that the developer, Tim Chapman, lied about how many Ward 8 residents he

Legislative news A controversial move to limit how frequently homeowners list their spaces on Airbnb passed the D.C. Council, even after the District’s chief financial officer estimated that the city could lose $21 million annually in hotel tax revenue.

The Council also introduced a bill to seal eviction records, and passed separate measures to make ownership of limited liability companies more transparent, make the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act more restrictive, and help curb rent concessions scams. The Bowser administration finally published regulations to implement the District Opportunity to Purchase Act, which will allow the city to buy apartment buildings, ostensibly providing another opportunity to keep rental units affordable.

The D.C. Council also weighed how to legislate around eviction reforms, after the U.S. Marshals Service told City Paper in April that it would change its enforcement of evictions. USMS no longer mandates that landlords move former tenants’ belongings onto the street, making evictions in D.C. more like those in other major metropolitan areas.

Former Councilmember Kathy Patterson, now D.C.’s auditor, released multiple reports this year criticizing the District’s efforts to preserve and create affordable housing. Those include audits skeptical of the efficacy of an affordable housing “trust fund” within the Department of Housing and Community Development, as well as an audit criticizing DCRA’s ability to effectively oversee the abatement of housing code violations.

turnaround from last place to qualifying for the MLS playoffs. “No one was talking about us, and now everyone can’t stop talking about us,” said midfielder Paul Arriola. “It’s a good feeling to be able to win and I think the work that we have put in has paid off. But we’re not done yet.”

The team would lose a little over a week later in penalty kicks to the Columbus Crew in the knockout round of the MLS Cup Playoffs in front of a sold-out crowd at Audi Field.

By Kelyn Soong

March 15: As expected, free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins, who broke several records while in D.C. and went viral for screaming, “You like that!” at a television camera, signed with the Minnesota Vikings. He agreed to a three-year contract worth about $84 million.

April 27: The Wizards’ caustic season mercifully concluded with a six-game loss to the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. (As a reminder of the tension level, John Wall publicly called out his teammates and the front office a day after the loss.)

June 7: Mark this day on your calendars. The Washington Capitals beat the Vegas Golden Knights, 4-3, in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals, to finally end the 26-year D.C. sports championship drought in the four major leagues. Thousands of fans witnessed the victory at the watch party at Capital One Arena, and wiped away tears before swarming downtown D.C. in celebration.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this,” one of the fans, Anthony Moton II, told City Paper that night. “Everyone is out here. This is so exciting. I can’t fucking explain it, it’s so crazy. … All that’s going on in our country, this city needs this so bad. We haven’t had a winner. Our city needs this and I’m here for it.”

June 28: Wayne Rooney, international superstar, and to date the most popular D.C. sports athlete on social media, arrived at Dulles International Airport to hundreds of screaming fans.

Though some questioned Rooney’s true pur-

The WashingTon fooTball team is on its fourth starting quarterback of the season, and fans often leave FedExField early, disgusted with the on-field product. The Wizards are mired in mediocrity, and can’t avoid questions about locker room chemistry. The owner of the Nationals doesn’t believe that Bryce Harper, the homegrown MLB superstar, will be returning to the District.

But D.C. sports fans can still feel good about 2018. All they need to do is go inside Capital One Arena, look up at the rafters, and say, “At least that happened.” That’s where the Capitals’ Stanley Cup Championship banner hangs.

Here’s a look back at a historic year in D.C. sports. pose in signing with an MLS team, one thing was clear: His arrival generated an excitement for the franchise that D.C. hadn’t felt in several years.

“It is fantastic to be joining D.C. United at such an exciting time in the club’s history with the new stadium opening in just a few weeks,” Rooney said in a news release. “Moving to America and MLS fulfills another career ambition for me. I have the hunger to be a success here and will give D.C. 100 percent.”

July 14: D.C. United debuted Audi Field, the team’s brand new, $500 million stadium at Buzzard Point. The summer evening was an on-field success, but the protest from the team’s supporter groups and a freak accident in which a railing hit a D.C. United staff member (giving her a concussion) marred the festive opening night.

July 17: Nationals Park hosted MLB’s biggest stars and baseball fans from around the world for the MLB All-Star Game. One night earlier, Harper won the Home Run Derby in thrilling fashion while wearing a D.C. flag headband.

July 28: Sports owner Ted Leonsis won his second championship when the Washington Valor of the Arena Football League won the four-team playoffs after finishing with a 2-10 regular season record. (This one wasn’t quite as exciting as the Caps’ victory.)

Sept. 12: The Mystics defied odds all season and made it to the WNBA Finals.

and veteran guard Kristi Toliver led the way for the team but the Seattle Storm swept the Mystics in three games.

“I think it’s important to realize that we just rebuilt this team last year with bringing in Elena and Kristi and some other pieces,” guard Natasha Cloud told City Paper after Game 3.

“In our second year we’re a championship-caliber team. We’ve continuously progressed from semifinals to the finals. There is another level to this team, so we have a lot to be proud of.”

Sept. 22: Mayor Muriel Bowser and other D.C. politicians gathered with sports figures and members of the community for the ribbon-cutting of the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Ward 8.

Sept. 26: The Nationals beat the Miami Marlins, 9-3, in their last home game of the season.

But this date is significant for another reason: Harper may have played his last game at Nationals Park with the home team. He arrived at the stadium three and a half hours early to soak in the atmosphere and put on the Nationals’ white jersey for what was potentially the final time. He is now a free agent.

Oct. 16: Toliver became one of the few female coaches in the NBA when the Wizards named her as an assistant coach. “I’d love to be a coach in the NBA, that would be a dream,” Toliver told City Paper a few months earlier.

Oct 21: D.C. United completed its miraculous

Oct. 31: The University of Maryland fired D.J. Durkin as its football coach one day after reinstating him. Controversy surrounded the school after the heat stroke death of linebacker Jordan McNair and reports of a toxic football culture.

Durkin was in the third year of a five-year deal and was paid approximately $5.5 million to not coach the team. In December, Maryland announced that D.C. native and former Alabama football assistant coach Michael Locksley will take over as head coach of the Terps.

Nov. 3: The Capital City Go-Go, the Wizards’ G League affiliate, made its debut at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Ward 8. The announced crowd of 2,383 included NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

Nov. 18: Exactly 33 years after Joe Theismann suffered a broken leg that ended his career, the Washington football team’s starting quarterback and offseason pick-up Alex Smith broke his right tibia and fibula after being sacked by Houston Texans’ Kareem Jackson. Smith would require several surgeries due to infections and would not be released from the hospital until Dec. 16. Washington has started three different quarterbacks since his injury.

Ahead of the Game Former Wizards player Etan Thomas addressed social issues during an era when athletes stayed politically neutral.

Michael Jordan would have never called the President of the United States a bum.

Jordan’s famously neutral approach to politics during his run as the most recognizable athlete on the planet bucked a decades-long trend. In the 1960s and 70s, well known athletes like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Muhammad Ali, Bill Russell, Billie Jean King, Jim Brown, Arthur Ashe, and many others took serious action for causes they believed in, such as the civil rights movement or ending the Vietnam War. They followed in the footsteps of Jackie Robinson and the generation that worked to overcome segregation across the sporting world.

But in the 1980s and ’90s, an exponential rise in the financial incentives of professional sports made Jordan and his contemporaries wary of rocking the boat. Owners, league executives, media members covering the games, and advertisers all had a vested interest in keeping their sports entertainment products politically neutral, and star players were compensated handsomely for it.

During his nine-year NBA career, Etan Thomas played alongside many big names, including Jordan on the Wizards. He had a decidedly different view, and a far more outspoken attitude, on social matters than athletes in his era—a view that has made a recent resurgence with today’s NBA superstars like Carmelo Anthony, Steph Curry, and LeBron James, who called Donald Trump a “bum” on Twitter while criticizing his decision to “uninvite” Curry and the Golden State Warriors to the White House. Thomas, 40, was ahead of his time in using his platform to address social causes, and sees the advocacy of today’s athletes as a marker for a new era.

“For LeBron to be able to take the stances that he takes kind of goes against the prevailing stance that Michael Jordan took,” Thomas recently said at a panel about athlete activism at The Aspen Institute. “What LeBron is doing is changing everything for athletes.”

Thanks to social media, prominent athletes today have better control over their messages and more opportunities to connect with supporters of a cause.

Back when Thomas was playing, his commentary on social issues didn’t get as much attention. Traditional media outlets simply

weren’t interested in unpacking his opinions on topics like the death penalty or the war in Iraq.

“I don’t think political athletes were taken seriously,” says Dave Zirin, a journalist who covers the intersection of sports and politics for The Nation and on his podcast, Edge of Sports. “It wasn’t a thing where they saw good copy, or they thought it would actively repel readers, and that’s why they made that decision to walk away from these terrific stories.”

Zirin, then a reporter for the Prince George’s Post, was the first person to publish a story on Thomas’ opposition to the Iraq War back in 2003.

“Then it kind of went viral before going viral was a thing,” says Thomas.

Of course there was backlash, but Thomas was well prepared to back up his opinions.

He started to become active on social issues in high school after a negative experience with the police in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. When he spoke publicly about it, in the media and as a member of the debate team, he realized the platform that he had as a prominent athlete.

Once in the NBA, Thomas’ voice only grew, but his position as a role player limited the platform to spread his message. He noticed that his higher-profile teammates and superstars in the league were reluctant to speak up, though not necessarily because they didn’t care.

Political and social issues did come up in the locker room, says Thomas. As an example, he

recalls having lengthy chats with his Wizards teammate and NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas about the importance of voting and elections.

“All my teammates, we all had conversations about what was going on at the time,” Thomas says. “Just guys sometimes don’t make it public.”

Now, in addition to having better means of spreading a social message, and benefitting from a new example set by the game’s top stars, there is also greater acceptance of athlete activism from those in power. Thomas was fortunate to have the support of thenWizards owner Abe Pollin at the time and is heartened to hear current owner Ted Leonsis express similar feelings.

“We expect so much from our athletes in the NBA,” Leonsis told Thomas in the former NBA player’s recent book, We Matter: Athletes and Activism. “So if we are asking them to be exemplars and leaders and really hold them to this incredibly high standard, why would we say, ‘Be with the people, but don’t have an opinion on issues that directly affect the people’? … These are really experienced, intelligent people who probably know a lot more about what is going on in the community than we do.”

Leonsis has been supportive of current Wizards stars Bradley Beal and John Wall, who have publicly criticized President Trump’s divisive words. Thomas says that Wall told him that watching James and other NBA stars like Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Paul en-

courage younger players to speak out has inspired him.

It also helps to be in the nation’s capital.

Beal attended Barack Obama’s town hall on gun violence in 2016. The Mystics have gone on group trips to the Newseum and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The WNBA as a whole is known for taking a progressive stance on social issues.

“When I was playing here there were always protests going on somewhere about something,” Thomas says. “So it was not hard to find a crowd, or a circle, that feels as passionate as you feel about something and be able to intermingle and speak with them.”

Eventually, event organizers started to invite Thomas to speak or to read his poetry. He has found his voice in this city as an activist, and now speaks at events across the country and hosts a radio show with Zirin on the D.C.based WPFW. While the District is unique in its proximity to political power and activity, athletes have yet to break through on Capitol Hill with national policymakers.

“That’s been a space that’s been alienated from athletes,” says Zirin. “Because it feels much more like photo ops for the congresspeople more than promoting political work. …

And there’s a lot of class contempt in those circles for athletes.”

Instead, athletes have had more progress at the grassroots level. When the University of Maryland reinstated football coach D.J. Durkin months after the heat stroke death of Jordan McNair, three players—Ellis McKennie, tight end Avery Edwards, and offensive lineman Brendan Moore—walked out of Durkin’s first team meeting.

McKennie, an offensive lineman, tweeted out his disappointment with the school’s decision and felt the community rally around his cause. Maryland fired Durkin a day later.

“I think that’s a space where something that literally is hitting so close to home for these athletes,” says Dr. Michael Friedman, who teaches a course on the history of sports in America at the University of Maryland. “I don’t necessarily see what they did so much as a political statement, but as a highly personal statement. ...They probably saw this as the only way to get justice.”

Thomas would have fit in with this new generation of athletes using their voice. But instead of lamenting that fact, he’s working hard to empower the nation’s youth.

“As I’m going speaking at different colleges and universities, young people are energized.

Young athletes are energized,” Thomas says.

“You’re gonna see something big happen. I’m really looking forward to it, honestly, because change always comes from the youth. And that’s what’s happening right now.”

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Punk Cynthia Connolly’s punk spirit is well intact, and she has more than 30 years’ worth of ever-evolving art to prove it.

Shortly after Cynthia Connolly published Banned in DC: Photos and Anecdotes From the DC Punk Underground (79-85), she decided her book merited inclusion in the Library of Congress. But she quickly learned that the Library would not accept the book unless its selection officer had sent her a request.

Incensed that she had not received one, Connolly, then 28, slid two copies of the book in an envelope and brought them to the Library’s Jefferson Building. She presented them at the front desk, advising the clerk that they had been requested.

Inexplicably, Banned in DC was added to the Library’s collection. Connolly is still not entirely sure how.

“I didn’t realize it at the time, but doing something like that is really who I am,” she says. “I just think I have some good ideas, and I’m a little stubborn. It’s funny, the idea that someone in the Library of Congress would find it and be like, how did this get here?”

In the 30 years since Banned in DC first appeared, the self-published book—essentially a collection of photos, flyers, and anecdotes— has sold approximately 14,000 copies and is now in its seventh printing. At a time when local media and radio largely ignored the area’s punk scene, the book celebrated the increasingly influential “harDCore,” which was remarkable for its self-sufficiency and its principled worldview.

But Banned in DC is not Connolly’s only significant contribution to local culture.

She moved here from Los Angeles in 1981, and during the next two decades, she played important roles at two of the area’s most revered cultural incubators, Dischord Records and the live performance venue d.c. space. After graduating from the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design, she continued to cultivate her style as both a letterpress artist and photographer, the latter in such quirky series as DC Musicians and their Favorite Mode of Transport, which has been exhibited around the U.S. and internationally.

More recently as a curator, she has operated mostly in Arlington, not far from the Dischord headquarters where she worked during most of the ’80s and ’90s. Through it all, she has been driven by punk’s DIY methodology, an unrelenting work ethic, and a distinct perspective that finds wonder in the mundane.

And while she is best known for Banned in DC, her most visible work is her 1982 drawing of a black sheep happily jumping away from a herd of white sheep that was the cover of Minor Threat’s seminal 1983 album Out of Step.

“I rendered the white sheep sort of sophisticated and looking a bit bored in watercolor and then the black sheep in crayon to express youthfulness,” she says. “But the eyes are drawn open, which is intentional. My sheep is jumping away and has full intentions of being different and moving away from the flock.”

Somewhat like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” Connolly’s black sheep has been endlessly duplicated—tattoos, T-shirts, phone cases, bags, pins, and necklaces. There’s even a “Minor Threat Black Sheep” embroidery hoop available on Etsy.

It was Ian MacKaye, Minor Threat frontman, Dischord Records owner, and Connolly’s former longtime partner, who had commissioned her to draw a black sheep for the album’s cover.

What she gave him far exceeded his expectations.

“It’s such a great image that resonates with people who have chosen to be the other, to be part of a counter-culture or the underground,” he says. “And it’s totally and completely Cynthia. The way she drew that was so joyful, which was the idea—that the black sheep is full of joy because it’s separated from this pack of bitter, unhappy conformists.”

Earlier this month, Connolly presented a slide show at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden about Banned in DC and the culture that inspired it. Along with miscellaneous ephemera that did not make it into the book, the evening was filled with engaging anecdotes. Many in the audience appeared to have been around back in the day, but a surprising number of younger folks were there, drawn by D.C. punk’s enduring prestige.

Afterward, book buyers waited patiently in line as Connolly signed copies alongside Leslie Clague, the book’s founding co-editor and contributing photographer. “Cynthia is relentless and tenacious,” Clague noted between signatures. “She kept this book going for 30 years. If she hadn’t done that, I’m not sure anyone would still be talking about it now.”

When it was his turn, one of the junior members of the audience, punk podcaster Andrew Goodwin, placed his copy in front of Connolly, and looking very pleased with himself, announced, “I bought this book and I waited in line for 30 minutes just to tell you that I’m getting the black sheep tattooed on my ass.”

Connolly laughed. in the yearS since Connolly hustled Banned in DC into the Library of Congress, she has honed her skills in working within the system, navigating county bureaucracy to achieve her offbeat curatorial vision. She has brought a distinct edge to Arlington’s visual arts scene with exhibits like Ellipse Arts Center’s contemporary sewn art show The Thread As the Line in 2008 and Artisphere’s 2012 Beyond the Parking Lot: The Change and Reassessment of Our Modern Landscape, which explored our responsibility to the natural environment.

“Cynthia went from d.c. space to creating a very serious art scene in no man’s land, Virginia—just by being Cynthia,” says former d.c. space owner Bill Warrell. “At the same time, she’s carrying on her very real career as an artist herself. I’m watching everything that she’s doing, and I say, ‘Thank God you’ve figured out a way to get paid by the Arlington government and be who you are.’”

Connolly’s prized achievement in her current gig as the county’s Special Projects Curator is the Arlington Art Truck. The white van, painted by graffiti artist and muralist Stephen Powers, tools around the county from April to October with various art projects and “ac-

tions.” Last spring, the truck’s inaugural presentation was Alex Braden and Emily Francisco’s “Bipedal Soundscapes,” an interactive “sound sculpture” comprised of a stationary bike wired to a five- tiered turntable. Pedaling the bike created musical mixes—one evening in Crystal City, the records included Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers’ “Run Joe,” Columbia Masterworks’ “The Big News of ‘59” and War’s “Platinum Jazz.” The intensity and speed of the pedaling altered the created sounds.

The truck’s mission—“to blur the line between participant and presenter”—is reminiscent of D.C.’s hardcore punk scene, where bands performed alongside stage-diving fans.

In this case, the artists watched while their audience created music that was distorted and noisy, but music nonetheless.

Connolly hovered around the proceedings, chatting amiably with tentative pedalers. Wearing a white lab coat over her clothes and carrying a clipboard, she resembled a laidback modern-day alchemist in saddle shoes. A careful observer might have also noticed that her signature shoes are painted on the side of the Art Truck, an homage by her friend Powers. (About those saddle shoes: Her association with punk might lead one to expect combat boots, but unpredictability is a Connolly trademark. She’s also into waltzing, square dancing, and playing banjo.)

Braden can’t think of anyone besides Connolly who could make “Bipedal Soundscapes” happen in Arlington. “It takes a very specific person to translate some harebrained scheme that an artist comes up with into something that can get funded by a board in this relatively litigious environment where everybody’s worried about risk and liability,” he says.

“Something like this makes no sense here,” he adds. “But Cynthia wanted it to happen and now it’s happening.”

Later, Connolly explains that she has recently found connections between her disparate bodies of work both as a curator and an artist. “It dawned on me that all my artwork was about documenting or supporting a community or it was work that inspired surprise and wonder,” she says. “What I like most about science, art, and math is discovery, and exploration and discovery is what I do as an artist and a curator.

“The Art Truck is a perfect example. It’s by happenstance. There’s serendipity. What the hell is this doing here?”

Connolly was raised in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades coastal neighborhood, where she could observe the ocean from the windows of buses that ferried her to and from school. “It was really meditative and stabilizing, you know. The earth is way mightier than we are,” she says. “I think my energy, who I am, is a direct result of that California energy.”

Her parents divorced when she was 9 years old; around that time, her mother returned to school to study law. Jane Bogart, a friend since middle school, describes their neighborhood’s

Cynthia Connolly’s original drawing of the Minor Threat Out of Step album art

milieu: “A lot of families were divorcing, a lot of kids were a little bit adrift,” she says.

As a teen, Connolly was turned off by the male-dominated surf culture around her and was instead drawn into L.A.’s punk scene. Bogart recalls seeing The Decline of Western Civilization with Connolly and hanging out together at L.A. punk clubs like the Starwood and the Vex. They also attended an Adam And The Ants parking lot performance at Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard, where members of Black Flag distributed stickers that read, “Black Flag Kills Ants on Contact.”

The 1980 exhibit on the Russian avantgarde at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art provided a pivotal moment for Connolly. “I was already going to punk shows, and then that exhibit just drove it home for me. I realized I wanted to be in a group of people who are thinking new ideas and creating new things,” she says. “Women were actually part of the movement in punk, and they weren’t just considered groupies. In punk, there were women and musicians who were actually doing things.”

When Connolly’s mother Vera moved to D.C. to work for the Reagan administration,

her two daughters came along, though Cynthia temporarily returned to L.A. to complete high school. Cynthia and her sister Anna met MacKaye and his brother Alec soon after they arrived in D.C. “The L.A. punk scene was super important to me, and they were L.A. punks,” Ian recalls.

“I just thought that was super cool.”

After graduating, Cynthia returned to D.C. in the summer of ’81 and immersed herself in the burgeoning local punk scene. Minor Threat and fledgling bands like The Faith and Iron Cross rehearsed in the basement of her mother’s Northwest house. In the years that followed, she often spent time helping around Dischord House, the Clarendon bungalow where MacKaye and Dischord co-founder Jeff Nelson lived as roommates and operated the increasingly influential punk label.

Eager to foster connections between the L.A. and D.C. punk scenes, Connolly sold the LA zine Flipside at shows here. She also shot photos for Flipside and wrote a D.C. scene report under the name “Morticia.” After graduating from the Corcoran in 1985, she moved briefly to San Francisco. There, she worked for punk magazine Maximum Rocknroll and

its photo zine, If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pit? Both inspired her to mastermind the Banned in DC book.

“I knew I needed to go back to D.C. and do this book about the D.C. punk scene because if I don’t do it somebody else is going to do it, and it’s going to be awful and they’re going to write these essays, and it’s just going to be so boring.”

Sneering at “essays” and “boring,” she sounds like the teenage punk version of herself. “I really wanted to do what I ended up doing, which is collect stories from people and just put those stories alongside photographs and the flyers, so the reader experiences it almost firsthand,” she says.

Unlike Mark Andersen and Mark Jenkins’s Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk in the Nation’s Capital, which explored local punk with reporting and analysis, Banned in DC feels more like a grungy subterranean yearbook. “It’s the most heartfelt publication I can think of that era,” says Connolly’s friend and fellow photographer Lely Constantinople. “No one’s trying to wrap it up in a nice little curatorial bow for you. It’s just the raw feed of what it looked like, and felt like, and smelled like. To me, that is the absolute perfect use of photographs and of book-making and the perfect marriage of the two.”

In 1987, Connolly started booking d.c. space, where she remained until the club’s closing in 1991. Her tenure at the club—which hosted a variety of punk, rock, jazz, theater, poetry, experimental film, performance art, etc.—broadened her understanding of the local arts scene.

She loved the job for a variety of reasons.

“The steps going downstairs were really precarious, totally unsafe by today’s standard,” Connolly recalls. “The bathroom was totally teeny weeny, and so creepy and weird … I couldn’t believe they let drunk people go down those crazy stairs. I remember going downstairs to that bathroom and thinking, ‘This is the best job ever. These stairs are so crazy, and this bathroom is so disgusting, but so cool. There will never be a job like this ever again.’” starting in 1992, Connolly took over zine and radio promotions for Dischord, where she would remain for the next decade. After a successful 1999 solo photography exhibit in Seattle titled Landscapes, Ice Machines, People, Stuff, she decided it was time for her work to be shown in Europe. Relying on a network of punk contacts she collected at her Dischord day job, she toured the continent lugging a box of her own unframed photographs—from Rome and Milan to Zurich, Berlin, and Bilbao.

Not surprisingly, her approach to showing her work had a distinctly punk feel. “Cynthia beats down that door all the time,” says Constantinople. “[She] says, ‘I’m still here. And guess what? I’m going to put all my shit in my car and I’m gonna drive it around to you, just like a band would. I’m going to drive all my shit to your wall and I’m going to put it up in your music venue and you’re gonna look at it.’ That takes serious balls.”

From left: “Olympia, Washington, 7-1997,” “Narragansett, Rhode Island, 9-6-2011,” “Selma, Alabama, 9-17-2003,” “Petaluma, California, 6-25-2001” More recently, Connolly’s art has been welcomed by more traditional establishments. Her photography series Letters on Top of Buildings— inspired by the neon rooftop letters in Hollywood and downtown L.A. remembered from childhood—has been acquired by L.A.’s J. Paul Getty Museum. Here, the Museum of American History has at least a dozen of her photographs—images of ice machines, phone booths, and arrow signs. And the National Museum of Women in the Arts recently collected her zine Big Lots and her handmade limited-edition letterpress book East to West: Trucks Driving.

While high-profile personages who have bought her work include Nick Hornby and Michael Stipe, thousands of less celebrated clients own her photo postcards. She says she has printed and sold 135,000 photo cards, mostly on her own with minimal distribution from Dischord. “It was so much fun,” she says. “I once met a woman who said she keeps a set of my postcards in her glove compartment.”

Connolly left Dischord in 2002 to start a year studying at Auburn University’s prestigious Rural Studio. There, she extensively photographed the surrounding Alabama countryside, built a darkroom in a rickety barn, and collaborated with a local artist to build a vegetable stand for an organic farmer.

An avid gardener, she worked on Saturday mornings for 20 years at the Arlington Farmers Market. She waxes eloquently about the scent of cool soil as it warms and her favorite vegetables—“tomatoes, obviously and then organic green beans.” In the front yard of her tidy brick house, she grows those and arugula, radishes, and an array of herbs.

Her house feels like a place where one could easily spend several days without boredom.

Outside, tucked against the side of her garage, is a phone booth that she bought in Giles County, a part of rural Virginia she has come to love almost as much as her native California.

Inside, visitors will find an assortment of art works, many of them acquired through trades

Four sets of Cynthia Connolly’s postcards with artist friends. Walls of bookshelves indicate the breadth of her restless interests and intelligence: There’s a book on California water rights, America’s Instrument: The Banjo in the Nineteenth Century, and a comprehensive history of “Old Southern Apples.” There’s Sally Mann and Walker Evans, books by Rebecca Solnit and Zora Neale Hurston, and an album by The Fall.

Many of her Ice Machine photos are on the wall, including “Kleer Kube Ice” from Moruya, Australia, “Polar Ice” from Pittsboro, Indiana, and liquor store ice from Atlanta, Georgia.

“When I was a kid in L.A., I never saw snow.

I’d always try to pretend, oh it’s Christmas, it’s winter time,” she explains. “The only place I would see snow is on ice machines. In L.A., you’re always thrown in the car as a kid, and you’re driving around. I would see ice machines in the parking lots with the little frosty

letters, and that’s the snow. Later I started taking photographs of them, and then I realized if you look at all those ice machines together, you see connections and communities. The distribution networks are seen by the type of design on the machine.”

Through much of her work, there is a commitment to building and supporting subcultures, whether of D.C. punks or inanimate objects like ice boxes and telephone booths, which she says she tries to make “nearly animate as though they’re in their own community.”

Bill MacKaye, Ian’s father and an ardent admirer of Connolly’s work, explains how she achieves this. “Cynthia captures the details that go unnoticed by others,” he says. “And by doing that, she can enchant the ordinary.”

Connolly’s basement laundry room doubles as her darkroom. “It’s pretty cra-

zy because there’s dust, and dust on prints is confounding,” she says airily. “Now I have a method of sponging everything down before I work.”

A Zorlac skateboard with her famous sheep hangs just above her workspace. She can’t remember whether the company asked permission, but they sent free boards to her and every member of Minor Threat. Hers is not displayed upstairs because, well, it’s a skateboard. Connolly keeps the original sheep illustration unframed in a flat file drawer here in the basement. She has never considered hanging it upstairs. “I just don’t want that to be the conversation,” she says. “I’ve done so many other things.”

A spate of 2013 news stories about the licensing of Out of Step T-shirts, including one in this publication, neglected to mention Connolly, even though she is clearly credited on the back of the album and receives royalties for every licensed item sold. And for all her accomplishments, several of her friends have noted that while the sheep is so iconic, the artist who drew it remains mostly anonymous.

“Not a lot of people know that she did that,” says Constantinople. “It’s fucked up. I don’t know if this is a stretch, but this is what maledominated culture does to the world.”

But maybe the artist doesn’t need validation for her black sheep because she is essentially content, joyfully and intentionally moving in her own direction.

Connolly once heard about an office party in Portland, Oregon, that offered an array of free tattoos, one of which was her black sheep.

“That bugs me because the context of Minor Threat is removed, but I guess there’s nothing you can do about it,” she says cheerfully. “But I have definitely said to people, ‘Your black sheep tattoo? I drew that.’ And they’re looking at me like, who’s that crazy old lady who says she drew the black sheep? That’s the most hilarious thing ever.”

mission of DMV Black Restaurant Week, and there a number of notable black-owned restaurants who did not participate. They hope to grow the event next year.

By Laura Hayes 2018 was a year of growth and growing pains.

Diners went to new destinations, including The Wharf and the Union Market District, and found more robust options in Navy Yard and on H Street NE. Less sophomoric nightlife neighborhoods like Adams Morgan, the 14th Street NW corridor, and Georgetown experienced significant change.

Georgetown is on the path to becoming a thriving restaurant neighborhood once again thanks to the end of a 27year liqu or license moratorium, but Adams Morgan and 14th Street saw turnover as the clock ran out on five- and 10-year leases. The fourth quarter of 2018 in particular brought major closures including Taylor Gourmet, Acadiana, J. Paul’s, and CF Folks. Oh, and almost every Mike Isabella Concepts restaurant.

D.C. is still largely an embarrassment of riches when it comes to dining options. From fine dining to fast casual, Washingtonians can try food from around the world without leaving the beltway. But growth has been uneven.

East of the river in wards 7 and 8, there are less than 10 sit-down restaurants and just three full-service grocery stores. The D.C. Council advanced three pieces of legislation aimed at incentivizing food businesses to open in these underserved communities. 2019 will be about whether or not they work.

Read on for more highlights and lowlights of 2018.

Best dishes I ate this year: Chicken and dumplings at The Dabney, squash blossom crab rangoons at Rose’s Luxury, salmon collar at St. Anselm, whole fried red snapper in brown stew at Kith/Kin, salmon en croute at Primrose, impossible potstickers at The Source, squid ink pasta with fresh tuna crudo at Centrolina, chicken parm florentine at Unconventional Diner, steak shawarma bowl at Charcoal Town, chicken skin dumpling at Spoken English, fried scallops at Stevensville Crab Shack, dal makhani at Pappe, fried shrimp donburi at The District Fishwife, and pozole at Ellē.

Cuisine that had the biggest year: Indian Indian food spiced things up in D.C. Newcomers that opened at the end of 2017 and throughout all of 2018 included Masala Story, Karma Modern Indian, RASA, Pappe, Bindaas’ Foggy Bottom location, Spice 6’s Chinatown location, and Bombay Street Food. Two more, Glassey and Punjab Grill, will open in the new year.

Chef we loved to hate: Mike Isabella After former Mike Isabella Concepts employee Chloe Caras accused him of “extraordinary” sexual harassment, one of D.C.’s bestknown chefs took the low road and completely unraveled. Don’t forget the Instagram post

that depicted a custom championship wrestling belt with the insignia of his restaurants on it that was accompanied by the hashtag #everybodyhatesme.

What if he had instead settled quickly, publicly apologized, and vowed to invest serious resources into cleaning up his company’s work culture. Would he have had a chance to come back, even if he didn’t deserve one? Instead, diners departed and closures came swiftly, ultimately leading Mike Isabella Concepts to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in December.

dead: The Red Hen mix-up Bloomingdale’s charming rigatoni restaurant was dragged into a national scandal in June when a Lexington, Virginia, restaurant with a similar name didn’t let White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders finish her meal. (Disrupting the meals of Trump administration officials was a popular diversion in 2018.) “In terms of the truth decay, you have to remember that we didn’t do anything,” Chef Mike Friedman told City Paper after days and days of nasty calls, Yelp bombing, and even death threats.

Best show of solidarity: Restaurants telling Nazis where to shove it When a small group of white supremacists came to the District for the “Unite the Right 2” rally that was over before it started, restaurants hung signs and sent tweets informing these out-of-towners that they weren’t welcome. They had the right to do so—restaurants are legally allowed to turn away white nationalists and other “fringe ideological groups.”

The Passenger stole the show with a sign that said, “Is your mom proud of you today?

Prolly not if you’re Nazi scum.”

Biggest D.C. food milestone: DMV Black Restaurant Week This fall three Washingtonians came together to put on DMV Black Restaurant Week to highlight black culinary and bar talent as well as black-owned restaurants in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. In addition to restaurants and bars offering deals, there was a conference and a bartender competition. One of the chief goals was to start building pipelines to black ownership. The founders, Andra “AJ” Johnson, Dr. Erinn Tucker, and Furard Tate, caught some flack for including a handful of what they called “allied restaurants” that weren’t black-owned but supported the

Worst dishes I ate this year: Funnel cake with candied jalapeños and sweet cream cheese at the Montgomery County Fair, tacos at Taqueria Local, blintzes at Russia House, pomegranate guacamole at Whole Foods, and the meatball pocket at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.

Biggest food fight of the year: Initiative 77 The battle over the ballot measure that sought to eliminate the tipped minimum wage was the food story of 2018. Initiative 77 forced diners to think about the complex way restaurant workers are paid and issues they face, such as wage theft and sexual harassment. It also mobilized a segment of the D.C. population—servers and bartenders— that haven’t traditionally been involved in local politics.

Currently D.C. and 43 states use a tip credit system. In D.C., restaurant owners can pay tipped workers as little as $3.89 per hour so long as their tips carry them over the standard minimum wage ($13.25). If tips fail to carry a worker’s earnings over the standard minimum wage, the employer must cover the remainder.

Initiative 77, which was put on the ballot by New York-based labor group Restaurant Opportunities Center United (ROC), would have gradually increased the tipped minimum wage in eight increments until it equalled the standard minimum wage of $15 in 2025, thus eliminating the tip credit and two-tier wage system.

DCFEED Proponents of 77 argued that if workers were to receive the full minimum wage directly from their employers, the measure would reduce wage theft and decrease sexual harassment and racial inequality in the workplace. Opponents believed that the measure’s increased labor costs would force some establishments to close or cut jobs and would ultimately reduce take-home pay for tipped workers.

With the stakes being so high—hospitality is the second biggest industry in D.C.—this chess match drew hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations. The names of the campaigns on each side contributed to the confusion.

“Save Our Tips,” largely backed by the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington and the National Restaurant Association, was misleading because 77 doesn’t outlaw tipping. Its backers thought that if restaurants have to raise menu prices to absorb increased labor costs, diners may not dine out as often and may not tip as generously when they do.

ROC’s “One Fair Wage” campaign was also a misnomer. All tipped workers are entitled by law to the same minimum wage. What changes is who pays the lion’s share of the money— the public, through gratuities, or the employer. Proponents of 77 argued that the tip credit system creates too many gray areas, making it more challenging to protect workers from wage theft.

This spring, City Paper combed through federal complaints against District businesses that violated the Fair Labor Standards Act over the past two years. About 40 percent of the 97 complaints were from restaurant or bar employees and of those, almost all were from kitchen staffers who don’t typically share in gratuities. These dishwashers, prep cooks, and line cooks, who are predominantly minorities, would not have benefitted from 77.

José Andrés came out against the ballot measure in June for this reason, telling City Paper, “As it stands, the system is designed to allow servers to earn as much as 100% or more per hour than cooks. Increasing the tipped minimum wage will only make the current wage disparity more extreme and place downward pressure on small business margins.”

City Paper interviewed upward of 150 tipped workers who work at a variety of establishments while reporting on 77. Almost all expressed anger and dread at the thought of the implementation of 77.

Only a handful of tipped workers spoke out in favor of Initiative 77. But that doesn’t mean more supporters aren’t out there. Tipped workers who supported 77 were reluctant to come forward and disclose employment information, citing fears of retaliation from their employers or the opposition. They were

up against tipped workers who had owners on their side, and the interplay between the two groups on the street and on social media was fierce.

Voters passed the ballot measure 55 percent to 45 percent on June 19. About a month later, seven of 13 D.C. councilmembers introduced a bill to repeal 77 outright. They cited misleading language on the ballot and conversations with tipped workers. There were three provisions on the ballot. The first asked voters if they wanted to see D.C.’s minimum wage increase to $15/hour. That increase was already approved in 2016.

“Worker after worker is saying we don’t want this … There’s something out of whack here when what I’m hearing from non-workers who say this is good for workers while workers are lining up and saying no it’s not,” Council Chairman Phil Mendelson said at the hearing preceding the repeal vote. The 16-hour hearing on the repeal bill kicked off at 11 a.m. on Sept. 17 and lasted until 3 a.m. on Sept. 18.

More than 250 people signed up to testify.

On Oct. 2 the Council voted 8-5 to repeal 77, but only after Councilmember Elissa Silverman introduced a compromise that would have kept Initiative 77 in place for non-restaurant tipped workers like valets and restaurant workers who are indirectly tipped like bussers.

The amendment failed.

A second vote two weeks later sealed the deal, drawing immediate backlash from voters and community activists such as Rev. Graylan Scott Hagler. The wards that voted most favorably for Initiative 77 were predominantly African-American, and Hagler looks at the issue through a national lens of voter suppression.

In response, Hagler teamed up with ROC leadership and cannabis activist Adam Eidinger to launch the Save Our Vote campaign with the goal of getting the repeal repealed through a future ballot referendum.

Organizers collected more than the required 25,000 signatures in a matter of days, shelling out $200,000 to get the job done.

But at the exact moment the signatures were being submitted to the DC Board of Elections, a D.C. Superior Court judge ruled that BOE failed to provide the public with proper notice about the referendum, effectively killing it.

This conversation will bleed into 2019 and well into the future, as the head of D.C.’s ROC office vows to continue fighting for “One Fair Wage.” Stakeholders will have to keep asking if eliminating the tip credit is the perfect or nearperfect solution for addressing the local restaurant industry’s most pressing issues.

CPARTS Stephanie Rudig

perimental rap performances this year, you’ve seen him finish his set by hurling his body through the drums and onto his happily unfazed and resilient drummer, Rob Stokes. It’s an endearingly punk moment, channeling a legacy of musical defiance in one reckless leap; both a reverse stage dive and an audacious hug.

—Lindsay Hogan

Listen Up City Paper’s music writers recount their favorite moments in music in 2018.

I’m not one for year-end lists. I’m not opposed to them completely, but I find that there’s something inherently misguided about ranking art in any sort of definitive manner. Experiencing art is a completely subjective experience in and of itself. So in lieu of a traditional “year-end list,” I gave City Paper’s music writers a simple prompt: What musical moments of 2018 moved you? This could take the shape of an album, a song, a concert, a lyric—whatever. The single caveat: It had to be, in some way, local. Here’s what they picked.

—Matt Cohen Bathtub Republic’s Final Farewell Festival, July 28-29, 2018 For two hot summer days and nights, the beloved house venue Bathtub Republic ended its five-year run with relentless sets from BRNDA, Tony Kill, Light Beams, Luke Stewart, Anthony Pirog, The North Country, and 20 other artists indebted to the house’s hospitality and commitment to do-it-yourself art and music. Unlike the quiet, unexpected deaths of countless other DIY venues, Bathtub’s celebration of wildly diverse and loving performances replaced any sadness and regret with picturesque togetherness, creative momentum, and local pride.

—Lindsay Hogan Every time Sir E.U ended his set by jumping through the drum kit, onto his drummer If you made it to the end of any of Sir E.U’s vividly chaotic, ex-

Lorde at The Anthem, April 8, 2018 and Impalers, Red Death, and Asesinato at Comet Ping Pong, August 23, 2018 A mess of outstretched hands reached over the barricade in an attempt to graze Lorde, as she descended from the stage at The Anthem last spring. As star-shaped confetti fell like snow from the ceiling, the audience rode a collective pop-fueled high. Months later, bodies overflowed out the doors of Comet Ping Pong’s back room as Austin hardcore outfit, Impalers, and locals Red Death and Asesinato conducted the space. A familiar abandon was present among those packed from wall-to-wall. Though a far cry from the posh waterfront venue eight miles south, the electricity in this small room was akin to that in a crowd with 1,000+ attendees a few months prior. The scene, however, was admittedly a bit sweatier.

—Callie Tansill-Suddath The sounds of the city on the evening of the Washington Capitals’ Stanley Cup victory It started with silence as we held our breath, but it quickly crescendoed with car horns and chants of “We won the cup!” bolstered by the exuberant go-go bands at full throat. The sound of an entire city overcome in the present is the most unforgettable musical moment in 2018.

—Justin Weber The Thousand Incarnations of the Rose: A Festival of American Primitive Guitar, April 13-15, 2018 The Thousand Incarnations of the Rose festival in Takoma Park in April 2018 was not only a celebration of Takoma Park native and solo guitar legend John Fahey, but a reckoning, too.

Rare is the festival that lets one geek out about a niche fandom and also question and move beyond its biases and limitations.

—Justin Weber The Hip-Hop Museum At the tail end of 2018, Jeremy Beaver—aka DJ Boom—the owner of the Listen Vision Studios and WLVS Radio launched a partnership with Culturehouse, the Southwest art gallery and performance venue formerly known as the Blind Whino. The most interesting part of this collaboration is the creation of the Hip-Hop Museum, DC, described as “the largest collection of hip-hop memorabilia in the world.” The official launch of the museum will be Jan. 18 with performances by Melle Mel and other rap legends.

—Sidney Thomas Beat Konductaz beat battle The Beat Konductaz beat battle drew D.C.’s most talented DJs, rappers, and producers to a non-descript single-family house on Rhode Island Avenue NE. Grand Whizard emerged victorious and he will face the winners of other beat battles in a tournament-style format. DJ Ohlow founded Beat Konductaz to help local producers and audio engineers find better and more lucrative placement for their music.

—Sidney Thomas Foo Fighters at Merriweather Post Pavilion, July 6, 2018 Somehow, some way, the Foo Fighters managed to avoid play-

ing one of the best venues in the Greater Dave-Grohl-Hometown area for more than 20 years. Massive rock shows don’t get much better than this one was.

—Keith Mathias Luna Honey, Among The Rocks and Roots, Social Station, and Kamyar Arsani at Hole in the Sky, July 13, 2018 One of the best new projects from one of D.C.’s best independent labels celebrated the release of their album by capping off an eclectic night of music with a stellar performance. Everything good about the D.C. DIY music scene in one show.

—Keith Mathias Huda Asfour at Atlas Performing Arts Center, May 18, 2018 D.C.-based Palestinian oud player and singer Huda Asfour’s release show at the Atlas Performing Arts Center for her album Kouni was ambitious and artistic. She performed with a diverse group including D.C.-based musicians like Zambian guitarist and producer Sitali Siyolwe, African-American trumpeter and arranger Thad Wilson, and Iranian daf player Kamyar Arsani.

The performance was stellar, bolstered by striking backing videos for each song.

—Steve Kiviat Spencer Taylor & The Highway Q.C.’s at the House of Praise, Dec. 1, 2018 Ninety-year-old D.C. gospel singer Spencer Taylor often leaves the heavy lifting to his bandmates in The Highway Q.C.’s. But during one song at a recent multi-show bill at the House of Praise in Northeast, he took the lead—it was a marvelous sight to behold as he and his fellow singers sauntered down the aisle singing their songs of worship.

—Steve Kiviat Sarah Hughes and Elijah Easton The two definitive moments in local jazz centered around two saxophonists: Sarah Hughes, whose new band and album Coy Fish is an astoundingly original and distinctive vision, and Elijah Easton, whose residence this year at U Street’s Service Bar became appointment music. Those two also led trios into an astounding summit at CapitalBop’s Rhizome jazz loft in December.

—Mike West Paal Nilssen-Love’s Large Unit at RhizomeDC, June 16, 2018 For the second year in a row, local art-rock trio The Caribbean put together their Seventh Stanine festival—a day-long endurance of some of the best experimental, rock, and outsider music in the D.C. area and beyond (and, for some reason, my dumb band). Each performance was sublime, but the clear highlight was Norwegian musician Paal Nilssen-Love leading his 19-member free-jazz orchestra on an outdoor stage. Stay weird, Takoma Park.

—Matt Cohen Philip Glass Ensemble performing Koyaanisqatsi at The Kennedy Center, March 16, 2018 Godfrey Reggio’s experimental 1982 film Koyaanisqatsi is, I think, one of my favorite films of all time. That’s in no small part due to Philip Glass’ iconic, stirring score. Watching Glass lead an ensemble of a live scoring of the film at the Kennedy Center was perhaps one of the greatest performances I’ve seen. Just thinking about it makes me mistyeyed.

THEATER Botticelli in the Fire at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company

to comic relief from D.C. native Denyce Graves and soaring melodies that reverberated around one of the best rooms in town.

—CJ Best performance involving a bouncy castle: Make Believe, Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre The D.C. debut of one of America’s most important dance theater artists explored religion and romantic love, culminating with a literal depiction of over-inflated fantasies.

—RJR Best solo performance: Queens Girl in Africa, Mosaic Theater Company Asking one performer to tell a personal coming-of-age story that happens to coincide with a civil war is a large undertaking, but Erika Rose was more than up to the task. Her portrayal of Jacqueline Marie Butler, a teenager who moves with her family from Queens to Nigeria in the mid 1960s, was the perfect balance of specific and relatable.

—CJ

2018 On Stage The D.C. theater scene is so diverse that asking City Paper’s team of critics to name the single best thing they saw on stage in 2018 would be an exercise in futility. So instead, we’ve reflected on the year by picking our favorite shows in a variety of random categories.

Yet again, D.C. stages have presented something for everyone, whether you enjoy anticapitalist musicals or Shakespearean tragedy.

—Caroline Jones Best performance on a pier: The Frederick Douglass Project, Solas Nua The D.C. permitting people thought Solas Nua artistic director Rex Daugherty was crazy, but they let him put on a show on a pier last May, and what a show it was: Psalmayene 24 and Deirdre Kinahan teamed up to dramatize Douglass’ first trip to Ireland and performed it across the river from the house where he spent his final years.

—Rebecca J. Ritzel Best “My First Hamlet:” Michael Kahn directs Michael Urie, Shakespeare Theatre Company The retiring STC artistic director’s final crack at Hamlet traded on the star power of its melancholy Dane, Ugly Betty regular Michael Urie, but it was a conventional, straight-down-themiddle interpretation.

—Chris Klimek Best play for anyone who has ever been a teenage girl: The Wolves, Studio Theatre Sarah DeLappe’s drama about an elite travel soccer team was staged across the continent in 2018, for good reason, and Studio’s intimate

production in its Stage 4 space had all the suspence of watching World Cup PKs. —RJR Best play for anyone who has been a working mom: Cry It Out, Studio Theatre Books on finding that elusive work/life balance are easy to come by, but plays are not. Thank you, playwright Molly Smith Metzler. —RJR Best demonstration of how Botticelli and Prince were remarkably similar artists: Botticelli in the Fire, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company Woolly’s U.S. premiere of Jordan Tannahill’s uproarious and chilling ahistorical fantasy posited the Renaissance painter as an artist torn between the flesh and spirit who eventually burned many of his secular paintings. Remember the early-aughts period, when Prince became a Jehovah’s Witness and began censoring his own ’80s hits when he performed them in concert?

—CK Best excuse to stomp your feet: Anything Goes, Arena Stage Arena Stage’s end-of-year musicals can be tricky—a lot of the classics have not aged well—but Cole Porter songs and sharp tap choreography (that audiences attempted to stomp along to) made Molly Smith’s production a must-see.

—Caroline Jones Best anti-communist musical: Vietgone, Studio Theatre Losing to the VC has never been as fun as in Qui Nguyen’s sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll

show about his refugee parents finding love in Arkansas.

—RJR Best anti-capitalist musical: Billy Elliot, Signature Theatre A few visceral effects are lost when Billy is downsized to fit inside a black box, but the musical’s bleeding liberal heart is as big as ever.

—RJR “Best” I-Know-Prolonged-Silences-AreAnnie-Baker’s-Thing-But-C’mon-Already: John, Signature Theatre Baker’s 3.5-hour drama set in a bed-and-breakfast that was a hospital during the Civil War was filled with so many pauses, per the playwright’s stage directions, that it still may not be over.

—CK Best Play That’s More Reasonable in Its Allotment of Wordlessness: Small Mouth Sounds, Round House Theatre Bess Wohl’s comedic drama about a half-dozen (mostly) strangers on a silent retreat together communicated twice as much as John in half the time. That’s not hyperbole. Its run time was 105 minutes.

—CK Best reimagined Stravinsky: Rite of Spring, Pointless Theatre Few shows left me as awed by D.C.’s talent as this wordless work of dance theater featuring an all-female cast, inventive choreography by Kathy Gordon, and a super creepy old crone puppet.

—RJR Best Leonard Bernstein tribute: Candide, Washington National Opera Plenty of music groups honored the great American composer’s centennial with performances, but Washington National Opera’s lush production of Bernstein’s operatic adaptation of the Voltaire novella shone particularly brightly, thanks

Best multilingual play performed in a single language: Translations, Studio Theatre Matt Torney’s production of Brian Friel’s 1980 play about English occupiers in 19th century Ireland did a masterful job of conveying which characters could and could not understand one another, though we could understand and empathize with them all.

—CK Best appropriation of a semi-famous early ’90s power-pop album: Girlfriend, Signature Theatre The unraveling of his marriage in his twenties inspired Matthew Sweet to write his 1991 power-pop masterpiece, Girlfriend. It was a baffling choice for a soundtrack to Todd Almond’s 2010 play about two teenage boys falling in love in Nebraska the summer after high school. —CK Best argument against trying to become a professional writer: Gloria, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company Branden Jacobs-Jenkins worked at The New Yorker before his career as a playwright got going, which must be why this brutal examination of the naked ambition of scribes rang so true.

—CK Best set to move into: The Remains, Studio Theatre Wilson Chin turned the Mead Theatre into a homey yet austere Boston apartment for Ken Urban’s comedic drama about the dissolution of a marriage. From the fancy kitchen to the artistic wallpaper, it would not look out of place in the pages of Architectural Digest.

—CJ Best reward for waiting in a 12-hour digital queue: Hamilton, Kennedy Center Opera House Yes, the long wait and pricey tickets were worth it. Seeing the American musical of the moment in a building that overlooks national memorials reminded us that living in the nation’s capital can still be awe-inspiring at times.

Second Looks

In photography displayed in the D.C. area this year, five images stood out. They came from all over, from Mexico to Japan to Cuba to the Middle East. Here’s one art critic’s picks for the best photographic images exhibited in local museums and galleries in 2018 —Louis Jacobson

Steven Bollman In his Leica Store DC retrospective Almost True, Bollman offered an apt description of his philosophy—that even though his photographs were made over a period of 30 years and in many locales, they cover “just a few seconds in real time.” The most striking image was an homage to the signature works of O. Winston Link—a 1950s-era car outracing a cruise ship under dark skies along Havana’s Malecón.

Fred Zafran Zafran’s exhibition at Multiple Exposures Gallery, Along The Poet’s Narrow Road, was as moody and contemplative as you might expect for a meditation on a 17th century Japanese poet’s journey. Zafran made photographs along the path of Matsuo Bashō, a famous Edo-era master of haiku who cast off his possessions and hiked 1,500 miles through a wilderness region, mostly by himself, and wrote poetry. Zafran’s almost painterly image of a woman standing statue-like on a train platform embodied the notion of quiet anticipation.

Amani Al Shaali The American University Museum exhibit Tribe: Contemporary Photography from the Arab World included a wide range of deeply personal imagery from cutting-edge artists, but one that stood out was Al Shaali’s dreamlike image of a woman besieged by falling knives—a tableau that was at once particular and universal.

Nestor Ares Cortes In the eighth annual Photo Slam exhibit at Glen Echo Photoworks, Ares Cortes documented the Mexican Day of the Dead. One image was especially phantasmagoric—a photograph that peered through a stone arch toward hulking figures, crosses, and eerily lit trees at nighttime that initially seem to be aflame.

Jo Levine Levine was one of 14 photographers who contributed to the Studio Gallery’s group show, Narrative: Contemporary Photography and the Art of Storytelling.

The exhibit was full of creative work, but an image by Levine was a standout: a bonfire photographed through the fire’s heat waves, as if it had been taken through frosted, textured glass.

GALLERIES

Forward Thinking The National Gallery of Art made strides in 2018, but with an incoming new director, its future is looking brighter.

ly two dozen European masterpieces from the Soviet Union. Launching the National Gallery facilitated Stalin’s first Five-Year Plan. (Russia used to trouble Reagan-era culture warriors.)

More recently, the National Gallery has made leaps and bounds toward breaking out of the political boundaries prescribed by the priests who keep the canon. Recent artists highlighted by the museum include Anne Truitt, Theaster Gates, and Barbara Kruger. Philip Brookman curated a show of early works by Gordon Parks, while Kara Fiedorek assembled diptych photographs and video from Dawoud Bey’s “The Birmingham Project” (2012)—two generations of artists asserting black culture through photography.

Art by women anchored two of the museum’s best exhibitions in 2018: Rachel Whiteread and Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings. The former, a co-production with the Tate Britain, is the culmination of the National Gallery’s acquisition of Whiteread’s “Ghost” (1990), a post-minimalist masterpiece. The formalist survey was made possible (or made easier) by the museum’s forward-looking investment in her work. That’s

EarliEr in DEcEmbEr, the National Gallery of Art named its new director. Currently the president and director of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Kaywin Feldman will succeed Earl A. “Rusty” Powell III as the fifth leader of the nation’s fine-art treasury. She may be the first person in the museum’s history to be subject to a vicious right-wing smear before day one on the job.

“Obituarists looking to write the epitaph of the American art museum could do worse than ponder the elevation of Kaywin Feldman,” wrote Roger Kimball in a blistering editorial for The Wall Street Journal. He begins with her appointment as the first woman to run the National Gallery and expands his complaint to encompass every wrong turn he thinks art has made since the 1960s, seemingly laying them all at her feet. Kimball’s bellicose rant ends with a Trumpian blast: He labels Feldman as one of the “enemies of art.”

Welcome to the resistance, Kaywin Feldman.

An essay that Feldman wrote for Apollo magazine in May comes under special fire in Kimball’s broadside. In her piece, Feldman explains what she sees as the role of art in an era of rising uncertainty. Endless war in Syria, the plight of Puerto Rico, the crisis of Brexit, and above all, President Donald Trump’s unmoored administration are taking a psychological toll on the nation—and a museum director has a responsibility to address this anxiety. A sentence like this is kryptonite for Kimball and his New Criterion set: “Art museums are intensely political organisations—political with a small ‘p’.”

“A concerned trustee at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MiA), where I am the director, recently asked me if we would ever be the focus of protest. I assured him that we would,” Feldman wrote. She backed it up by posting a black billboard, following the first Muslim ban issued by Trump in 2017. Under the banner of the MiA, it said: “Everyone is welcome. Always.”

Kimball takes exception with what his essay describes as the “National Gallery of Identity Politics.” No surprise there: Curmudgeons like to believe that fine art belongs under glass, its authority the sole function of pedigreed gatekeepers who lurk in library stacks. Above all, in Kimball’s book, art must never associate itself with the -isms of the left, which pretty much rules out any painting made after World War II. Although Kimball would do well to learn his art history: Andrew Mellon seeded the National Gallery through his purchase, in 1931, of near-

show (which is traveling broadly) explores the familiar contours of Mann’s Southern Gothic condition, from melancholy shots of her naked children in their innocence to haunted photos of Civil War battlefields in their immensity.

The exhibit also includes work in which Mann wrestles with race (sometimes unsuccessfully). There are historical photos of Mann’s African-American nanny, Virginia “Gee-Gee” Carter, as well as portraits of black men, the artist’s fumbling efforts to discover through the camera the people she never met growing up in a segregated society. It is not like the National Gallery to tackle race at all—much less through work that is so uncertain, and maybe even problematic.

The National Gallery’s incoming director has thoughts about how politics can shape a museum.

“Leaders are afraid of a misstep that could lead to vocal public protest,” Feldman wrote (in Apollo). She mentions the decision by the Whitney Museum of American Art to stand behind Dana Schutz, whose 2016 painting “Open Casket”—which depicted the gruesome open-coffin portrait of Emmett Till, murdered at 14 for the crime of being black—prompted intense criticism from black artists and viewers in the museum’s 2017 biennale. (In a coincidence, Mann, who is white like Schutz, photographed the site of Till’s murder.) Feldman correctly assessed the stakes for the museum amid calls to withdraw Schutz’s painting, but she didn’t make clear how she would respond to a similar situation.

But Feldman is on the record as thinking about these issues, and she was when the National Gallery selected her. Feldman has a gimlet-eyed view on the importance of diversity on both sides of the registrar’s ledger: whose work is shown and who’s doing the showing. The National Gallery has long lacked visionary leadership, although recent curators (and board members) have taken notice of living artists, black artists, and women. With Feldman’s appointment, there is an opportunity for the National Gallery to unify around the mission of serving and representing the many cultures of the American people—to Kimball’s dismay, apparently.

“Cultural leaders sometimes shy away from bold statements and agile actions in response to contemporary issues and trends,” Feldman wrote. Her impact at the National Gallery, in the form of shows and hires, may not begin to manifest until after Trump leaves the White House. But the cortisol spiked by this administration won’t leave the nation’s system as soon as he does.

Division will still be the rule. Fascism will still be a menace. Finally, the National Gallery is facing up to the national reality. The year 2018 might be a turning point—the year the nation’s most important museum turned from the past to the present.

Minding the Gap

Cold War

Directed by Paweł Pawlikowski In a year where A Star Is Born dominated the box office, this Polish romance about two musicians also tugged at the heartstrings, with the crucial difference that it remained admirably economical. Cold War covers decades of material in just under 90 minutes, and thanks to director Paweł Pawlikowski’s shrewd storytelling, no scene lasts longer than it must. By setting the romance against the backdrop of European political upheaval, his film reminds us that love can sometimes grow like a persistent weed among overwhelming desolation. (AZ)

The Death of Stalin

Directed by Armando Iannucci Who would have thought that the bloody regime of Josef Stalin would be the backdrop for the year’s best comedy? Adapted by Armando Iannucci (Veep, In the Loop) from a graphic novel, The Death of Stalin chronicles with comic precision the power struggle that ensues when the Soviet leader suddenly keels over. A murderer’s row of character actors— including Steve Buscemi, Michael Palin, and Andrea Riseborough—convey the exquisite tension between human atrocity and human comedy.

(NG)

Eighth Grade

Directed by Bo Burnham Most coming-of-age films are told with hindsight. The stakes never feel particularly high because you can feel the grown-up behind the camera, having survived growing pains, looking back at their adolescence with nostalgia. Eighth Grade is told in the present tense, and without the reassurance that everything will work out for its nervous protagonist Kayla, the tension runs painfully high. Aided by a breakout performance by Elsie Fisher and Bo Burnham’s elegant script and direction, Eighth

ical horror film this year? I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t, since The Little Stranger came and left theaters without much fanfare. It is a pity, since Domhnall Gleeson gives one of his alltime best performances as Faraday, a country doctor in 1940s England who ingratiates himself with a wealthy family who may or may not be haunted by a ghost. Directed by Lenny Abrahamson, who made the acclaimed 2015 drama Room, his follow-up is moody and quiet—more creepy than scary—and it arrives at an ending that re-calibrates everything we thought about these flawed people, all while still leaving room for some delicious macabre ambiguity.

(AZ)

Grade bravely and honestly depicts the horror of being a person—not just a teenager—in this world.

(NG)

The Favourite

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos The two rivals in The Favourite may shoot birds for leisure, but their preferred pastime is another type of game; specifically, it’s the power struggle that the lady (Rachel Weisz) and her maid (Emma Stone) engage in to win the affection of the Queen (Olivia Colman) in Yorgos Lanthimos’ 19th-century farce. The trio of actresses, along with Nicholas Hoult, makes a delicious cast who trade barbs with lightning speed and perform physical comedy worthy of a Stooge. The Queen may be in charge, but cattiness reigns.

(TO)

First Man

Directed by Damien Chazelle The lunar landing is as quiet as Neil Armstrong is sedate in Damien Chazelle’s biopic of the astronaut. There are no cheers from Houston or the television audience when contact is achieved; the event is portrayed as soberly momentous rather than rousing. That stillness (as well as the stillness of Ryan Gosling, who plays Armstrong) might have rendered the film boring. But Chazelle proves that restraint can be thrilling, showing there’s more than one way to depict a country that’s over the moon.

(TO)

First Reformed

Directed by Paul Schrader Paul Schrader’s masterpiece starts off as a chamber drama, only to become something more vital and ambitious as it continues. Ethan Hawke gives the performance of

his career as Reverend Toller, whose crisis of faith transforms him from a morose intellectual into a radical man of action. Despair was a common feeling in 2018, and First Reformed suggested that the only recourse is to finally ask bigger, more painful questions.

(AZ)

Free Solo

Directed by Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi “Free soloing” is mountain-climbing alone without any ropes or safety equipment, and Alex Honnold is one of the sport’s top practitioners. This documentary—at times literally breathtaking—features Honnold and his quest to free solo Yosemite’s El Capitan peak.

The photography is phenomenal, showing the climber on sheer precipices hanging by what seem to be only his fingernails as the film crew stays motionless, as if any movement of theirs could doom him instead. You’ll thrillingly, terrifyingly feel the same.

(TO)

If Beale Street Could Talk

Directed by Barry Jenkins An ever-timely story of racial injustice is invigorated by James Baldwin’s words, the lyrical voice of director Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), and the best ensemble cast in a film this year.

The story of two young lovers whose path is interrupted by systemic racism, Jenkins shuffles the timeline to emphasize their strength over their tragedy. The narrative holds, but the film may work best as a series of devastating, lovingly-crafted moments.

(NG)

The Little Stranger

Directed by Lenny Abrahamson Did you know that an Academy Award-nominated filmmaker made a gorgeous psycholog-

Directed by Bing Liu This is the sort of documentary that sneaks up on you. Director Bing Liu follows his fellow skater friends as they confront adulthood without many real prospects. There is a carefree quality to the opening sections—he films their skating with effortless grace—but soon Minding the Gap becomes more probing and rigorous, with Liu confronting hard truths about past trauma. Even if you’ve never picked up a skateboard in your life, these young men are easily relatable because of how they confront their flaws.

(AZ)

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman The brainchild of Phil Lord, the guy who made 21 Jump Street and The LEGO Movie unexpected successes, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a gorgeous, thoughtful crowdpleaser, and easily one of the best comic book movies ever made. Everything in it is somehow a meta-commentary on the superhero genre, and also works as a traditional origin story. Spider-Verse also looks great, with animation that remixes CGI and handdrawn elements into something wholly original. Thanks to its parallel dimensions plot, there are many different Spider-Beings in this film, but that’s also another way of saying there is something here for every type of comic book fan.

(AZ)

Vice

Directed by Adam McKay Christian Bale’s portrayal of former Vice President Dick Cheney isn’t just about makeup, prosthetics, or even weight gain. The voice, the half-smirk, the eyes that tiredly look at others as if they’re the stupidest people on Earth—Bale disappears in the role, giving the most impressive performance of the year.

The film itself, which boasts another terrific turn by Amy Adams as Lynne Cheney, is an entertaining satire from Adam McKay about the opportunistic man who allegedly was the true No. 1 in charge during W.’s disastrous administration. The pair were awful; the movie’s sublime.

The selfie phenomenon, it turns out, isn’t a millennial social disorder. It’s a human behavior that for centuries had been restricted to the only people capable of self-portraiture: artists and professional photographers. Before smartphones opened the floodgates, painters were painting themselves, sculptors were sculpting themselves, and photographers were pulling timer tricks to capture images of themselves. The National Portrait Gallery, as its name implies, is the perfect institution to assemble a collection of American self portraits, and it has—largely from the works of its own collection. The urge to render oneself knows not the bounds of age, race, or gender. These pre-selfie selfies span three-ish spacious rooms, and though the video of a woman crying is irritating, most of the works are delightful. Don’t miss Faith Ringgold’s self-portrait, which comes in the form of a hand-painted quilt. The exhibition is on view to Aug. 18, 2019 at the National Portrait Gallery, 8th and F streets NW. Free.

GWAR

Roaches and GWAR will outlive us all. It’s hard to imagine a more unlikely survivor than these Richmond sci-fi weirdos who continue to thrive nearly 35 years into their existence. Like a shock rock Menudo, the self-proclaimed “Scumdogs of the Universe” have undergone innumerable line up changes over the years including the loss of their beloved lead singer Oderus Urungus— or David Brockie for mere earthlings—to a heroin overdose in 2014. And yet, neither death nor countless musical and cultural shifts over the past four decades has been able to squash them.

In fact, their infestation has only grown to include a GWAR bar, an annual music festival called the GWAR B-Q, and its very own streaming channel. The unenviable task of opening Saturday night’s GWAR show falls to fellow Virginians Iron Reagan. Their brand of crossover thrash might be a little more down to earth than their compatriots in GWAR, but it will surely send more than a few rowdy attendees into orbit by set’s end. GWAR performs with Iron Reagan and Against The Grain at 8 p.m. at 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW. $25. (202) 265-0930. 930.com.

RECOVERED MEMORY: NEW YORK & PARIS 1960–1980

Befitting his twin careers as a journalist and a photographer, Frank Van Riper’s Photoworks exhibition, Recovered Memory: New York & Paris 19601980, offers an extensive sampling of both the photographs and the essays collected in his memoir.

Van Riper dug through the black-and-white images he made in his New York youth and his wanderings in Paris, and, in Proustian fashion, the memories began to flow. Some of Van Riper’s images have a timeless cast, such as the woman grimacing in the Paris subway as she passes by a reproduction of Rodin’s “The Thinker,” or the kids hanging out on a planar, gum-stained sidewalk in New York. But his finest images are those that precisely encapsulate their bygone era: the linotype composing room at the New York Post, populated by men in white, rolled-up shirtsleeves, or McSorley’s Old Ale House, a crowded, sawdust-covered, sweaty haunt in lower Manhattan that Van Riper captured in all its urgent, grainy glory. The exhibition is on view to Jan. 20, 2019 at Glen Echo Photoworks, 7300 MacArthur Blvd., Glen Echo. Free.

We are at a high point of convergence between musical theater and opera. Today, opera companies stage musicals, opera singers appear on Broadway, and theater directors get hired to give opera productions some extra pizzazz. There’s an attitude among some that this cheapens the older genre, but the truth is it just magnifies whatever shamefulness is baked into the source material. Take Miss Saigon: Among the most detested musicals to reach blockbuster status, it is a wartime romance of a Vietnamese girl pimped out to an American G.I. In case the racism was too subtle, its initial 1989 run featured Jonathan Pryce in literal yellowface. But its inspiration is Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, a romantic tale of sex tourism and statutory rape that is a beloved standard of the opera canon. To this day, productions of Butterfly routinely feature white actors made up to look Japanese. This newer production of Miss Saigon may not have changed the musical’s—or Puccini’s—gross fascination with submissive Asian women. But it at least features an Asian cast, a step in the woke direction that the higher art form can’t be bothered with. The show runs to Jan. 13, 2019 at the Kennedy Center Opera House, 2700 F St. NW. $49–$175. (202) 4674600. kennedy-center.org.

KING KONG

From the very first frames of the very first films ever made, it’s been apparent that cinema is transformative. In those early days, audiences were wowed and even terrified of the moving image.

There’s an urban myth about the Lumière brothers’ 1896 silent short The Arrival of a Train: The film caused a panic at its premiere because audiences actually thought a train was going to hit them. The original King Kong, released in 1933, is a prime example of cinema’s enduring legacy.

It’s been remade constantly, with the most recent one—2017’s underrated Kong: Skull Island— rebooting the famed character for a new generation. But the original is a fascinating case study: Parts of it hold up as true cinematic achievement, while other parts come off as colonialist and racist. The stop-motion special effects featuring King Kong and other creatures are iconic—and the artist responsible for it, Willis O’Brien, would go on to inspire countless innovators, including his protégé, Ray Harryhausen. But many have interpreted the film as a racist allegory and cautionary tale about interracial romance. King Kong is still regarded as a cinematic classic, but like many other films of its time, it’s always important to consider how such content has aged, and reconsider how we celebrate these supposed “classics.” The film screens at 8 p.m. at Suns Cinema, 3107 Mt. Pleasant St. NW. $7. sunscinema.com.

THE SOCIAL POWER OF MUSIC

You need not search long to see music’s social power: Mahalia Jackson’s soul-stirring rendition of “Take My Hand, Precious Lord” at Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral; Jimi Hendrix melting the minds of thousands with his psychedelic take on “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Woodstock in 1969; a massive crowd in Manchester spontaneously breaking into Oasis’ “Don’t Look Back in Anger” following a moment of silence for victims of the Manchester Arena bombing. The Social Power of Music, Smithsonian Folkways’ ambitious upcoming box set, aims to capture that power across more than 80 songs that, according to the label, look at how music brings people together. Contained within this exceptional collection are songs of protest, worship, and celebration—tracks that are desperately needed in dark times. The set includes tunes from Folkways’ expansive collection, but also features some new acquisitions, including the legendary Arhoolie Records discography. The label will host a listening session at Songbyrd and offer attendees the opportunity to talk to the folks who put it together. These songs aren’t meant to be listened to alone—they’re meant to be experienced as a community. The event begins at 6 p.m. at Songbyrd Music House, 2477 18th St. NW. Free.

MICROCINEMA: THE FILMS OF KAREN YASINSKY

There’s an adolescent wonder to the films of Karen Yasinsky. The Baltimore-based artist and filmmaker’s work has been exhibited and shown all over the world, from the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo and Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany, to New York’s Museum of Modern Art and D.C.’s own National Gallery of Art. Her work is alluring, beguiling, and altogether brilliant.

Her films are terse and awkward, with kitschy, silent stop-motion animated vignettes that tend to explore a feeling or a mood rather than a straightforward story or theme. Take, for instance, her 1999 short No Place Like Home #1, in which the disembodied legs of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz prance around before encountering a strange man. If that doesn’t make much sense to you, her own statement about the film doesn’t offer much help: “Inspired by all the strangeness and mystery surrounding Dorothy’s predicament in The Wizard of Oz: What happened to her parents? Why has she no friends her own age? Why does her fantasy consist of all those middle aged farm hands? These questions are not part of this animation but things I thought about.”

That’s perhaps the clearest insight into Yasinsky’s work. Great art doesn’t need to be explained.

The event begins at 7 p.m. at Rhizome DC, 6950 Maple St. NW. $10. rhizomedc.org. —Matt Cohen To Dec. 31. $49–$149. (202) 467-4600. kennedy-center.org.

SAVAGELOVE I’m a thirtysomething straight woman married for 16 years. Eighteen months ago, I met a man and there was an immediate attraction. For the first 15 months of our relationship, I was his primary sexual and intimate partner, as both sex and intimacy were lacking in his marriage. (My husband knew of the relationship from the start and is accepting for the most part.) After my lover’s wife found out about me, she suddenly became very responsive to my lover’s sexual and emotional needs. My lover has told his wife that he will not let me go. He has also told me that he is not willing to let his wife go. She isn’t happy about being in a triad relationship, but she allows him to continue seeing me with limitations. I am no longer his primary sex partner, and I have been relegated to the back seat. He claims to love us both, yet his wife and I both struggle knowing the other exists. Recently while out shopping, my lover asked me to help him pick out a Christmas gift for his wife. I got upset because I am in love with him, and I have made him my priority (over my husband), but I am not his priority. I love this man, and we feel we are soul mates. My lover has said that if we fall apart, he will have to find a new secondary partner because his wife can never give him the soulful fulfillment he needs. Should I continue in this relationship?

—Soul Mate Avoids Choice Knowingly You complain about being relegated to the back seat, SMACK, but it’s your husband whose existence only comes up in parenthetical asides. You also describe this relationship as a triad when there are four people involved (you, your lover, your lover’s wife, and your husband), which technically makes this a quad.

And from the sound of things, only one member of this messy quad seems happy—your lover, the guy who refuses to make you a “priority” over his wife.

And while you’ve convinced yourself that your lover feels as strongly for you as you do for him—“we feel we are soul mates”—it kindasorta sounds to me like you may be projecting, SMACK. Because in addition to asking you to pick out Christmas gifts for his wife, your lover and alleged soul mate regards you as expendable and replaceable. And he’s told you as much: He intends to “find a new secondary partner” if you two part because his wife doesn’t “give him the soulful fulfillment he needs.” That’s not how people talk about their soul mates, and it’s certainly not something a guy says to someone he regards as his soul mate. Soul mates are typically told they’re special and irreplaceable, but your guy sees you as one of many potential seconds out there, and therefore utterly replaceable.

Here’s what you ought to do: You aren’t interested in being your lover’s secondary partner (nor are you much interested in being your

husband’s wife), so you’ll have to call your lover’s bluff. And the only card you have to play— and it’s a weak hand (all hands with just one card are)—is to dump your lover unless he leaves his wife for you. Success rests on the outside chance your lover was bluffing when he said he’d replace you, but I suppose it’s possible he regards you as the irreplaceable one, and only said those hurtful things to make you think he wouldn’t choose you when you are the one he would’ve chosen all along. If it turns out that this was the case, SMACK, you’ll wind up with your soul mate … who happens to be kindasorta cruel and manipulative.

Calling your lover’s bluff—ending a relationship that, in its current form, brings you no joy—is your only hope of having this guy to yourself. But the likelier outcome is that you’ll be left alone (with, um, your husband).

—Dan Savage

Soul mates are typically told they’re special and irreplaceable, but your guy sees you as one of many potential seconds out there, and therefore utterly replaceable.

My boyfriend and I met at a bondage party a year ago. He’s not into bondage (he tagged along with a kinky friend). We hit it off in the chill-out room and started seeing each other. He told me it was okay for me to keep going to bondage parties and seeing some guys I play with one-on-one. Then right after we moved in together, he said he doesn’t want me playing with anyone else because we are in love.

Which means I can’t get tied up at all anymore because he has zero interest in bondage. He can’t see why I’m upset, and I’m not sure what to do.

—Boy In New Drama So now that you’re in love, and now that you’ve signed a lease, and now that you’re trapped, BIND, now—NOW—your vanilla boyfriend yanks back the accommodation that convinced you to date him in the first place? There’s only one thing you can do: DTMFA. —DS I am 30 and male, and I have been with my girl-

friend for five years. For a slew of reasons (we have almost no interests/hobbies in common, our personalities are completely different, we aren’t sexually compatible), I have decided to end it. She’s a good, smart, well educated person for whom I wish only the best. I’m thinking of breaking up with her sometime this week— or halfway through next year. I know you believe someone should tell a partner about these sorts of feelings ASAP to avoid robbing them of time they could have spent fixing the situation or moving on. Something inside me tells me that my case is different. My girlfriend is a graduate student in a non-tech/STEM field (read: hard to find jobs) and has a decent amount of school debt. We also have a dog. We live in a city where the rents are high and it’s harder to find a place that will allow dogs. (She will definitely be taking the dog.) The thing is, she would almost certainly want to move out immediately if we broke up.

I’m worried that if she tried to absorb the financial hit of a breakup, it might torpedo her education and life plans. I am at a loss for what to do. She’s leaving in a week to visit her family for a month—should I dump her before then so she can lean on them? Should I wait until she graduates but dodge questions about where I’m willing to move if she gets a job offer somewhere else?

—Deciding Ultimately Means Pain As a general rule, one should never drag out an inevitable breakup. We should break up with people promptly to spare our exes the humiliation of thinking back over the last few months or (God forbid!) the last few years and recalling every painfully ambiguous or deceitfully upbeat conversation about Our Shared Future.

Another good reason to break up with someone promptly: A person (not the person) your ex could spend the rest of their life with might cross their path two months from now—and if they’re still with you then or still reeling from a very recent breakup, they won’t say yes (oldfashioned) or swipe right (newfangled).

But there are exceptions to every rule, DUMP, and I think your case qualifies. And as with many exceptions to many rules, your exception honors the spirit of the rule itself.

Both reasons I cite for breaking up with someone promptly—to spare your soon-to-be ex’s feelings, to get out of the way of your soonto-be ex’s future—are about being considerate of your soon-to-be ex. And that’s just what you’re doing: You want to end this relationship now, but you’re going to wait six months because you don’t want to derail your soon-tobe-ex girlfriend’s education or career prospects. So out of consideration for her, DUMP, you should coast for a bit longer.
