Where’s Wanda? At the Keswick this week.
WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... CO M E DY
Wanda Sykes
This sister’s not one to pull punches—Wanda Sykes has spent years slugging it out in the arena of Telling It Like It Is. And much to the delight of standup fans everywhere, a decade after Entertainment Weekly named her one of the “25 Funniest People in America,” the comedienne/writer/actress shows no signs of changing course anytime soon. The Hampton University grad rolled the dice on a comedy career after delighting a major showcase audience, a move that led Sykes to New York, where she scored a gig opening for Chris Rock at Caroline’s. Duly impressed, Rock invited her to join the writing team for HBO’s way-too-brief The Chris Rock Show. There, while toiling alongside fellow funny folk like Louis C.K., Lance Crouther, Ali LeRoi and Steve O’Donnell (creator of David Letterman’s iconic “Top Ten” list), Sykes and the Chris Rock squad earned several Emmy Award nominations, winning one. But while most of her colleagues stayed behind the scenes to earn their stripes, Sykes was stealing scenes in sketches, too. Her prowess with both the pen and the mic earned her not only kudos, but also the opportunity to showcase that comedic flair in other ways—including two seasons of the hilarious, underwatched Wanda at Large. Opposite her prickly-blowhard foils, played to perfection by Phil Morris and Ann Magnuson, Sykes got to simultaneously brandish and burnish her comedic acting chops, setting the stage for what’s been an impressive career on TV and film since—New Adventures of Old Christine, Curb Your Enthusiasm, the animated Ice Age blockbusters, standup specials galore, et al—and eventually, her own short-lived, late-night talkfest. Appearances on Kevin Hart’s Real Husbands of Hollywood and the Amazon original series Alpha House have kept watchers in stitches more recently, while her outspoken activism on behalf of her fellow gays seeking marriage rights has given her standup routines a new, passionate edge. Expect Sykes—the first openly gay American to host the White House Correspondents Dinner—to bring that abrasive brilliance to the Keswick stage. // KENNEDY ALLEN Thurs., March 27, 7:30pm. $48-$98.

The term “old soul” is often thrown around willy-nilly, but singer/songwriter Nicole Atkins truly embodies a voice from a past generation. Atkins’ croons sound more like the Ronettes or Roy Orbison than any contemporary, for which she has plenty of thanks to give the state of New Jersey. Growing up a stone pony’s throw away from the local music mecca of Asbury Park, the Neptune, N.J.-born and raised firebrand has drawn immense influence from her surroundings. This included a chance encounter with the indelible one, The Boss himself, at a Jersey benefit gig. Springsteen and Atkins chatted for hours, with the former dishing out some savvy advice. By the end of their conversation, Atkins had Bruce’s personal contact info. Attempting to self-produce and release her third LP, Atkins reached out to the man— and Springsteen personally posted her PledgeMusic link on his Facebook page, boosting her album budget to $50,000. The result is Slow Phaser, released in February to critical acclaim. The hypnotic Atkins has flirted with mainstream success before, dropping her debut, Neptune City, in 2007 on Columbia. Though the album was revered by critics, Atkins didn’t reach the stardom the label had hoped, and the two went separate ways. With Slow Phaser, she seems primed to finally break through, aided by a summer on the road with the venerable Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds for a leg of their U.S. tour, including the Philly date in July. Tonight, she headlines at JB’s. // DANIEL GELB

Flaherty on the Road Aside from being a creative genius, documentary film pioneer Robert Flaherty sure knew how to pick a bride. Not only did his beloved Frances contribute to his visionary film projects during Flaherty’s brilliant career; after becoming a widow in 1951, the Academy Award-nominated writer continued to keep her late husband’s artistic legacy alive and thriving via the creation, four years later, of the Flaherty Film Seminar. Lady Flaherty gathered a group of talented filmmakers, writers, curators and composers at the family Vermont farm to commune over their mutual passion for the medium—a tradition that’s since morphed into a weeklong summit welcoming 160 film and art professionals, academics and enthusiasts to screen, dissect and discuss innovative new works. And for the film and video artists whose projects are featured as part of Flaherty on the Road, a traveling tour of the films shown at the previous year’s confab, there’s an added benefit than exposure to discerning audiences: The Flaherty gives them 50 percent of the income derived from distributing their films. A two-night stop in Philadelphia is next for Flaherty’s 2013 collection, curated by Pablo de Ocampo, executive director of Toronto’s Images Festival. Program One, dubbed “Political Memory,” features three short films: Farther Than the Eye Can See, directed by Basma Alsharif; Sirah Foighel Brutmann and Eitan Efrat ‘s Printed Matter; and Bete & Deise by Wendelien van Oldenborgh. Jean-Paul Kelly’s Movement in Squares and Figure-ground form the centerpiece of the second evening’s program, which features four shorts. // KENYA BEVERLY March 28–29. Various times. $7-$9.

Eats and Beats Eating healthy these days is often more expensive than eating crap—and the crap is omnipresent in easily-accessible corner bodegas. Sure, some Philadelphia neighborhoods boast credible grocery stores; others at least benefit from occasional produce trucks within walking distance or a short SEPTA ride. Still, indulging in nutrient-free meals and snacks loaded with saturated fat, high fructose corn syrup and reckless amounts of sugar has become the norm for many. Striving to turn this beat around, the grassroots Agatston Urban Nutrition Initiative (UNI for short) brings fresh veggies—and a fresh perspective—to the table in a continuous effort to change what’s in our cupboards. Its staff works collectively in 20 schools throughout Philly, consistently introducing students to fresh, nutritious, locally grown produce and inspiring them to seek—and even help create—better food options for themselves and their families. For the fifth year, UNI’s hosting its annual Eats & Beats fundraiser, designed not only to showcase their young charges’ literal and figurative fruits of labor, but also collect monies to send themselves to educational conferences, farm trips and leadership training. Your donation for entry includes entertainment by Takia McClendon and Babel, plus a locally sourced, organic four-course meal prepared and grown by the program’s teenaged interns. Come see them demonstrate how beneficial—and delicious—educating the community can be. // K.A. 5:30pm. Suggested donation: $25. Mantua Haverford Community Center, 631 N. 39th St. urbannutrition.org

It must be really rad growing up with a legendary national treasure as your dad. That’d be Johnny Clegg, Jesse Clegg’s father, mentor and hero. For a majority of his childhood in South Africa, young Jesse was on the road, watching music mastery in motion and learning pretty much every instrument at his fingertips, eventually writing songs in earnest. To be sure, father and son have decidedly different styles: Johnny specializes in world music and Jesse in a more straightforward, guitar-based indie rock. Jesse’s got two LPs and a third in the works, and on this tour, he’s supporting Big Poppa for a few shows—including tonight. It’s unclear how they’d interact onstage, as their music’s completely different: Dad’s very much a precursor to Paul Simon-meetsLadysmith Black Mambazo while junior specializes in Stereophonics-meets-Kenny Wayne Shepherd. In fact, the slightly bluesy and serious guitar rock of the younger Clegg sounds distinctly not African in origin.

Quintessence Theatre concludes its fourth season with Eugene O’Neill’s Mourning Becomes Electra, a retelling of Aeschylus’ Oresteia, and like that ancient Greek drama, it is divided into thirds, chronicling the fall of a wealthy family as its secrets of the past threaten those in the present. Quintessence is presenting all three parts, digging out all the incest, adultery, murder and savage wit of O’Neill’s Mannon clan. The human drama of a family battling among itself mirrors how America responds to war and the homecoming of its soldiers, and Quintessence has stretched the years between each of the play’s parts to allow a broader discourse on the subject in the context of the Civil War, World War II and the Korean War. (Indeed, the play runs approximately four hours and 10 minutes, with two 15-minute intermissions.) The challenge of such a huge production doesn’t deter director Alexander Burns. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” he tells PW. “The play has never been done in Philadelphia and only four times in New York. It’s one of the greatest American plays ever written, and I think people avoid it because of its scale.” For Burns, who has loved Mourning Becomes Electra since he was a teenager, this is a dream project. It wasn’t originally slated to be one of Quintessence’s first stagings, but now, Burns says, they are ready to tackle O’Neill’s epic. “It’s the right time. We have an incredible cast. You get to go on three totally different adventures through the course of one evening.” // JARED AXELROD

How the Democrats Went to Pot WHO’D HAVE EXPECTED EVERY LAST CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR TO COME OUT IN FAVOR OF MARIJUANA REFORM? BY RANDY LOBASSO • rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com
W
hen Katie McGinty strode into the Glen Brook Country Club in East Stroudsburg last September, a man with a video camera followed right behind her. McGinty, a former state environmental secretary who’s running for the Democratic nomination for governor, was there to deliver the keynote speech at the Democratic Women’s Eleanor Roosevelt Brunch. She spoke to the mostly female audience about environmental issues and women’s reproductive health, then opened the floor to questions; after taking several concerning fracking and school funding, she called on the man with the camera. Aaron DiDonato, an independent journalist from East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, was filming the event for his online political news program, CounterpointPA, a Keith Olbermann-style liberal talk show deconstructing Pennsylvania politics. He asked McGinty where she fell on the marijuana issue. “I am not for the legalization of marijuana,” she said. “On the other hand, we need to look at our sentencing guidelines and take a much more rational approach to who and what we’re clogging our prisons with. The human toll of that and the economic toll of that, to me, are unsustainable and unacceptable.” And medical marijuana? he asked. “No,” she said. “Not at the present time. I think I would be open to the continued development of science. And if there was some science that said here are some chronic—chronic ailments, chronic pain, for which there is no other alternative medicine, then of course I would be open to that.” He cut her off: “If I told you that the Pennsylvania State Nurses Union just endorsed it, would that change your mind?” She shrugged. “I’d be happy to listen.” At the time, marijuana reform wasn’t much of an issue in the governor’s race. That disappointed the liberal DiDonato: “Marijuana legalization is a very useful metric telling how progressive any given candidate is,” he says. McGinty’s stance was no different from Republican Governor Tom Corbett’s. Or, for all anyone knew, the other Democratic candidates’. Well, except for one: John Hanger didn’t just support marijuana reform, he was going all out, making full legalization of the drug a centerpiece of his campaign. Back in September, though, his efforts had yet to make any sort of blip in statewide polling. That was then. In the months following, McGinty apparently kept her ear to the ground. Because by the time January rolled around, all the candidates were asked to weigh in on
marijuana reform during a debate at Carnegie Mellon University—and McGinty’s answer had shifted somewhat. “Yes on decriminalization, and yes on availability for medical necessity,” she answered, and put down the mic. What happened in the months between McGinty’s two responses—and what continues to happen throughout Pennsylvania—is a reflection of the speed with which the American debate on this topic has evolved: This campaign season, marijuana has become an issue that’s unpopular not to attach your name to. Every one of the Democratic gubernatorial candidates who remain in the race as we approach the May 20 primary—candidates who had nothing to say about marijuana six months ago—have now gone on the record to endorse some kind of change in Pennsylvania’s laws on marijuana. Whichever Democrat is on the ballot in November—and as of the most recent Quinnipiac University poll, every one of them is polling higher than the unpopular Gov. Corbett—we know they’ll be running on a platform that, among other things, includes support for at least medical marijuana and, in all likelihood, the decriminalization of small amounts of the plant. Asked how McGinty would implement a medicinal marijuana policy in the state, her campaign manager, Mike Mikus, implies that she’d likely do it in a very conservative way, making sure people couldn’t get pot after claiming they’d stubbed their toe or fallen off their skateboard. She’d “engage the medical community,” he says, and look to New York’s state initiatives for counsel. “If medical experts determine that marijuana is a medically necessary treatment for specific diseases or conditions,” he says, “Katie would support making it available to patients with those specific afflictions.” Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz, the one-time Democratic frontrunner in the primary race, told Philadelphia Weekly in February she supported both the decriminalization of marijuana possession and, potentially, the legalization of medical use. “I would be supportive of medical marijuana [that is] well-regulated by the state or federal government, should we get to that point,” she said. “And secondly, I do believe marijuana is over-criminalized. What we should do is decriminalize possession.” That was news to lots of folks following the issue, since Schwartz had previously received a negative-10 rating from the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws based on her previous “hard on drugs” stance. For both McGinty and Schwartz—as well as candidates
Tom Wolf and Rob McCord, who hold similar stances, and Jack Wagner, who supports medicinal use—evolution on the issue was a no-brainer. Quinnipiac polling shows that 85 percent of Pennsylvanians support medicinal use of the plant, and 48 percent of the state supports full-on Colorado-style legalization. That’s the most support pot has ever seen in the commonwealth. “The polls have been surprising on one level,” says John Micek, the opinion page editor at the Harrisburg PatriotNews. “Pennsylvania tends to be culturally conservative—at least among its older residents. But as is the case with marriage equality, the public has been moving toward the center on this issue and opposition has diluted and moved toward support. I think that’s indicative of the broader national shift on these issues. And I also think it’s a sign that Pennsylvania’s younger residents are now making their voices heard.” Micek, who’s been covering Pennsylvania politics for the past 13 years, notes this is one of those cases where public policy is simply catching up to public sentiment. One specific factor is clear, though: We can thank John Hanger for kicking the debate into catch-up mode. From the start, Hanger—who finally dropped out of the race in March, citing Tom Wolf’s “commanding lead”—built his campaign on the assertion that marijuana reform matters. He frequently pointed to the injustice of the state’s lopsided enforcement of drug laws: African-Americans are five times more likely to be arrested for simple marijuana possession than whites. “I think for Democrats, there’s been a realization that the criminalization of marijuana is attacking key parts of their coalition: young people,” Hanger says today. “And also because of the racial discrimination in enforcement, targeting African Americans. That can’t be tolerated by people of good will— and especially by Democratic political leaders.” That stance led Hanger to become a hero to a small but loud constituency of pot activists statewide. During the past year, many gathered monthly at Independence Mall in Philadelphia to hold “Smokedown” pro-pot rallies meant to push the federal government on the issue and, in many cases, to demonstrate civil disobedience by toking up in public. Hanger attended in September; while there, he called “shame” on the state for its conservative position on marijuana: “As a taxpayer, I’m tired of paying $350 million in Pennsylvania to enforce these unjust laws while we’re closing libraries and schools right here in the city of Philadelphia.” The Smokedown gatherings led to numerous arrests and a large police presence at the Mall, and at least one arrested protester was banned by court order from attending protests for a year: local comedian and activist N.A. Poe, who credits Hanger with bringing the issue to the forefront of state politics. >>>

Hanger began moving up in the polls late last fall and continued throughout the winter. In an early January poll, he showed up at just 8 percent against the six other primary candidates—and yet at the same time polled the best among them against Gov. Corbett. He put up two big pro-pot billboards in heartland Pennsylvania—one in Scranton, one in Erie—calling on the voters to support him specifically for the marijuana issue. He brought it up at all the debates, and hammered his opponents for their timid steps toward legalization, pointing out that while the decriminalization policies they favored would make simple marijuana possession a ticketable-but-non-arrestable offense, that would by no means legalize it. It’s hard to say definitively that Hanger’s loud tub-thumping had a measurable effect on the state’s willingness to discuss
reform—but something sure has. Less than a year ago, in May 2013, a Franklin and Marshall College poll found just 38 percent approved of recreational marijuana, and 54 percent disapproved. That means approval has shot up by 10 points in less than a year, and disapproval has declined by six. Hanger’s not shy about it: “I think that happened because of our campaign. We took that position and put the issue into the mix, so the top five or six [candidates] had to talk about it.” He also takes pride in the fact that the first two steps of his four-step plan to make marijuana completely legal in Pennsylvania—regulating medical cannabis and decriminalizing possession—are now agreed upon by the Democrats. He’s confident the eventual Democratic nominee will beat Corbett in November—and that it’ll be partially because of pot. “The marijuana issue is one of very few that can change votes,” he says. “And I don’t see any Democrats yet totally understand that, but it can. I’m not just blowing smoke.” (Seriously, he said that last part.) Not everyone credits Hanger with changing the game. Vanessa Maria, a local advocate for environmental issues and member of the Cannabis Justice Coalition, thinks Colorado and Washington’s moves on the issue made a campaign like Hanger’s inevitable. “There was a buzz about marijuana legalization long before Hanger came on to the scene,” she says, noting the tax dollars Colorado and Washington have brought in from legalization. “As Pennsylvania faces huge budget deficits, I think it has caused both citizens and legislators to ask the same question.” In any case, a study recently highlighted in The New York Times seems to bear out marijuana’s effectiveness as an electoral issue. According to data put together by Just Say Now, a pro-marijuana group, the number of voters under 30 in Colorado and Washington increased six percent and 12 percent, respectively, between 2008 and 2012. The difference between those two elections: Pot was on the ballot, and it was able to bring out even more young voters than Candidate Obama had been able to four years earlier. Of course, it may be that Governor Corbett is so unpopular these days that he’d lose even if there weren’t a boom in young voter turnout. But Democrats know they shouldn’t count on it. “I think not embracing medical marijuana and decriminalization [would be] political malpractice,” Hanger says. It’s no coincidence, he suggests, that the whole bunch of candidates have now come out on this issue in unison: “Generally, politicians don’t end up doing really stupid things politically.” He’s quick to stress that he means generally; major political gaffes are fairly rare, and this isn’t one of them. Whether the Democratic candidates now favor marijuana reform “genuinely or cynically,” he says, doesn’t matter so much. What matters is that people are ready to vote for it. n
P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y. C O M I
Poe, too, likens the rapid evolution of the weed debate to the similarly fast-spreading American support for gay marriage: “We’re seeing politicians flock to our side mostly because marijuana legalization is polling so well,” he says. “In the short time it has been legal in Colorado, we’ve seen great [tax revenue] numbers and minimal negative effects.” Poe, Philly NORML and other advocacy organizations that have frequented the Smokedown protests aren’t the only ones working hard for pot during this campaign season. Joseph Badowski recently launched VoteMedicalPA.com, a website dedicated to spreading the message on medical cannabis. “I’m very happy about the stances that many of our candidates have on the issue,” says Badowski—who notes his motivation comes from watching family members suffer through ailments that could have been treated with cannabis—“and I am especially thankful for what John Hanger has done in raising the issue. I believe he had a big part in getting our state to where we are today. The fact that so many candidates, lawmakers and citizens are now behind the issue—it is only a matter of time before things go into effect.” That sense of inevitability was highlighted in January, when two politically disparate state senators—Daylin Leach, a longtime marijuana supporter and liberal Democrat, and Mike Folmer, a conservative Republican—held a hearing on the medical cannabis bill they’d decided to co-sponsor. The hearing packed a small room on the ground floor of the Capitol building and brought in witnesses from all over the country. When Folmer spoke, he acknowledged that common political wisdom would suggest he not take progressive leadership on a drug issue—“but when I got to meet the parents” of sick children who could benefit from medical cannabis “and do my own research” on the topic, he said, “I realized I was wrong.” When a rural legislator from central Pennsylvania wants to team up with a Philadelphia-area progressive and legalize medical marijuana, the writing is on the wall.

all it the Rollo-fication of Philadelphia. Nicholas Elmi is famously pairing up foie gras and cocoa at Laurel. At Avance, Justin Bogle has incorporated cocoa with veal sweetbreads. And now at Stateside, new executive chef Kevin D’Egidio is pairing chicken liver mousse and dulce de leche. You order it because of its sheer unusualness. You eat too much because it’s seriously delicious. The dish works terrifically: The ethereal mousse is lent heft by the perfectly rendered dulce de leche, thinned out with a bit of coffee. And then, just as quickly as you pop a bite, it all melts and then vanishes on the tongue, leaving only the memory of that earthy-sweet dance to mingle with powdered brown butter and huckleberry jam. At its best, the food here now walks the razor’s edge between heady comfort and unexpected exoticism. Octopus is poached with sake, fresno chile, ginger, lemongrass and more until it takes on the texture of a particularly meaty porcini mushroom, then gets hard seared and tossed with red pepper caramel: Magnificent. The accompaniments, however, could have used more focus: Long-neck squash, smoked and cooked sous vide, lacked enough salt, yet the herby couscous was so over-seasoned that I feared my tongue would turn pruny. Desserts just barely missed the mark as well: Monkey bread was a bit too dry, though I loved the candied bacon, and semolina cake could have used a more assertive hit of the Madras curry that was frustratingly evanescent. But they were the few missteps at a restaurant that is both as good as ever and seeking out new avenues to please its guests. The use of curry, for example, in an amuse-bouche of lamb rillette balls was perfectly calibrated, and against the sweet adhesive layer of meyer lemon puree connecting it to the petite slice of homemade brioche, it was a stunning way to start. Brassicas, which brought together broccoli rabe, Napa cabbage, kimchi, charred bok choy and fried, crispy turnip greens with the savory depths of XO sauce and the bright acid of pickled romanesco, is a great vegetarian option, even for carnivores. Cassoulet, if the base reminded just a little more tomato-focused than I’d expected, was nonetheless excellent. Homemade andouille showed up like a surprise every other forkful, borne alongside black-eyed peas of heft and delicacy. But it was the
single fried chicken leg riding shotgun that stole the show: Skin this crisp and flesh this tender is something to cheer—except when I was fighting over the last bite with my wife. (Note: She won.) Oysters were made new with a side cup of pomegranate mignonette, the fruit’s sweetness electrifying the briny bivalves. It’s all washed down with a selection of beer and whiskey as complete and diverse as it’s ever been. And if you get there during happy hour, those drafts are half-off. A pint of floral, vaguely spicy Elysian Oddland Peppercorn Saison seemed custom made to accompany the curried lamb rillettes. The Crisp, from Six Points, worked well with nearly everything else. Of course, you could always go big and opt for a pour of the remaining Pappy Van Winkle 23 holding pride of place behind the bar. It’s $125 for a two-ounce pour—but then again, it’s Pappy 23, so justification is easy if you have the cash and don’t feel like spending money on unnecessary things like food and rent for the rest of the week. There is just so much to love about Stateside—there always has been, and that remains the case now. D’Egidio’s elevation to the helm has resulted in new items and ways of working with ingredients, but the honesty and focus on freshness that have always made Stateside so beloved are still there in abundance. That dulce de leche, it turns out, isn’t the only sweet spot in this East Passyunk standout. It’s as good as ever, and that’s as sweet as it gets.

Kensington and had begun working at a community farming space next to his property at Dauphin and Emerald streets. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to lay down even more roots. Since then, he’s put out three novels (his own, Afghan Post by Adrian Bonemberger and Nathaniel Popkin’s Lion and Leopard), an almanac and a series of chapbooks that’ve become increasing popular, made available via vending machines first at Elixir Coffee Shop and now at Honeygrow in Center City. None of that was part of Esposito’s original business plan. The almanac sounded like a cool idea to bring lots of interesting, new voices together, and the vending machine was the product of some spitballing between Esposito and his cousin, who owns a vending machine business and wanted to branch out of candy and soda. The chapbooks have certainly taken on a life of their own, as has the writer’s workshop Head & the Hand puts together with students and local writers, and their subscription-like publishing project—a take on community-sustained agriculture, in which customers pay an upfront lump sum, then get a package of books throughout the year. Being that Greensgrow Farm is just a few blocks away on Cumberland, Esposito says he didn’t have to explain to neighbors what a CSA or CSP was before moving forward with that idea. “As Philadelphia takes on some of the metropolitan art and culture that seems to be residual from New York’s out-priced industry, publishing will have to find a dynamic, writer-based schema to be a part,” says the Fishtown-based Jeff Markovitz, whose short story “For Olivia” was published as part of H&H’s chapbook series. “I don’t know if the business model is the next phase of independent publishers, but I do think the next wave is independent publishers … I think all indie presses are going to have to identify a niche market and serve it, both intellectually and aesthetically.” Now, each week, says Esposito, part of his route around the city includes stopping at the Center City businesses and restocking H&H product in the vending machines. Of the workshop series, H&H estimates around 50 writers have come through since they opened. Esposito thinks H&H’s presence in Fishtown is something special: There’s no university close by. There’s no big business district. We’re just on our own,” he says. “And if we can make this a vibrant community, that’s monumental. There’s no reason why this neighborhood should be good—except because of the people who live here. And I think that’s really cool.”
P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y. C O M I
ic Esposito may own Philly’s smallest communitysupported press, but he doesn’t necessarily see it that way. Rather, his The Head & the Hand Press is an independent publisher that happens to be in Philadelphia—and the difference is sort of really important. “I think a lot of Philly writers probably unfairly get told, ‘Oh, you’re a local writer,’” says Esposito on the second-floor of the small press’ Fishtown headquarters. “Sometimes you’re not taken seriously because you’re from Philly. A big part of why I started Head & the Hand was that there are great writers and great voices here. This isn’t just a step up from high school, and we’re not just some hobby or club. There are really great artists, and they should be recognized, and they exist in the city of Philadelphia.” That’s sometimes a tough sell, he says, because most people just assume that publishers are in New York, period. And even though Philly boasts a handful of major indie imprints like Running Press and Quirk Books, it’s often still hard for a new press located outside of Manhattan to be taken seriously. “I try not to really take offense when people see our books and say, ‘This is really nice! This is like a real book,’” says Esposito. “I’m like, ‘Yeah, because we’re a real publishing company.’” But getting there—and creating a sense of community in a for-profit setting—has forced him to get creative. So, for the last two years, Esposito, who lives a second life as an urban farmer in East Kensington, has created a “Think globally, act locally” kind of business, bringing writers from around the country into his for-profit venture as published authors in both long and short formats, attempting to create something that reflects the uniqueness pulsing through Frankford Avenue’s lower corridor. With a background in nonprofit business and agriculture, Esposito originally moved to West Philadelphia after about four years of living throughout the Americas, including California, Washington and parts of South America. He co-founded Philly Rooted, a nonprofit dedicated to city agriculture; he even gave a TED talk on the issue in 2010 titled “Urban Green Thumb.” Calling himself a bit burned out a year later—especially of the nonprofit scene—he’d been working on his first novel, Seeds of Discent, and spoke to a friend who manages artists, asking if that person would help manage him. The friend said no, but came up with a better idea: he said, You know what you should do? You should start a publishing company. So, Esposito did. And he decided to do it in Fishtown. After all, he was living about three blocks from Frankford Ave. in East

High Quality RetroHash After an enviable debut and a slew of mix tapes, Asher Roth isn’t aiming to please on his sophomore LP. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com
A CANADA FEATURED NATION
The Global LGBT Summit May 1 – 4, 2014 Philadelphia www.equalityforum.com
sher Roth hasn’t cut his hair in two years. You can see photos of him with his “hair like a troll doll”— as he rapped on “Lark On My Go Kart”—in the PW story from April 2009 when we put him on the cover, fresh off the explosive success of “I Love College,” an anthem that celebrated the carefree days of keg parties and crawling to the cafeteria the next day with a hangover. (The West Chester University Lawrence Dining Hall, to be specific.) Five years later, the Morristown native’s sophomore album, RetroHash, due out April 22nd, reflects his new Californian sensibilities: it’s a chill hang suite with jazzy melodies and trippy atmospherics. And the press photos make him look like a vegan who’s just found Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. We’re not mad. Roth ended up in L.A. by virtue of staying in close proximity to the producers and co-conspirators with whom he most enjoys making music. What they’ve come up with for RetroHash is pretty far off from his 2009 debut, Asleep in the Bread Aisle, while being obviously akin to it. There’s less hard rapping yet still some strong flows, with more attention paid to vibes and sincerity. Roth, like most musicians, was aiming at timelessness, something that could be enjoyed in all contexts for years to come. “I’ve always been about feel and content,” he tells PW, musing on how versatile LPs are the ones he’s always loved, albums anyone could “throw on in any era: in the car, in the living room, something I can make breakfast to. I don’t want it to be a record I can only listen to working out or whatever.” There are clear strains of distinctly jazz-tinged hip-hop that made its mark in the ‘90s on this one, and the mention of some all-time favorite acts from that mix—like The Pharcyde and Digable Planets—seemed to hit home with Roth. He’s pumped to hear that Retrohash sounds like it culls from those talents. Since Asleep, Roth’s collaborated on and put out a handful of free mixtapes—Seared Foie Gras with Quince and Cranberry (2010), The Rawth EP (2010), Pabst & Jazz (2011) and last year’s The Greenhouse Effect Vol. 2—but RetroHash is basically his second LP for sale. For a minute, Roth stupidly shunned the idea of playing the buzz-earning hits from Asleep, but wised up pronto. “My shit jumped off really quickly, and I had to really get my ego in check,” he admits. “I was … very impressionable and still a kid. I tried to do that with Pabst & Jazz and was very stubborn. Like ‘I’m just gonna play this new shit and nothing else.’” Needless to say, his stance didn’t go over very well. “People are there to vibe out and hear what’s familiar to them,” he knows now. So he and his band “vibe it out” to “Blunt Cruisin’” and “Sour Patch Kids,” he claims—and “it still goes off.” By the way, just ‘cause Roth’s got a band doesn’t mean he’s got a crew. “I do somewhat keep to myself,” he confesses. “All these guys have their cliques, and I’m not really a part of that. It’s interesting because I’ve become an observer. These kids are rolling eight or nine deep, and I show up with my girlfriend.” It’s his lack of drive to fit in, to strive towards a marketable package, that’s working in his favor now. But he’s also fully aware that every unknown artist with a SoundCloud

page is one hit away from stardom. The fresh video for “Tangerine Girl” offers an encouraging glimpse into what Roth’s future holds. It’s funny. It’s a little psychedelic. But it’s real—the story of a fly roller-skating girl who gets picked up at the rink and wrangled into mediocre sex (that the dude is clearly more into than she is)—and it’s approachable, something that earned Roth his biggest and best fans. “I think the relatability of that record is part of what I do,” he says. “I’m unapologetically white, and we never really had a distinct voice in hip-hop. Even when [Eminem] came in, he was still a voice that didn’t necessarily rep kids from Bucks County. The ‘College’ record definitely gave me a foundation of fans that want to relate to hip-hop music.” Speaking of records and hip-hop, Roth still doesn’t understand why Philadelphia doesn’t get the hip-hop love it’s owed. “I romanticize Philly like crazy,” he says. “I don’t really know what the deal is; I don’t know why it doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Why aren’t the Roots the first name out of someone’s mouth when they talk about hip-hop?” Loyalty-bred frustrations aside, a ready-for-anything Roth says he’s “in a great place. I’m in a much better position out of the major label hierarchy of approval and permission. I’m just way less concerned with what everybody else thinks.” Wed., April 2, 8pm. $12-$15.

SCREEN REVIEW
Enemy
Surprise, surprise: Jake Gyllenhaal is just the latest dude in a long line of ‘em who’ve been granted spooky twins by Hollywood magic.
PERSPECTIVE
Me, Myself and I
Why do women tend to get the short end of the doppelganger stick? By Genevieve Valentine // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com
T
he doppelganger of legend is almost universally an omen of bad luck. To see the doppelganger of a loved one heralds misfortune; to see one’s own heralds death. Occasionally a doppelganger tale is merely uncanny rather than overtly malicious, but even then, the psychological underpinnings of this apparition are the same: the idea of identity as fragile enough to be overturned at any moment. Under these auspices, Enemy’s sense of inevitable disaster falls under the umbrella of folklore shorthand, and even when the film doesn’t quite earn that antagonism, there’s that same inherited resonance at work. To face oneself is always a portent of doom. (See review, right.) But it’s striking that, despite the doppelganger not being a particularly gendered construct in itself, how often this particular double feature is about men, and how often their inevitable competition is over a woman. In the storied history of doppelganger films, there are more men than women (for every Mulholland Drive, there’s The Prestige, Schizopolis, and even Journey to the Far Side of the Moon). And women in doppelganger movies about men are often reduced to love interests with a sinister twist: Dead Ringers might take the trophy for creepiest fight by doubles over a woman, but there’s no shortage of contenders. It seems to be a central conceit of such doppelganger stories that the suffering of women is a byproduct of exploring a man’s identity. Is masculine identity so easily broken that laying claim to a woman is the only way to claim a win? (Even Metropolis, which has a female double in Maria’s Maschinenmensch revolutionary, positions the pair of women as the construct of one man to galvanize another.) It’s an apt coincidence that Enemy is one of two doppelganger movies coming out this year. (The other, Richard Ayoade’s forthcoming The Double, is based on the eponymous Dostoyevsky story, as Enemy is adapted from José Saramago’s novel, The Double.) Enemy concerns the usual preoccupations of the cinematic doppelganger trope—a man who realizes the world is, in fact, big enough for more than one of him, and the freefall of identity that follows. But Enemy also uses women as
plot points, a proof of identity crisis and convenient outward object of the doubles’ inevitable competition. Naturally, a doppelganger story is a story of the self, and on a symbolic level, a woman courted by doubles is simply sleeping with two metaphysical versions of her beloved. But—and this is the trick—such a thing is never obvious to the doppelgangers in question. And so while Enemy treats Anthony as villainous for asserting his dominance by demanding a weekend with Mary, Adam’s unwitting girlfriend, and the film seems to provide Adam a redemption arc when he refuses to enact revenge by sleeping with Helen, Anthony’s wife, it’s in a scene intercut with Anthony and Mary’s sex. The last-minute cold feet could position Adam as the good twin, if one can forget that he’s effectively sent his girlfriend out to be raped. (Mary discovers the ruse and understandably panics. It’s the second time in Enemy a man has tried to have sex with her without her consent; the first time, it was Adam.) If Mary were a character of any depth, this might ring horrific, but in a movie that opens in a movie-issue underground club with a woman masturbating for an audience of men, it’s hard to believe the film’s sympathies lie with its women. They’re symbolic, objects of desire and maybe even supernatural, but—as in many a doppelganger flick—it’s not their identities with which the movie is concerned. It’s worth noting that Sarah Gadon, as Helen, transcends the beatific-mother archetype. No stranger to clawing through a sidelined role in an artsy thriller, her performance rings with otherworldly anxiety and a gaze that seems to cut the fourth wall. Her domestic scene with an increasingly wracked Adam is the film’s most interesting, as we see her catch on to the switch and quietly wrest control of the situation—a welcome moment of agency. In the language of film, a doppelganger is a dangerous apparition, an iconic specter of the unknowable other, of one’s own mercurial identity and of some doomed misfortune. But as Enemy’s tragic women handily remind us, there’s a lingering question of whose misfortune, exactly, runs deepest.
“Chaos is order yet undeciphered,” claims an intertitle early in Enemy. Later, panicked protagonist Adam Bell (Jake Gyllenhaal) excuses his hyperventilating while trying to reach out over the phone: “When I get excited, I just act a little strange.” Somewhere between those claims lies the thematic bulk of Enemy, a doppelganger story with a lot more style than substance. Adam, a dissatisfied history professor, is jolted from listlessness after discovering Anthony Claire, a bit-part actor and Adam’s uncanny double. After a long pursuit that ratchets up dread for their first meeting, the doubles proceed to invade one another’s lives by way of the women in them: Adam’s girlfriend, Mary (Mélanie Laurent, squandered), and Anthony’s wife, Helen (Sarah Gadon, practically vibrating with quiet tension). Whatever the structural shortcomings, Gyllenhaal’s performance, around which the film pivots, is smartly nuanced. Rather than polar opposites who share a likeness, Adam and Anthony are on a smaller, tighter continuum of restless narcissism. Anthony’s excitement at inhabiting Adam is sly thespian sociopathy, but despite being more concerned with the Why, Adam stalls out even as Anthony threatens to consume him. Director Denis Villeneuve, hot off the heels of the ultranoir Prisoners, opens the lens wide to encompass a Toronto so dingy as to be hopeless, expansive skylines and anonymous high-rises underscoring how easy it is to lose oneself anywhere. There are also Cronenberg-esque moments of surreal body horror that add speculative mystique, even if wrapped in half-hearted eroticism that feels like a holdover from a previous cinema generation. Still, despite the stylish veneer and the subtle duo performance at its center, Enemy’s underlying aura of inevitability comes off less like a study of the treachery of identity than a noir setup in search of resonance it can’t quite find.

Cesar Chavez
REVIEW
Cesar Chavez Though it’s billed as a biopic, those who come to Cesar Chavez hoping for an insightful portrait will be disappointed. Though Michael Peña carries some intensity beneath his largely-affable Chávez, his presence is nearly universally beatific. It’s understandable; the film unfairly carries the weight of telling a story a generation removed from the public eye, almost necessitating an educational rather than internal approach, and there’s too much in play to do both justice. As a result or by design, the movie is too impressionistic to examine anyone’s character for long. Director Diego Luna’s more concerned with scope; Chávez is less a focus than a locus for the Delano grape strike and the growth of the UFW. While the supporting cast lacks much to do, America Ferrera spikes her scenes with the palpable toll of activist work, and though the timeline is sometimes so impressionistic as to be murky, muted details—a minimal score, man-on-the-ground camerawork with an occasional sun-drenched vista of an abandoned grape field—provide immediacy as events unfold. And those events are the movie’s real passion. The accumulation of slights, growers in friendly collusion with the police, news segments: all drive home how crucial a moment Chávez occupied, which the movie parallels as a clearly present danger. When growers open fire on a handful of protestors as police stand idly by, only deterred by the arrival of press, the scene draws intensity from its deliberate modern relevance as much as from within its own story. “You have this annoying habit of turning everything into a lesson,” Fernando tells Chávez, and he’s not wrong. Cesar Chavez might be deserving of similar criticism. It’s too tempered to be stirring, but it’s a thoughtful glimpse of a story whose time has, unfortunately, come again.(G.V.)

Worth Every Penny How one artist imbues cents with a new sensibility.
S
tacey Lee Webber is pounding the hell out of the screw on her anvil. We’re in a corner of her workspace at the converted Globe Dye Works factory in Port Richmond, where Webber shows off the moves of a blacksmith, forging something new out of base ore. But what she’s doing is the reverse of what a blacksmith does. She’s not making the screw, she’s unmaking it; flattening it out until its spirals become a teeth on a flat line of brass. She holds it up, now completely removed from its original function in any way, shape or form, with a distinct air of pride. Unmade, the screw is now something she can use. Webber works in mass-produced items with low value, and then meticulously removes the very thing that gave item any value at all. Her screws can no longer hold pieces of wood together, flattened as they are and soldered into explosive brass blos-
soms. That cufflink where Abraham Lincoln’s profile is freed from the surrounding copper can no longer be used as legal tender. By taking away their traditional use, she transforms the low-priced to the priceless. She started working with pennies at the start of the economic collapse; she was fascinated not just with the apparently transient value of our money, but also the increasingly devalued nature of manual labor. Her first pieces were life-size construction tools made of soldered-together pennies, sturdy silhouettes of work made fragile and hollow. “I needed to make work about this whole dynamic of the economy that was kind of falling over at the time,” Webber says. “I come from a lineage of laborers, so I started looking at my own history and thinking about the value of my labor and time.” Webber’s work has gotten a fair amount of notoriety—she’s had a piece collected in the

coins, leaving the head of the Roman god in a perfect square. These are soldered into mosaic tiles, which in turn will make up the tray. The value of the coins themselves is indistinct: the commissioner had inherited the dimes, and they had too much emotional value to sell, but not enough to keep intact. Webber frequently gets commissions from people who have coin collections that they have no idea what do with. Some of these collections would be quite valuable—to someone who values coin collections. Without the passion or the knowledge of the collector, these collections become merely their raw materials. No longer symbols of wealth or history, they are only so many pieces of silver. Even though Webber is thoroughly transforming the coins, she is, in essence, returning the material to its roots. Through age and scarcity, they achieved a precious, aesthetic value, kept in a box and hidden away. By turning them into something other than money, she’s giving them a practical value again—a utility. Webber and her husband share a living space next to their workshop. After spending so much time around her work, I’m not surprised that she’s converted a factory floor into a unique space, full of handcrafted touches. She shows me her pet turtle, and pulls out a jar of its shed shell scales. They’re gorgeous shards of mottled color, and I can see the ache in her eyes of wanting to show off this cast-off beauty in a new form. “I think they’re so freaking cool, but I don’t want to touch them at the same time,” she says. “Anything I would do sounds cheesy.” n

Smithsonian’s Renwick gallery—and does a brisk business in jewelry, her modified coins as centerpieces of cufflinks and necklaces. Turning something literally worth one cent to a precious museum piece is a rare trick, something that’s not lost on either the artist or her customers. “It’s usually blue-collar guys, a construction worker who’s made a lot of money,” she says, describing her typical customer. The kind of person who would appreciate something elevated from a humble origin. All this transmogrification is done by hand, with tiny saws, large hammers and invisible lines of solder. In makes a skewed sort of sense that in order for Webber to turn a penny into the equivalent of jewel, she has to turn something spit out by a factory into a handcrafted item. Looking at the jewelry and works of art in her workshop, I’m struck by just how arbitrary our value of objects is. A penny is worth one cent because it has “one cent” engraved on its face. Webber only uses pennies from before 1982; that was when they stopped being made of solid copper and, instead, began being minted of copper-covered zinc, because there’d come the point at which a penny’s worth of copper was now worth more than the monetary value stamped onto it. That change means a lot to Webber, because she can’t solder zinc. But to anyone else, it’s still a one-cent coin, no matter what the actual metal is worth. So much of value is mutable. Webber shows me another project she’s working on now, a commissioned tray made of silver Mercury dimes. She’s cut the curves off the

READERS: A crowd of smart, engaged students packed a theater for Savage Love Live at Centenary College of Louisiana last week. Centenary is a terrific liberal-arts school in Shreveport. Centenary students submitted more Qs than I could possibly A in the 90 minutes I had with them. So here are some bonus answers to questions I didn’t get to during my time there. How does a young person learning to accept their sexuality come to terms with losing the unconditional love of their family? You can’t lose something you never had. You weren’t aware of the conditional nature of your family’s love until you accepted yourself and asked your family to do the same. That’s how you discovered their love for you came with at least one condition: You had to be straight or be closeted. Now here’s a paradox for you: You lost the illusion of your family’s unconditional love when you came out, but coming out could win you their unconditional love in the end. Stand your ground, demand their love and respect—and your family, like the families of so many other queers, may grow to love and accept you for who you really are. It could take some time. But one day, you may be able to look back and see that your sexuality didn’t cost you your family’s unconditional love—it won it for you. What do you do when your male friend who is already in a relationship wants to have sex with you but lets you know via social media? You block him or fuck him—or you fuck him and then block him. How can you have a conversation with a man about his sexual performance without making him feel like you’re criticizing him? By opening with a compliment, closing with a compliment and making sure everything that comes between your opening compliment and closing compliment is also a compliment. How can we be sure that having an “open” relationship won’t hurt our relationship? You can’t be sure that openness won’t hurt your relationship. But you can’t be sure that closedness won’t hurt your relationship, either. Yes, sometimes relationships end after people open them up— and openness gets the blame, even if it had nothing to do with the breakup. But plenty of tightly closed/strictly monogamous relationships end every day. It’s possible that many of those failed monogamous relationships could’ve been saved by some openness, a little leeway or embracing monogamishamy. I have been in a relationship with a married woman for five years. What are the odds that she will leave her spouse to be in a committed relationship with me instead? I put the odds at zero. Unless this woman is in an honest, open relationship with her husband, and LTRs with other men are allowed, her relationship with you is proof that she’s not much good at this commitment stuff. By which I mean to say: Even if she did leave her husband for you, it would be
foolish of you to expect to have a committed relationship with her, as she’s currently not committed to the man to whom she’s committed. What makes you think she’ll commit to you? Can it hurt a long-term, monogamous relationship if you had multiple sexual partners/experiences before? Or rather, how do you feel about sleeping around before marriage? People who marry young—people who are likelier to have married without having had multiple partners—divorce at much higher rates than more experienced people who marry later in life. Sleeping around before marriage seems to help people figure out what they want. Or it helps them figure out whether what they were taught to want is actually what they do want. And someone who knows what they want is likelier to keep any long-term, monogamous commitments that they make. Could I possibly be allergic to sperm? You could! Possibly! Dr. Debby Herbenick, while filling in for me on Savage Love Letter of the Day duties recently, covered the topic of why some people are sensitive—sensitive to the point of explosive diarrhea—to semen: “Prostaglandins are substances made by the body and that the body is sensitive to. Semen contains prostaglandins— and prostaglandins can have a laxative effect on people. Related: If you’ve ever felt a little looseygoosey right before getting your period, that’s also thanks to prostaglandins (which spike just before your period). Prostaglandins are also used to induce labor. So why don’t more semen swallowers find themselves running to the bathroom postblowjob? Fortunately, we’re not all so sensitive to prostaglandins. I don’t know why most people aren’t extra-sensitive, but fortunately most of us aren’t, or there would probably be a lot less swallowing in the world.” Dr. Herbenick is a research scientist at Indiana University, a sexual-health educator at the Kinsey Institute, and a frequent Savage Love guest expert—and you can and should follow her on Twitter @DebbyHerbenick. What is the difference between a Methodist and a Baptist? There’s no difference between a Methodist and a Baptist, according to my Catholic grandma. They’re both going to hell. What is the percentage of people who find male partners with the perfect penis? Perfect size, shape, length, girth, head-to-shaft differential? There’s no research out there on this issue—no one has thought to pick the brains of folks who have successfully landed male partners with perfect penises—and I’m not sure such studies would even be possible. Because penis preferences are subjective: One person’s perfect penis is the next person’s imperfect penis. And isn’t the person to whom a particular penis is attached at least as important as the size, texture, head-to-shaft differential, etc. of any given penis? Imagine if you made it your life’s work to locate the world’s perfect penis—perfect length, girth, bouquet, flavor, mouthfeel, etc.— only to discover that the penis is attached to Bill O’Reilly. Could that penis still be called perfect?
