WhErE arE ThE ‘rosEannE’ characTErs noW? By Erica Thompson Rosanne Cash’s upcoming performance at the McCoy Center for the Performing Arts got us thinking about another famous Roseanne: Ms. Barr, the controversial comedian. Love or hate her, Roseanne’s self-titled sitcom was a TV juggernaut, and viewers appreciated seeing a working-class family (or, according to my mom, it was nice to see a family struggling with bills) on TV. While we could write pages about all of the show’s guest stars (JosephGordon Levitt, Sandra Bernhard, Tom Arnold, etc.), here are some updates on the whereabouts of the major players.

David Healy (Johnny Galecki) Galecki portrayed Darlene Conner’s brooding, basement-dwelling boyfriend, who married her despite being treated like trash throughout their relationship. Currently a star on the long-running “The Big Bang Theory,” he is one of the most successful “Roseanne” actors.

Mark Healy (Glenn Quinn)

As Becky Conner’s boyfriend and eventual husband, Quinn’s character was written as a bad boy who became the butt of tiresome jokes because of his low IQ. Sadly, Quinn died from a heroin overdose in 2002.

Beverly Harris (Estelle Parsons) Parsons shined as Roseanne’s overbearing mother and one of the show’s LGBTQ characters. After the show, she continued to work in TV and on stage, and was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 2004.

Jackie Harris (Laurie Metcalf) Hands-down one of the most talented actors on the show, Laurie Metcalf appeared as Roseanne’s

Roseanne Barr unlucky-in-love sister. Since the show, Metcalf has continued her impressive career in TV, film and on stage, recently garnering a Tony nomination for her role in the Broadway production of “Misery.”

D.J. Conner (Michael Aaron Fishman) The cute kid brother and subsequent awkward adolescent — whose storylines paled in comparison to those featuring his sisters — was played by Fishman, who went on to gain behind-the-camera experience with set-building.

Becky Conner-Healy #1 (Alicia Goranson) After messing up the continuity of the show by leaving to go to college (yes, I’m still bitter), Goranson has had small roles in films and guest appearances on TV shows such as “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “Sex and the City.”

Becky Conner-Healy #2 (Sarah Chalke) Following “Roseanne,” Chalke enjoyed a longstanding role on beloved TV show “Scrubs.” So even though I despised “Becky #2,”

she kinda won the battle against “Becky #1” in real life.

Darlene Conner (Sara Gilbert) Perhaps the only other character as sarcastic as Roseanne, Darlene was portrayed by Gilbert, who is now a cohost on daytime talk show “The Talk.” She’s also married to 4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry.

Dan Conner (John Goodman) After starring as one of TV’s most adored father-figures (until the show annoyed me again by writing in Dan’s affair with his mother’s nurse), Goodman went on to a stellar career that includes a Screen Actor’s Guild Award for “Argo.” And check out his scenestealing turns in “Fallen” and “Flight,” both opposite Denzel Washington.

Roseanne Conner (Roseanne Barr/Arnold/Barr) Judging on “Last Comic Standing” and hosting the ID Channel’s “Momsters: When Moms Go Bad” are some activities that have kept the “Roseanne” matriarch busy recently. Oh, and there was her 2012 presidential campaign on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket, which somehow doesn’t seem as outrageous as it did back then.

The rise of Andrew Anglin’s neo-Nazi website, the Daily Stormer BY JOEL OLIPHINT AND ANDY DOWNING

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 9, 2017

the early afternoon of Saturday, Jan. 14, a brown-brick office complex in an unremarkable section of suburban Worthington is on lockdown. A security guard and an off-duty police officer hired by building management stand beneath the cantilevered structure, making sure no one goes in or out. The cop smokes cigarettes and stares across the parking lot, where, in a narrow span of green space abutting High Street, a group of 40 or so protesters hunch their shoulders, rock on their heels and toes and pace across the grass to keep warm in the gray, nearly freezing drizzle. In front of the building’s large geometric sign that reads “Executive Corporate Center,” people hold posterboard placards with slogans like, “Worthington is not a safe space for Nazis,” “Nazis cash checks here” and “Greg Anglin takes Nazi $.”

protesters uneventfully, he affixes his gaze elsewhere. Their paranoia isn’t unfounded. Earlier that week, users on the Daily Stormer’s message board went to the ARA’s Facebook event page for the protest and found the names of people who indicated they were attending or interested in the event and began posting photos, addresses and other personal information about the potential protesters. The tactic, known as “doxing,” is used periodically by the Daily Stormer’s “Troll Army” and Andrew Anglin, who has also partnered with notorious hacker Andrew Auernheimer (aka weev) to target those who oppose his cause, particularly if the target is Jewish or a person of color. Though the protesters are cautious, they aren’t dissuaded. One Worthington couple came to “raise awareness that it’s right here in our backyard.” Another middle-aged couple drove down from Morrow County to “hold a light in the dark.” “I think people are afraid to talk about things in the dark. It’s terrifying to them. They’d rather pretend it’s not there,” said ARA protester Gail Burkholder, who first knew Anglin as “Drew,” a student in her preschool class at Calumet Christian School in Clintonville. “My background is I’m Jewish. I grew up in New York — in Trump Village, by the way — surrounded by neighbors with [Holocaust number] tattoos on their arms. That was my childhood. … You could ask, ‘Are you scared to go to the rally?’ That implies choice. It’s in my genetic makeup that I absolutely have to do this. There’s no fear whatsoever.”

rior to launching the Daily Stormer, Andrew Anglin was simply Andy, a high school freshman at Worthington’s Linworth Alternative school, where he attended classes beginning in 1999 after attending Worthington Christian Middle School. He would later transfer to Worthington Kilbourne High School, graduating on June 8, 2003, according to the school. In interviews, five high school classmates, who asked not to be named for fear of repercussions, described Anglin as quirky, funny and nice — but also standoffish and occasionally antagonistic. (Published details were corroborated by multiple sources.)

At the time, he was a devout vegan. “But he wasn’t that kind of vegan,” said one former friend, describing other vegan students who carefully researched their diets. “He was the guy who ate a bag of Fritos and that was his meal for the day.” Others recalled Anglin going so far as to shop for vegan skateboarding shoes. Anglin’s individualistic streak exhibited itself in his appearance. The first week of freshman year he arrived for school sporting self-styled dreadlocks, with his hair divided into squares and each square twisted into a dread-like spiral. His typical uniform included baggy hooded sweatshirts and outsized JNCO or UFO pants, and acquaintances alternately described his style as “hippy grunge” or “Nirvana-meets-somemusic-fest-spiritual.” At one point, he

stopped wearing a hat emblazoned with the Independent Truck Company logo because another student purchased the same cap. “He was like, ‘Now I can’t wear that hat,’” said a classmate. “He didn’t want to be the same as anybody else.” Friends said Anglin was smart, but unmotivated. “It was one of those cases where if he would have applied himself he could have done very well,” said one. He was, however, politically and socially engaged — though at the far opposite end of the spectrum from where he currently resides. “We were all socially liberal, and he was in line with everybody in our small, alternative school,” said a friend. His favorite bands at the time mirrored this worldview: Propagandhi, Dead Kennedys and Crass.

Inside the building, located at 6827 N. High St., is a digital directory of businesses at the address, and under suite 121, it lists Morningstar Ministries and Greg Anglin, who has leased the 1,700-square-foot group of offices since 2010. The Nazi connection comes from his son, 32-year-old Andrew Anglin, a Worthington native who runs the world’s most-visited white supremacist website, the Daily Stormer. Until recently, the Daily Stormer accepted mailed donations through Greg Anglin’s office suite. Andrew Anglin boldly embraces a Nazi ideology on the Daily Stormer and spreads his message through short, news-related posts riddled with racial epithets. “I ask myself this, in all things: WWHD? (What Would Hitler Do?),” he wrote in a 2015 Daily Stormer post. Before the protest, the Worthington address and its connection to the Anglins was an open secret of sorts, sitting on the Daily Stormer’s “Contributions” page, one click away from the home page. Picketers from the Columbus chapter of Anti-Racist Action (ARA), along with chapters from Cleveland and Louisville, plus members of Showing Up for Racial Justice and other like-minded groups, hope that by exposing the source of the Daily Stormer’s snail-mail funding they can hobble its donation pipeline. “They’re not only spreading hate, but some of its followers are endorsing attacks against Jews and Somalis,” said Olivia Flak, an ARA organizer. “We wanted to raise awareness. By drawing attention to this and what they’re about, it says, ‘Hey, look. This is not a joke. Here’s what’s going on. Look at this website. See what’s going on in your community.’” The protesters chant boldly (“No Nazis! No KKK! No more fascist USA!”) and intermittently give short, impassioned speeches through a megaphone (“We demand that Greg Anglin stop cashing Andy’s checks!”), but an uneasy paranoia also infuses the gathering. Some in the crowd partially cover their faces. Most don’t want their photos taken or last names used. At one point, a gray-haired male organizer, who’s using binoculars to monitor the surroundings, keeps close watch on a white sedan idling in a parking lot a block or so away. When the car makes a lazy left turn and drives past the

best described his family life as “normal,” noting Andrew’s strong relationship with his father. In a January video-conference interview with an ABC/Fox affiliate in Montana, Anglin said, “I get along fine with my parents. Hopefully human relationships can go beyond politics. I would hope so.” But Anglin could be unpredictable. Three classmates described one high school gathering where Anglin repeatedly slammed his head into the sidewalk in front of the house where the party was taking place. Similarly, the walls of Anglin’s childhood bedroom were dotted with indentations, owing to a predilection for slamming his head into things when lashing out, according to multiple friends. Beginning during his sophomore year, some classmates noted a marked change in Anglin. His moods could be more unpredictable, and he started to provoke older students to fight, “like he wanted to get hit,” one person explained. Another longtime friend put it more bluntly, saying, “If you go out for a drink [with Anglin], then you’re either going to fight or stop someone from kicking his head in. He just doesn’t care.”

Andrew Anglin

“When people used homophobic or racist slurs around him [in high school], he was very outspoken about saying that was not OK,” said an acquaintance. “And that has stuck with me to this day. It’s ingrained in me. He was so adamant about that, and it opened my eyes a little bit.” In an autobiographical March 2015 Daily Stormer post, Anglin addressed his early liberal views, writing, “I was not really ever a liberal, in the SJW (Social Justice Warrior) sense, as they are fighting for the system which is something I never did.” (While Anglin initially responded via email to Alive, he didn’t respond to specific interview requests.) Even in high school, Anglin was something of a provocateur, though his targets were generally conservative leaders, like President George W. Bush, or fundamentalist Christianity. One friend noted he had unique perspectives on myriad topics, which made him an

interesting conversationalist since it was impossible to predict what he might say next. In January 2006, Anglin, then in his early 20s, was arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia after getting caught with a pipe containing marijuana residue. He was also charged with possession of a controlled substance for having less than 100 grams of marijuana. The paraphernalia charge was amended to disorderly conduct, and the court dismissed the other charge. Anglin eventually pleaded guilty to the disorderly conduct charge and was fined $100 plus costs, which his father paid. In December, Anglin filed to have the drug charge expunged from his record, which would require an in-person court appearance. No court date had been scheduled as of press time. Regardless of the rare brush with the law, Anglin never appeared to get into trouble at home. Those who knew him

fter Anglin transferred to Worthington Kilbourne, he lost touch with many of his Linworth Alternative classmates. He ditched his vegan diet, which was the first attribute anyone mentioned when discussing his teen years. More recently, Anglin authored a May 2015 Daily Stormer post encouraging readers to “Take the Stormer 30 Day Paleo Challenge,” which included a passage about meat being a staple of any diet (“All forms of meat are good forms of meat”). In 2007, two freshman-year friends had strikingly similar run-ins with Anglin. On both occasions, Anglin expressed a deep interest in conspiracy theory and, in particular, reptilian humanoids, a concept that posits global leaders either are, or are controlled by, lizard-like beings. These theories would form the backbone of Anglin’s first forays into blogging on his site Adventure Quest 2012, which launched with a post laying forth the site’s mission to mend “the wounds produced by modern society … and [help] the reader transcend these physical bonds and reach total

ascendancy.” “To mend these wounds,” Anglin wrote, “the world must learn to embrace diversity and color.” Later posts would delve into the lives of reptilians and humanoid sharks. After high school, biographical details on Anglin grow hazy. He took classes at Columbus State Community College in 2003, and, at age 23, he moved to the Philippines, where he taught English and spent a few years bouncing around Southeast Asia. Anglin’s current whereabouts remain unknown. Citing FBI sources and Anglin’s social media activity, a November 2016 Huffington Post article believed him to reside in Germany, while rumors have placed him everywhere from Russia to right here in Columbus. In an undated photo provided to Alive, Anglin sits beneath an umbrella advertising Gerolsteiner mineral water — a German brand. Writing on his blog True Fascism, a precursor to the Daily Stormer first launched in 2012, Anglin described an affinity for Filipinos, referring to them as “a civilized, non-aggressive and industrious people.” Over time, however, he started to believe it impossible to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships with the island dwellers, owing to what he described as “minds … as primitive as their living.” “While living in the jungle, I began drinking too much of a strong coconut wine brewed by the locals, began to feel deeply depressed and alone, and eventually left that life behind, forever,” he wrote. “It was only among my own kind — those of the European race — that I would ever be able to share true kinship, as it is only they who share my blood, and can understand my soul. … By the Grace of God, I found Adolf Hitler.” After delving deeper into the writings of Hitler and former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, Anglin launched the short-lived Total Fascism, which included long-form posts about everything from Hitler’s artwork to a written desire to round up non-white immigrants and place them in concentration camps “until they can be shipped back to wherever they are from.”

“You read some of these articles where he’s trying to work his readers into a frenzy, and there will be instructions. It’ll be phrased as a game: ‘Troll Stormer Army, go do this, that and the other. Here’s how to do it. This will be fun.’ ...That’s all very familiar to anyone who’s been on the worst parts of the internet in the last four or five years.” In late December, Anglin generated national headlines when he announced plans to stage an armed march in Whitefish, Montana, a tiny ski-resort town that is also the part-time residence of controversial white supremacist Richard Spencer, widely credited with coining the term “alt-right.” Anglin said the march, organized in response to what he viewed as community-wide efforts to silence Spencer by harassing his mother, a Whitefish resident, was to include demonstrators carrying “high-powered rifles.” The rally, initially planned for Monday, Jan. 16 (Martin Luther King Jr. Day), fell through a week before it was scheduled to take place, and afterward it was revealed Anglin had submitted an incomplete permit application to the city of Whitefish. He later attributed the permit refusal to “Jewish trickery.” Anglin combines his internet savvy with a deep love for and knowledge of Nazi propaganda. The Daily Stormer, in fact, is named after Der Stürmer, a weekly Nazi newspaper published by Julius Streicher in the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. Hankes said Anglin quite purposefully talks about the same subjects (the “Jewish problem,” blackon-white violence, etc.) over and over again in much the same way Streicher and others in the Nazi propaganda machine once did. “[The Daily Stormer] is designed to talk about issues in one category, hitting the same ideological points in every single one of them,” Hankes said. “It’s a type of

indoctrination. It’s literally how effective propaganda works. He’s that sophisticated with it. He has a thought-out plan, and he’s committed to it.” Despite his site’s popularity, Anglin isn’t universally revered among alt-right leaders. Some of the criticism is due to his past. “He’s a controversial figure within the white supremacist movement because he lived in Asia and the Philippines, and at one time he had relationships with Asian and Filipino women, which is considered something that is traitorous by white supremacists,” Mayo said. “He’s also controversial because he’s a misogynist and has attacked and belittled women, including white women, on his site. There are women in the white supremacist movement who have taken note of that.” Others in the movement don’t like his troll-heavy approach. White nationalist

website Counter-Currents argued in 2014 that the Daily Stormer “is designed to appeal to whites of all social classes who are below average in intelligence, morality, and taste.” That same year, the Alternative Right blog wrote that “hatred, among the weak and the feeble, is often simply transmogrified fear, which is one of the odours emanating from The Daily Stormer and its audience, who feel attracted to Anglin’s schtick.” “There’s a real healthy debate going on in a lot of different areas about whether trolling is the right tactic and whether that flippant tone is ultimately going to help [white nationalists] cross the finish line with the white nation,” said Hankes, who noted that extremist alt-right leaders are “all total contrarians. ... They’re their own worst enemies. They will eat each other alive if you push them in the right direction.”

March of 2013, the web domain dailystormer.com was registered using the email gregorymarkanglin@yahoo.com and the Ohio mailing address of 6827 N. High St., Worthington, and a few months later, on July 4, Andrew Anglin debuted his new white nationalist website, which did away with Total Fascism’s wordy essays in favor of short, obscenely racist takes on breaking news. Historically, Stormfront.org had been the online hub of neo-Nazi activity, but last summer the Daily Stormer took over as the most-read white supremacist website in the world, and during the culmination of the presidential campaign last fall, the site’s readership spiked considerably. Dailystormer.com now enjoys more than 10 milllion page views from nearly half a million unique monthly visitors, according to estimates from Alexa, a company that charts commercial web-traffic data. Compared to sites like Stormfront, the Daily Stormer targets and appeals to a younger demographic that is more familiar with internet subcultures incubated on sites like 4chan and 8chan. (“I had always been into 4chan, as I am at heart a troll,” Anglin wrote in a 2015 post.) The image-heavy site is littered with familiar alt-right symbols (Pepe the Frog, swastikas, Hitler and, more recently, President Trump aka “Our Glorious Leader”) and large headlines laced with ethnic slurs. A recent smattering: “Terrorist Jew Rat Sarah Silverman Calls for a Military Coup Against Trump,” “Jews, Capitalists and Catladies Pour Money Into ACLU to Keep Invaders in America” and “Barack Obama has a Message for the Kike Schumer.” “Anglin is a provocateur. He purposefully uses provocative and extreme language to rally his supporters,” said Marilyn Mayo, a research fellow with the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks extremists like Anglin. “He’s definitely on the more extreme end of the alt-right. … You have people who hold his views but don’t use the same kind of virulently racist and anti-Semitic language he uses. And he tends to use that language all the time.” “A lot of it is highly participatory,” said the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Keegan Hankes, who has closely followed Anglin’s activities since the Daily Stormer debuted.

Racist online screeds sometimes cross over into the real world. After Dylann Roof killed nine black people at a church in Charleston, S.C., the Daily Stormer’s profile was raised when it came to light that parts of Roof’s manifesto were found nearly verbatim in comments made on the Daily Stormer, which led many to believe that Roof was a Daily Stormer commenter. (Responding to what he dubbed a “conspiracy theory” in June of 2015, Anglin acknowledged that the possibility of Roof commenting on the Daily Stormer wouldn’t be “particularly surprising, given that anyone reading about Black crime or other racial issues on the internet would necessarily have come across this site.”) It’s often difficult to tie a specific hate crime to a certain website, and the Daily Stormer’s homepage lists a disclaimer that opposes violence and advocates “revolution through the education of the masses.”

Anglin’s online realm does enter the flesh-and-blood world in other ways. Hankes said he has independently verified that 40 chapters of the “Stormer Book Club” have met in real life. “They’re out there having a meeting, talking about racist ideas. Some of them have built gun ranges. They’ll go shooting together, go to concerts together. They’re actively organizing around that,” he said. “It’s not inconceivable that he would try to mobilize these groups the same way he does people on Twitter.” As Anglin and the Daily Stormer’s profiles are raised, more and more newly emboldened white nationalists latch onto the cause. “These guys in far-right movements, they’re not used to seeing their ideas and movements and activities reflected back at them,” Hankes said. “They’re used to only getting 10 guys in a conference room. They’re used to only existing in their own little echo chamber.”

ithin 10 days of the Jan. 14 ARA protest, the Daily Stormer removed all mentions of the Worthington address from the site. The site also experienced recent difficulty with a bitcoin digital currency address ascribed to it, which led some commenters to believe the Daily Stormer had been blacklisted by Coinbase, a popular bitcoin service. (Reached for email comment, Coinbase spokesperson David Farmer said the company does not comment on specific merchants.) Anglin claims other typical donation outlets such as PayPal and Google Wallet have banned the Daily Stormer from using their services. “A couple folks from the group let me know [the Worthington address] had been taken down from the Stormer site,” ARA’s Olivia Flak said. “I think that was direct pressure, and it was something ARA had a lot to do with, being that we exposed this to the community and let them know what was going on.” On Friday, Feb. 3, in a post titled “Choking Last Jew Gasp: Daily Stormer has Mailing Address and Bitcoin Shutdown,” Anglin explained the situation. “With the mailing address — it was at my dad’s office. It’s the address I’ve used since I moved out of my house as a teenager, for mail from the government, the bank, so on,” he wrote. “It worked well because it’s inside an office building. Anyway, the rat kikes from the SPLC called up the owner of the building [and] started making threats, so the building company was going to cancel his lease if I didn’t stop using the mailbox there.” Then, he pivoted. “Anyway, I’ve got a new mailing address: Andrew Anglin, PO Box 208, Worthington, Ohio 43085,” he wrote, also adding a new bitcoin address. “These are unshutdownable.” In addition, Anglin announced a corporate sponsor, Smerff Electrical of Brisbane, Australia. He said donations have been “scant” and implored the book clubs to pass around a hat and mail the money collected. While crying poor, he also proudly posted the site’s recent traffic numbers and reassured readers of his bold plans.

Meanwhile, Greg Anglin’s status as a tenant at 6827 N. High St. remains an open question. Reached by phone, Greg refused to comment on the situation, saying, “I don’t talk to reporters.” In 2015, he told The Washington Post he was “not really involved with Andy’s site” and that “if there’s things I disagree with him on, I sit down and talk with him directly rather than airing it in public.” Robert McGrath, a senior communications director for CBRE, which manages the Worthington property, said the company was “actively reviewing the situation,” but as of press time no decisions had been made. Reached for comment, Executive House LP, the Quebec-based group that owns the property, said building tenants had been informed that they may not use their space to conduct business on behalf of other organizations since it would violate lease agreements. “The ownership group of the building has no association to the Daily Stormer,” wrote Anthony Ortona, part of Executive House LP’s ownership group, in an email to Alive. “Furthermore, there is no lease or rental agreement with this group. They are not a tenant of the building.” In his Feb. 3 post, Anglin framed these recent hurdles as part of a larger battle. “We are going to have an office in the New York Times building. And then we’re going to buy the whole building,” he wrote. “There are no brakes on this train. The future belongs to us.” That all-consuming attitude motivates protesters like Gail Burkholder to remain vocal, pushing back against a white nationalist movement that has picked up significant momentum in recent times. “The era of Trump has emboldened the alt-right, Nazi movement. We have to be out there bringing what’s dark into the light,” she said. “We need to let the good people of America know, no matter who they voted for, that this exists. There are people out there willing to hurt people based on who they are.”

HAte And extremist groups find A Home in oHio

manda Lee says she is building an army, and Ohio plays a key role in her plans. As the national imperial commander for the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Lee predicted last week that 2017 will bring a resurgence of her group’s activity — public rallies, widespread pamphlet distribution, greater recruitment efforts — and a push in several targeted states, including Ohio. “We have people all over Ohio already. There is a large membership of Loyal

White Knights there,” she said in a phone interview during a dinner break from her job in North Carolina. “When things start going wrong, it’s time for us to start retaliating. It’s time for us to get active.” Though Lee said she couldn’t provide membership numbers, despite the fact that KKK members pay monthly dues ($10 a person or $15 a couple), the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has long acknowledged the Loyal White Knights as a significant Ohio presence. The group calls itself the largest faction of the KKK in the country.

The Alabama-based SPLC, which monitors hate and extremist groups, said in its most-recent report that 34 such groups operate in Ohio, dividing them into categories including KKK, black separatist, white nationalist, racist/skinhead, neo-Nazi and anti-LGBT. The center maps where the groups are based, and in Ohio, they include organizations such as the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement in Cleveland, the Nation of Islam in Columbus and the Supreme White Alliance in Cincinnati. Rick Zwayer, the director of Ohio Homeland Security, said it falls to every federal, state and local law enforcement officer to collectively monitor extremist groups and to keep an eye out for those who may want to do harm to others. There is an increasing amount of organizing that happens online, however, and that includes for the world’s most-visited white supremacist website, the Daily Stormer, which is run by central Ohio

native Andrew Anglin. Anglin’s specific whereabouts are unknown these days but, at least until recently, donations to his site were directed to a Worthington business address. Where these groups originate or are based matters less as the power of their online activity expands, said Michael S. Waltman, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Waltman teaches a class on hate speech and has written books on the subject. “The internet offers a great degree of anonymity and it has made organizing and recruiting a lot easier for groups,” Waltman said. “It fosters an even greater apocalyptic rhetoric.” The SPLC has long tracked what it labels as hate groups, and it also tracks what it calls anti-government or “patriot” groups, such as organized militias or sovereign-citizen organizations; in 2015, there were 52 of the latter in Ohio, with the bulk of them being county chapters of Ohio Minutemen Militia. But the center also recently used social media, news stories and self-reporting to track incidents of actual violence or intimidation. In the report that looked at “bias-related incidents” in roughly a month following the November election of President Donald Trump, the center found 1,094 such incidents across the country, with the majority being anti-immigrant. They ranged from threatening voicemails left at churches to racial slurs tossed at children. Some of the reports eventually proved false, and the center cautions on its website that many remain only anecdotal. The center reported 29 incidents in that time in Ohio, which ranked 15th in the country. Also last week, Ohio’s Office of Criminal Justice Services released its 2015 hate-crime statistics, which are compiled annually as part of an FBI report. Nationwide, 1,742 law enforcement agencies reported 5,850 hate-crime incidents, with most single-bias incidents (57 percent) involving race/ethnicity/ancestry. In Ohio, 109 law-enforcement agencies reported a total of 416 hate-crime incidents, which puts the state’s rate of 4.3 incidents per 100,000 population higher than the national average. Reflecting the national trend, the majority of Ohio’s instances were related to race/ethnicity/ancestry, with another 14 percent related to sexual orientation, 9 percent related to religion and 2 percent related to disabilities.

Anti-KKK demonstration in Columbus

Central Ohio pastor David Daubenmire has found his Pass the Salt Ministries on the SPLC hate-group list several times. He said the label is unfair. America, he said, is experiencing a moral reawakening and that his ministry — based in Hebron in Licking County — landed on the list largely because it actively demonstrates and preaches against gay rights. “Who gets to determine labels?” asked Daubenmire, who became a central figure in the right-vs.-left moral religious debate of the 1990s when, as coach of London High School’s football team in Madison County, he led his players in prayer at games, practices and meetings. The American Civil Liberties Union went to court to get him to stop. Eventually, Daubenmire resigned under pressure, but the debate boosted his reputation within the Christ-centered schools movement. “Somebody in Montgomery, Alabama, who I’ve never met, made the determination that they didn’t like what I was saying,” Daubenmire said of the center. “Hate is in the eye of the beholder. They label it hate and then it becomes censorship. We should be allowed to preach the gospel.” But the labels do matter, said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in California. The center, a Jewish humanrights organization that confronts anti-Semitism and bigotry and online terrorism, puts out a regular report that specifically looks at how websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and others police hate speech. It tracked such online activity long before most anyone else did. “We have to try and debase the online marketing ability of the bigots,” Cooper said. How much online activity translates to real acts of violence is unclear, he said, but the internet certainly has allowed haters to cocoon themselves in anonymity and more easily find validation for their beliefs. “The people who used to be consigned to the gutters of the night to sneak out and put flyers on your car, now they have access to the mainstream online,” Cooper said. “When you

go online and see people there who think like you, that’s empowerment. You don’t have to ask for permission anymore.” And the internet has also allowed rhetoric that once seemed extreme to appear less offensive, Cooper said. “You incubate a message that once looked insane, but now they can class it up and make it look legitimate,” he said. Professor Waltman, Cooper and others say that the “lone wolf” who is fed by online communication and maybe fostered in individual or community gatherings is who should be feared the most. And whether through online posts or a back-room meeting of some organization on a Saturday night, hate follows a pattern, Waltman said. First, those interested identify an “in group.” “They will be told they are descended of kings,” Waltman said. Then, an “out group” is created. “They are like animals, equated to monsters,” he said. Next, the out group is painted as a threat, and in the final step of indoctrination, a hate group relishes destroying the out group and taking away its power. Lee, of the Loyal White Knights of the KKK, said her group has an active telephone hotline. Its voicemail message finishes with: “If it ain’t white, it ain’t right.” Lee said the organization feels as if 2017 is critical, particularly for countering the Black Lives Matter movement. She claimed the KKK is misunderstood. “We don’t hate anybody,” she said. “God says you can’t get into heaven with hate in your heart.” So how does society end this, or at least combat it? Waltman said there is no easy answer. But he thinks there is hope. “We need to rehumanize it and make people feel like they do belong,” he said. He points to an incident where a Jewish family moved into a new neighborhood, only to find that someone soon painted a swastika on their garage door. The neighbors reacted swiftly: They all bought menorahs and displayed them. “It is important for us, in our own communities, to monitor hate,” Waltman said. “If you can make the soil of our communities clean, and a place where hate cannot grow, we will win.”

‘rEEsE-a-palooza’ To honor lifE and lEgacy of laTE civic acTivisT By Erica Thompson

ome men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not.” The famous quote, first coined by George Bernard Shaw and later paraphrased by Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy to conclude his eulogy at Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s funeral, was also a fitting choice for the

eulogy honoring Columbus resident Reese Neader. After undergoing several diabetesrelated surgeries, the civic activist died of septic shock on Dec. 14, 2016. He was 34. “He was an old-school American,” said Jack Storey, Neader’s friend and co-organizer of “Reese-A-Palooza,” a celebration of Neader’s life and legacy, which will take place Saturday, Feb. 11 at the Big Room Bar. “He was Jeffersonian.”

But before Neader made his mark on the Columbus community, he was Jim Neader’s inquisitive son, who loved peanut butter and playing dress up as a Civil War soldier when he was a kid. Though he had other interests as a teen — he formed a band called the Wash and was co-captain of his football team — he never lost his love for learning. “Other than reading a lot of a lot of history books … he listened to BBC radio

at night in high school and that’s where he got a lot of his information about the world and current events,” Jim said. Neader went on to study political science at Denison University. He interned for Sen. Richard Lugar, worked as the national policy director for the Roosevelt Institute and even assisted community organizers in Egypt. He also volunteered with President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns.

crowdfunded microloans to small business owners. Neader, a KIVA fellow, achieved the goal through a partnership with Mayor Andrew Ginther and myriad other stakeholders in July 2016. But Neader had even bigger dreams. “There was no doubt that Reese Neader was gonna be the president of the United States,” Dodson said. “He goes, ‘If I can go to the grassroots and I can get people to engage in civics in their city; if I can get people to actually act like citizens, get engaged with each other, get to know their neighbors, support each other [and] get involved in issues, then I can build a community that can be a constituency.’ … Then he could ‘forge’ for Columbus [and eventually] ‘forge’ for America.” Although Neader was unable to realize that vision, his friends are confident his influence will live on through his massive network, which includes people everywhere from his hometown in Lancaster to Washington, D.C.

Many are coming to honor their friend at “Reese-APalooza.” “These Fort Reese parties were so unique and special and we’re hoping that we can … try to recreate that same kind of feeling,” Dodson said of the event, which will include local food vendors, live music by Parker Louis and others and a DJ set by Jim (aka DJ Jazzy Jim). Admission is free, but a $10 donation to the Reese Neader Memorial Fund is suggested. “It’s really hard to be sad because I keep feeling so proud,” Dodson said. “I’m just so super proud of who he was, what he did and what he’s gonna continue to do.” Thinking once more about his son, Jim said, “The way you need to end your story about Reese is … he was a great American.”

Passionate about Ohio, he settled back in Columbus and built a network of friends and professional partners interested in economic development. “Reese was pretty much the first person to make Columbus feel like my home,” said Storey, who moved to the city about three years ago. “It was like I knew him my whole life from the time I met him,” said Andrew Dodson. “He wasn’t just a natural leader in that people would follow him, but he would inspire them to be better just by being who he was.” Neader utilized those leadership skills to form Forge Columbus, which “strengthens community business in Columbus by investing in entrepreneurs who give back to their community,” according to its website. While Storey is currently working to gain 501(c)(3) status for Forge, it began as a loose concept executed by one person — Neader. “It’s literally just his ideology and the way that he wanted to deliver it to people,” said Dodson, who went on to describe Neader’s networking parties in “Fort Reese,” his apartment above Upper Cup Coffee in Olde Towne East. “We’d be in [the apartment] with rappers and council people and everybody in between … and they would have conversations about things like politics and civics and what’s going on in our city in a very informal way,” he said.

The local response To presidenT Trump’s immigraTion ban

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 9, 2017

by andy downing

In the immediate aftermath of President Trump’s late-January executive order restricting travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, protests sprang up at airports nationwide, including John Glenn Columbus International Airport. “I was inspired to march because the Muslim ban is unAmerican, and anti-humanity,” said Laddan Shoar, who was among the protesters. “I would have been out there regardless, but I also happen to be a first-generation IranianAmerican. The mood was simultaneously urgent, assertive, vigilant and welcoming. … It was a proud moment for me, as a Columbus resident, to be among so many people turning out to stand up for refugees, immigrants and the Muslim community.” In the days that followed, Mayor Andrew Ginther and City Council President Zach Klein affirmed the city’s commitment to accepting refugees, regardless of immigration status. “Our immigrant population is part of the fabric of what makes Columbus so vibrant,” Ginther said in a press statement. “They are our

neighbors. We must not turn our backs on them, now or ever.” Ginther went on to issue an executive order stating that Columbus would “not use city offices of employees to detain people based solely on their immigration status,” in addition to noting immigrants would continue to have access to the same city services offered all residents. Regardless, one Iraqi refugee who immigrated to Columbus in October 2016 said his optimism for the future has been somewhat tempered, replaced with a growing concern as he observes the tone of the current national debate and an immigration policy that remains wildly in flux. (Most recently, a federal judge in Washington state issued a temporary block on Trump’s travel ban, setting up a showdown in a federal appeals court.) “All the time, I was trying to be positive. Even after the election it was, ‘It’s fine. Even if there’s change, maybe it will be better change.’ But during the last two weeks … I’m not sure,” said Mohammed, who requested his last name not be used to protect his identity. “We are legal here,

but we need to get the green card at the end of this year. We may have problems with our residency later.” Mohammed’s current unease is manageable compared with the day-to-day uncertainty he lived with in Baghdad. He described a country where horrific violence became commonplace— “A bomb happens here, and then after one hour you see people there hanging out like there was nothing that happened,” he said — as militias and terrorist groups waged constant war in an effort to fill the power vacuum. For Mohammed, these daily fears were exacerbated by his status as a gay man living in a country where being outwardly LGBTQ can be akin to a death sentence. “You’re not protected if you’re gay; you can be killed easily,” Mohammed said. “You can be hurt even by your family if they wanted to and they know. You have to [live in secret]. If you don’t do that, you lose everything. You have to pretend.” Mohammed left Iraq in May 2015 and spent a year-and-a-half in Turkey as he and his partner worked through the lengthy refugee process, which consisted of myriad interviews and multiple background, medical and security checks. “I think some people, they don’t know about refugees, especially at this time. Iraqi refugee or Syrian refugees, they have to go through this long procedure [to be approved for refugee status],” Mohammed said. Though somewhat disheartened by much of the tone emanating from the current national conversation on immigration, Mohammed said there’s still been an overwhelming sense of support within the local community. “People are telling us, ‘We are sorry this is happening,’” he said. It’s a point echoed by Shoar, who expressed the urgent need for “our citizens to be visible, loud and to show our solidarity in numbers.” “It is time to come together and stand up for the principles that have made America become a great place to live,” she said, “and to protect those who arrive here seeking refuge or opportunity.”

city auditor’s office up for graBs

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 9, 2017

By Michael curtin

There are many reasons for Columbus’ success. Among the less appreciated is the independence of the city auditor’s office. The drafters of the 1914 Columbus City Charter wanted to ensure the city attorney and city auditor were independently elected — answerable to the electorate, not the mayor or City Council. The charter makes the auditor the chief accountant, deciding how financial records will be kept and judging the propriety of each financial transaction before it occurs. Such independence is not the norm for Ohio’s cities. It is a major reason Columbus has not experienced financial crises or scandals across the decades. The charter writers had “tremendous foresight,” observed City Auditor Hugh J. Dorrian, who has held the office since 1969. The charter assures “a very strong separation of powers. Over the years I’ve come to recognize it as a rather unique role,” he said. After 48 years in office, Dorrian will retire at the end of this year. In local government circles, his legendary service is widely appreciated. Less understood is the fact that, since World War II, Columbus has had only three city auditors. Dorrian’s predecessors were John H. Price (1956-1969) and R.P. Barthalow (1944-1955). The office has been remarkable not only for its independence but also

for the lengthy tenures of occupants who understood that independence. All of this puts a spotlight on the two candidates to become Dorrian’s successor: Democrat Megan Kilgore and Republican Robert J. Mealy. Kilgore, 34, has the advantage of having worked for Dorrian for 11 years (2004-2015) as an assistant city auditor. She managed the city’s debt portfolio, prepared reports for bond-rating agencies and analyzed major economic development proposals. Over the last two years, she has worked at H.J. Umbaugh & Associates, advising cities and other governmental jurisdictions on debt management and financial planning. Dorrian has endorsed Kilgore and is serving as her campaign chairman. “His confidence in me means the world to me,” Kilgore said. “But I have to earn this. There would be no greater honor than to be his successor in this office.” Kilgore said she understands the historical independence of the office, and she has ideas on how to expand on the

charter’s command to make periodic financial reports to the public. “In our digital age, I believe there’s a lot of potential to create easyto-use, online portals for educating the public,” Kilgore said. Mealy, 60, has the advantage of being a true outsider. No Republican has held elective office at City Hall since 2002. Mealy spent more than two decades in sales and marketing for IBM. He has created and sold wordprocessing and gift-basket companies, and considers himself a problem solver and team builder. “If you put me into something, I will figure it out,” he said. “I’m new to politics. I’m just a career businessman who decided it’s time to get involved. This is another thing I can do.” Mealy credits Dorrian for having done “a fantastic job. I’m not expecting to find a lot of things wrong.” However, he believes the time is right for change. Curtin, a former Dispatch reporter and editor, recently finished a four-year tenure in the Ohio House of Representatives.

Picks from Danielle miller of snow Day By Danielle miller Danielle Miller recently found her passion for planning events. One such event, Snow Day, is coming up on Saturday, Feb. 11 from 1 to 5 p.m. at Genoa Park. It’s a free, family-friendly event featuring a huge snowball fight (with fake snow, of course, thanks to Ohio weather), giant bowling, food, craft beer, crafts, music, vendors and more. Here are a few things Miller loves at the moment.

I have the flu this week, so I’ve been doing a lot of TV-watching from my couch. I borrowed some “Will & Grace” DVDs from my friend, and I remembered why I loved the show so much. I was worried revisiting season one would be cringe-inducing, but the talented ensemble cast hit its groove right away (“Just Jack!” was introduced in the first season). I was happy to hear about the show’s revival, but I’m not sure how they will pick the story line back up after the odd series finale (I won’t spoil it for newcomers). –Erica thompson The New York Times

I feel like I will always be stuck in the 90’s. I still watch re-runs of that era’s TV shows, and movies from that decade are my favorite. I also enjoyed music in the ’90s so much. I just feel like life was more simple and technology did not rule the world as much as it does now.

Because our 8-year-old son is a b-boy, we are starting to travel a lot more. He is in a kids’ break-dancing crew, and they are all about traveling and bringing home the wins. I love to go to new places and see the community and culture there. Since I now have more freedom with my new career, I am hoping to get to travel more this next year.

n late January, Rolling Stone published an online essay under the header, “Why It’s Time for Country Stars to Speak Up About Trump,” in which writer Joseph Hudak argued that political dissent from the country music set was essential in this era of “alternative facts.” “Unlike the liberal pop and hip-hop artists who participated in the Women’s Marches around the nation on Saturday, essentially preaching to their choir, country artists possess something unique in igniting change: a kinship with rural America, conservatives and Christians, and the ear of many of those who voted Donald Trump into the presidency,” Hudak wrote.

his first wife, Vivian. “I basically spent a total of 12 years in the South my whole life. I grew up in Southern California and I’ve lived in New York City for 27 years. But I found what I love about [the region] and what I want to cherish. And that changed me.” The steady shift started to take place during a series of visits Cash and husband John Leventhal embarked on over a number of years, beginning with a trip to Johnny Cash’s childhood home in Dyess, Arkansas. “How it started was going down and working with Arkansas State University on the restoration project at my dad’s boyhood home, and at the same time Marshall Grant, my dad’s bass player, died,” Cash said. “[Grant] always told me he was the third person to hold me after I was born. I knew him my whole life. Those two things combined [and] it cracked my heart open.” Cash and Leventhal later returned for visits to Rosanne’s childhood home in Memphis, Tennessee, the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama, and to Florence, Alabama, where the musician spent time studying with friend and seamstress Natalie Chanin, whose words inspired the album’s title (“She said, ‘You have to love the thread,’ and I took it as a big metaphor,” Cash said). “We were exploring the geography and the past, but the future, too,” Cash said. “Some of that sounds very grand, but the truth is John and I are so completely connected to, influenced by and in love with the music of the South, and it was just a joy to explore that.” The repeated visits also helped draw the musician closer to her ancestry, particularly Johnny’s mother, her grandmother. “Learning about how hard my grandmother’s life was in Arkansas, I started thinking about that tenacity in spirit,” Cash said. “I don’t think I could raise seven kids without electricity … but something of that tenacity survives.”

He also cited one late, loved country legend who never shied from speaking up about social and political issues. “Your apathy would make Johnny Cash roll over in his grave,” he wrote. “It’s true,” said Cash’s daughter, country singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash, who visits the McCoy Center for the Performing Arts for a concert on Sunday, Feb. 12. “A lot of people who attack me use my dad as a weapon against me. ‘Your dad would be ashamed of you.’ My dad protested the Vietnam War. My dad went into prisons and worked on behalf of prisoners’ rights. He worked on behalf of Native American rights. He was the most socially conscious musician you could find. He took his cues from Woody Guthrie in that way. It’s puzzling people think I’m doing anything different. … I like to use [Rage Against the Machine guitarist] Tom Morello’s quote: ‘I didn’t realize I had to lay down my First Amendment rights when I picked up my guitar.’” Cash, like her father, doesn’t shy from speaking her mind, particularly when it comes to the current presidential administration. She described Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, as “the most frightening guy on the planet,” and expressed concern with a recent executive order restricting immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries. “It’s this incremental chipping away at the Constitution,” said Cash, who called herself a “progressive patriot.” “It just breaks my heart. This country was founded on liberty.” Cash, whose earliest musical memory consists of hearing her dad’s deep, graveled voice, has spent the better part of her last three full-length albums both exploring and coming to terms with her past. Black Cadillac, from 2006, and The List, from 2009, find the singer confronting her father’s long musical shadow (songs on The List, for example, were culled from a listing of 100 essential country songs her father presented her when she turned 18), while The River & the Thread, released in 2014, more broadly delves into her Southern roots, which Cash said she spent much of her life pushing away. “It was suffocating, and I just didn’t see myself as a Southerner even though both my parents were Southerners,” said Cash, the eldest daughter of Johnny and

This is a marked shift from the bandâ€™s previous recording, At the Gate of Sethu, from 2012, which favored cleaner dynamics and comparatively complex, highly technical passages. â€œI think there was, from some fans, a backlash, because it wasnâ€™t putting the heaviness and brutality first; it was putting the musicianship first,â€? said Sanders, 53, who joins his bandmates in opening for Overkill at Park Street Saloon on Thursday, Feb. 16. â€œI see what people were talking about, because the emotional content comes across to people more than the technical this or technical that. Really,

PHoto By StePHAnie CABrAl

in the end, does it matter how technical it is? What matters is, â€˜Did it have the spirit? Did it make you feel like banging your head?â€™â€? While Nile albums can certainly inspire this desired physical response, Sandersâ€™ approach to lyric writing also allows for deeper thought, offering a chance for brains to grow rather than simply slosh back and forth in the skull, should listeners desire it. Songs are steeped in Egyptian history and culture, and the frontman approaches lyrics with a historianâ€™s eye for detail, piling in references to deities, forgotten landmarks and ancient rulers. Witness â€œIn the Name of Amun,â€? which takes its title from the Egyptian god, or â€œUshabti Reanimator,â€? a moody instrumental named for an Egyptian funerary figurine that comes on like a graveyard parade.

â€œI think sometime around â€™93 or so, I woke up and realized I had been in a band called Nile for a few months. â€˜What would I want to hear from a band called Nile?â€™ I decided if I was going to write lyrics for a band called Nile, I needed to study up on it,â€? said Sanders, who was born to a computer engineer father and an accountant mother and started playing guitar at age 9 because the sound of a power chord â€œstruck this resonant thing deep in my soul.â€? â€œAnd the more I read it was like, â€˜Somebody should really do this right and have some respect for it.â€™â€?

Lucy Dacus’ debut album, No Burden, doesn’t sound like a school project, but that’s how it came to be. Guitarist Jacob Blizard attended Oberlin College, and his program required that he do a project over winter break. So Dacus, who hails from Richmond, Virginia, and Blizard traveled to a Nashville studio to record an album/winter project.

Soon after the release of No Burden on small Richmond label EggHunt, about 20 other labels began fighting for the right to reissue Dacus’ debut. Matador Records eventually won out, and ever since, Dacus, 21, has been hyped as an artist to watch. The designation is deserved, too. There’s an intimacy and honesty to her songwriting that comes through, whether she’s plowing through a tongue-in-cheek rocker like “I Don’t Wanna Be Funny Anymore” or lazily strumming an acoustic guitar on “Trust.” (Fans of Courtney Barnett and Angel Olsen, take note.) Dacus is at work now on her follow-up record, which may come out later this fall — this time sans a label bidding war. But that doesn’t mean you should pay any less attention.

Sometime after parting ways with longtime band the Walkmen, singer Hamilton Leithauser signed a contract with Domino Records for what would become his first solo album, 2014’s Black Hours. Soon after the signing, a Domino exec ran into friend Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend and told him about Leithauser’s new solo endeavor. “Then Rostam just wrote me out of the blue and asked me if I wanted to come over to his house and try working on music sometime,” said Leithauser by phone recently. “I didn’t have that much faith that it would work, to be honest, but I went and we just tried it out. And on that first day we wrote part of the song that became ‘1959.’ We clicked.” In addition to “1959,” which closes out Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam’s 2016 album I Had a Dream That You Were Mine, the pair wrote two songs that appeared on Black

Hours, which Leithauser had been working on for some time. “When we finished those two songs, it felt obvious to both of us that we had more stuff we needed to do,” Leithauser said. “It was going in a new direction, and I really liked that.” For I Had a Dream, Leithauser went out to Batmanglij’s home studio in Los Angeles for songwriting sessions that began early in the morning and stretched late into the day. Though the two had met years ago when Vampire Weekend opened for the Walkmen, the musicians didn’t know each other well, but the easy chemistry between them brought surprising sounds and styles out of left field. “At the beginning it was like, wow, what is this record that we’re making? … We both share a love of country and Leonard Cohen and soul, but we never discussed it,” said Leithauser, who brings his touring band to the Newport Music Hall on Saturday, Feb. 11.

One track, “When the Truth Is…,” started out with a hip-hop beat. “I thought, ‘There’s no way in hell I’m ever gonna be able to sing over that,’” Leithauser said. “But then I watched that Muscle Shoals documentary the night before, and I saw all those people, and I thought, ‘I just wanna do that.’ … I went in and [said], ‘OK, just roll the tape.’” The resulting track is an utterly soulful, smoky torch song that finds Leithauser singing in his signature, stone-washed caterwaul, “I’ll always be lonely and you’ll never hear the truth.” “I always try to reach as much as possible [when singing],” Leithauser said. “I try to get into a different place. In the end, you always end up sounding like yourself, so if you’re not really trying to reach, it’s gonna be, ‘Been there, done that.’” As the record neared completion, it became clear that Batmanglij was more than just a producer. Leithauser said the songs were true collaborations. “Working with Rostam was more like being in a band together. That’s why we called it ‘Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam,’” he said. “We’d formed a group together, and we were writing everything from the ground up.”

Nobunny is not for everyone, but the music of Nobunny might be close; humorous punk rock with teen pop and bubblegum flourishes usually goes down nicely. The Ramones did pretty well with that, right? Why you might want to shy away from taking a first date to a Nobunny show is his appearance. Picture, if you will,

a band fronted by a gentleman wearing only underwear, stockings, a biker jacket and a ratty bunny rabbit mask. It’s like something out of a crust-punk porn version of “Donnie Darko.” You’ve been warned, or reminded, depending on your sense of decorum and good taste. (Fans only)

Heaters’ story is the tale of a million other bands that have bounced around the Great Lakes region in a beat-up cargo van. Three dudes (whittled down from an initial five) rent an old house and spend the cold, isolating winters crafting noisy, lively songs that harken to the fun they had when it wasn’t so cold and isolating. Miserable weather and secondhand instruments don’t always add up to anything of merit, and most examples of this sort of band are forgettable. Heaters? Not so much. Instead of succumbing to the dreary, endless gray of a Grand Rapids

winter, Heaters sounds like a direct line back to its own endless summer. The band plays around with the accoutrements of surf rock and proto-hippie ’60s psychedelic flourishes, all built around a solid yet laid-back guitar trio setup. These influences sound much less like influences and a lot more like happy discoveries from endless jamming. It is more akin to trying to create surf rock from a description in a textbook than it is from actually listening to it. And honestly, for the listener it is much more rewarding. Heaters may not be reinventing the wheel with any of this, but they are inventing their own version of the wheel night after night. I can’t think of a better way to spend the winter.

ou know the drill. Every second Friday, Franklinton Friday takes over the west side arts district. Stuff is happening. You should probably be there for it. Here’s a primer on some of what’s in store this weekend, which also includes a sneak peek at Chromedge Studios on Rich Street. Chromedge is a soon-toopen space from the folks at 400 West

Rich, whose project manager, Chris Sherman, said the building should be ready for its first tenants to move in early next month. “It’s all studio space, but in the 400 [West Rich] fashion, we’ll use the hallways and corridors as exhibition space,” he said. Sherman said the open house (5-9 p.m. Friday at 446 W. Rich St.) is geared primarily towards prospective tenants, but I don’t suppose that precludes anyone else from checking it out.

‘Dark Love,’ vanDereLLi room

PhOTO By rOB hArDiN

The notion of mixing magic and love obviously predates Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ “I Put a Spell on You,” and “because you’re mine” is hardly the sole reason to employ magic when it comes to love. The fourth annual “Dark Love” exhibition is a chance to explore these various applications, with “Spells and Hexes” as this year’s theme. “The exhibition is something a little darker than a traditional Valentine’s Day show,” artist/curator Tona Pearson said. “I asked for some artist input on the theme, and I liked [‘Spells and Hexes’] because it has a little richer of a vibe, something to spice it up and make it a little more spooky. It’s going to be a pretty heavy show, with some pretty magical stuff.” Indeed, Pearson said there will be more than a handful of pieces that present the theme with a more-thanmetaphorical approach. “Several of the artists have created things based on their actual practice, or their practices with former lovers,” Pearson said. Pearson will have two new works in the show, although neither will be magical in the literal sense.

“I’m not religious in any way, so I’m not doing anything ritualistic or crossing into territory I’m not familiar with,” she said. One of her pieces is woven from human and horse hair, a process that took about 20 hours. “It is magic to me because I created pieces of it as meditation. When I see and especially touch the pieces, I reconnect with the calm I felt creating it. That’s the spell for me,” Pearson said. Since its inception in 2014, “Dark Love” has taken on a “more poignant and realistic tone,” Pearson said. “The first time, all we wanted was to have a party that wasn’t a Valentine’s Day party, something without pink hearts and chocolate-covered cherries,” she said. “Adding a theme each year seems to give artists [freedom] to express what it means to them. People put a lot of their own personal tragedy into the work. … It can be overwhelming. You get to see a lot more of the artist’s actual soul. It creates an ambience fitting of the theme.”

The Strongwater bar will be open, and the market’s vendors, as usual, will have a variety of locally made art, crafts and products available. Additionally, solo art exhibitions from 400 West Rich artists Aina Turiaga and Steve Jebbett will be on view. For Turiaga, it’s the day before her birthday, affording a chance to celebrate with a show of (almost all) new work.

“They’re all critters representing love in different ways. Some are very obvious, some are just humorous in a way,” she said of the pieces that might not be easy, light-hearted looks at love, but which she still hopes will elicit a smile. The pieces, she said, while often derived from the personal, express universal feelings about love, from heartbreak to the pure and innocent love of children.

This is kind of a bonus because this show at Mona Gazala’s Second Sight in Franklinton takes place on Saturday. It’s an extra special bonus because it’s also being held during Gazala’s annual Hearts United for One Billion Rising public art event. First things first. Hearts United, now in its fourth year, allows local folks to come and make heart-shaped or -themed art to be displayed on the Bellows Avenue Elementary School fence. It is part of the global One Bil-

lion Rising movement to end violence against women. The exhibition of works by L’Andrae’ Bradley will be held inside the Second Sight Studio. This pop-up show will feature his work in both pen and ink and markers and watercolor, all inspired, in part, by the Lima-born artist’s work with the Shambhala Meditation Center.

‘top Girls’ ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 9, 2017

By Jim Fischer

If you’re interested in a nice, clean examination of feminism or post-feminism, with lines drawn clearly and dialogue that provides answers to all your questions, Caryl Churchill’s “Top Girls” is probably not for you. The Otterbein University Department of Theatre & Dance presents “Top Girls,” which assistant professor and director Lenny Leibowitz called a “brain-bruiser,” this weekend and next. “The play is so challenging and mercurial,” he said. “It’s like mercury, where you put your finger on it and loose beads of mercury split and travel and reconnect.” The play concerns sisters Marlene and Joyce, who have made distinctly different choices about how they

want to live their lives. Their story is preceded, though, by a surrealistic first scene in which “figures from legend and history sit down at dinner with” Marlene, Leibowitz said, in a “radical messing around with dramatic forms and time frames.” Among Marlene’s guests are Isabella Bird, 19th-century English author, and Flemish folk hero Dull Gret, who, as depicted in a 16th-century painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, leads an army of women into hell to fight the devil. “That opening scene sets up that you have to watch this play with fresh eyes,” Leibowitz said. The rest of “Top Girls” concerns the sisters, particularly Marlene’s climb up the corporate ladder, which addresses issues of success and feminism as she leaves her illegitimate child with Joyce to pursue her career. Written and originally produced in 1982, the play’s themes remain topical. “Talk about a play that has something meaningful to add to contemporary discourse. The topicality is so

self-evident right now, as we speak, this minute,” Leibowitz said. “It has topicality fused with timelessness.” Churchill’s script recognizes the challenges society presents to women, refusing to cast the matter as a dichotomy between abiding or breaking the glass ceiling. “Top Girls,” Leibowitz said, features multiple fault lines and a “shifting moral center.” “It’s an entertainingly dramatic, socially blistering story, but [Churchill is] not going to tell it the way you want it,” Leibowitz said. “It’s important that there is this very powerful sense of refusing to rush to judgment or reduce characters to ‘good’ and ‘bad.’ “It presents a view of post-feminism that is not one thing or another but is divided against itself.”

“Bone In” By Char norman

‘Ghost Forest’ By Jim Fischer On her many trips to Italy, Char Norman would note the abundance of small Christian shrines — trailside tabernacles where people could stop and offer tribute and prayer. The Columbus-based fiber artist would often consider the possibility of erecting her own shrines to nature, eventually opting to create small works incorporating pieces of “found nature” and installing them on these existing structures. Not only did the locals not consider Norman’s work defacing, they encouraged her to do more. This work gave rise to her signature medium, assemblages the artist describes as “shrouds, wombs or cradles.” “They have all of those connotations,” she said. The works begin

Choreographer Melissa Gould and director Elliott Lemberg have conceived a dark and, at times, troubling, examination of love in “Bleeding Hearts.” The pair have taken original choreography and dramatic scenes and woven together a tale of betrayal, obsession and emotional devastation. “There’s definitely mature content,” Gould said, referencing portrayals of domestic violence

and the use of abusive and adult language. Lemberg created a character that serves as a through-line for the alternating scenes of dance and theater, who shares in the audience’s “journey through all these darksome themes,” he said.

with a piece of “the detritus of nature,” Norman explained, encased in woven structures of fiber and paper. “I’m just fascinated with taking natural elements and constructing a sculpture in a way people would notice these things they might otherwise step on or over in the forest,” Norman said. “I want to celebrate the death of nature but also the rebirth.” The work in Norman’s “Ghost Forest” exhibition at the Cultural Arts Center is all newly made for this show, the sum of which is three years in the making.

WhiTe nATionAlism And FullmeTAl’s ‘equivAlenT exChAnge’

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 9, 2017

By WIllIAm evAns

Of all my nerd disciplines, I will admit that I came to anime pretty late. It was one of the last vestiges of nerd-dom where, having forgone any fear of ridicule or raised eyebrows from my non-nerd peers, I just said, “Aiight, screw it. What anime should I check out?” Like I do with just about everything, I threw myself into all the recommendations at breakneck speed. I finished “Naruto” at an unhealthy pace (17 seasons of Shippuden alone, fam), but it was worth it for the endless references I can toss out at a moment’s notice. On my hero’s quest to embrace anime, it was suggested to me multiple times that I should check out “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.” It has since become one of my favorites — one where I can revisit the series or arcs again and again. Following the story of two brothers who are basically orphaned after their mother’s death and father’s departure, “Fullmetal” is set in a world where some people have the gift of alchemy, creating weapons or force or energy by transforming something in their environment.

The cool thing is that, in this world, you must have something to create from. One of the mostused terms throughout the run of the show is “equivalent exchange.” You can’t create something from nothing. It has to come from somewhere. It has to be balanced on the other side of the ledger. As I am so apt these days to take everyday situations and conversations and reframe them in my mind with nerd ideologies, I can’t help but think about “Fullmetal” while this new administration has taken hold, welcoming — hell, inviting — so many cabinet members and policies cheered by white nationalists. Perhaps as absurd as the many individuals being given bigger microphones is the pacifist cry of well-meaning people who think that what we really need to do is have more open dialogue. We need to listen to each other more. Understand where each other is coming from. They think that the prospect of equivalent exchange is present here, but it’s not. I, as a black man, cannot open up a

dialogue with someone about policing of black people and neighborhoods when that person doesn’t think black people should be alive in the first place. Once someone mentions ethnic cleansing, it’s a very long road to begin talking about supposed entitlement programs. I understand those who are appalled at watching something visceral like a protester punching white nationalist icon Richard Spencer in the face, because to them, they’re just watching someone get slugged, and violence being applauded may make them uncomfortable. But

Spencer also celebrates the creation of a Muslim registry, attempting to justify its existence by spinning the positives of the Japanese internment camps of World War II. At least here, when someone reaches back and throws his body behind a punch to Spencer’s Nazi jaw, the act abides by the law of equivalent exchange: violence in, violence out.

return of ‘John WicK’ delivers another violence-soaKed Ballet By Brad Keefe

“John WicK: chapter 2” Opens Thursday

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 9, 2017

One of the biggest unexpected surprises of 2014, “John Wick” was unabashedly over-the-top, serving as an action-career revival for Keanu Reeves. It was notably directed by two longtime stunt performers, who delivered a film that doubled as the perfect showcase for stunt work elevated to art. Reeves starred as Wick, a former hitman brought out of retirement, in part, by some baddies who killed his dog. It’s hard to think of more righteous vengeance than that, and Wick dispensed it all over New York in a ballet of blood and bullets. “Chapter 2” continues this adventure and takes it further up the chain of command. In an opening sequence that is a giddy reminder of all the violent fun of the first film, Wick battles his way to a reunion with his stolen car. The car doesn’t escape unscathed, but it fares better than the dudes who stood between it and Wick. Of course, his re-retirement is shortlived, and another crime boss (Riccardo Scamarcio) soon calls for payment on a blood oath that requires Wick to assassinate the bad guy’s own sister. Wick navigates the seedy underworld of an international crime syndicate, as well as the rules governing his network of secret assassins. And, duh, the body count spirals.

Director Chad Stahelski continues to engage in his unique style of “gun-fu,” mixing close-quarters, hand-to-hand combat with a lot of point-blank gunplay. There’s an odd beauty to it all, like a John Woo movie that dispenses with the slo-mo. But while I see the desire to top the original in every way possible, the sequel clocks in at around two hours — 20 minutes or so longer than the original. That’s not to say it’s boring, but some of the stylish set pieces linger at the expense of a pace that’s best when it’s so breakneck you can’t catch your breath. Reeves continues to impress as the cool, calculating Wick, turning up Daniel Craig’s more brutal take on James Bond a notch. And he’s got an intriguing supporting cast, including “Orange is the New Black” breakout Ruby Rose and a reunion with his “Matrix” co-star Laurence Fishburne. The second chapter isn’t quite as outof-the-blue invigorating as the original, but I’m still primed for the next chapter — although I think a trilogy seems like the right time to cap this.

oscAr shorts At the GAtewAY Film center BY BrAd KeeFe I’ve long lamented that the Academy Awards are so filled with Hollywood self-congratulation that it’s a pretty imperfect reflection of the actual best films of the year. Still, I’m no hater. Oscar nominations attract audiences to a lot of films that deserve them and wouldn’t get them otherwise. There’s probably no area where that’s truer than in the short-film categories. Filmmakers working outside the accepted feature-length norms tend to only have their work seen on a big screen at film festivals and the like. But for a number of years now, the Oscar short categories have seen theatrical release, and that series opens this weekend with four feature-length programs.

Often the most popular of these is the animated shorts. Pixar has long been a master of the short, and its entry this year is typically adorable, moving and technically astute, but you may have already seen “Piper” if you saw “Finding Dory.” The standouts in the category are actually a little more grown-up, particularly the 30-minute “Pear Cider and Cigarettes,” which comes last in the program with a warning in case parents want to shuttle out the kiddos. It contains drug use, some sexual content and what may be the best movie soundtrack of the year. The live-action shorts all hail from Europe, and two in particular — “Internal Enemies” from France and “Silent Nights” from Denmark — have a timely subject matter in the plight of migrants

PokeBAP By G.A. Benton

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 9, 2017

una poke — pronounce the second word “po-kay,” please — has been popping up a lot around town lately. The traditionally lettuce-free, sushi-style salad rides in on a wave of popularity that began in Hawaii — where poke originated — and grew to near tsunamisize when the delicious raw fish dish became a craze in L.A. a few years back. Enter Pokebap, a fast-casual operation serving in a Dublin shopping center since November. Frankly, I hope simple-but-smart Pokebap represents another growing wave: A future with more fast-food alternatives that offer quickbut-healthful meals with lively, fresh flavors. Occupying a streamlined-but-upbeat space with bright blue and green paint and a station for get-your-own, cucumber-scented water, Pokebap might help that future occur — it seems like the prototype for a potential chain. Should Pokebap replicate, the company would be wise to train its new employees as well as the unusually friendly and accommodating staff members I encountered. Those servers consistently exhibited patience while describing potentially unfamiliar ingredients common to Hawaiian, Japanese and Korean fare, and explaining how to assemble them into pleasing orders. This entails going traditional — just raw fish plus garnishes — or, a la Chipotle, composing bowls with brown rice or respectable sushistyle rice (the “bap” in Pokebap alludes to the Korean word for rice); winning jumbo-sushi-roll “burritos” wrapped in nori or more delicate and more interesting “soybean paper”; or lettuceanchored salads. These can be completely or partially predesigned or customized. Going the all-customized route means picking price-setting proteins, each of which arrives in two decent-sized scoops ($11 unless noted; extra scoops are $2). Half-and-half combos are available — one scoop of two different proteins for the price of one protein. I tried and liked most of them: ruby cubes of good, sashimi-grade tuna; silky raw salmon

slices; coins of cooked, moderately chewy octopus; soft tofu ($9); and, my favorite, melt-in-your-mouth raw yellowtail cubes. After the application of Poke’s standard dressing — sweet soy sauce plus sesame oil or moderately spicy sesame oil — garnishes are selected from a mostly free, highly appealing and dizzying roster that includes creamy avocado, jalapenos, scallions, tomatoes with cilantro, edamame, toasted coconut, macadamia nuts, crispy garlic, pickled ginger, pickled cucumbers, ponzu sauce (sweet, citrusy, soy-based), palate-popping yuzusco sauce (aggressively vinegary with a chili finish), and gochujang-like Pokebap sauce. Going the predesigned route, The Pokebap ($13) is fantastic fast food. It’s a no-holds-barred, texturally complex bonanza with tuna, yellowtail, octopus, surimi and salmon mixed with a cornucopia of salad vegetables, toasted garlic, roe, avocado, seaweed, edamame and more. The colorful result — at once savory, sweet, spicy, salty and rich — is a rarity: A meal as dynamic and delicious as it is filling and healthful. The Island ($11) is more restrained but hits many of the same terrific notes. It’s a fruity, tangy and zippy ensemble with plentiful yellowtail flattered by

diced mango and mango salsa, avocado, macadamia nuts, shaved coconut, onions, cucumber, jalapeno and more. In addition to its fresh, delicious and nearly endless bowl, burrito and salad combinations, Pokebap offers sides such as commercial-grade kimchi ($2); a zingy, meaty and surprisingly compelling imitation Crab Salad ($5); cuts-above, fetchyour-own Miso Soup ($2); plus a nice rendition of Musubi ($2). New to musubi? It’s a seemingly oxymoronic Hawaiian delight: Spam sushi. Specifically, it’s a marinated and seared slab of Spam affixed to sushi rice by a ribbon of seaweed. Served warm and wrapped in plastic, Pokebap’s hefty, smoky, sweet and salty Musubi is an exception to the rule that the establishment only serves healthful food. Like most everything else offered in this welcome restaurant, though, the endearingly goofy, almost-ham almost-sushi is inexpensive and fun to eat.

UNBELIEVABLE. MAGICAL. UNREAL. What readers have been saying for years about our coverage can also be said about the season the Jackets are having. Don’t miss a word. You’re going to want to see how this story ends.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching — and with it, the expectation of providing sweets for your sweetheart. So, will you just go through the motions and purchase whatever oversugared, mass-produced candy you can find handy inside of any old store? Or, for the same price, will you buy something truly special? The following words are relevant to these interests: “Come with me/And you’ll be/In a world of pure imagination.” Yeah, that’s from the sweet-yet-haunting song Willy Wonka sings as he welcomes visitors into his chocolate factory. But Pure Imagination isn’t just a dreamlike melody from a fantastical movie; it’s also the name of a local maker and purveyor of fantastic chocolates. And Pure Imagination Chocolatier will bring a sweet — but not too sweet! — solution to your Valentine’s Day candy quandary. Owned and operated by master chocolatier Daniel Cooper — who, for several years, made treats for “The Walking Dead” cast and chocolates for the stars attending the Academy Awards’ own Oscar party — Pure Imagination moved into its present Grandview space after outgrowing a North Market spot about five years ago. The roomier Grandview shop is simple but cute, with just a few tables and neat, theater-like views through glass into the

Photo By roB hArDIn

spotlessly clean, professional kitchen where all 64 of Pure Imagination’s stellar confections are hand-crafted. These include crowd-pleasers such as nut clusters, chocolatedipped Oreos and s’mores, but also 32 elegant chocolate truffles that cost only $1.55 apiece. The pretty truffles, which feature supersmooth ganache centers underneath perfectly brittle, glossy and often fancifully decorated shells, range from classic to inventive. So chocoholics can indulge in an intense Mousse au Dark Chocolate or marvelously flavored truffles with names such as Wild Blueberry and Gouda, Blood-Orange Mimosa and the mildly spicy and fruity Theobroma.

Timely current specials include a strawberry-andchampagne truffle and chocolates embellished with hearts, pinks and reds, the word “love” and so on. Expect festive, Valentine’s Day-appropriate packaging as well. And expect savory treats to start emanating from the shop when it soon expands with its in-store Cocoa Bistro — plans are for a March debut. Hopefully, like the great candies sold here, the Cocoa Bistro’s brunch-oriented fare will be full of terrific flavors. And pure imagination, of course.

ValeNtiNe’s Day Date iDeas By Nicholas Dekker If you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with a loved one, you’re under all kinds of pressure to have the perfect gift, the perfect meal, the perfect plan. That’s why so many wait until the last minute and end up mobbing grocery stores for generic boxes of chocolate and overpriced rose bouquets. This year, plan a casual itinerary that emphasizes local food and drink — one that gives you time to simply celebrate being together. Also, no one says you have to celebrate on Valentine’s Day itself. With the holiday falling on a Tuesday this year, pick a night — weekend or weeknight — and use one of these guides as a starting point. Fourth Street hopping The Downtown Fourth Street corridor has emerged as an entertainment district all on its own, offering you plenty of options for casual food, drink and games. Start with your choice of meals on South Fourth: tacos and tequila at El Camino Inn, burgers and poutine at Little Palace, hot dogs and beer at Dirty Franks, cauliflower tots and sandwiches at Hadley’s or pizza and pepperoni chips at Mikey’s. Stop for a few rounds of games at 16-Bit, then head north for duckpin bowling and shuffleboard at Pins Mechanical Co. Finish off the night with beers at the Wolf’s Ridge or Elevator Brewing taproom.

Cauliflower Tots at Hadley’s

Dinner, MeaD anD a Show The northern end of the Short North sees continued growth with new restaurants and developments, and that area affords you several options within easy walking distance. Focus around Fifth Avenue and High Street, and start with tacos at Condado, pizza at Paulie Gee’s or the seasonal farm-to-table goodness at the Table. Then meander over to Brothers Drake for mead flights and cocktails. Finish the evening with live music at Brothers Drake or a show at the Short North Stage. taprooM touring Seek out off-thebeaten path taprooms like Sideswipe Brewing near Grandview, Actual Brewing near the airport, Ill Mannered in Powell or Four String’s two dives — one in Grandview and one at the west side production facility (where you can get

a tour!). Sip some suds and play video games, pinball or darts. Many of the taprooms host food trucks, so a creative dinner is easy to find. Make a game out of it and collect stamps in the Columbus Ale Trail book. ethnic eating You’re not a traditional couple, so why would you go for a traditional meal? Challenge your palates by exploring one of the many ethnic cuisines represented across the city. Taste Somali sambusas and tender stewed goat at Hoyo’s Kitchen. Order a shared platter of colorful and flavorful Ethiopian fare at Lalibela. Taste authentic Mexican dishes at La Plaza Tapatia (then go shopping for fresh pastries). Sit for Sunday dim sum at Sunflower Chinese Restaurant. Grab a seat at the counter for Momo Ghar and enjoy authentic Himalayan dumplings.

Heatwave at ace of cups We had a blast dancing, especially to “Shout,” during which the entire bar squatted down for the “a little bit softer” section (my thighs still hurt). Overall, the music was the highlight of the night. I heard some of my favorites, like Smokey Robinson & the Miracles’ “The Tears of a Clown” and Marvin Gaye’s “Can I Get a Witness.” I was also reminded of the many old songs that have been adopted for cheesy commercials (e.g. “Venus” for Gillette and “Cool Jerk” for Cool Whip). Given my lifelong obsession with the Temptations, I ran onstage during “Ain’t to Proud to Beg” and found someone to shout the lyrics with me. While I was up there, I ran into a guy with whom I had a coffee date scheduled for the next day (my previous relationship fell apart after the election, or when the country fell apart). Neither of us knew the other would be at Heatwave. It was definitely a cool surprise. We danced and talked about everything from the Affordable Care Act to master’s degree programs. It was also a tricky social situation because I wanted to spend time with him but also give him space to hang out with his friends. I would talk about my coffee date but, as I’m not Carrie Bradshaw, that type of discussion is for another time and another column.

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, February 9, 2017

I’ve made progress controlling my anger regarding the parking situation in Columbus, but I had a bit of a relapse on my way to Heatwave at Ace of Cups on a recent Saturday. After getting stuck in the bar’s packed parking lot, I probably spent 20 minutes searching for somewhere to park before finding a random spot at East Tompkins Street and East Avenue. “Random” is a fitting word to describe the rest of my night at the vinyl, old soul and R&B dance party. I kept running into people I didn’t expect to see. But before I saw any familiar faces, I took a moment to watch the sea of people dancing, then slithered my way through to grab a beer. I hopped onstage to talk to a group of fellow Heatwave newcomers who were nonetheless the life of the party. By the time I made my way back to the bar, I’d bumped into BravoArtist co-founder (and one of Alive’s People to Watch) Cory Hajde, and also a coworker, who bought me a shot of tequila. As someone who can’t tolerate much alcohol, I am so proud of myself for not throwing up. My co-worker graciously allowed me to hang out with him and his group, which saved me from bugging bartender Aleks Shaulov (my backup plan if I didn’t connect with anyone).
