Houston rapper Scarface visits town for a show at the Newport on Saturday, March 17. With that in mind, we thought we’d look at how different MCs stack up to their namesakes.

Scarface vs. “Scarface” Released in 1983, “Scarface” has become the ultimate rapper film (it feels like every MC who ever appeared on MTV’s “Cribs” had the movie poster hanging somewhere), but Scarface is the ultimate rapper, consistently delivering heartfelt, harrowing music over the course of

two decades. This one isn’t even close. Advantage: Scarface (the rapper) Snoop Dogg vs.

Snoopy, the dog At this point, it’s debatable which of the two is more cartoon-like (sure, Snoopy is an animated character, but Snoop has evolved into an animated caricature). Of course, only one of the pair released Doggystyle, while the other served as little more than a marketing arm for the Charles Schulz empire. (Charlie Brown carried “Peanuts” and you know it.) Advantage: Snoop Dogg

Ice Cube vs. ice cubes Both are essential in their own way. Ice Cube is somehow responsible for both AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted and “Friday,” while ice cubes are central to everything from iced tea to tending to sore muscles.

Imagine being forced to drink everything at room temperature, though. Advantage: ice cubes Eminem vs. M&M’s One melts in your mouth but not in your hand.

The other opened his iHeartRadio Music Award performance by using his mouth to hand it to the NRA with a seething verse

Both could rupture your ear drums if used improperly (watch the volume in those headphones, kiddos), but only one is part of all-time rap crew A Tribe Called Quest, which released six albums over a 26-year stretch, all great.

Advantage: Q-Tip Flo Rida vs. Florida Florida gave us the George W. Bush presidency (boo!) and the @_FloridaMan Twitter account (yay!) while Flo Rida gave us “Low” (yay!) followed by a string of trash records (boo!). Regardless, I’ll take garbage over the unhinged craziness that tends to emerge from the Sunshine State. Advantage: Flo Rida The Black Eyed Peas vs. black-eyed peas Two words: “My Humps.”

Advantage: blackeyed peas

Stacy Dellibovi

Franklin County has the highest eviction rate in Ohio. Why? And what can be done about it?

W

hen Stacy Dellibovi arrived at eviction court on a Friday morning in early February, she felt like a failure.

Everything had gone downhill so quickly. A few months earlier, the 40-yearold single mom had been employed as a phlebotomist and support technician at CompDrug, an addiction treatment center.

Drawing blood and overseeing urine screenings was gritty, challenging work, but Dellibovi loved it. She relished being a positive presence in the lives of those struggling with addiction. For the first time in her life, she woke up every morning excited to go to work.

Then, the day after Thanksgiving, she lost her job. Dellibovi scrambled to look for another job, spending day after day on the computer filling out applications and redoing her resume. But nothing came quickly. Pretty soon she couldn’t make her car payments, and she fell behind on the $1,395 rent for the Canal Winchester home she shared with her two youngest kids, 8 and 13. She lost her brand-new car, and now she was facing an eviction.

When the bailiff called out her name, Dellibovi felt like a spotlight was on her as she walked down the center aisle in courtroom 11A of Franklin County Municipal Court, flanked on either side by tenants and their family members waiting in wooden benches for their turn in front of the magistrate. She carried herself with confidence in gray nursing scrubs, but inside she struggled to contain the anxiety, embarrassment and an overwhelming sense of dread.

Dellibovi’s hearing was one of the first of the morning, included among a batch of evictions filed by American Homes 4 Rent, a company that owns tens of thousands of rental properties across the country and was founded several years ago by billionaire businessman B. Wayne Hughes, who previously made his fortune in the self-storage business. Dellibovi’s landlord didn’t come to the hearing. Instead, American Homes 4 Rent sent an attorney with a written statement from the landlord — an affidavit.

Presiding Magistrate Gene Edwards — a young, cordial man who smiles more than you might think — began the hearing with a simple question: “Do you

THINGS WE LOVE: PIckS frOm PaTrIck rOEHrENbEck PAGE 16

understand what’s happening here this morning?” A series of other questions for Dellibovi followed: “Did you receive this notice to leave the premises?”; “Were you behind on your rent?”; “Are you still behind?”; “Are you still living there?”

“Is there anything else you’d like to tell me?” Edwards asked.

Dellibovi explained her trying circumstances, but because she had violated her lease agreement by not paying rent, her story didn’t make a legal difference.

Edwards granted a judgment for eviction and explained what would happen next, showing her the “red tag” — actually a fluorescent orange sticker — that will be placed on her door. If she doesn’t move out of the house within five days of the red tag showing up, the court will supervise the removal of her belongings, known commonly as a “set out.”

Dellibovi’s hearing lasts about two minutes, but those two minutes have potentially devastating consequences.

The eviction judgment will soon show up in court records, which means it will also show up in credit reports when she’s looking for a new place.

“I want to keep my kids in their schools and keep them stable because my kids are the first priority,” she said, choking back tears near the elevators outside the courtroom. “I just need to find something as quickly as I can.”

Dellibovi’s hearing is one of about 100 eviction cases that morning. Various magistrates preside over eviction court every weekday from 9 a.m. to noon, and on particularly busy days, the courtroom can process up to 250 cases. Many tenants don’t show up, resulting in an automatic eviction judgment.

In 2016, nearly 18,000 evictions were filed in Franklin County — the most in Ohio. Chicago, on the other hand, which has nearly three times the population of Columbus, filed about 24,000 evictions.

“When you look at it by population, the numbers aren’t adding up. Something is leading to a very high eviction rate,” said Melissa Benson, a housing attorney with the Legal Aid Society of Columbus (LASC).

“I don’t know if you can pinpoint it to just one thing, but it is very concerning.”

for the hearing and wait for their case to be called. If no tenant shows, the magistrate hands down an eviction judgment.

Landlords, meanwhile, are not required to be present at the first hearing. They can, and often do, send an attorney with an affidavit instead.

“I don’t understand why, as the tenant, I had to show up for court, but for them, it was just the attorney. No one from the company was there,” said Dellibovi, who missed classes at Hondros College of Nursing and received a failing grade for the day in order to attend the hearing. “Would I have expected a different outcome? Not necessarily. But I think as people, if we put a face to that person and hear the situation, maybe you can come at it with a different approach. When you’re not there, it’s all business and paper.”

When LASC attorney Melissa Benson came to Columbus in 2015 from the Legal Aid office in Chillicothe, she couldn’t believe landlords in Franklin County could evict by affidavit. “As someone who practiced eviction law for almost a decade, I was completely astonished that this was something that was allowed. It was something I never expected. I’d never even heard of it happening,” Benson said.

“I think it’s one of the biggest contributors to the high eviction rate that we have.”

“It also frustrates that negotiation process the court relies on so heavily,” Benson said. “The landlords aren’t there, so it’s hard to negotiate with someone who’s not there.”

The theory goes, if landlords were required to attend the first eviction hearing, they would be less likely to evict. Recently, Beiting and other members of the Women’s Commission witnessed a similar phenomenon firsthand while visiting the housing court in Cleveland, where landlords cannot evict solely by affidavit.

“We saw one instance where the magistrate turned to the tenant and said, ‘How many days do you need to get out of the property?’ And the woman said, ‘I need 14 days.’ And the landlord said, ‘No, I’ll give you 10,’” Beiting said. But after the magistrate asked the tenant more questions — “Are you over 60? Is there anyone medically disabled in the household? Are there any veterans in the household? Are there any minor children?” — the landlord took note of the woman’s four minor children and decided to give her the 14 days.

“I don’t believe that would have happened if the landlord would not have been present,” Beiting said. “There’s a connection there. The landlord has to look at an individual that they’re evicting. Maybe that would change the story for some.”

But Dimitri Hatzifotinos, a spokesman for the Columbus Apartment Association and an attorney with Willis Law, which often represents large rental companies in court, said affidavits don’t make it easier or harder to evict people.

“An affidavit takes the place of an appearance, but only if it’s uncontested.

So, if an affidavit is ever contested, an appearance is necessary,” Hatzifotinos said.

“But if the tenant says, ‘Yes, I’m behind in my rent; yes, I got a three-day notice; yes, I still live there,’ that’s enough for the landlord to get an eviction judgment without any other evidence.”

“I can tell you,” he continued, “being the largest volume filer in that court, and having been for many years, that if someone shows up who’s a tenant, and our office represents [the landlord], we’re going to do everything we can to work it out … whether we actually have a human being there to testify for us. A lot of times, we have phones and texts going full cycle as we’re down there, making sure that we’re not missing out on an opportunity to work something out.”

Hatzifotinos stressed that communication between the landlord and tenant before the court date is crucial.

“We would rather try to get money from residents than to kick them out,” he said.

“The goal is to get paid, not to evict. If there’s somebody at the table willing to pay, something can happen.”

Regarding Franklin County’s high rate of evictions, Hatzifotinos points to Columbus’ large number of renters and the fact that the county, which is the most populous in Ohio, has only one court handling all evictions. Stacy Dellibovi’s hometown of Canal Winchester, for instance, has a Mayor’s Court, but her eviction still went through Franklin County Municipal Court.

On March 8, Beiting discussed eviction-related policy proposals with Mayor Ginther, Council President Shannon Hardin, City Attorney Zach Klein and Councilwoman Jaiza Page. The affidavit issue, she said, is an area of focus, but the overarching goal of the Women’s Commission is equity in the eviction process.

“Sometimes cases get continued over and over again,” Benson said, “and each week the tenant is there and taking off work and spending money on childcare, but the landlord isn’t. There becomes an imbalance for the tenant. There’s a point at which it becomes inherently unfair.”

Matthew Desmond’s 2016 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “Evicted,” helped to start a national conversation about evictions. Locally, City Councilwoman Jaiza Page and Franklin County Commissioner Marilyn Brown took the lead on evictions last summer when they announced a partnership with Ohio State University’s Glenn College of Public Affairs to look into the issue.

According to the Glenn College research, more than 40 percent of Franklin County’s eviction filings occur in only six zip codes, with neighborhoods like Whitehall, Northland and the Hilltop accounting for the highest numbers. These disparities line up with a 2015 University of Toronto study that designated Columbus as the second-most economically segregated metro area in the country. As rents have continued to rise across the city, incomes have remained relatively stagnant.

“The income inequality in Columbus is staggering,” said Kelsey Tschanen, who, along with Brittany Cline, studied Franklin County evictions for their culminating research projects in the Glenn College master’s program. “When you start looking at evictions it really highlights that aspect.”

Mayor Andrew Ginther’s Women’s Commission, chaired by First Lady Shannon Ginther, also recently turned its focus to evictions. Just as women are most affected by homelessness in Columbus (95 percent of homeless families are headed by women), women are also more likely to face eviction, particularly AfricanAmerican women. In Tschanen’s research, 63 percent of tenants she surveyed at the courthouse were black women, and in a national Apartment List study last fall, data revealed that black households are more than twice as likely to face eviction compared to white households.

“Not everyone who is evicted becomes homeless, but many who are in a homeless shelter have been evicted,” said Shelly Beiting, executive director of the Women’s Commission. “We wanted to be a witness to the process, as well as to start talking to women and understanding their experience around evictions.”

Dellibovi’s experience with American Homes 4 Rent speaks to one of the primary differences between Franklin County and most other counties in Ohio.

During the first part of the eviction suit, tenants are required to show up at 9 a.m.

The vast majority of evictions are filed because of nonpayment of rent, and chances are, if tenants aren’t able to pay rent, they also can’t afford a lawyer. That means many tenants are on their own in front of a magistrate, and most tenants don’t know much about the legalities of the eviction process.

“By law they have to follow the same legal steps as a lawyer, and that’s very difficult for the average person,” said Magistrate Gene Edwards, who also helps oversee Franklin County Municipal Court’s Self-Help Resource Center. “This is so overwhelming for people when they come in.”

For instance, it’s not uncommon for tenants to decide not to pay their rent, and to use that nonpayment as leverage so they can hold their landlords accountable for repairs that haven’t been made.

After all, if the landlord isn’t upholding his end of the deal, why should the tenant?

But that’s not how Ohio law works. Withholding rent is cause for eviction. Instead, if repairs aren’t being made, tenants can go through a process to escrow their rent with the court. “A lot of people don’t realize [rent escrow] exists,” Benson said. “Then when they realize it does exist, there are enough steps that, if they haven’t consulted with a lawyer, there’s a reasonable chance they’ll do something wrong when they’re filing for escrow.”

To help with such matters, the Legal Aid Society’s Tenant Advocacy Project (TAP) has staffed a table every weekday morning outside courtroom 11A since March of last year.

“There’s always a Legal Aid attorney at the TAP table, and we also have a wonderful network of private volunteer attorneys from firms all over the city who come in,” Benson said.

Tenants can walk up to the TAP table and fill out an application, and then a Legal Aid attorney or volunteer attorney

will look for legal defenses. If there are none, Legal Aid refers tenants to Community Mediation Services, another nonprofit that sets up outside the courtroom.

Most often, a mediator helps tenants negotiate agreements with landlords to pay and stay in the property and have the eviction dismissed, or the mediator tries to work out an arrangement for the tenant to move out within a certain time frame and keep an eviction off the tenant’s record.

Beginning last year, a representative from Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services’ Prevention, Retention and Contingency (PRC) program is also onsite to help process and expedite applications for one-time emergency assistance to families in crisis.

Still, out of the 100-plus eviction cases on a typical morning, Legal Aid’s TAP program reaches about six or seven tenants a day — better than before TAP, but still a tiny percentage of overall eviction filings.

Stacy Dellibovi never knew about Legal Aid, even though she walked right past the TAP table, nor did she know about Community Mediation. Better education and communication about the eviction process is something everyone from city officials to the Columbus Apartment Association seems to agree on. To that end, Councilwoman Jaiza Page is planning a series of educational forums on eviction beginning next month.

But it will take time and many, many forums to reach tenants like Dellibovi, who said she has felt like a statistic ever since she became pregnant during her senior year of high school in Pataskala. “I was a teen mom, so that’s made life hard for me,” she said. “It’s followed me along the way.”

After high school, she set aside her dream of becoming an OB-GYN and instead worked medical assistant jobs while caring for her son, and then a daughter who arrived two years later. Dellibovi experienced an eviction in those first years of her adult life, but she bounced back and eventually started an in-home daycare business. In 2006, she married and had two more kids, but several years later the marriage couldn’t survive her ex-husband’s rocky re-entry after a deployment to Afghanistan. Yet again she proved resilient, working multiple jobs as a single mom while battling narcolepsy and fibromyalgia.

Losing her CompDrug job in

November and getting evicted in February took a toll on Dellibovi.

She lost 13 pounds in a month from the stress. “There were days that my stress would affect my kids,” she said. “They’d see me losing it and say, ‘Mommy, why are you crying?’ They got to see a lot of what you try to shelter them from.”

At the beginning of the year, Dellibovi began the nursing program at Hondros, borrowing a friend’s car to go back and forth for classes. She’ll soon start a new job with Advanced Recovery Services, working three 12hour shifts in between classes.

Most importantly, after searching high and low, she managed to find a new place to live — a privately owned Canal Winchester ranch house in the same school district as her previous home. It’s gray with a white picket fence around the sidewalk. In early March, the kitchen was cluttered with stacks of moving boxes and Christmas garland and Huggies diapers for her granddaughter. A sign above the hearth declared, “There’s no place like home.”

The $1,350 rent is still a bit higher than she would have liked, but with the new job, a borrowed car and some side work as a promotional model, Dellibovi is confident she can pay her bills. She’s determined not to let her recent eviction define her. But the court record is there, nonetheless. It can’t be expunged. Just like that teen mom statistic, it follows her around.

hen the Confederate flag was raised at the South Carolina Capitol building in 1961, the United States was in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement. While AfricanAmericans demanded an end to segregation, discrimination laws and voter disenfranchisement, the state was com-

memorating the 100th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, fought in part to keep blacks enslaved.

Fifty-four years later, in 2015, when South Carolina lawmakers voted to remove the flag, the state was still contending with racial tension. That year, 21-year-old white supremacist Dylann Roof — photographed waving the Confederate flag — murdered nine people in the black

Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston.

Three years later, the country as a whole remains embattled, with highprofile police killings of black citizens, a reported increase in hate groups and explosive protests like the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally of white supremacists, neoNazis and self-professed alt-right members in Charlottesville, Virginia.

“It’s in the air,” said activist and film-

maker Bree Newsome, who will speak at the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD) on Wednesday, March 21, ahead of the Columbus International Film & Animation Festival. Newsome famously scaled the flagpole at the South Carolina Capitol building and took the Confederate flag down prior to its official removal. She was subsequently arrested and charged with defacing monuments on state Capitol grounds.

of Corn’s strategic plan, which highlights four values for the college: inspiration, respect, positivity and accountability.

“We didn’t really change our mission as an institution, but we realized that CCAD didn’t have very strongly articulated values,” Corn said. “Not only are we educating students to join the creative workforce, but we’re also educating them to be creative citizens for the world.”

That also entails giving students the resources to be a “positive force for good in their culture and community,” Corn said.

Future events include appearances by Syrianborn poet Sara Abou Rashed and author Julie Lythcott-Haims. Corn said the school was intentional about bringing in diverse

speakers to represent the increasingly diverse student body and Columbus community.

“I think that art in itself is inherently political,” said Newsome, who is planning to write a book about her experiences since removing the Confederate flag. “Even if, as an artist, you are making some kind of performance that’s completely escapist … that’s still political in a sense. … Art never really exists separately from the time and setting in which it’s made.”

“I was just in Charleston recently, and it’s still very raw in terms of healing from the massacre,” said Newsome, a native of Charlotte, North Carolina.

“And even though the flag was taken down … the underlying issues still remain. And so we still have a long haul ahead of us.”

Though the Charleston Church Massacre prompted Newsome to act, she had been involved in activism for years. She marched with Occupy Wall Street, protested discriminatory voter legislation in North Carolina and got involved with the Black Lives Matter movement. Today, she continues to speak out against racism using her considerably larger platform.

“I’m mainly speaking from my perspective of organizing … at the community level,” she said.

“We really have a breakdown on the federal level right now. … During the ’60s Civil Rights Movement, you could actively campaign and effectively campaign for federal civil rights legislation.

We don’t really have that right now. And so I think that’s why you see so many people really resorting to local solutions.”

Newsome, a graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, can also share her perspective as an artist, which is why CCAD invited her to speak. “I think she’ll really be able to speak about how those two parts of her identity are connected,” said CCAD President Melanie Corn.

Newsome’s appearance is the first event in CCAD’s new four-part “Art. Design.

In April 2009, the Columbus Blue Jackets qualified for playoff hockey — the first time in the franchise’s eightseason existence. It was a team with an established star in Rick Nash, budding stars in Jakub Voracek and goaltender Steve Mason, and a strong supporting cast including R.J. Umberger and Fedor Tyutin.

That maiden postseason experience wasn’t the best, as the Detroit Red Wings swept the CBJ on the way to a second straight Stanley Cup Finals appearance. Still, no shame for the Jackets in losing to a juggernaut, right? The Jackets were a young team on the rise and getting stellar play in net from Mason, who won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie. The future was bright.

Until it wasn’t. The team was middling to start the following year, and the bottom fell out in December. The team fired Head Coach Ken Hitchcock in February and stumbled to the finish.

Three more seasons of suck followed, including one in which the team finished with the league’s worst record.

But in 2013-14, playing in the Eastern Conference after NHL realignment, the Jackets again qualified for the playoffs behind the play of budding star Ryan Jo-

Photo By AdAm cAirns

Ryan Murray, Jack Johnson and Pierre-Luc Dubois hansen and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, with support from James Wisniewski, Brandon Dubinsky and Nick Foligno. In a tightly played first-round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Jackets took two games and never looked out of place against a new rival. A disappointing finish, for sure, but with young talent and high-character leadership, surely the Jackets were in for a string of postseason berths.

Until they weren’t.

The team struggled to open the following season, and missed the playoffs despite a 15-1-1 finish. Not what anybody wanted, but the team seemed to have righted the ship and was primed to return to contention.

Until they didn’t. An 0-8-0 start to the 201516 season all but doomed the team’s chances from the outset. Head Coach Todd Richards was fired.

The team traded Johansen to the Nashville Predators in January.

So the team’s success

in the 2016-17 season was a bit unexpected.

Certainly no one could have predicted an almostNHL-record-setting 16-game winning streak.

The Jackets finished near the top of the standings, earning another postseason matchup with the Penguins. The team was dispatched 1-4 in that series as Pittsburgh went on to win a second straight Stanley Cup. But with Head Coach John Tortorella in place and a solid core, the Jackets were surely positioned for continued success.

Until… well, you get the picture. The team is currently in a playoff position, but is in a battle with maybe five teams for just three spots in the playoffs.

I’m as tired as the next person of losing first-round playoff series, especially to teams that are natural geographical rivals with built-in fan bases here in Columbus.

But I’m more tired of the team failing to string together two playoff seasons in a row.

Just. Get. In.

By Justin mcintosh For two or three minutes leading up to stoppage time at Mapfre Stadium on Saturday, March 10, I wrestled internally. Had I made the right decision?

And could it be the right decision if it left a friend hurt and feeling betrayed?

Around me, the once raucous Nordecke was largely silent. Above me, rocking against the railing, a man yelled profanities.

He sounded hurt saying them. In fact, he said as much. “It hurts me to say this,” he said amid his fleet of f-bombs.

Crew SC had squandered a two-goal lead, and with the game now tied and nearing completion, the stadium could no longer muster elation.

Our emotions were spent.

This game, it seemed, was poised to go the way of our history: bursting with potential but ultimately fizzling out at the hands of an enemy.

But, curiously, this man’s ire wasn’t directed at Montreal Impact players, or at Crew SC, despite the team’s middling performance. The refs were likewise spared.

No, his target this day was a much closer foe: the Nordecke. Or, more specifically, the capos charged with leading the faithful in chants and cheers and songs. He blamed them for the silence.

I couldn’t find it in me to relate. I was ecstatic, even if the game was tied, because I was here. In this

stadium. With my team.

With my family.

Plus, Crew SC came into this matchup having already dos-a-cero’d 2017 champions, Toronto FC, at their place. The season couldn’t have begun better.

Then Saturday arrived.

The weather was pitchperfect, and, as usual, the pitch looked perfect.

On the field, Artur and Wil Trapp were everywhere — intercepting passes, sliding in for tackles, launching 70-yard, pinpointaccurate, cross-field passes to outside backs. Within 15 minutes, Crew SC was up 2-0. The next 45 minutes passed uneventfully, and then Montreal struck net and then, finally, struck net again with only 5 minutes to go.

So, here we are, back at the Nordecke, back to my dilemma.

I look over. My friend is holding two beers. I feel awful. I apologize and tell her I was rude. I explain how I have this weird personal vow to not give Anthony Pre-

court any money. That I couldn’t give up supporting the team, but I wasn’t going to support Precourt in the process.

She hands me the beer and she says, “Well, you still technically haven’t given him any of your money.

So drink up.” So I do.

Moments later, a penalty was awarded to Crew SC. The winning goal was scored and our spirits soared. I swear, in that moment the sun shone ever brighter on the field, and as the final whistle blew and the players began to celebrate, we lingered, soaking it all in as if for the last time.

What a start. What a season already! What awaits?

so, WhAt’s uP With Austin?

I get this question more than any other. So here’s my tweet-sized answer: Crew SC owners have picked a site. Austin city officials are about to start investigating it. No progress in the ’Bus. Prognosis: Doesn’t look good.

COMMUNITY // THINGS WE LOVE

Collier’s Family Restaurant I’m not a serious foodie, but I do like to eat, especially food that’s authentic and made on-site, whether it be a diner, a burger joint or a restaurant serving food from a particular culture or tradition. Collier’s is a longtime Springfield, Ohio, staple, a country-style restaurant without all the trappings of chain eateries. But the real treat is encountering local-specific culture in an overlooked area.

Acre With a Thai bowl that can cure the most intense of cravings, this Clintonville staple is my go-to. Conveniently down the street from Wild Goose Creative, Acre is my place to meet with colleagues and friends for work and fun.

Baba’s I like to say that Baba’s is an extension of Wild Goose. Owners Dan and Caroline Kraus warm up our SoHud neighborhood with their warm smiles and mouth-watering breakfast sandwiches. Last December, Dan won Wild Goose’s Hot Plate Iron Chef Competition. You might still be able to see his almost 6-foot-tall trophy. This being the second restaurant of my favorites should tell you how much I enjoy food with no regrets or apologies.

Learning, learning and more learning This city is filled with a host of artsrelated workshops and panels. From learning how to communicate with press at a Columbus Arts Marketing Association panel to the newest trends in fundraising at the Association for Fundraising Professionals, to learning how to understand yourself, your art and your footprint on the community at Human School at Wild Goose, there are always people to meet, new things to learn and resources to plug into.

Netflix My catnip is history-based programming. Whether it is a documentary or biography, Western or Eastern history, ancient or more recent, when I have free time you will find me glued to the television watching the newest episode, edition or version of any and all historical shows. This is a mental-health activity for me and everyone needs to take some mental-health time.

“Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” I’ve long been a fan of watching Jerry Seinfeld go on coffee dates with funny people in fancy cars, and now that the episodes are available on Netflix I find myself gravitating to the series even more. I’m not really a car guy, but watching two intelligent, hilarious people talk about life over coffee never seems to get old.

–Joel Oliphint Counterfeit Madison Alive has reported on singer/ pianist Sharon Udoh and her band, Counterfeit Madison, multiple times. (She was even among our Bands to Watch).

However, I didn’t write those pieces so I can subjectively say I am a fan girl. I got a sneak peek at her new song for the recent musical project “The New Black Eastside Songbook” (see last week’s issue), and it is brilliant.

She’s also really sweet and cooler than I’ll ever be.

–Erica Thompson “Stranger Things” Have any of you heard of this under-the-radar show? I happened upon it on Netflix (it’s a digital streaming service, if you’re not hip to the term) and was immediately hooked by the first season. I’m already a few episodes into season two now and I’m hoping it catches on with enough people that creators consider a third season.

HALF WAIF

Nandi Rose Plunkett on new album ‘Lavender’ and rumblings of a Pinegrove return

BY AndY dOWnIng

N

andi Rose Plunkett, who records and performs under the name Half Waif, was in Texas when Donald Trump was elected president in November 2016, a setting that further heightened the impact of those events on the musician.

“It was the feeling of being far away from home and being in a conservative state, estranged from both my physical home [in New York] and also my idea of what our country is,” said the singer and keyboardist, who joins her band in concert at Ace of Cups on Monday, March 19. “Obviously those first few days were shocking and numbing and chilling.”

Amid this encroaching dark, Plunkett

penned “Torches,” a smoldering synthpop number that finds the musician attempting to make some sense of the chaos, pairing lines about violencemarred landscapes with the promise of an “undying coast” somewhere beyond the horizon. The hell/hope duality is further reflected in the song’s title. Plunkett said she was thinking of the KKK “and this idea of these monsters in the fields” when she first landed on the word — months before white nationalists adopted tiki torches as a symbol for their movement during an August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia — but she also understood the flames could signal hope, a literal light in the dark.

woods and writing — but it is true that when you surround yourself with that space it comes out in the music.�

Plunkett also credited the influence of her late grandmother, whose longstanding home-purification ritual gave name to both the album and song “Lavender Burning.� “She had lavender in her garden and she would boil it on the stove. ‘Granny, what is this weird herb?’ It looked like a cauldron, and she was a conjurer putting these sticks and twigs in a pot,� said Plunkett, who was able to play an early demo of “Lavender Burning� for her grandmother prior to her death. “[My grandmother’s] house was a very comforting and healing place for me when I would go visit. And even with her death she’s still a healing presence in my life.�

In recent months, Plunkett has observed a different kind of healing, watching as her former Pinegrove bandmates have quietly worked to find a way forward following a November 2017 public letter that singer Evan Stephens Hall posted in response to accusations of sexual coercion, delaying the band’s new record, Skylight, and leading to questions about when or even if Pinegrove would resume playing. “There’s stuff in the works. There’s the album, Skylight, which is completely done and ready to be released. And they’re working on a new record now. So the band is not done. They’re just trying to find the best way to re-emerge in a way that feels respectful to everyone involved in the situation,â€? said Plunkett, who parted ways with the live rendition of Pinegrove in August 2017 to focus her energies on Half Waif (Levine, who also drums in Pinegrove, is not part of Half Waif’s touring lineup). “But I absolutely see myself continuing to be a collaborator as far as recording. Singing with Evan was how I got brought into the band, and eventually ‌ how this project got started.

I will always jump at the opportunity to sing with him and play with musicians who have now become my family.�

“It’s both this horrifying image but it’s also this expelling of the darkness,â€? she said. “I don’t think I was feeling optimistic at the time, but I think in order to survive we have to tell ourselves we’re going to get through it. ‌ We can’t just lie down and let that darkness overtake us. There is some sort of hope that gets us through every day, whether we’re conscious of it or not.â€?

This relentless, unavoidable forward momentum proved to be a foundational element of the songs that grew to make up the new Half Waif album, Lavender (out April 27 on Cascine). Take second single “Keep It Out,� which Plunkett wrote about her relationship with current partner and bandmate, drummer Zack Levine, torn between growing love/admiration and a general fear of commitment (as a child of divorce, Plunkett said she grew up understanding “the inevitability of relationships to expire�).

Perhaps, the songs seem to suggest, the same internal rhythms that spur us to enter into romance despite the low odds of success are the same ones that can carry us forward and give us hope even amid political and personal upheaval. “I think it’s about moving through things, or recognizing that things change and wherever you are now is not the end,�

Plunkett said. “There is a shift and there is motion, even in those moments of feeling still. That’s the natural progression of time and seasons and day and night.

That’s built in to the way we experience the world.�

Plunkett’s more naturalistic way of viewing her surroundings could be informed in part by the musician’s current home in Chatham, New York, an idyllic small-town setting where she joined with Levine and guitarist Adan Carlo for recording sessions. “We were really isolated. It was summer and we had a pond, so there were a lot of frogs and animals, and, being in that space, it felt really safe. I think that feeling allowed us to take our time and explore sounds more deeply,� Plunkett said. “When I recorded in the past, it was often in Brooklyn or in the city, and that lends a different kind of energy. It’s more frenetic and there are always a million things going on. Being up here, I mean, it’s an old trope — the artist going to the

“Everything you know is a lie,” Frankie Rose sings on “Red Museum,” off the singer’s 2017 full-length, Cage Tropical, “and the life you have will die.”

Not exactly the stuff of inspirational posters, for sure. But while Rose’s words tread dire ground, the music itself often feels lush and inviting, giving the dream-pop songs a deeply unsettling quality akin to the opening scene in David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet,” where the director zooms beneath the quaint, inviting suburban landscape to reveal the beetles

But it’s yet another filmmaker, John Carpenter, whom Rose, formerly of Dum Dum Girls, recalls in her embrace of misty synthesizers, which haunt hazy, neon tracks such as “Art Bell” and the pulsating, ethereal “Game to Play,” a beautiful bummer that stands out even on an album loaded with them.

Ryan Eilbeck embraces eccentricity and familiarity in equal measure in his post-Delay band, Natural Sway. On 2016 album Sweet Life — one of the best to come out of Columbus that year — Eilbeck recruited Sarah Yetter and Michael O’Shaughnessy to fill out his indie-pop trio. But in November he temporarily converted Natural Sway into a solo project, recording songs to two-inch tape with Matt Tobey at Russian Recording in Bloomington, Indiana.

The resulting six-song EP, sacred as you make it pt. 1, often reveals Eil-

beck’s quieter side. “Love is like a black jellybean/ You can save yours all for me,” he sings on “Coat/ Hat” amid a comforting layer of tape hiss, hypnotic acoustic guitar and a meandering bottleneck slide. Then, lest you think Natural Sway’s gone folk, Eilbeck throws down a scratchy programmed beat for dance-friendly closing track “Dogyawn.”

Singer, songwriter and keyboardist Fran Litterski has a tendency to overthink things, often allowing songs to develop for weeks or even months at a time, obsessing over every detail until a track is just so.

Or at least that’s usually the case.

So imagine the musician’s surprise when “I Wish,” a track Litterski penned for her still-new solo project, Effee, arrived in a rush one evening in near-complete form. Unlike other songs, Litterski resisted letting her anxieties take hold, which is particularly striking considering the song was written, in part, about her anxieties.

“I was feeling drained and I hadn’t been able to write anything all day, so I pulled up [a piece of music composed by husband and collaborator Kurt Keaner].

I had this sentence written down in my notebook: ‘A little glimmer of hope and then a punch in the gut,’ and that became the first line,” said Litterski, who will be performing her fourth concert as Effee when she joins her band at Ace of Cups on Thursday, March 15. “[Anxiety] was something I had never really tried to write about, but it just clicked. The whole thing came out in 20 minutes, which never happens.”

Litterski said the handful of songs she’s written for Effee have been more personal in nature, ranging from breakup tunes that date back a decade (“Lying”) to the more recent outpouring that gave way to “I Wish,” which necessitated presenting them outside of her still active bands, including Kid Run-

ner and Fields & Planes.

“I got in that comfortable area of creating and having other people bring it to life, where I’m contributing one piece to this whole puzzle,” Litterski said. “When I got off the Magic Man tour [that Kid Runner opened], I was like, ‘I think I’m ready to just write and release my own stuff.’ … I have so many songs I’ve written, and I think I was just tired of having them sit in my notebook and on my computer.”

Early on, the songs Litterski composed for Effee emerged as polished nuggets of tightly composed electro-pop. In the months since, she’s allowed the music to grow a bit wilder and a bit weirder as she’s drifted further from this comfort zone in an effort to find her voice outside of the band environment.

“I’ve gotten in this thing where it’s like, ‘No, that’s not Effee. That’s not Effee. Oh, that could be Effee,’” said Litterski, who incorporates piano and guitar into her electro-tinged songs. “I don’t think I was playing it safe with the first couple releases, but I was definitely doing more of a tied-up kind of song structure. I feel like I started in this pop-style songwriting and now I’m moving into this weirder area, which is something I’m excited about. It feels right.”

Don’t let words like “atmospheric, instrumental post-rock” and “Montreal” pigeonhole Godspeed as just for the critics and grad students. The group these days is frequently bright, dynamic, exciting and, dare I say, fun, at least for those with more exploratory leanings.

The band’s latest, Luciferian Towers, may be its most accessible work yet. Godspeed has always been a tad cryptic, with its rotating lineup, lack of a vocalist and occasionally anarchist-friendly political leanings, all of which have added to the fun. This time, though, there is an

openness — almost a willingness to meet the listener halfway instead of hiding in the shadows — that comes across as darn near friendly. There are shades of My Bloody Valentine and early Talking Heads, Ennio Morricone’s spaghetti Western scores and (cough) Coldplay on Luciferian Towers, which will hopefully put Godspeed on the radar of the many different music lovers who may enjoy the album.

‘DIVERSITY IS OuR STRENGTh’ Photographer Lauren Pond highlights people of diverse faith traditions from across Ohio

BY JIM FISChER

A

Latino Catholic procession spills over into a Somali wedding and bumps up against a cowboythemed church service, which gives way to an Asatru (heathen) gathering and a Serbian Orthodox celebration.

Lauren Pond’s photography exhibition “Diversity is Our Strength” captures some of the scope and variety of faith communities that exist, often in close proxim-

ity, in Ohio, and particularly in Central Ohio. The gallery space at the Martin de Porres Center, where the exhibition will be on view through May 11 (an opening reception will be held from 2-3:30 p.m.

Sunday, March 18), places Pond’s images portraying these diverse faith traditions in relation to each other, in hopes of building understanding and acceptance among these faith communities.

Lauren Pond

“When you think of religion, what you think of are the more formal settings and worship services. Not that those aren’t important – of course they are – but I like to provide more of a cultural context,” Pond said. “I’m more interested in where the personal and the religious intersect. Ultimately, by getting past the formal differences of the various belief systems, you’re able to relate to people better, to find ways to connect.”

And thus an interdenominational Blessing of the Animals and a counterprotest by three “angels” of the Westboro Baptist Church and a portrait of a Native American dancer can be seen in the same space. And while they may not immediately have anything to say to each other, the images, both individually and collectively, offer something to the viewer.

“These are people within your community that you might encounter on a day-to-day basis,” Pond said. “While there are big questions about where religion comes from, I’m more interested in what is each person’s belief and what does it mean to them and how our beliefs affect our lives.”

Martin de Porres Center

Reception 2-3:30 p.m. Sunday, March 18 2330 Airport Dr., Northeast Side martindeporrescenter.net

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, March 15, 2018

“When I first started photographing I considered myself a traditional photojournalist, but now I think of myself more as a visual ethnographer,” Pond said in an interview at the Martin de Porres Center.

“I will just find out about these communities and do my own research and reach out.

The communities that I gravitate toward tend to be those that are misunderstood, stereotyped or marginalized. I’m most interested in portraying them in a more human, relatable way.”

And so an image of two young Mennonite women relaxing on a trampoline dwells near a young Somali woman with a get-out-the-vote sticker and a priest at an Ethiopian Orthodox festival shooting video with his phone.

“I was raised Presbyterian, technically, but we never really went to church,” Pond said. “I guess I fall into that spiritual-nonreligious category — I don’t really know what I am. Because I don’t come from a religious background, I think I’m just curious about what other people believe and why.

And also on a more psychological level …

I’m an only child and fairly introverted, and one thing religion seems to provide across traditions is a sense of community and belonging, and I think through photography I’m able to capture a little of that.”

While some images do depict ceremonies or worship services, Pond said she is more interested in the personal aspect of faith as it relates to the individual and their community at large.

By Jim Fischer Mike Faist has noticed that there are a lot of Ohio-born and Ohiotrained theater artists working in New York City.

That the Gahanna native and Tony Award-nominated “Dear Evan Hansen” star is one of them might make him more likely to notice, but the talent pipeline exists.

Faist would like to add a layer to the relationship between the theater communities in the Buckeye State and the Big Apple via the Ohio Artists Gathering, a still-in-development festival that would bring New York-based actors, writers and directors to Columbus for a weeklong festival during which new work would be created.

The festival would feature workshops for theater artists, open rehearsals and public performances.

“I’ve been living in New York for almost a decade,” Faist said in a recent phone interview, “and I’ve come into contact with so many people in this industry, onstage or backstage, with ties to Ohio. It’s mind-boggling.”

That Faist’s acting career was fostered on school, youth and community theater stages in Central Ohio is just part of why he’d like to bring OAG into being. Much of the theater on stages both on and off-Broadway was developed under similar circumstances, in festivals and workshops outside of

the city where there isn’t as much pressure and the opportunity to create exists for its own sake.

“It’s just about making a safe space for artists to develop new work, where people like myself can work on a new piece in the hopes of bringing it back to New York,” Faist said. “It’s a passion project. I’ve always wanted to bring people back to Columbus as a way to give back. There’s a reason why [Columbus] has been able to produce talent. I’d like to put the New York theater community and the Columbus theater community together.”

After a few years of kicking the idea around, mostly informally, Faist found a willing partner in Short North Stage.

“In our seven seasons, we’ve been lucky to host a lot of Ohio-born Broadway wannabes,” SNS Executive Director Tim Valentine said. “This is a great program to bring all

those Ohio-born Broadway people back. Part of our mission is to foster new works and up-and-coming writing. It’s very exciting.”

Rapid Transit, a fundraising event to support the Ohio Artists Gathering, will be held at the Garden Theater on Friday, March 16. Live music by Public, hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar and appearances

by Faist and fellow Broadway actor Corey Cott will be featured.

“I really need to do this for my own personal and professional growth,” Faist said. “I believe in [Columbus] so much. I have to believe there’s still more untapped talent, so we just need to expand on it and give it a shot of adrenaline.”

Dungeons & Dragons gameplay is mostly improvised. So what happens if you get stand-up comedians, improvisers and sketch-comedy veterans to play a game? The competition is real — and so are the laughs — in “Rad Dragon,” which finds Tyler Sole serving as Dungeon Master, taking a lineup of Columbus’ funniest through a fantasy adventure.

“You don’t have to play [D&D] to laugh at the jokes. You just have to be a fan of people playing characters and doing silly things,” co-organizer Kyle Tolliver said.

Based on the story of real-life conjoined twins and Depression-era Vaudeville stars Violet and Daisy Hilton, “Side Show” blends the music of the era with contemporary musical theater in a poignant depiction of the everyday hopes and dreams of people living on the fringes of society.

Ross Shirley, who directs Gallery Players’ production of “Side Show,” said he believes the story of the struggle for acceptance rings true given the current political climate.

“Theater offers opportunities

to look at ourselves and the world around us and consider them from new, different perspectives,” Shirley said. “[The sisters] fought so hard to be seen as not some gimmick.

They were true entertainers. But the tragedy is that is not what the world allowed them to be.”

Contemporary yet less familiar, Shirley said the strength of the show is its “big, belty Broadway ballads,” delivered most often in duet by Eryn Hollobaugh and Bailey Maholm, who play the Hilton sisters in the Gallery Players production.

Box office numBers drive more inclusive Hollywood

ColumbusAlive.com | Thursday, March 15, 2018

This week’s major theatrical releases are led by “Tomb Raider,” a reboot that’s decidedly more about showcasing its heroine’s strength, and the high school coming-out story “Love, Simon.”

Last weekend’s box office was topped by two movies with $100 million budgets that were helmed by African-American directors: Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther” and Ava DuVernay’s “A Wrinkle in Time.”

The need for Hollywood to be more inclusive — in both the stories it tells and who is charged with telling them — is hardly a new development, but we’re seeing changes that are worth noting here.

If there’s one thing Hollywood listens to, it’s money, and these successes just point to a need for representation that was there the whole time.

Coogler’s “Black Panther” has

already made over $1 billion worldwide and is the kind of cultural phenomenon we haven’t seen from a superhero movie, well, maybe ever.

In news that should surprise no one, a sequel was confirmed this week.

It draws certain parallels to Patti Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman,” which also had the box office success to guarantee a sequel, bolstered largely by a strong depiction of women that resonated with female audiences.

While it remains to be seen if the Alicia Vikander-led “Tomb Raider” will be a bona fide feminist film, it’s easy to see a lot more “Wonder Woman” in the trailers than the more-sexualized Angelina Jolie “Tomb Raider” movies of the early 2000s.

That formula makes sense, as “Wonder Woman” joined “The Last Jedi” and “Beauty & the Beast” as the top three highest grossing movies of 2017, marking the first time in

nearly 60 years that the top films of the year all had female leads.

We can also point to the surprise box office success of last year’s breakout, Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” (although that point would have been better punctuated with a Best Picture win, huh?). Or the cultural importance and wide success of Pixar’s “Coco.”

So who would have thought that not all movies had to be about straight white men, huh?

The point here is not to pat Hollywood studios on the back for finally doing the right thing, because these studios aren’t necessarily doing it for the right reason.

The point is that you cast a vote with your ticket dollars. So if you want more stories about and by people of color, women and the LGBTQ community, make sure you go to these movies. In a theater. Because that speaks Hollywood’s language.

ot your green outfit picked out yet?

Yes, National “Everyone Chug” Day, aka St.Patrick’s Day, happens again

Saturday, March 17. Depending on your outlook, that’s likely the best time or the worst time to find yourself in an Irish pub.

Date of visit aside, though, it’s good to know that if you’re looking to hoist a few Downtown, and you’d enjoy spending that time in an Irish-themed establish-

ment that serves thematically appropriate grub, Pub Mahone has you covered.

Taking its name from a literally inyour-face Gaelic phrase similar in spirit to “Kiss my Shamrock,” Pub Mahone is the uncommon spacious Downtown watering hole that showcases sports on TVs. Other features in the cube-shaped, modern room: Gaelic Athletic Association flags draped across a high ceiling; pew-like laminate tables; an irreverent tableau starring a mannequin dressed as a reverend; a live-music stage; a minibasketball game; and folks letting their hair down after work.

In addition to several Irish beers on tap, a multi-style Guinness sampler ($8) is offered. So is Kilkenny, a light Irish cream ale that’s exceedingly rare in Columbus. More ambitious imbibers might try a flight of Irish whiskeys ($17).

You can also try Irish hard cider — in your food — by ordering the Galway Bay Infused Mussels ($10). Served with thick and hearty rye toast, it’s a bowl of shellfish (I wish fewer were unopened) resting in a bold butter/cider/garlic broth.

Garnishes include diced tomatoes and onions, plus shaved parmesan, which amps up the substantial saltiness.

Galway Bay Infused Mussels

corned beef adorns another entree with abundant potatoes: Boxty Mahone ($10). Two boxties — Irish-style potato pancakes that here resemble hash brown patties — form the base for a sort of open-faced sandwich. Joining the good corned beef as toppings are soft and sweet, long-cooked cabbage leaves, plus lashings of “Mahone sauce,” a condiment that recalls horseradish-spiked mustard blended with Thousand Island dressing.

You can add a hefty side to your meal for $3. If seeking vegetables more healthful than potatoes, the straightforward house Cole Slaw can get the job done. So can the small Pub Salad, which includes cucumbers, butter lettuce, beets and shredded cheddar, and will probably be dressed with something from a bottle.

Both sides are OK if hardly remarkable.

Likely the most vibrant greens you’ll see in Pub Mahone won’t be on a plate — they’ll be worn by revelers on St. Patrick’s Day. Whether you show up then or not, it’s nice to know this lunch spot and convenient evening hangout is now available in the heart of Downtown.

The dish tastes good, but mine had a bit of grit, plus cool and scalding spots. I encountered similar temperature gradients in other meals, which suggests that the quick-arriving, house-made food is reheated to order here sometimes.

The solid Fish N’ Chips ($12) could be called Fish N’ Chips N’ Tons More Chips.

A single but sizable piece of flaky cod encased in crisp, not-too-oily beer batter is partnered with first-rate house tartar sauce plus an imposing boatload of good, little hand-cut fries. Like other dishes, it reassures patrons they needn’t worry about an Irish potato famine ever occurring at Pub Mahone.

The pleasant Bangers and Mash ($12), a British Isles classic, is another tuberhappy entree. Three properly seared bangers — soft-textured sausages made with pork lightened by grain-based fillings and winter spices — are served with overly stiff mashed red potatoes, innocuous house gravy and a vegetable du jour (on my visit, nicely grilled thin asparagus).

Stiff broiler-browned mashers form the casserole cap of the comforting if modest-sized Cottage Pie ($12). Underneath the spud “crust,” the simple but satisfying pie contains a filling made with ground beef, carrots, peas and house gravy that together tastes like beef stew.

“It was still fun, but some people came looking for something and they didn’t even get that opportunity.”

In response, Mikey’s is offering an LGBTQ version of the event, which will take place for the first time on Thursday, March 15. Going forward, Oliver hopes to offer the date night once a month, alternating between LGBTQ and straight audiences.

“We were hesitant about that because we like everyone to be one big family,” Oliver said. “But for the goal of trying to find someone you’re into, it makes more sense.”

It also helps ensure a safe space for the LGBTQ community, Oliver said.

Striving to be inclusive of everyone within that community, Oliver is still figuring out logistics. “I believe what I’m gonna end up doing is having name tags that say, ‘I identify as’ and then ‘I’m interested in’ so maybe that’ll break

it up a little bit or make things a little more clear,” she said.

To Oliver’s knowledge, there haven’t been any love connections yet, but plenty of friendships have been made. “On the flip side, we’ve also had people slam their chairs down and leave because they’re not into anybody,” she said.

“I just hope it doesn’t lose its novelty,” Oliver continued. “One fear of mine is that six months from now, it’s gonna be the same 30 people and they’re like, ‘I already went on a date with all these people.’ So that’s going to test my promotion skills.”

What ended your last relationship? A middleaged man on roller skates?

Passive-aggressive Post-It notes? Horrifying laser hair-removal accidents?

That’s not a typical conversation for a first date, but then again “Cards Against Humanity Speed Dating” at Mikey’s Late Nice Slice Downtown is not typical. Sure, the speed-dating setup is familiar: attendees have a limited amount of time to chat with numerous potential mates. But here it’s paired with “a party game for horrible people.”

“You’re trying to be as inappropriate as possible,” Mikey’s Director of Promotions Heidi Oliver said of Cards Against Humanity, which prompts players to answer questions posed on black cards with silly answers printed on white cards. “It just loosens everyone up and breaks the ice.”

Conceived three years ago by Mikey’s co-owner Jason Biundo, the dating event was previously scheduled once a year on Valentine’s Day. “It was just one of those random, ‘Let’s see if this would work’ [ideas], which is how Late Night Slice does everything,” Oliver said.

The series was an immediate success, drawing about 60 people the first year and about 78 the second year. But there were also some challenges.

“There were a lot of gay people across from straight people, and that was difficult,” Oliver said.

Icon For Hire, Opening artist Makeout. Despite their name, Icon for Hire aren’t indebted to anyone but their fans. Since forming in 2007, the duo — singer Ariel Bloomer and guitarist Shawn Jump — have amassed a legion of followers who have

connected with not only the band’s genre-bending sound, but also their honesty. That soul-baring spirit and realism is at the heart of everything Icon For Hire do. Produced by Mike Green (Gwen Stefani, All Time Low) and funded by fans through Kickstarter on a campaign that raised $127, 200—making it one of the year’s highest-raising music campaigns—the selfreleased album marks a brand-new chapter for the band. Blending hard rock, hip-hop, electronica and pop into an anthemic swirl of both melody and muscle, You Can’t Kill Us isn’t only a modern sounding record — it’s awash in lyrical themes that tap into the times as well. Addiction, depression and self-worth are all topics Ariel addresses and these themes reverberate loudly in today’s tumultuous, judgment-first culture.

After all, having survived the record label system and reemerged stronger than ever, Icon For Hire are living proof that you can take control of your life — and that’s perhaps the greatest success anyone can hope to accomplish. $15-$17. 7 p.m. A and R Music Bar, 391 Neil Ave., Arena District.

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku.

This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

INSTRUCTIONS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle! ANSWER ON PAGE 37
