A group of artists are redefining how we see blight and abandoned spaces on the near Eastside — and the responsibility that artists have if a neighborhood becomes gentrified. A preview of the two burlesque shows that you don’t want to miss this fall is tucked away inside. Ah, and no big deal, but we got to chat with the literary legend Joyce Carol Oates.

BARACK OBAMA AND WILE E. COYOTE REPUBLICANS
hen Barack Obama leaves the Oval Office, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and other conservatives will face a difficult challenge. They will have to start thinking for themselves. For more than six years, Pence and other Republicans have used a single star to set their course. Whatever the president of the United States supported, they opposed. Whatever the president was for, they were against. Obama set the agenda. They reacted. Their hunger to oppose Barack Obama at every turn and in every moment has prodded them to reduce American conservatism, which has a proud and often noble history, from a consistent system of thought down to a series of reflexes – spasms, almost. Their knee-jerks have led them at times to sacrifice the interests of the people they are supposed to serve – by delaying or denying constituents health care coverage so they can shake their fists some more at Obamacare – and at other times to betray previously held bedrock principles. One of the core tenets of conservatism – and particularly of the strain of conservatism from which Mike Pence often says he springs – is a respect for limits. Conservatives are supposed to want clearly defined limits on government power. By that, they mean not just the overall power of government, but also

the power within each branch or office of government. There are supposed to be limits to the powers of the president, Congress, the courts, the federal government and state governments.
John Krull is director of Franklin College’s Pulliam School of Journalism, host of “No Limits” WFYI 90.1 Indianapolis and publisher of TheStatehouseFile.com.
presidents should not dictate to Congress and courts should not legislate. The federal government should not assume powers reserved for the states. And the states should not attempt to shape foreign policy. Uh-oh. On Sept. 8, 15 Republican governors (four of them GOP presidential candidates) signed and sent a letter to President Obama proclaiming their opposition to the Iran nuclear deal. Pence was among them; in fact, his office said in a press release that he led the effort. The letter doesn’t mince words. “We write today to express our opposition to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, generFor more than six years, Pence and ally referred to as the other Republicans have used a single Iran nuclear agreement, which your administrastar to set their course. Whatever tion recently negotiated with Iran, the P5+1 and the president of the United States European Union. supported, they opposed. “If implemented, this agreement would lead to the lifting of United All these roles, classic conservative States nuclear-related sanctions on Iran thought contends, are supposed to be without any guarantee that Iran’s drive defined and restrained because it is toward obtaining a nuclear weapon will through that definition and that restraint be halted or even slowed. Iran is a state that liberty is preserved. sponsor of terrorism, and it should not That’s why, conservatives believe, be permitted any pathway toward ob-
taining a nuclear weapon, now or ever.” There are a couple of ways to respond to this. The first is to note that none of the governors, including Pence, who signed the letter has much experience in foreign policy. Pence was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, but it was while he was in Congress that he famously compared a market in Baghdad where 88 people had been killed by a suicide bomber just weeks earlier to “a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime.” And the fact that these governors aren’t master diplomats or sharp foreign affairs analysts is okay, because foreign policy isn’t supposed to be part of their list of responsibilities. That brings us to the second, more interesting way to consider this. This group of governors – and Pence, in particular – loves to complain about federal government overreach. Their devotion to limits on government power seems to have no limits. Except, of course, when it comes to opposing Obama. Then they are willing to blur lines or erase them altogether. In the not so distant future, Barack Obama no longer will be president. When he leaves office, he will take away with him the organizing principle for much of conservatism and the Republican Party. Because they spent so much time opposing Obama and so little time shaping and articulating their own vision for the country, they won’t be well-positioned to offer new leadership to a nation that may well be eager for new leadership. Conservatives such as Mike Pence can’t blame Barack Obama for that. They will have done it to themselves. n

GETTING THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM O
ver the last 14 years life has changed personally and globally. Many of those changes have occurred because of the events of September 11, 2001. Personally, I’m no longer married to an abusive asshole. But I remember waking up to the murmur of a news broadcast from the other room. The aforementioned abusive asshole was sitting on the couch watching the first tower burn. I remember the cold feeling of dread that tingled down my body from the base of my neck as he stared at the screen, his usually cold eyes riveted to the screen. He told me that the world was coming to an end. I’d missed the first plane. But I was awake in time to see the second plane hit. Even though I was already scared, afraid that whatever had happened with the first plane was bigger than a really bad accident, watching an enormous jet crash into something as big as one of

WHAT HAPPENED? Schneider opts of out re-election The man who authored Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) has decided to step away from the political arena. Sen. Scott Schneider announced Saturday that he will not seek re-election in 2016. “It has been my honor Schneider and privilege to represent the people of Senate District 30 in the Indiana State Senate the past seven years,” said Schneider in a released statement. ”However, our family business is growing and expanding. I will need to focus all of my time and energy on the business my father started 50 years ago.” Schneider is the vice-president of sales and marketing for Mister Ice of Indianapolis. Schneider announced in the winter of 2014 that he would seek to pass RFRA in Indiana in the 2015 legislative session. He and fellow senators Dennis Kruse and Brent Steele authored the bill that eventually passed amid a national outcry of discrimination against the LGBTQ community.

— AMBER STEARNS Appeals court upholds ruling on Marion Co. judge elections An appeals court judge has ruled that the process used to elect new judges in Marion County is unconstitutional. The ACLU of Indiana filed the lawsuit in 2012 on behalf of Common Cause Indiana. It challenged the process of electing new judges. State law requires that each major party nominate candidates for only one-half of judicial vacancies. The ACLU of Indiana took up arms against the statute because they claimed it deprived voters of their right to vote for qualified candidates. The 7th Circuit court ruling criticized the new process, reasoning that Marion County voters had been deprived of any real choice in the election of candidates. At this point there has been no indication what reforms might be instituted to ensure the public’s right to vote for qualified new judges. Pence pens letters about Iran deal Gov. Mike Pence is one of 15 governors who signed a letter to President Barack Obama Tuesday declaring opposition to the Iran nuclear deal – or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The letter states that they “intend to ensure that the various Pence state-level sanctions that are now in effect remain in effect.” “The Iran nuclear agreement negotiated by the Obama Administration is a bad deal and should be rejected,” Pence said in a statement. “While President Obama plans to lift nuclear-related federal sanctions on Iran, in Indiana we intend to maintain our state-level sanctions, and I have made that clear to the president today.” Along with the joint letter to President Obama, Pence also sent a letter to the Indiana Congressional delegation urging opposition to this agreement in Congress. — THE STATEHOUSE FILE 8 NEWS // 09.16.15 - 09.23.15 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO

n AMVETS Post 99 volunteers began to bring out extra chairs, rushing to unfold them for the unexpected number of people who came for the 11th annual Stand Down event held Sept. 10. Watching as each extra seat was filled was Deborah Des Vignes, Vice President of Marketing of Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation (HVAF). Des Vignes leaned over to say that this was probably double the size of the crowd compared to last year’s numbers. Stand Down originated in San Diego, Calif., as a place for homeless veterans to come and receive help as they cope with postwar life. According to Dr. Charles Haenlein, the president and CEO of HVAF of Indiana, the title of the event actually derives from a military concept. While troops were overseas, quite frequently, they would go extended periods of time with-
out bathing and rest. To “stand down” denoted a time when the troops were able to go to a safe place to bathe, rest, eat and send letters safely while another organization acted as an enclosure to protect the troops. Des Vignes said that there are more than 350 homeless veterans in Marion County each night, which doesn’t include the approximately 200 who stay in shelters. Haenlein said that the number has increased five percent since last year. “The number of homeless veterans in Indianapolis is not going away and we’re doing our best to bring them in and offer them services,” Des Vignes said. “But it’s important to raise awareness and let people know that there are people sleeping out on the street still each night.” Post 99 was lined with tables, each acting as a station to offer free goods, advice and help to some of the homeless and near-homeless veterans of the Indianapolis area. While men and women made their way to each station inside, others
were having their haircut for free outside as well as speaking with professionals for employment advice. Whitney Hamilton, a 59-year-old Vietnam veteran believes that seeking help rather than tackling addiction, financial trouble and postwar life alone will help to decrease the number of homeless veterans. “Everybody pretty much knows if they got a problem,” Hamilton said. Hamilton sees value in the idea of knowing that veterans don’t have deal with recovery by themselves. He says that “breaking pride” and getting help in their recovery will put them back on track. “But you’ve got to be willing,” Hamilton said. “You’ve got to be honest. You’ve got to be ready to do it and do some work.” Hamilton is no stranger to the recovery process. Serving in Korea as a 17-yearold, Hamilton was faced with new experiences, including drug experimentation. On the surface, the Vietnam veteran seemed to have balanced footing in his >>>

<<< postwar life. He worked with General Motors, eventually starting his own mechanic business, as well. However in his personal life, Hamilton was struggling with an addiction to the drugs he’d experimented with at only 17, eventually losing everything and having to sleep in the back of his truck at night. “I was addicted for a long time,” Hamilton said. “I know a lot of these guys, I see some of them still going through the process and I believe that to see somebody that’s making it, it’ll give them some hope that there is a way out.” According to Hamilton, even if veterans haven’t established with themselves that they’ve got a problem, they can come to events like Stand Down for support and free necessities, like haircuts, hygiene products and clothes. “There was one guy who came out here and got a card and kept that card until he hit his bottom and pulled that card out and got him some help,” Hamilton said. According to Hamilton, he goes to his meetings and has a sponsor, in addition to sponsoring others — something he never thought he would be able to do. “That keeps me clean and sober, you know, by helping somebody else and just giving back,” Hamilton said. Being clean for 14 months has inspired Hamilton and given him the desire to help people in similar situations he found himself. “That’s just my desire,” Hamilton said. “I just want to help them, but I can’t save the world. I wish I could.” While Hamilton has had a positive experience in his recovery, he sees a need for more places that are able to help the homeless community — not just veterans — suffering from mental illnesses. “There’s a lot of mental health that
will provide a safe location for homeless men and women over the age of 18 that are unable to gain access to emergency shelter options due to active substance abuse.” Des Vignes believes the unique challenges and circumstances — in addition to PTSD and mental disorders — are some of the reasons why veterans may find themselves homeless after their service. “We see many veterans who are in recovery… They’re still sifting through, they’re not committed to getting the help they need,” Des Vignes said. “If you’re a homeless “If you’re a homeless veteran then veteran then you need assisyou need assistance.” tance,” Haenlein said. “You need to get to HVAF.” As for Hamilton, he partic— DR.

BY SA R A H MU R R E L L S M U RRELL@N U VO . N ET
nce in awhile, you get to be reminded as a NUVO writer that you have the best job in the world, like when we get to do this allencompassing thing where we spend several weeks talking about only one thing. Sometimes it’s sex, sometimes it’s pizza, or weed, or beer. Whatever the vice, we’ll devote a whole issue to it once a year. It’s pretty great. But this beer issue is special to us, not because of the fun or the yearly novelty, but because NUVO has grown close to several brewers and brewing friends, and we’ve gotten to know
12 COVER STORY // 09.16.15 - 09.23.15 // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // NUVO
the brewing community. Whether they realize it or not, craft beer has brought Naptowners together like nothing — not the Colts, or the Pacers or IndyCar — ever has before. So it’s a double pleasure to be able to make an issue that showcases that community, and in this issue, we’re celebrating the Indy brewing community’s storied history. You might think we’re a little obsessed, and you’d be right. But it only seemed fair to devote so much of our energy to tracing the lineage of the local community, as they have put all their energy into filling the city with amazing beer. Also in this issue, you’ll find new ways to mix your beer into cocktails, you’ll find out more
about how to taste beer, and you’ll have some good resources on where to start when you finally decide to start making it on your own. Cut out our flavor wheel, which will help you narrow down the distinct flavors and flavor types you’ll smell and taste at your next brewery outing. Or you can take a class with our interviewee, Wes Martin at Great Fermentations. Maybe you’re gluten free and you want to know where to find the best G-free beers. Guess what? We’ve got that too. Then flip over to the food section and see how to incorporate booze into your cooking to make it all that much more delicious. Cheers! n
COCKTAILS FOOTBALL SUNDAY PUNCH This is basically just a beer-effervesced whiskey sour, with frozen lemonade mix swapped out for the sweet and sour mix and bourbon for added depth. This recipe is written for a pitcher-size batch to share, but you can get the same results with a 1:3:1 ratio of bourbon, beer and lemonade. • 12 oz. Bourbon • 36 oz. light beer • 12 oz. frozen lemonade
Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and stir. Makes 6-8 servings.
BEERITA Once again, a few cans of light beer added to this mix really lightens up the sweetness, mellows out the lime and makes this, at least in my opinion, a vast improvement on the syrupy original. Again, this one is for a large group. If you want to get a little fancy, add a splash of Cointreau to each ice-filled cup. • 1 750ml bottle of good tequila • 8 light beers • 2 cans of limeade concentrate • Juice from 2-4 limes
Makes 6-8 servings.
BEERMOSA, BLACK VELVET All these cocktails play on the combination of juice, champagne and beer. Cutting stout with some champagne makes it effervescent and rich at the same time. Adding soda to your beer makes it a refreshing radler/shandy, and swapping it for bubbles in a mimosa makes it less astringent. Beermosa: • 5 oz Hefeweizen, blonde, Belgian or Farmhouse ale • 5 oz orange juice Radler/Shandy: • 5 oz light-bodied beer • 5 oz lemon-lime soda or ginger ale Black Velvet: • 5 oz stout • 5 oz champagne
STOUT FLOAT Get a little buzz with your dessert. Why not? You can lose yourself in combinations here, but I would suggest getting ice cream without chunks, for obvious reasons. • 10 oz porter • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
The
JUST ADD BEER
In the last few years, interest has been growing in the use of beer in cocktails. The concept of mixing beer with other beer or booze has been around for centuries. It’s an easy way to get some lightness and bubbles without all the alcohol of champagne, mellow out the sweetness of a margarita, or get a buzz from your ice cream float. Whatever you’re drinking, even iced coffee, you can probably make it better by adding a little beer. n

RED EYE Sometimes a Bloody Mary is the taste that you want, but it’s a little too boozy. Swapping the vodka for beer makes it a much gentler drink for a morning after on the porch. On a nasty Sunday morning, this recipe is medicine. Red Eye • ¼ C tomato juice or bloody mary mix • 1 T fresh lime juice • 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce • 1-2 dashes hot sauce, or to taste • 12 oz light beer For the rim: • ¼ tsp salt • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
DUBLIN ICED COFFFEE This recipe is everything I love to drink, all in one crazy downer-upper combo beverage. Mix all but the last ingredients together with ice, then pour your heavy cream over top. • 2 oz. strong cold-brew coffee • 2 oz. stout • 1½ oz.

The many splendors of beer flavor G
SEE BEER FLAVOR WHEEL, LEFT
“sour,” all of which occupy the “sour” part of the flavor wheel. And each is distinct: acidic is a bright acid, acetic is like a vinegar-like acidity, and “sour” is a yeasty sourness, like you might get in sourdough bread. You can also use the beer wheel to help you with beer pairings if you plan to do a fancy dinner and serve some beers to go along with it. Our own Jolene Ketzenberger finds olives to be the best food pairing, with the salty brine of the olive helping to bring out the beer’s characteristics, and he agrees, although “I like olives with or without beer,” he said. Overall, though, Martin says you can’t go wrong with salt. “Salt pairs well with most beer styles,” he says. But Martin is, like most of the beer community, all about experimentation and enjoyment. At the end of the day, he says, you should eat food that you like, just like you should drink beer that you like. In other words, there’s no wrong way to drink beer (unless you’re on an episode of Jackass, in which case there are many wrong ways to drink beer). “We were having a camp fire and someone said, ‘Oh my god, you have to try a s’more with this porter. And it did bring out the deep roasty-ness of the porter.” “You know, pizza and beer go really well together. I like a really good IPA and a really good pizza. It’s the bread and the salt, and the bitterness of the IPA really meshes well with that.” You heard it here first, people: an actual beer expert is giving you permission to Just having a greater buy a pizza and use it as an educaunderstanding of beer is good tional tool. If you really want to get deep for anyone who enjoys beer. into it, it might be time to start brewing. Martin tells us you can get into it and make pretty darn good beer for about $200-$300 in equipMartin teaches introductory and ment. That amount of cash means you’ll all-grain brewing classes, and this multibe a step above disposable plastic crap, layered tasting experience is one he tries to get his students to value. “Our sense of taste and you’ll have bottling-quality beer to share with friends. Although, Martin and smell are so intertwined, and when warns, you really can’t understand how you’re using hops, you’ve got bittering hops important sanitation is until you brew a and aroma hops, however, the two are so intertwined, we spend a lot of time thinking few batches of beer. “The number-one problem homeabout the aromatics and not just the taste. brewers will deal with is sanitation,” he With beer tastings, you’ve got to swallow says. That’s because only a few microbes the beer to get the full flavor. Smell it, take can make the difference between beer a taste, swallow it and exhale. Then you get and a something that tastes like soy those aromatics both before and after.” The flavor wheel is enormously complex, sauce. And there are yeasts and microbes floating around us constantly, which with aromas ranging from the chemical means keeping a tight airlock on your (acetone) to the the fruity (bananas or beer as it ferments. But don’t ask us citrus), which is why a second wheel was about it, ask him! Turn to page 18 to get introduced. The first was meant more for the full rundown of brewing classes you brewers and industry insiders, but the avercan take, and go online to print copies of age layperson doesn’t necessarily know the the beer flavor wheel. n difference between “acidic,” “acetic” and reat Fermentations has been an institution for the homebrewing community for years. They’re known for employing some of the most knowledgeable staff on the subject of turning water into beer. So I called up Wes Martin to get some background on how to grow your beer-tasting palate, and how they use the beer wheel to determine flavors. First introduced by Dr. Morten Meilgaard in the ’70s, this flavor wheel has undergone some changes to be a little more consumer-friendly. Either version, though, is pretty intimidating. There’s a lot of labels and names, and it seems like a lot to take on. Martin says there’s no reason to be afraid, as this is a helpful tool for anyone with a general interest in beer. “Anyone from your casual beer-drinking, all the way to someone to has an interest in making beer, or even getting involved in the profession of beer. Just having a greater understanding of beer is good for anyone who enjoys beer.” It’s obvious that smell plays a huge roll in the way things taste. Meilgaard’s original beer flavor wheel was separated by flavor and aroma, the latter of which took up more than 70 percent of the wheel. A beer might taste “off” on the palate, but smell alone often points more directly at the offending chemicals.

The unique challenge of making gluten free beer I
B Y R IT A K O H N RKO HN @N U VO . N ET
s gluten free beer the up-and-coming brewing industry niche as part of the overall ‘free-from’ food industry? Based on market research, with 1 percent of people living in the U.S.A. diagnosed with some form of celiac disease, the answer is “yes.” Add to that the growing number of people who are turning to a Paleo diet, which eliminates grains, and that means the market is growing and will continue to grow — at least for the foreseeable future. Some major national and international craft brewers are developing recipes to brew beer without barley and wheat, and yet have a profile akin to brews with traditional grains using carefully selected combinations of sorghum, corn, millet, rice and buckwheat. This means brewers have to find the right variety of yeast and hops to properly interact with the non-grain ingredients. Essentially, it’s working around centuries of perfecting water, grain/mash, yeast and hops combinations for the traditional styles in the Ales, Lagers and Wheat categories for a new kind of beverage. Before the appearance of gluten free beers — pioneered by European breweries — people with gluten intolerance opted for hard cider (made with apples) or mead (made with honey). Many still do. Then came gluten free beer. The first I tasted I
finished drinking only out of politeness to my hosts. And therein lies the essence of expectation and palate. Beer is beer because each style has certain qualities that make it distinctive and we each have our preferences. Admittedly, when I taste a gluten free Pale Ale I want it to taste like a traditional Pale Ale, with modifications for a brewer’s craft — which makes for a brewery’s brand. Generally, gluten free beers lean toward profiles that feature a lighter body than traditionally brewed craft beer. They have fruity accents and a crisp, cider-like finish. When I asked a half dozen people whose only option is gluten free what their favorite brand is, I got six different names. When I asked six people who can drink regular or gluten free, the majority said Green’s Discovery Amber Ale, imported from England, with one touting Omission Pale Ale and Lager and the other making a case for Dogfish Head Tweason Ale. Favorites are based on the same reasons we have favorites for traditional brews. Glutenfreeindy.com lists most of the restaurants, bars and brewpubs that offer bottled gluten free beer. (No gluten free is on draft to avoid any chance of contamination with wheat, barley or rye ingredients.) I was told, if you don’t see a choice on the menu, ask; “GF” beer might not yet have gotten listed. Many liquor stores/bottle shops and health food stores carry one or more brands, based on their customer

choice. Across the board, I was told it is important to have turnover so as to have a fresh supply. While homebrewers are making gluten free beer, they’re generally getting supplies online. Anita Johnson at Great Fermentations said, “We don’t feel that we can certify that a kit made here can be GF; we are all probably covered in gluten and it really isn’t a large enough market to worry about. We do sell rice syrup solids, sorghum and gluten free yeast that people use to create their own GF beers. We also carry Clarity Ferm from White Labs. This product reduces the amount of glutenin a beer to levels that make the beer safe for some with gluten allergies to drink. We refer brewers to the Gluten Free Facebook page for GF recipes.” To date, no Indiana brewery is dedicating a secluded space to gluten free brewing. New Grist, a gold color Pilsner Style beer with a fruity aroma created by Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee, was the first U.S. brewery to gain gluten free federal government label approval. Russell J. Klisch was issued a patent for his gluten free process on Sept. 13, 2007. New Grist was on the Oct. 2008 Hoosier Beer Geeks posting of GF beers available in Indianapolis. Since that listing with five GF brands the market has exploded worldwide. A random check of other people’s lists yielded some 30 GF brands many of which are available in Indiana. n

TOLERATION ALE
REDBRIDGE
This is Anheuser-Busch’s gluten free beer. Like A-B’s flagship brand, Budweiser, Redbridge is an American lager. It’s brewed with sorghum instead of barley.
GREEN’S
Green’s, which is brewed in Belgium, offers three different ales: an amber called Discovery, a dubbel called Endeavour, and a tripel named Quest. These beers are brewed with a blend of four grains: millet, rice, buckwheat (no, not that Buckwheat), and sorghum.
BARD’S TALE
This brewery was started by a couple of celiacs who are, in their words, “ardent beer-lovers.” Bard’s Tale is brewed in the American lager style and is made with sorghum.
NEW GRIST
This beer, which is billed as a “session ale,” is brewed by Milwaukee brewery Lakefront. It’s brewed with sorghum and rice extract.
Brewed by Hambleton Ales in the UK, this beer is described as “a tawny ale with aromas of Cascade, Liberty and Challenger hops. Specially prepared dark sugars provide a full-bodied initial sweetness giving way to pronounced fruit and hop character with a strong citrus finish.” It’s not clear what grains are used to brew this beer, but it is indeed gluten free.

Exactly as it says, they’ll teach you the basics of how to get your beer kegged and ready to serve. Carbonation is a little more tricky than it sounds, and you’ll need a little direction from the pros. Worry not! The Great Fermentations people can help you with that, too. $15.

We believe in you, brilliant city leaders of Whitestown!
Live music plus a whole bunch of food and booze is going to make this one worth the drive or bike to this historic neighborhood. No word yet on which local brews are going to be served, but given the nearby options, it’s going to be a good one.
• Sept. 19, 1 p.m. Whitestown Municipal Complex 6210 S. 700 E. (Whitestown), $35-55
3rd Annual Pumpkin Beer Fest We could not be more thrilled to bring the 3rd Annual Pumpkin Beer Fest to Indianapolis! In 2013 we had a hunch that the city would be interested in this type of event but the support and enthusiasm over the past 2 years has blown us away! In addition to pumpkin brews, look for great music, fun fall activities, and last (but certainly not least!) a few brews tapped out of pumpkins. • Oct. 3, 2-6 p.m. Union Jack Pub, 924 Broad Ripple Ave. $35 advance, $40 door
• Herron-Morton Historic Park 1929 N. Alabama St., $10
Upland’s Indianapolis Oktoberfest Upland has long been supplying central Indiana with fabulous beer, and hosts one of the best Oktoberfest parties in the state. Now, you don’t have to drive to Bloomington or Upland to get in on the action, with a beertastic party coming to Military Park in just a couple of weeks. There will be a bunch of food trucks there serving everything from sliders to cupcakes to pretzels, and you can plan on enjoying good music too. Prost! • Sept. 26, 1 p.m.-9 p.m. Military Park, 601 W. New York St. uplandbeer.com, $5-10 MORE ONLINE

middle part of the state per se — we dropped in Three Floyds and New Albanian since their reach has been felt in a very powerful manner here in the Capital region. Lafayette, B-town, Brown County, Columbus, Valpo and Fort Wayne get some love here, too. (Two breweries of note we mention are, alas, no more — but their legacies live on.) Now comes the part where we cover our asses: we’ll bet that there’s an error or an oversight in this thing despite our best efforts. Luckily, you can bug us at editors@ nuvo.net and hip us to what we missed. And we’re certain the list will expand as our tastes evolve. Cheers! Prost! Salud! L’chaim! Na zdrowie! — Ed Wenck

If you don’t find your favorite brewer and/or brewery on the big ol’ chart in the middle of this week’s NUVO, check here. With a BIG assist from Rita Kohn, we’ve done our best to aggregate the info on everyone who’s mixed water, malt, grain and yeast since the Hills launched BRBP in 1990. We’ve included founding dates and the info we had on brewers past and present — even noting, in some cases, who’s Head Brewer (HB) and who’s second banana (AB). We’ve ordered the breweries chronologically by year. If multiple origin stories begin in the same year, we revert to alphabetical ordering (this also applies if info on dates was not available when we went to press). You’ll note a few breweries we chose to list aren’t planted in the

great many Central Indiana brewers have worked at several breweries during their tenures in and around the Circle City. NUVO’s Rita Kohn has been keeping track of these jumps on a big piece of paper, a handwritten document she calls “The Begats.” We took that sheet of “Begats” and broke it into two parts: the “tree” (or chart) you see here and a Brewery Index on page 21. If you don’t see a fave listed here — greats like Liz Laughlin or Caleb Staton, for example — odds are good they’re in the index. Why’s that, you ask? Alas, we only have so much space — which is why your intrepid NUVO editors have only been able to show the most basic of local craft beer cross-pollinations. In this

Levitt, who also worked at BRBP. There are other connections that are found wanting due to space limitations: one example is Greg Emig’s trip to Aberdeen (1999) to join Joe Emig, which in turn sent Sam Strupeck to join Shoreline founder Dave Strupeck after that brewery opened in 2005. Additionally, Alex Peterson interned for Scotty Wise before attaining his headbrewer’s gig at the Eastside’s Blind Owl, which opened this year. (As for the critically acclaimed Three Floyds [founded in 1996], the Floyds have pretty much created a closed-circuit of brewing.) Again, we only had so much room, and if you feel some critical connection was overlooked, please drop us a line at editors@nuvo.net, and we’ll be adjusting this sucker in the digital universe — consider it a work in progress, as is Indiana’s craft beer landscape. n

chart, you’ll find a gaggle of brewers who either jumped ship to brew elsewhere or even start their own production house. It’s hardly complete, but we think it’s a nice start at showing how brewers have moved about in Central Indiana, sharing their passion, ideas and knowledge among one another in a big, statewide liquid lab. Again, this chart doesn’t include ALL the brewers that have worked at each joint, manning the mash tuns. There are, quite frankly, dozens of incredibly talented people that have had one stop in Indy before sitting tight, moving on or hanging up their boots for good. Some of the smaller “trees” aren’t included, either: Jeff Eaton’s Barley Island (founded 1999) saw John Lang hop (pun intended) to David Waldman’s Triton Brewing after it opened in 2011, and Jeff Mease’s Bloomington Brewing Co.

BEYOND BLIGHT
The art project that’s using abandoned homes as a studio, gallery and point of conversion
Casey Roberts Privileged Moments (with everything in a row) w Through Sept. 25. The title of Casey Roberts’ new solo show, Privileged Moments has something to do with a copy of “Cluster’s 1976 LP Sowiesoso” that “came in from Karma records on the eastside of Indianapolis” and a white buffalo being born on a farm in Ohio during a partial solar eclipse, according to his accompanying test for this exhibition. You figure it out. But creating a contemporary personal mythology seems to be part and parcel of Roberts’ art. Part whimsical, part prophetic. The real pleasure in looking at his work is his artistry and inventiveness using the cyanotype printing process — which results in his canvases having a bluish hue — to create deceptively simple images. His cyanotype drawing “Sanctuary (flooded in golden light)” shows a moonlit watery landscape, with waves rustling the water, low blue cliffs in the backdrop and in the center of it all a snowy egret (or a heron). His works hearkens back to Chinese landscape painting and Japanese printmaking but very contemporary artistic processes are also employed along with his very contemporary sensibility. For example, in order to create the effect of rippling waves in the aforementioned work, he sprayed with an auto paint gun. But, whatever the process, Roberts’ work rewards contemplation and might make you think of your own personal mythology, your own place in the world. And Roberts has 3D work here as well. His collaboration with ceramic artist Barbara Zech allows him to transfer his imagery onto beautifully crafted ceramic vases and there are many examples of their collaboration in this show. — DAN GROSSMAN Harrison Center for the Arts, FREE

eredith Brickell had one foot hoisted up on the flatbed of a small pickup truck to give her a better look at the cabinet laying in the back. I pulled up to the abandoned lot that makes an oversized back yard for the abandoned house where we were meeting. Brickell saw me as I put the car in park and hopped down to introduce herself. We made our introductions and walked up onto the concrete slab porch, where she kicked open two pink lawn chairs for us to use while we talked. It was far cooler outside than in, where there was no electricity. “We were interested in thinking about these spaces in a creative context,” says Brickell gesturing with her thumb to the abandoned house to our backs. The “pilot house” she pointed to might be the first of many in Indianapolis — a blighted building that is being turned into a work/gallery space for artists. The program (a labor of love by its founder, Brickell) is called the House Life Project, and is a collaboration between Brickell, Katy Brett (Renew Indianapolis) and Paula Katz (iMOCA). All three are hoping to use points of urban abandonment as a community art center. Originally Renew was working with the city on a demolition program to try and find a way to reuse materials from the sites. As time went on, they realized that there might be life left in some of these houses. Brickell’s proposal seemed to fit. And Brickell wants to do a lot more than paint the walls white for a one night show. In fact, she doesn’t want to paint at all. Brickell is often asked whether she is fixing up the house. She isn’t, for the record. She and five other artists are working on individual installations, all inspired by spending time in the house and the near eastside neighborhood. Right now they have one objective: to show others that the house is more than boarded up windows and an extra lawn to be mowed. They see it as life that’s brimming with potential. At the moment there are no long-term plans for the pilot house. Someone could walk in and buy it today. The House Life Project is neither encouraging nor

discouraging a sale. Renew Indianapolis, however, wants to see the property sold as soon as possible. This specific home (804 Eastern Ave.) happens to be ranked a 10 out of 10 — at least as far as abandoned places go. The two-story, three-bedroom home has a solid foundation and structure, just no running water or electricity. Currently there are six artists who are using the house: Meredith Brickell, Brent Aldrich, Shelley Given, Katie Hudnall, Wes Janz and Wil Marquez. “All of the artists have a history, in their own work, that intersects in some way with one of the many issues that this kind of a site raises,” says Brickell. Brickell, whose background is in ceramics, has been busy making cups on the front porch for much of the summer. The artists started hosting “social hours” where they would hang out at the house on Tuesday nights with neighbors, making art. “The cup is such a ubiquitous object,” says Brickell leaning forward in her lawn chair. “It’s something very intimate. It’s something we hold

... What is [the] potential of this kind of a space in the interim ... before the market is interested, is there a way to change the dynamic of this space and use it in a different kind of way than is expected?” She, and many others, are disturbed by the gentrification that comes when artists and the market turn their gaze to an underdeveloped part of town. “There are so many available houses in this part of the city,” says Brickell. “We definitely want people to move in here, but does that mean that it is good for everybody ... I don’t know the answer to that question, but that is one of the questions that this project is trying to sit with for a little bit.” Gentrification can be a tipping point, and has been, for many Indy neighborhoods. Fountain Square is the most popular example: an area where the wave of artists moving in was the first nudge for the market to price out local residents. “Artists have long been connected to ... this idea of gentrification,” says Brickell. “Developers know that if you can get artists into an area ... That can bring in “There is an ethical responsibility for higher rent occupants.

A prequel to A Patriot’s Peril. The story of a young criminal defense lawyer dealing with a marital breakup; a legal secretary hoping to step into the breach; an arrogant, alcoholic, corrupt judge and his two bagmen; a headline-hunting prosecutor; a prostitute; a pimp; a doctor accused of abortion before Roe v. Wade; a trial with only a weekend to prepare; a legal maneuver made possible by a federal stature enacted as part of the effort to thwart the virulent racism of the post-bellum South; and a cast of colorful supporting characters, all taking place in Monument City, the capital of a far from sleepy Midwestern state.

ny child of the 1970s of a certain age knows the tune: “It’s time to put on makeup ... it’s time to dress up right ... it’s time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight!” Angel Burlesque is taking that concept to its most literal limit with its Tribute to the Muppets at the Athenaeum. As Angel Burlesque mastermind Katie Angel points out, the fuzzy friends of our youth are a natural match for the playful nature of burlesque. “One of the reasons were attracted to paying tribute to the Muppets is the fact that the original Muppet Show was so vaudeville in nature,” she says. “Our opening number is based on a song that the Muppets parodied from the movie, ‘The Night they Raided Minksy’s,’ which was based on a vaudeville sketch. Tributes of tributes of tributes!” With a 35-member cast, it promises to be a big-ticket affair. “Our cast includes a few people who have made the jump from audience member to cast member,” Katie says. “We’ll be featuring a lot of your traditional favorite characters plus some twists of our own. People can expect singing, dancing and definitely the art of the striptease.” On the same night, the Rocket Doll Revue brings a different brand of unpredictable entertainment to its home stage of the White Rabbit Cabaret with

Nocturne, which is the latest in a series of shows they started a few years ago with local jazz mainstay Rob Dixon and the Naptown Fantasy Swingers. The RDR refer to it as a taste of what burlesque was like in its heyday. They’ll also feature St. Louisbased burlesque dancer Mimi Le Yu. “It’s the only burlesque show in Indianapolis where the dancers are on stage with a jazz band at the same time,” says RDR’s Frenchy LaRouge. “More often than not, it has a very classic feel and exemplifies how burlesque was done at the height of its popularity in America. All of the performances are improv-based, so every show is different even though they may all be under the same series name.” With half a dozen troupes, multiple independent performers, and usually at least two or three performances every month, Indianapolis has established itself as one of the foremost cities on the burlesque revival wave, and performers expect that to continue. Indeed, the current state of burlesque
in Indy has remained quite stable for several years, indicating that it’s in no danger of oversaturation any time soon. “The Indy burlesque scene is strong and growing!” Katie says. “I’m always surprised to meet people who have never heard of burlesque in Indianapolis, let alone that they have so many amazing options for their entertainment. Burlesque is a very particular form of entertainment and it’s not for everyone...but reluctant audiences members are more often than not surprised at how much they laugh and enjoy Angel Burlesque shows!” She credits the ever-growing burlesque scene to a resurgence of arts across the board in the city. “The arts have expanded tremendously in Indianapolis since I was a teenager and I see burlesque growing right alongside our fellow art community,” she says. Frenchy says the community’s maturation is leading to greater opportunities. “People are growing and developing, looking for more and better venues, teaching new performers, and gaining new fans,” she says. “We have an amazing independent community on top of the troupes that have been established for awhile, and they add a real sense of connection and support that we might not have otherwise. For the most part we root for and push each other to that next level.” She too credits Indy’s cultural scene with the growth. “I think in general Indianapolis is growing fast culturally and we are lucky enough to be part of that. Music scenes in cities this size and bigger are usually pretty large, and burlesque is really only different in that it’s female-dominated.” n

The Fantasticks w September 11-27. The Fantasticks, presented by The Actors Theatre of Indiana brought out a quirky mix of off-beat characters to the classic boy meets girl story. Known as the world’s longest running musical, The Fantasticks allowed audiences to use their imaginations while being immersed in a moonlit and magical world with plenty of glitter and soft harp music. The classic love story about Matt and Luisa tells a tale of a couple who fall in love, grow apart and come together again when they realize, “without a hurt, the heart is hollow.” Strong performances by Logan Moore, whose gallant El Gallo, captured more than just the heart of Luisa played by Laura Sportiello. Luisa’s love interest Matt was played by Michael Ferraro — whose skillful and swashbuckling stage combat sequence was a highlight of the production. Sportiello’s voice took center stage during “Much More” and “Metaphor” while a humorous supporting cast stirred laughter from the audience during “Plant A Radish” and “It Depends On What You Pay.” Under the direction of Ball State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance Chair, Bill Jenkins, The Fantasticks, accomplished just what it set out to do — tell a timeless love story while providing memorable songs that you’ll remember on the drive home. Simple, yet sweet choreography brought characters together as they sang under the moonlit stage. The simplicity of the story paired with occasional humor was an excellent recipe for a feel-good musical. Plenty of imagination and nostalgia filled the stage throughout the performance along with Marciel Greene’s superb lighting design. Memorable scenes included duets featuring Sportiello and Ferraro in “Soon It’s Gonna Rain” and “They Were You” while Moore’s El Gallo sang the classic, “Try to Remember.” The Fantasticks left audiences feeling just that, pretty fantastic. — LINDSAY ROSA Studio Theatre, The Center for the Performing Arts, 355 City Center Drive (Carmel), $20-$25, thecenterfortheperformingarts.org

ZINES Two periodicals showcase local artists Sept. 19, 5-10 p.m. Alright we admit, it’s not exactly “books,” but we know that NUVO isn’t the only thing you read so we decided to give you an inside look at two magazines/zines that are showcasing the work of local artists. Pattern has the eighth issue launch this weekend with the “Makers” issue. “Maker movement has been around at least, with strength, three years around the country,” says Polina Osherov, founder of Pattern.“... It takes about three years for things to make it to Indy... Now that it’s here we are excited to celebrate it. In the issue we profile a number of local makers with the idea of helping our readers wrap their ideas around what that concept means and how many people we actually have that are working with their hands and why it’s a cool thing to get behind.” Currently there are roughly 60 fashion-related makers in Indianapolis, by Osherov’s quick count. The upcoming issue will profile a series of local makers, artists and of course the upcoming changes for Pattern moving into a makers space themselves. “We decided that we wanted to start profiling different cities,” says Osherov when asked about what is new with the eighth round. They went to New York to find native Hoosiers who had a word or two to say about their craft, being from the Midwest and the impact it has had on their work. Next stop is L.A. Niina Cochran, a resident artist at Big Car, released her first zine called Gutzine as a collaboration of 24 artists from around the world and Indy. The theme is digestive health, something that is on Cochran’s mind a lot. “I like cooking and food and health,” says Cochran. “Your gut is the core of your health, of all the microbes and even your mental health stuff.” Cochran also created the Louve structure in both of Big Car’s recent locations. Essentially it is a bathroom theme installation of 3D work. What can we say, we like puns. “With my own artwork and I have been trying for a while to ... link my visual practice with food or health in my own personal language,” says Cochran. “This project has helped me do that.” Her mix of visual art, poetry, short stories and health tips can be thumbed through at PrintText on 52nd and College. — EMILY TAYLOR Pattern’s Vol. 8 launch, Biltwell Event Center, 950 S.

Q&A WITH JOYCE CAROL OATES
B Y E M M A F A ES I H U D EL S O N ARTS@NUVO.NET
P
rolific doesn’t even begin to describe Joyce Carol Oates. Between her novels, books published under pseudonyms, short story collections, fiction for children and young adults, books of poetry, essays, and memoirs, she has produced about 150 different titles. It’s rare to see an author succeed across so many genres, but succeed she does. Throughout her career, which spans more than 50 years, Oates has won scores of awards, including the National Book Award, the Pushcart Prize, the Prix Femina, and the Pulitzer Prize. She is one of the most celebrated names in contemporary writing, and she’s coming to Butler University as part of the Visiting Writers Series. Oates’ writing is often dark, always multifaceted, and sometimes controversial. As I worked up my questions for Oates, I wanted to focus on her treatment of race, especially in The Sacrifice, which emerged during a time of high racial tension in the U.S. NUVO: In The Sacrifice, you write a fictionalized account of the highly divisive late-1980s Tawana Brawley rape case. Why did you choose it? OATES: I’d originally felt sympathy for the “sacrificial” figure at the center — the rookie policeman who’d been vilified, after his death, as a rapist, with no way to defend himself. I’d thought — how horrible for this young man’s family! While working on the novel, over a period of time, I became equally sympathetic with his “accusers” — seeing how, from their perspective, they too were victims/sacrifices in a racist society. I had wanted to write a companion piece to my novel of 1969, them, which is told from the perspective of a white family in Detroit at the time of the so-called Detroit riot. NUVO: The Sacrifice also deals with issues around police brutality, which is unfortunately almost always tied to race. Were you seeking to comment on

this issue as it has appeared in recent events, or were you exposing an earlier example of brutality that may have faded from public memory? Or both? OATES: My novel was written before recent incidents have come to light, as a consequence of research into the Detroit and Newark riots of the late 1960s. (I had lived in Detroit during the “riot” of July 1967.) NUVO: You’ve written about lines of class, race and gender many times, including in The Sacrifice. What draws you to these topics of tension? OATES: Race relations in the U.S. seem, to me, central to our history. NUVO: As a white female, how do you prepare to write from the perspective of black characters? OATES: Writing from the perspective of a “writer” — one is sympathetic with others who may be older, younger, of different races and religions. Some firsthand experience, mingling with people, much reading and imagination. NUVO: In all of your writing, you don’t shy away from writing about the dark side of human nature. Do you see your writing as art that exposes wrong, narrates unfortunate truths, incites people to action against injustice, or all of the above? OATES: Writing is primarily about evoking sympathy for persons different from ourselves. It is not invariably tragic — it may be comic, entertaining. I doubt that any works of fiction today “incite” people to political

actions, as Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin once did. NUVO: Does art have an inherent social responsibility? If so, do you think your writing lives up to it? OATES: No, art is not obliged to be anything, even “artistic.” You have only to explore contemporary art exhibits in museums to appreciate this. NUVO: What social issues do you see as important today? You’ve been tweeting recently about evolution. Is that a topic you could see yourself writing about? OATES: The revolution of consciousness through social media has been an unanticipated consequence — the fact that, today, individuals can post tweets, photos, videos from virtually everywhere — no longer is the media centralized and dominated by powerful interests. n

B Y BRIA N WE ISS BWEISS@NUVO . N ET
few weeks ago we teamed up with the Indy Eleven for a new feature for both NUVO.net and the Eleven’s game-day programs: eleven questions for an Indy Eleven player, which we called “Eleven with the Eleven.” (Clever, right?) This week we’ll feature highlights from recent chats with two of Indy’s fútbol stars, Zach Steinberger and Kyle Hyland — both of whom have collegiate connections to Indianapolis. Find ALL eleven questions and answers from Zach and Kyle at NUVO.net.
(Editor’s note: WHO’S RUNNING THIS INTERVIEW? We agree that he has a two-week break and can eat whatever without consequences.) OK, now we’re talking. If I’ve got two weeks off I’m probably going to be at In-N-Out Burger every other day. I’m going to get the four by four animal style with animal style fries. (Another editor’s note: In-N-Out is a West-Coast burger chain, which happens to be AMAZING. Good call, kid. “Animal style” denotes a covering of “secret sauce” [Thousand Island dressing], grilled onions and melted cheese. Four by four or “4X4”
Zach Steinberger (No. 22) Steinberger, a midfielder from Long Beach, California, has an Indy connection: Zach was drafted out of Butler by the Houston Dynamo before returning to the Circle City.
NUVO: What’s your perfect meal? STEINBERGER: Am I cooking it or am I going out? Do I have to play a game the next day or is this going to be guilty food?
NUVO: What are you singing at a karaoke night? KYLE HYLAND: Oh gosh. Well, I like country so I’d probably have to pick a song somewhere in the country album area. Maybe something like “Dirt Road Anthem”? A little bit of a rap part but it’s still country music.
NUVO: Let’s jump to pizza, what’s your perfect pie? HYLAND: Usually I go with sausage but if I have to get crazy and stuff I’ll put some banana peppers on it as well.
NUVO: What’s the best goal celebration you’ve seen live?
STEINBERGER: A pet monkey. I’d come home and dress him up in a suit of armor and we could have sword battles.
Hyland’s a defender from Bay Village, Ohio, who also holds the distinction of being the first graduate of IUPUI to sign with a professional soccer team.
HYLAND: I’ll lean to the fantasy football stage. It hurts me to say but it would be pretty cool to be Megatron from the Detroit Lions even though I’m a Cleveland fan.
ZACH STEINBERGER: It’s either going to be — depending on the mood — “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey or “My Humps” by Black Eyed Peas.
NUVO: If you could have any animal as a pet what would it be?
Kyle Hyland (No. 18)
NUVO: If you could swap shoes with any athlete for a day, who would it be?
NUVO: If you had a walkout song like baseball players do, what would it be?
STEINBERGER: There was one game I played in Slovakia actually where one of the players — there were no fans in the stadium during the game — one of the players scored on our team and he ran and jumped in the stands where there were no fans and then crossed his legs and started golf-clapping for himself. It was hysterical.

The cash raised goes to local youth outreach programs and food banks. Did we mention the scenery? We should mention the scenery again. Distances run from a mild 13 miles to the full-on century with many distances between for every level of skill. And just to make you fully aware of the vibe that the organizers bring to the table, the Hope ride peeps promise, “Flying bicycles, anti-gravity water bottles, amazing wind reversing machines, holographic maps, and rainbows and puppy dogs for all!” Check the website for the annually-updated graphics: this year riders will apparently be passing Mt.

ATT offered Tomlin $500,000 to play Ernestine in a commercial, but she turned them down to protect her artistic integrity. Six years later, she did her own parody, with Ernestine snorting, “We don’t care, we don’t have to ... we’re the phone company!”

randma is tart, smart and short. Director Paul Weitz (About a Boy) wrote the movie for Lily Tomlin and she is perfect as a sourpuss called upon to help her granddaughter. The two end up on a mini-road trip that takes place over the course of less than a day. The entire cast is spot on, with memorable turns by Marcia Gay Harden and Sam Elliott, but the movie belongs to the great Lily Tomlin. Like most people, I first encountered Tomlin on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, a zippy comedy revue that premiered in 1970. Despite its counterculture trappings, the mindset of the show was rooted in old school Hollywood. Tomlin stood out – certainly she was one of the funniest people on the show, but there was something more. Her characters, from five-and-a-half-year-old Edith Ann to cackling telephone operator Ernestine, were inspired and her monologues cheerfully skewered the system. Over the decades Tomlin dazzled fans in one-woman shows, on comedy albums, and in movies including Nashville, The Late Show, 9 to 5 and All of Me, where she costarred with Steve Martin. Grandma is a little film, especially compared to the titles I just mentioned, and its comic moments are coated in surliness. Tomlin plays Elle, a celebrated poet who hasn’t done much in a while. We meet as she is breaking up with Olivia (Judy Greer), her girlfriend of four months. Elle won’t win any awards for tact, brusquely informing Olivia that she is just “a footnote.”
Grandma is a perfect glimpse of how humanity should be portrayed — without over-thinking it
there’s any levity at all.

10 MUST-SEE FALL FILMS
We went through and picked out the flicks that you shouldn’t miss during sweater weather BY SA M WA T E R ME IE R SWATER@NU VO . N ET
Black Mass Sept. 18. The trailer alone is one of the year’s most unsettling pieces of cinema. It revolves around a crime-drenched dinner table discussion that rivals those in Goodfellas. The guest of honor is Boston crime boss Whitey Bulger (an unrecognizable Johnny Depp with piercing blue eyes and thinning blonde hair). Depp and director Scott Cooper are no strangers to crime drama. Black Mass looks like one to remember. Freeheld Oct. 2. Another true story, this one follows a New Jersey police officer (Julianne Moore) as she battles cancer and fights to pass her pension benefits on to her domestic partner (Ellen Page). The film is already stirring up buzz, especially about how it inspired Page to come out. The Martian Oct. 2. Sci-fi master Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner) directs Matt Damon as an astronaut stranded on Mars. As if I need to say more, the film also stars Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Sean Bean and Chiwetel Ejiofor. The Final Girls Oct. 9. This sounds like a fun, self-aware slasher film in the vein of Wes Craven’s Scream. It revolves around a teenage girl who finds herself transported into a ’80s-era horror film starring her mother, a celebrated scream queen. In the wake of Craven’s death, this feels like a warm return to the type of horror films he made. Bridge of Spies Oct. 16. Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and the Coen Brothers cross streams to tell the story of a Brooklyn lawyer tasked with negotiating the
release of Francis Gary Powers — the pilot whose spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union. How is this not going to be incredible?
Steve Jobs Oct. 23. Remember when Ashton Kutcher starred as the iconic founder of Apple? This film is probably going to put that one to shame. Written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle, Steve Jobs exposes the entrepreneur’s dark side — the viciousness beneath his public veneer. Michael Fassbender looks spellbinding as the ruthless innovator. Room Nov. 6. Based on the critically acclaimed novel, the film stars Brie Larson as a young woman held captive with her five-year-old son in a garden shed. Let’s hope it’s as darkly dazzling as the book. Spectre Nov. 6. The new James Bond film. Does it even matter what it’s about? The important thing is that Sam Mendes (American Beauty) is back in the director’s chair to hopefully give us a Bond vehicle as visually arresting as his first entry in the series, Skyfall. Burnt Nov. 23. Bradley Cooper stars as a hothead chef akin to Gordon Ramsay. The film is coming at a time when the food industry is more fascinating than ever, spawning television shows and movies that people are eating up out of hunger for the drama constantly brewing in the business. Krampus Dec. 4. Imagine a Roger Corman creature feature by way of a John Hughes comedy. The Christmas film revolves around a dysfunctional family that accidentally unleashes the wrath of the monster, Krampus, “the shadow of St. Nicholas.” n NUVO // 100% RECYCLED PAPER // 09.16.15 - 09.23.15 // SCREENS 33

How to beer your bird right
Matt Pennington (left), Shawn Kessel
SUBMITTED PHOTOS
We sent out some of our most pressing questions to Indiana’s brewing community and let them advise us as they saw fit. We were happy to hear back from Shawn Kessel of Grand Junction Brewing Co and Matt Pennington of Union Brewing. Take it away, gents. Question: Do you pour your milk in first and then your coffee, or coffee then milk/cream? Why? MATT PENNINGTON: I pour my milk in one cup and my coffee in another. Simply take a drink of one, hold it in your mouth, quickly take a drink the other, violently shake your head, and suddenly you’re your own barista. SHAWN KESSEL: Coffee first and forgo milk / cream. I like my coffee like I like my men! Black and strong! Question: What is the easiest beer to make for first time homebrewers? KESSEL: I am a firm believer that all styles are easy. The best advice I can give is try the one you like the most and perfect that style. With that you will get a great beer but a better understanding of what goes into making it. PENNINGTON: Something dark. Chances are, your first batch of homebrew isn’t going to set the world on fire. But you give yourself a better chance by brewing a darker beer. With a light beer, there are so many places for “flaws” in the beer to shine through, while a darker beer will mask those off flavors a little easier. That said, brew what you want. That’s the great thing about making your own beer: it’s your own beer, and you can do anything you want to it. Question: Who would you rather get drunk with: Civil War generals or Revolutionary War generals. Why? PENNINGTON: Definitely Revolutionary. Imagine the pranks you could pull with a group of sloshed guys with wooden teeth and powdered wigs. Wasn’t tarring and feathering a thing back then? Because if so, I’d love to get in on that sweet action. ONLINE: See more wisdom at nuvo.net/askabrewer.

eer can chicken, or the concept of shoving an open beer can into the butt of a chicken sat upright on a girl, is not a bad one on its face. Adding some kind of liquid to work its way into the flesh of the meat is an old one. However, it makes no logical sense in a grill, which will release all of the accumulated moisture when you open it. It also doesn’t make sense as a heating method. After all, the can will never be able to get hot enough to actually boil the beer, and if it does, the outside of your chicken will end up scorched and bone dry. The first problem is trying to cook the bird whole, sitting upright, just to the side of an open flame. Again, it seems like a good idea, standing up the chicken so that the white meat gets the least amount of direct heat. But ultimately, in an environment where moisture only goes away and is not recycled in a pan, you’re almost always setting yourself up for dry chicken. This is why rotisseries do it by rotating the bird on its horizontal axis. Different parts of the chicken will cook at different times, so throwing the
whole bird on the grill means you’ll have to undercook some parts if you want others to stay juicy. The second problem is that beer has an amazing flavor, none of which actually gets into the bird with the posterior beer insertion. There’s just no way for enough flavor to penetrate cooking protein by steam. The only thing that the can does is expose more of the chicken skin to heat, and the more chicken skin that renders and crisps, well, the closer to God. But you get the exact same crispness anytime you grill chicken, and quartering or spatchcocking (flattening) the chicken will still give you the crispy skin you want, plus some nice grill marks for flavor. However, that doesn’t mean that beer won’t vastly improve your chicken grilling experience. By adding a teaspoon of salt to a quart or so of the same porter we’re using for the barbecue sauce, we made it into a tasty dark beer brine to bring some of the flavor of the malt into the flesh of the chicken. Then, we used some of the same Black Acre porter to cook up a rich barbecue sauce to brush on the chicken at the end. n
How to: spatchcock a chicken
Cut your chicken into quarters
Spatchcocking is an easy way to expose as much skin as possible to the heat while also keeping the chicken whole for easy flipping. Not to mention that it looks cool on presentation. The only downside is you’ll have to cut up a really hot chicken for serving, in which case we’d recommend letting the chicken rest for 15 minutes.
Quartering your chicken is the easiest way to get all the chicken evenly cooked without drying them out. You could easily just cut the chicken into two even halves, leaving the pelvic bone and the wings right where they are, but I find that grilling the breast without the wings makes for a more evenly cooked breast and the wings make a nice cook’s snack while you’re waiting for the bigger pieces to finish.
• Flip the chicken on its breast • Using a very sharp knife or a pair of kitchen shears, cut along the sides of the backbone. Use the inch-wide strip of fat covering the spine as your cutting guide.
• Make clean cuts through the wing joint to remove it from the breast.
• Using your fingers or a knife, remove the ribs of the chicken. This step isn’t necessary, but it makes it a lot easier to eat the breast pieces.
• Split the breast into two halves
• Flip it back over and press it out flat
• Separate the thighs from the pelvic girdle (the butterfly-shaped piece of flat bone that joins the leg to the spine) •C ook until the temp reaches 165 degrees in the thickest part of each piece, or juice runs clear when sliced.
RECIPE
EASY PORTER BARBECUE SAUCE The sugar in the barbecue sauce will burn and turn to bitter char if you try to baste the chicken while it’s still cooking. The way to get the stickiest coating of sauce is to put the chicken on the rack above the grill, baste it, and heat it with the flame on for a 2-3 min at a time, checking it frequently. It bakes a sticky, perfect coating onto the chicken. Pass plenty of napkins around and enjoy.
BUY IT: 1 teaspoon butter 1 onion, diced 5 cloves of garlic, mashed into a paste 1/8 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon molasses 3 tablespoon brown sugar 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup tomato paste 2 cups full-bodied dark beer like porter or stout. I used Black Acre’s Fair Wind Porter 1 teaspoon paprika 1 tablespoon mustard 1 teaspoon black pepper
MAKE IT: • Cook your onions until translucent, then add your garlic to the pan and continue cooking the onions down until fully caramelized. • Add all the other stuff and stir together. • Simmer it until it’s cooked down to a syrupy consistency and reduces by half. • Let it cool off the heat for a while, then blend it smooth in a blender • Baste the chicken pieces only when they are almost fully cooked.

AGAINST THE CLOCKS Against The Clocks drove an hour from Rockville to take part in this year’s Battle Royale, and when they first took the stage at Birdy’s in week three they were the new band in town, not really knowing what to expect from the crowd. Playing at the time seemingly as two bands for the price of one, with lead singers Logan Lake and Landry Moore fronting the band in opposing fashion, the band surprised many in the crowd by dominating many of the more experienced bands on the bill. “We learned a lot from those shows, especially since we were still just gelling as a band,” says Jordan Lake, the band’s lead guitarist. “We were the band no one had heard before, so getting any kind of positive response was a big deal.” Moore, however, abruptly left the band midway through the competition, so when the band returned to the Birdy’s stage for the semifinals they’d gelled around the songwriting presence of Logan Lake on lone lead vocals. And though they failed to advance to the finals, their sound was memorable, bringing past and present together in a way that never forgot the importance of a juicy hook. “That’s a big thing, people really want to put us in a corner and label us but it’s not been easy,” says Lake. “They’ll say they can hear the ‘70s influence but then they hear the ‘90s too.” With a shot at a wider audience at this year’s Indiana State Fair, and a recent nomination for Best Local Pop Band in this year’s ongoing NUVO Best of Indy competition, the band’s focus has been on showcasing that sound in a way that fits their self-described “festival style.” They’ve added Jonathan January, a seasoned local musician, on bass guitar and occasional “non-Jethro Tull styled” flute solos. And though they’re keeping tightlipped about specifics, the band did make a trip this past month to Nashville to explore potential songwriting options. “We’d gotten a lot of feedback on our last EP that it was almost two styles being forced onto one CD,” says Brock Crooks, who plays rhythm guitar for the band. “The route we’re going now is a more positive route, we have the right group of people to really make things happen.” — JONATHAN SANDERS

THE AURAL ART OF BIO-SONIC MUSIC Meet Brian Paulson, part multi-instrumentalist and composer, part mad scientist
B Y D R . RH O N D A BA U G H M A N MUSIC@NUVO.NET

ithin ten minutes of hanging up the phone after speaking with Brian Paulson, owner of Intragalactic Recordings, I knew he was the musical match to a researcher I had studied as a graduate student. Paulson's work alone, in and of itself, is worth getting excited over, but he also vividly reminds me of the work of one Dr. Richard Jones (The Dream Poet, Fantasy and Feeling in Education, The New Psychology of Dreaming, and Experiment at Evergreen). Both of these men understand there are more ways to explore and communicate with ourselves and each other than by traditional 21st century methods
— there’s so much beyond social media and texting. Paulson tells me as much, but offers the caveat, “You may not have actually heard of me unless you're a musician.” He’s correct, so for the next 28 minutes, I enjoy listening to Paulson pull me into his world and tell me about his career as a musician. “I sent a copy of one of my CDs, Quirk, to NUVO around 2008, but could not generate any interest. I did turn around and send it to Keyboard Magazine and won Unsigned Artist of the Year.” Paulson is upbeat and energetic and I get the feeling most people are asleep while this guy is still creating. Paulson's studio/museum, the Boiler Room, is stationed in Westfield, Indiana. He's released 33 albums for his label, Aeon Records, and he now has a new album and
a new label. Music I created over 15 years ago tends to find an audience, just years after I intended,” he says, “like so many of my esoteric titles and creations. Which is fine. I operate in the here and now and the universe works on its own clock.” “Switched at Birth is my first album for Intragalactic Recordings, although I currently write music for television, film, and license music for various venues. I also have performed 14 concerts this year for a local improv percussion group called Clang. On Switched at Birth, I play about 250 instruments as well as compose, record, and master the project. I create my own artwork as well as make my own instruments,” he says. “I started my own label in 1990 when I decided I wanted 100 percent control of profit and marketing. It

was all a left-brain, right-brain maneuver for me and it led me to what I do now, which is bio-sonic music. One side of my brain is jazz, progressive, future pop, and the other played around with geo-astral harmonics, binaural beats, and bio-sonic music.” Binaural beats are the subject of study and occasional controversy (depending on what conspiracy sites one visits), and is often used to help individuals sleep, or induce lucid dreaming; however, other studies have been linked to binaural beats and include astral projection, telekinesis, and psychokinesis. Also known as brainwave entertainment, binaural, bio-sonic music delves deep into the listener's psyche, to tap into previously unknown crevices and often unverifiable qualitative data in brain function, physiology, psychology, and psychiatry — and knowing what we know about the conscious human psyche, one can only begin to imagine what else might hover in the unconscious.
Gillespie and Spyro Gyra. “I enjoy working with people and musicians who aren't afraid to experiment, either. For example, I follow the work of a Russian physicist who uses plasma, energy, and light to create silent frequencies and when he used the element iron and played it through a vacuum tube, the hairs on our arms moved magnetic north. It was fantastic. I mean, as above, so below. I just love knowing there is so much more going on than we can even see or explain,” says Paulson, and continues, “and I really enjoy being able to help people both relax and to generate energy through music. People have been born and died to my music. My fatherin-law passed his last few hours with us, listening to my album Arc of Light – he said it gave him peace and I love that I could do that for him – give him a peaceful way to pass. I know I have many audiences, too – children love what we do in our live performances and I love bringing music to them. With his output, it definitely looks like Paulson will have that backlog he craves for his twilight years, and then some. “People have been born and He continues, “I work in many mediums, artistically as well as died to my music. ” musically.

REVIEW ZAC BROWN BAND AT KLIPSCH
4630 E 10TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN EMERSONTHEATER.COM
The Zac Brown band hit Klipsch Music Center north of Indy Sunday night — and their fans, as usual, weren’t disappointed in their energy, technical prowess or cover selections (you’ve gotta admire a country act that’s not afraid to tackle Queen songs). Miles apart from the current crop of bleakly similar frat-country acts (“Hey GURL get in mah TRUCK”), Zac and the band are touring in support of their latest release Jekyll + Hyde. The group’s well known for their musicianship, a rep they preserve by staying clear of any and all intoxicants until after every show. NUVO’s Jenn Goodman brought back these marvelous shots from their latest stop in Hoosierville. — ED WENCK PHOTOS BY JENN GOODMAN

MCKEE: Yeah, the wheels and the handle. He repairs amps, so he said “Bring home the parts so I can reuse them.”
GRAVEY: We didn’t choose a gimmick that incorporates me.
HART: We did get free sandwiches though.
HART: I played an Ibanez that was [Gravey]’s, he used to own everything I played: amp, pedal and bass. We painted it pink and it had a White Zombie sticker.
GRAVEY: We did, it was awesome. A guy walked up and was like, “What are you doing” and I explained it to him and he left. He came back like a half hour later with a gift card.
NUVO: What kind of amp are you using now?
HART: Potbelly sandwiches.
HART: A Fender Rumble. I only got that because my Behringer exploded on one tour… GRAVEY: [Makes explosion sound] in Mobile. HART: This one guy said “Don’t ever get a Behringer again, here are the good brands.” It’s pretty loud for a combo. GRAVEY: It wasn’t too expensive. We bought it on the road and took all the carpet off the old amp… HART: Yeah, we staple carpet to our amps.

MCKEE: Her stepdad’s band, [the drummer] sold it to me because it was all discolored. It’s a Mapex Mars. I painted it all with stripes. And I paint my sticks.

NUVO: Have you had any drum equipment catastrophes on the road?
HART: We asked for that. We like dreamy reverb and then a little of that megaphone effect.
GRAVEY: During a show in California her tom just slid all the way off.

ART ADAMS, ROCKABILLY LEGEND
W
hen I call Art Adams an Indiana music legend he's quick to push the title away. “I just happened to be fortunate enough to record a couple 45s back in 1959 and 1960 that the rockabilly community likes." Adams is referring to his songs "Rock Crazy Baby" and "Dancing Doll" a pair of rockabilly classics he released on a small Kentucky label called Cherry Records. While those records failed to make an impact on the pop charts during the time of their initial release, they've since gone on to become highly desired pieces on the international record collector's market. Despite his claims to the contrary, Art Adams is without a doubt a Hoosier music legend — for example, he’s an inductee in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. There's also his large European fan-base. In the last dozen years Adams has completed multiple tours across Europe where he's hailed as one of rock and roll's pioneers by music fanatics in far-off locales like England, France, Spain, Finland, and Sweden. At age 80 Adams is still rocking with swagger and he continues to record while maintaining a busy performance schedule. You can catch the Art Adams Band live along with an all-star lineup of Indiana musicians this Thursday, September 17th at the Vogue where Adams will perform as part of the Indiana Music and Entertainment Museum fundraiser. Tune into Cultural Manifesto on WFYIFM this Wednesday night at 9 for more conversation and music from Art Adams. NUVO: You started out playing straight country music with the Kentucky Drifters. When did your transition from traditional country music to rockabilly start to happen?

ART ADAMS: As far as the term rockabilly goes, I don't really know when that came about. We used to just call the music country rock. I'd started taking slow songs and speeding them up. I'd play a song like "No Teardrops Tonight" by Hank Williams and do it real uptempo. Little Jimmy Dickens had a show here in Indianapolis and I went to see him. I remember he had two electric guitar players standing side by side and I thought, "Man, I've got to have that!" NUVO: After re-forming your band as the Rhythm Knights you weren't playing straight country music, but it wasn't totally rock and roll either. What exactly did you consider the music you were playing then was?
A CULTURAL MANIFESTO WITH KYLE LONG KLONG@NUVO.NET Kyle Long’s music, which features off-the-radar rhythms from around the world, has brought an international flavor to the local dance music scene.
lined up outside the bar waiting for us to get in when we played there. But I remember here in Indianapolis in the late '50s we had some cowboy hats and Western shirts on … We were walking down the street and people were laughing at us. We could hear them saying "look at them hillbillies" and laughing. I also remember seeing signs saying that rock and roll was destroying the youth.
NUVO: By the late '50s rock and roll had exploded in popularity. Sun “If Hank Williams would’ve had drums, Records in Memphis was the source point for a lot some of his songs were rockabilly. ” of the most important and popular early rock — ART ADAMS and roll music. One of my favorite stories associated with your career is a 1958 trip you made to Sun Records in hopes of getting ADAMS: I didn't know what we considered your music released on that label. From it. (laughs) We just enjoyed what we were doing. Some people think Elvis was the first what I've read you had an encounter with the legendary producer and songwriter guy to start doing rockabilly. To me that's "Cowboy" Jack Clement? not correct. If Hank Williams would've had drums, some of his songs were rockabilly. ADAMS: I went to Memphis, Tennessee with four songs to Sun Records. I drove NUVO: How did Indy receive your work down there and walked right in the door. with the Rhythm Knights? There was a lady sitting there and I said "is ADAMS: I found us a place out on 16th Sam Phillips here?" She said "no he isn't, Street. It was a supper club. We went out but Jack Clement is." I went in and Jack listhere and we'd fill the place up. From tened to the songs I brought. He said somethere we went to the Pla-Mor bar out on thing like "well, I'll tell you the same thing I Kentucky Avenue. The people would be
told Johnny Cash." He told me what to do with the songs and what I should come back with. It turns out he was a mastermind. He wrote a lot of hit songs and if it wasn't for him probably a lot of artists like Johnny Cash and Charley Pride never would've made it. But Memphis was hundreds of miles away and I never made it back. NUVO: Did your releases on Cherry Records get any airplay? ADAMS: The records got airplay here in Indiana with the local DJs. I know they got airplay in Canada because I got some royalties there for "Dancing Doll" and "Indian Joe." But those records are still getting airplay today. I was driving the other day listening to the Outlaw Country channel on Sirius radio and Mojo Nixon played "Rock Crazy Baby." NUVO: It was around that time in the late '90s and early '00s when the international interest in your work started growing. Your records were selling for upwards of three hundred dollars on the collectors market and you were getting offers to perform all over North America and Europe. What was your reaction to this renewed wave of interest in your music? ADAMS: I thought, “are these people crazy?” I remember doing a show in Spain awhile back and after the show they had a meeting of all these DJs. One of these DJs in Spain told me she'd give me five hundred dollars if I could get her a copy of "Dancing Doll". It's almost unbelievable to me. You know, I'm just a country boy from Kentucky who moved to Indiana and really just played around here locally. n

Dating data Let’s say the dating pool is running dangerously thin in the social circles I’m in. Any tips on getting out there to find other people??? Are dating apps safe? — Asking for a friend SARAH: What does “safe” mean? I’ve been on a goodly sum of Tinder dates and I still have both of my kidneys and no slash marks across my face (yet). But I feel the same way about dating apps as I do about meeting people in person: There is no substitute for making sure your chemistry works in person. As soon as you have enough conversation to establish the fact that you can at least hold down a conversation, go out and do something together in the real world. It will either work on the first date or it won’t. Period. And if it doesn’t work, bail! So to answer your question, yes, use a dating app if, like me, you are really busy and in a somewhat limited dating pool, but don’t say yes to every date, and listen to your gut if it doesn’t feel right. DR. D: Dating apps are “safe” to the extent that you use them in safe ways. I’d recommend meeting people you

SARAH: Why put more work into getting something out of a part of you that already functions as an exit? I understand if it’s totally just a personal preference and makes you feel clean, but if you don’t feel like you need to, don’t bother.
DR. DEBBY HERBENICK & SARAH MURRELL connect with on Tinder, Grindr, etc. in public places first and/or try to get some clear, identifying information on them so you know who they are. Some people let their friends know who they are meeting up with if it’s the first time you’re getting together and (only half-jokingly) make it clear to the person they’re seeing that they’ve left cookie crumbs with friends should anything go wrong. A number of my students who have used various apps to hook up with other people near and far have wound up with sexually transmitted infections (STI) — usually chlamydia and/or herpes (not surprising since these two are pretty common, especially among 15-24 year olds). That’s not the app’s fault, though. If you have sex with someone whose STI status is a mystery to you because you have not gotten STI tested together, use a condom. Condoms don’t offer 100% protection against STIs, especially ones like herpes and HPV, but they do offer some protection so take advantage of that and use condoms for oral, vaginal, and/or anal sex. And if you wind up with an STI from a Tinderoni or Grindr hookup, by all means backtrack and let recent partners know so they can get tested and treated/cured (when possible) too. It’s kind and it also keeps the STI rate low in our entire community. Aside from dating and hookup apps, get out in the world and try to meet people outside of your social circle. Check out event listings and go to events that are brand new to you. Make eye contact. Smile at people. Seem approachable and, in turn, approach other people who seem cool.

SARAH: How come no one has come up with a sexflexibility-specific yoga class? Am I going to have to do it? I hope not. But the point remains: yoga is going to likely be your best bet. Start with an intro class to get things warmed up and to become aware of your body. Also, start trying new positions and take note of how each makes your body feel (X makes my hips feel tight, etc.) and use that as a guide when you start your yoga practice. Pretty soon, you’ll be having the weird, bendy sex of your dreams. DR. D: Flexibility is partly shaped by our genetics and partly by practice. If you work out, try adding some stretching to the end of your workout; many gyms have posters demonstrating safe and effective stretching techniques. You can also browse websites online from magazines like Men’s Health, Women’s Health, SELF, Shape, and Fitness to look for stretching routines or you can buy a book focused on stretching and flexibility. Yoga classes are also pretty great for improving flexibility and a few studies have even found that yoga can improve sexual function — maybe in part through better flexibil— DR.

Libra
ARIES (March 21-April 19): I won’t go so far as to say that you are surrounded by unhinged maniacs whose incoherence is matched only by their self-delusion. That would probably be too extreme. But I do suspect that at least some of the characters in the game you’re playing are not operating at their full potential. For now, it’s best not to confront them and demand that they act with more grace. The wiser strategy might be to avoid being swept up in their agitation as you take good care of yourself. If you are patient and stay centered, I bet you will eventually get a chance to work your magic. Aries

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Many of the heroes in fairy tales survive and thrive because of the magical gifts they are given. Benefactors show up, often unexpectedly, to provide them with marvels — a spinning wheel that can weave a cloak of invisibility, perhaps, or winged shoes that give them the power of flight, or a charmed cauldron that brews a healing potion. But there is an important caveat. The heroes rarely receive their boons out of sheer luck. They have previously performed kind deeds or unselfish acts in order to earn the right to be blessed. According to my analysis, Taurus, the coming weeks will be prime time for you to make yourself worthy of gifts you will need later on. Taurus

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): We humans need nourishing stories almost as much as we require healthy food, clean air, pure water, and authentic love. And yet many of us get far less than our minimum daily requirement of nourishing stories. Instead, we are barraged with nihilistic narratives that wallow in misery and woe. If we want a break from that onslaught, our main other choices are sentimental fantasies and empty-hearted trivia. That’s the bad news. But here’s the good news: Now is a favorable time for you to seek remedies for this problem. That’s why I’m urging you to hunt down redemptive chronicles that furnish your soul with gritty delight. Find parables and sagas and tales that fire up your creative imagination and embolden your lust for life. Gemini

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Now is an excellent time to close the gap between the Real You and the image of yourself that you display to the world. I know of two ways to accomplish this. You can tinker with the Real You so that it’s more like the image you display. Or else you can change the image you display so that it is a more accurate rendition of the Real You. Both strategies may be effective. However you go about it, Cancerian, I suggest you make it your goal to shrink the amount of pretending you do. Cancer

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Born under the sign of Leo, Marcel Duchamp was an influential artist whose early work prefigured surrealism. In 1917, he submitted an unusual piece to a group exhibition in New York. It was a plain old porcelain urinal, but he titled it Fountain, and insisted it was a genuine work of art. In that spirit, I am putting my seal of approval on the messy melodrama you are in the process of managing. Henceforth, this melodrama shall also be known as a work of art, and its title will be “Purification.” (Or would you prefer “Expurgation” or “Redemption”?) If you finish the job with the panache you have at your disposal, it will forevermore qualify as a souljiggling masterpiece. Leo

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Since you seem to enjoy making life so complicated and intense for yourself, you may be glad to learn that the current astrological omens favor that development. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that you’re about to dive deep into rich mysteries that could drive you half-crazy. I suspect that you will be agitated and animated by your encounters with ecstatic torment and difficult bliss. Bon voyage! Have fun! Soon I expect to see miniature violet bonfires gleaming in your bedroom eyes, and unnamable emotions rippling through your unfathomable face, and unprecedented words of wild wisdom spilling from your smart mouth. Scorpio
Libra
Taurus
Aries
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The Adamites were devotees of an ancient Christian sect that practiced sacred nudism. One of their central premises: How could anyone possibly know God while wearing clothes? I am not necessarily recommending that you make their practice a permanent part of your spiritual repertoire, but I think you might find value in it during the coming weeks. Your erotic and transcendent yearnings will be rising to a crescendo at the same time. You will have the chance to explore states where horniness and holiness overlap. Lusty prayers? Reverent sex? Ecstatic illumination? Sagittarius
Gemini
Scorpio
Libra
Taurus
Aries
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): One of your key themes in the coming weeks is “grace.” I suggest that you cultivate it, seek it out, expect it, and treasure it. To prepare for this fun work, study all of the meanings of “grace” below. At least two of them, and possibly all, should and can be an active part of your life. 1. Elegance or beauty of form, movement, or proportion; seemingly effortless charm or fluidity. 2. Favor or goodwill; a disposition to be generous or helpful. 3. Mercy, forgiveness, charity. 4. A temporary exemption or immunity; a reprieve. 5. A sense of fitness or propriety. 6. A prayer of blessing or thanks said before a meal. 7. An unmerited divine gift offered out of love. Capricorn

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be good, but not necessarily well-behaved. Be extra exuberant and free, but not irresponsible. Be lavish and ardent and even rowdy, but not decadent. Why? What’s the occasion? Well, you have more-or-less finished paying off one of your karmic debts. You have conquered or at least outwitted a twist from your past that had been sapping your mojo. As a reward for doing your duty with such diligence, you have earned a respite from some of the more boring aspects of reality. And so now you have a mandate to gather up the intelligent pleasure you missed when you were acting like a beast of burden. Aquarius

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some people express pride in gross ways. When you hear their overbearing brags, you know it’s a sign that they are not really confident in themselves. They overdo the vanity because they’re trying to compensate for their feelings of inadequacy. In the coming weeks, I expect you to express a more lovable kind of self-glorification. It won’t be inflated or arrogant, but will instead be measured and reasonable. If you swagger a bit, you will do it with humor and style, not narcissism and superiority. Thank you in advance for your service to humanity. The world needs more of this benign kind of egotism. Virgo
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The rooster is your power animal. Be like him. Scrutinize the horizon for the metaphorical dawn that is coming, and be ready to herald its appearance with a triumphant wake-up call. On the other hand, the rooster is also your affliction animal. Don’t be like him. I would hate for you to imitate the way he handles himself in a fight, which is to keep fussing and squabbling far beyond the point when he should let it all go. In conclusion, Libra, act like a rooster but also don’t act like a rooster. Give up the protracted struggle so you can devote yourself to the more pertinent task, which is to celebrate the return of the primal heat and light.
Aries
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I am the least difficult of men. All I want is boundless love.” That’s the mantra that Frank O’Hara intoned in his poem “Meditations in an Emergency,” and now I’m inviting you to adopt a modified version of it. Here’s how I would change it for your use in the coming months: “I am the least difficult of passion artists. All I want is to give and receive boundless, healthy, interesting love.” To be frank, I don’t think O’Hara’s simple and innocent declaration will work for you. You really do need to add my recommended nuances in order to ripen your soul’s code and be aligned with cosmic rhythms. Pisces
