on the cover In April, local quartet Boxing was removed from a bill at Ace of Cups headlined by Nashville’s Bully amid allegations one of its members had committed sexual assault.

This incident, as well as Dayton band Good English recently losing all of its tour dates (including planned stops at Ace of Cups and Rumba Café) as a result of the backlash it faced when a letter drummer Leslie Rasmussen wrote in defense of convicted Stanford rapist Brock Turner surfaced in early June, has reignited the discussion surrounding sexual assault within the music scene and the complex questions venue owners, promoters and musicians are forced to confront when these situations arise.

THE LIST

Ranking of big-scReen Jasons

By Andy downing @andydowning33

This week, Matt Damon resumes the title role in “Jason Bourne” after letting Jeremy Renner step in as Aaron Cross for 2012’s “The Bourne Legacy” (I consider that film the “Friday Night Lights: Season 2” of the Bourne series, as in I’d prefer to imagine it never happened). With that in mind, we thought we’d rank our favorite movie Jasons.

JAson “PreACher” rowe True, “Preacher” (Scott Thomson) wasn’t a major character in the 1996 film “Twister,” but he did land at least one solid line when a character asks him what a category F5 tornado could best be compared to: “The Finger of God.” (Also a solid potential name for an EDM DJ.)

JAson nesmith

“Galaxy Quest,” which stars “Tool Time” Tim Allen as

8

Jason Nesmith, is actually far better than its reputation, with the cast of a sci-fi TV series somehow acting the part to save the Earth.

JAson Biggs Did Biggs’ character in “American Pie” have a name?

Does it even matter?

JAson (of “JAson And the ArgonAuts”) I’ve never actually seen this movie, but this was the first Jason that popped into my head once we settled on the concept. Isn’t pop culture rad?

JAson Jenks From another movie I’ve never seen — he appeared in the “Twilight” series, apparently — but any character played by the great Wendell Pierce (best known as Bunk Moreland from “The Wire,” though equally great in “Treme”) deserves the added shine.

Like the rest of the cast of “This is the End,” which also includes Seth Rogen, James Franco and Michael Cera (in a scene-stealing turn), Segel plays himself here, landing a solid verbal dig at the years he logged on “How I Met Your Mother.”

JAson Bourne

JAson Voorhees Obviously the campground killer, with his trademark hockey mask, was going to land atop this list. And while it’s hard to argue against the greatness of the original, I also appreciate the so-bad-it’s-good quality of “Jason Takes Manhattan,” which largely takes place in colorless suburban tunnels, as if someone realized too late that actually filming in NYC could be, you know, expensive.

Comedian Troy Hammond CasHes in laugHs To save Home By eriCA Thompson @miss_ethompson

L

ocal comedian Troy Hammond has approximately 30 years of experience. He has performed in over 30 states, appeared in Rolling Stone and worked as a voice-over artist.

He also happens to be blind.

“You can’t really overcome adversity,” Hammond said. “You can adapt and make it through, but the only way

to overcome blindness would be if I were to be able to see.”

Hammond has spent his life making adjustments during challenging situations. When told his presence in a college video production class was unfair to the “normal” students, he switched his major from telecommunications to public relations. When asked to cover his eyes at comedy shows, he began wearing “funky and interesting” sunglasses, like a 3-D-inspired pair featuring one

blue-green lens and one red lens.

And now, facing the potential loss of his Westerville house where he has spent the last 20 years, he will host a benefit concert on Thursday, July 28, at Villa Milano, to help raise money to bid on the property at the upcoming short sale.

The house was titled in the name of Hammond’s wife, Patti, and ended up in jeopardy following her death in 2012.

Although she had an accidental death policy to pay off the mortgage, the bank

sold the house note as delinquent. And because Hammond and Patti’s commonlaw marriage is not recognized in Ohio, ownership of the house — and the insurance funds — were transferred to Patti’s late mother’s estate.

“The court wouldn’t allow the funds to be used to pay off the note but allowed a court-appointed administrator to make payments to keep the house from going into foreclosure,” Hammond said. “So I am like the old

Born with cataracts and glaucoma, the New Lexington, Ohio, native went completely blind at 14. “If nothing else, I had to try a little harder, which made me a little more extroverted,� he said. His outgoing personality came in handy when he took a comedy writing course from acclaimed writer and Ohio University professor Melvin Helitzer, and became one of his prized students.

From there, he started doing standup around Columbus before getting regular gigs nationally in the ’90s. “Two out of five weeks, I would be in Michigan or the Dakotas or Mississippi,� he said.

For much of that time, Patti was by his side. “We were ‘team blind guy,’ she used to joke,� Hammond said. And his house is full of memories with her: watching DVDs in the living room, making venison stew in the kitchen and exchanging rings.

And it was Patti’s wish that Hammond remain in the house if something ever happened to her. “She wanted to make sure that I was safe and not living in a cracker box like she met me in,� he said.

In addition to the benefit show, Hammond may use Patti’s IRA to save the house. “I’m far from out of the woods, but the light is coming through the trees,� he said. “We can hear the river.�

1940s Mickey Rooney movies with Judy Garland. ‘Hey kids, let’s put on a show.

We can save pop’s farm and he won’t have to move.’�

Hammond hopes to raise a portion of his $20,000 goal with the benefit concert, which will feature music by Bryce Hitchcock and Dan Orr, and standup by several comics, including Hammond and Stephanie Hodge, from ’90s sitcom “Unhappily Ever After.� “And she is bringing Mr. Floppy,�

Hammond said, referring to the TV show’s talking toy rabbit. “With comics ‌ you don’t get insurance, you don’t get retirement, you don’t get a regular paycheck,â€? said Charlie Wiener, another comedian participating in the show. “If somebody needs help in any way, we will always be there for them.â€?

Hammond incorporates his experiences as a blind person in his material but refuses to be self-deprecating. “I talk about some of the different accommodations like how all the ATMs have braille buttons, which is a convenient feature for the drive-thru, don’t you think?� he said. “I used to joke about those signs on High Street that say ‘blind cross here,’ hanging 20 [or] 30 feet above traffic, right where we’re gonna know about them.�

But he doesn’t limit his subject matter to blind jokes because “there’s so much more to life,� he said.

And though there are club owners who don’t want to book him, most audiences are welcoming. “They get over the idea that I can’t see and they realize I’m just some guy [and] I have funny things to say,� he said.

Through all of life’s trials, Hammond has remained optimistic and dedicated to putting forth the most effort possible.

1970s Horror Films The ’70s were an interesting time for western cinema because the Production Code (a set of moral guidelines applied to most major studio films between 1930 and 1968) was no longer enforced. To help me find inspiration for my upcoming project, I’ve been watching films such as “Halloween,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Let’s Scare Jessica to Death.” All three of these movies struggled with small budgets, yet the directors made interesting and memorable films.

I’m a big fan of “It Follows,” and Disasterpeace’s work as the composer made me fall in love with him. I’ve seen so many horror films that when I hear music that is brilliant and fresh, it’s so exciting! I’d list my favorite tracks, but I have at least five of them so that’s probably a bit much.

I’ve spent the last few years at film school in San Francisco, and going to the movies there is quite expensive.

Whenever I’m back home in Ohio, my best friend and I go to the movies at Marcus Crosswoods because it has great admission discounts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We recently saw “Lights Out,” which was beautiful and entertaining.

pJ HArvey She’s one of my favorite musicians of all time. I’ve been listening to her album Is This Desire? almost every night while I work on my endless to-do list for the short film. I remember the first time I heard her song “The Wind.”

It resonated with me in such an incredible way. It was probably then that I realized she’s a genius.

GrAeTer’s iCe CreAm I grew up within walking distance of a Graeter’s in Gahanna. Sometimes I get a big craving for one of their chocolate malts because it’s not often that I can enjoy one.

I also love going there to pick up an ice cream cake for a family birthday.

“That Part (Black Hippy Remix)” I like the original version of Schoolboy Q’s “That Part,” featuring Kanye West, mostly because I enjoy laughing at West’s ridiculous lyrics and screaming. However, the remix featuring Kendrick Lamar is terrific.

Lamar completely abandons the established structure and — according to the Internet — fits 87 rhymes into 24 bars. He never ceases to amaze me. Schoolboy Q also has a strong new verse.

–Erica Thompson “But What If We’re Wrong?”

Chuck Klosterman is one of my favorite essayists on any topic, and so far his thought-provoking new nonfiction book, “But What if We’re Wrong? Thinking about the Present as if it Were the Past,” doesn’t disappoint. All of a sudden I’m questioning whether gravity is even real.

“I’m so sick of fill in the blank,” Seattle-based songwriter Will Toledo sings at the onset. He spends a bulk of the record filling in that blank, turning out tuneful, ’90s-leaning indie-rock tunes steeped in angst and confusion.

Best track: “The Ballad of the Costa Concordia,” an 11-plus minute barnburner that begins with the singer “trying to regain some sense of peace” before giving up and uncorking an all-timer rant.

By Andy dOwning Venue owners, promoters and musicians confront allegations of sexual assault in the music scene

PEOPLE

Cory Hajde, cofounder of booking company BravoArtist, expressed similar sentiments in an early June interview. “It’s such a hard thing to observe as a booker because you want to make sure people feel safe coming to your show, but it’s also hard to separate what’s hearsay and what’s an actual fact,” he said.

Though these types of incidents are nothing new — from R&B singer R. Kelly’s decades-spanning history of alleged sex crimes through Kesha’s more recent lawsuit against Dr. Luke, which claimed the producer “sexually,

surfaced in early June, has reignited the discussion surrounding sexual assault within the music scene and the complex questions venue owners, promoters and musicians are forced to confront when these situations arise. “[The Boxing case] was very disturbing to me,” said Ace of Cups owner Marcy Mays, seated alongside business partner Bobby Miller, who books shows at the venue under the Archie Fox umbrella, for an early June interview. “We didn’t know anyone involved in this personally. I didn’t know any of the people who were making the

2014, the Columbus-based Fashion Meets Music Festival received criticism for selecting R. Kelly to headline its inaugural event — a decision that might have been met with less resistance had the festival taken place prior to the December 2013 publication of a much-circulated Village Voice article that recapped the long history of charges against the singer in graphic detail (Kelly’s headlining turn at the 2013 Pitchfork Music Festival, for example, went virtually unchallenged in the media).

Amid artist complaints — locals Damn the Witch Siren and Saintseneca both penned open letters expressing dissatisfaction with the Kelly selection before removing themselves from the lineup — and the withdrawal of sponsor WCBE 90.5 FM, FMMF and Kelly mutually decided to cancel his appearance in the weeks leading up to the festival.

More often than not, however, accusations of sexual assault are met with few repercussions — particularly when the alleged offender is part of a local scene and not a high-profile target like Kelly.

“The conversations aren’t covering anything new; this has been happening for a very long time,” said musician and activist Emily Holzer. “But the music scene has been so male-centric, and now voices are being given to people who didn’t have them before.

They have that platform to put a spotlight on those issues.”

April 6, shortly after 8 p.m., Ace of Cups updated the Facebook event page for a late-April concert headlined by Nashville rock band Bully, announcing local quartet Boxing would serve as the opening act.

Four hours later, the first comment appeared under the post: “Get boxing off the bill. I can’t support a band with a sexual predator.”

By early the next afternoon, a halfdozen posts expressing similar sentiments had been left on the event page, generating numerous comments and drawing a response from booking agent Archie Fox Creative Group, which wrote, “We have been receiving passionate correspondence on all sides of the issue. We take the safety of our customers seriously and have forwarded your concerns to the headlining band’s reps.”

Later in the day, just before 5 p.m., Ace of Cups officially dropped Boxing from the lineup and Bully singer and guitarist Alicia Bognanno issued a statement.

“Though we have no information and were completely unaware about the events involving Boxing band it is clear people are uncomfortable with them opening the show,” she wrote (Bognanno did not respond to repeated requests for additional comment).

“Bully shows should absolutely be a safe place for everybody, no questions asked. With that being said Boxing band will no longer be playing the show and we apologize for any confusion / concern regarding the show.”

The next day, Boxing singer Nic Wade posted a message on the band’s Facebook site where he denied any wrongdoing and expressed a need to take a hiatus from the group. (Boxing’s Facebook profile has since been deleted, and band members declined to comment for this article.)

’’I said nothing because I didn’t want to alienate myself and isolate myself. Nobody wants to deal with this, so you put it on the backburner and say, ’I’ll worry about it in the future when I can.’ ’’ “When it’s a huge black celebrity it’s a lot easier than someone’s local, white, guitar-playing buddy. ‘R. Kelly?

No way! But my friend? He didn’t do that,’” said singer, songwriter and guitarist Lydia Loveless. “Everyone knows survivors of sexual assault, but no one wants to believe they know a rapist, or even just a forceful dude.

They’re like, ‘No way would my friend do that.’ I’ve seen it happen to a lot of people, and it’s unfortunate.”

“What fascinates me is where people draw the line,” said musician Bob Brinkman of Bridesmaid. “With Good English, it’s easy to say, ‘Screw you, get lost.’ When it’s somebody you look in the face, somebody you see in your bar, somebody you’re sitting next to, it becomes really hard for people to say the same thing.”

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five women will be raped at some point in their lives, while 43.3 percent of heterosexual women report an act of sexual violence other than rape (these numbers rise to 46.4 percent for lesbians and 74.9 percent for bisexuals). Most sexual assaults, an estimated 63 percent, are never reported to the police.

“Most people don’t report it because they don’t feel it will be worth it, I guess, and because you don’t want to believe it was something that happened to you,” said Jennifer (not her real name), who spoke anonymously about her 2013 assault at the hands of a musician. “I said nothing because I didn’t want to alienate myself and

isolate myself. Nobody wants to deal with this, so you put it on the backburner and say, ‘I’ll worry about it in the future when I can.’ … I didn’t have the capacity to deal with it, and then when you finally come to — ‘OK, I’m ready to deal with this’ — nobody wants to believe you because you waited and didn’t blast it out on Facebook.”

Additional difficulties arise when the assault is perpetrated by someone who is part of the music scene, owing to the person’s elevated standing in the community (Jennifer noted the difficulty of knowing her alleged attacker regularly receives applause from an audience) and the person’s presence at events and establishments both might have frequented in the past.

“People will be like, ‘Oh, that band is great.’ And you’re like, ‘Nooo,’” said musician and activist Kathryn Keister of Plastic Heap. “If you’re assaulted by somebody in a band, it’s not only that they took that sense of emotional safety and the feeling of security in your body, but it’s like, ‘Oh, you also took my social life and my friends and my creative outlet and what I do to relax.’”

Activists and survivors alike stressed the need to start by believing victims when they come forward with a claim. “The most important thing we can do when someone is vulnerable enough to trust us and share that they experienced sexual violence, is we acknowledge how difficult that is and say, ‘I believe you,’” said Susan Wismar, prevention

education coordinator for the Sexual Assault Response Network of Central Ohio (SARNCO).

“It’s such a relief to hear those words [‘I believe you’],” said Jennifer.

“It’s like, ‘I don’t have to carry this alone anymore and this happened.’ It’s validating. When someone says they believe you, it’s the key to unlocking everything. You want someone to listen so your voice gets louder.”

While some might argue this concept appears to run counter to a key tenet of the U.S. justice system — that the accused is innocent until proven guilty — Wismar noted the affirmation has nothing to do with the offender. “If starting with believing would also have to imply you would then have to go beat the perpetrator up to teach them a lesson … that would be damaging,” she said.

This concept is the basis for SARNCO’s recent “Start by Believing” campaign, which is geared toward the criminal justice system’s response to women who charge violence. “We don’t start out with skepticism when someone says, ‘Someone broke into my house last night.’ ‘Did they really, though?’” Wismar said. “It’s treating rape like everything else, without bias. ‘OK, someone called me and told me their house was broken into. I’m starting with the assumption that’s true and seeing where [the case] goes from there.’”

The statistics support the approach, as well. Though firm data is difficult to come by, the most commonly accepted numbers posit that 2 to 8 percent of rape allegations are false, as presented in the 2010 academic study “False Allegations of Sexual Assault: An Analysis of Ten Years of Reported Cases.”

2012, Mickey Mocnik, guitarist for now-defunct punk trio Nervosas, found herself in the middle of a controversy when she defended a former friend who was called out in the local music scene for sexual assault. Initially, the friend defended himself against the charges, arguing that he and the victim were both drunk and even going so far as to suggest he was the one who was taken advantage of, according to Mocnik. And the guitarist believed him,

even calling the victim a liar to her face. A few weeks later, the friend admitted to the assault.

“The person he assaulted never forgave me and told me never to speak to them again — and rightfully so,” said Mocnik, who has since become a vocal advocate for survivors of sexual assault.

In the months that followed, the members of Nervosas were labeled rape apologists, a charge that was repeated on message boards, blogs and Tumblr accounts. Shows were threatened with cancelation, and the bandmates were often forced to engage promoters in order to quell lingering suspicions.

“We were on the ball in talking to people and not being reactionary, like, ‘Hey, let’s talk about what happened, and once you hear us out you can decide whether to book the show or not,’” Mocnik said. “We don’t consider ourselves rape apologists or dangerous in any way, and we never wanted to scare people or make them feel unsafe, or like we didn’t support them. Being on that other side is disturbing. It almost makes me sick thinking about it, like, ‘How did it get to that point?’”

The following year, in 2013, the musician found herself on the other side of the issue, when she was sexually assaulted by a touring musician in town from a neighboring city.

“After it happened, all I remember is being so scared and not having any shoes and running out of the hotel,” said Mocnik. “I was too scared to take the elevator and I took the stairs barefoot out to my car. … I was like, ‘What just happened to me?’ I knew what it would take to confront this and I never did anything. I buried it.

“I realized from that point on I should always stand with every survivor, because that’s such a fucked up thing to go through, especially when you don’t have resources at hand. I wasn’t covered by insurance. I couldn’t speak to a therapist. I couldn’t tell my parents. I couldn’t even talk to people in Columbus who had experienced this because they all viewed me as someone who didn’t support survivors of sexual assault.”

rock trio Good English recently experienced similar penned by drummer Leslie Rasmussen and presented during the sentencing of convicted rapist Brock Turner (the two are childhood friends), surfaced online in early June, setting off a social media firestorm that resulted in the band losing all of its scheduled tour dates and deleting its entire online presence, including profiles on Facebook, Bandcamp, Twitter and Instagram. The backlash was further fueled by the timing of the letter’s release.

loving smile on his face,” she wrote. A subsequent apology on Good English’s Facebook page placed further blame on alcohol, citing “students’ excessive enthusiasm for binge drinking.”

In a third statement, Rasmussen finally acknowledged the “severity of Brock’s crime and the suffering and pain that his victim endured.” “I fully understand the outrage over Brock’s sentencing and my statement. … I am only 20 years old, and it has never been more clear to me that I still have much to learn,” she wrote on Facebook.

In a Facebook message to Alive, Rasmussen declined further comment, writing, “The things I have learned are enormously transformative, but I’m

definitely not ready to articulate them verbally or through writing. I may never be able to, and I hope you can understand.”

Opinions about Good English’s apparent dissolution were mixed.

Lydia Loveless expressed little sympathy for the band’s situation. “I don’t think people like that deserve to have a platform any more than somebody who raped someone does,” she said. “It’s hard enough to be a female musician with all the bullshit you go through and the constant harassment and people grabbing your ass when you’re trying to get paid.

Really, do we need a bunch of female artists standing behind a brutal rape?”

backlash. A character statement

Rasmussen’s submission to the trial judge appeared on the internet just days after BuzzFeed posted an open letter from the rape survivor to Turner, and it’s likely some read the drummer’s character defense as a counterpoint, when it was actually written months prior to the viral post.

In the letter, Rasmussen directed blame at both the victim and alcohol (“I don’t think it’s fair to base the fate of the next ten + years of his life on the decision of a girl who doesn’t remember anything but the amount she drank to press charges against him”), while deflecting it from Turner, describing the Stanford student as well-liked. “He always had that huge,

Others, like Marcy Mays, attempted to take in the view from Rasmussen’s vantage point.

“I took a few minutes last night, and I tried to pick a friend of mine who was the friendliest, most clean-cut and thought, ‘What if that person was [Brock Turner]?’ And I was able to feel compassion for this woman writing this letter, who was in total denial that her friend had done this horrible thing,” Mays said. “I’m not going to say I can’t relate to that. I was trying to look at it from her perspective, and then I started thinking about her bandmates, and I feel really bad for them. This is their life, too. At what point do your actions stop trickling down and becoming everybody’s business? Does that punishment have its intended outcome? Or does it drive her further into a corner?”

“We need to have a conversation before we start a witch hunt. And people love witch hunts,” said activist Marritt Vaessin, who used to run the Safer Spaces project, which worked with individuals, groups and venues on ways to respond to situations involving harassment. “It’s really easy to write someone off. Black and white is really easy. But to understand someone — that doesn’t defend what they did — but to understand where a person is coming from, or at least give it context, allows for a much deeper understanding of what’s going on. It’s important to give people the opportunity to grow and learn. … If you allow them to grow, they’re going to become better people and allies, and they’re going to help continue that conversation and see situations and step in.”

The increased discussion surrounding sexual assault has already impacted the music scene in distinct ways. Mays said it will change Ace of Cups’ approach to booking, and Bobby Miller said it’s caused him to do more research prior to signing a contract with a band.

“Even the national acts we’re booking, I’ll do more research on them,” agreed Cory Hajde, who first experienced public blowback when BravoArtist booked and subsequently canceled a March 2015 Woodlands Tavern show with Front Porch Step, a.k.a. Ohio-based singer and songwriter Jake McElfresh, who was

And people love witch hunts.” accused of engaging in inappropriate text message relationships with at least half a dozen teenage girls. “That whole situation was crazy. Woodlands’ Facebook page got like 60 messages, like, ‘We’re going to trash your venue’ and ‘We’re never coming to your venue again.’”

Nearly everyone interviewed expressed a degree of sympathy with venue owners and promoters tasked

with making these difficult decisions.

“I know people feel the victim should immediately be believed and you should immediately cut ties, but when you’re running a business you can’t have a trigger finger,” Loveless said.

“It doesn’t have to be a personal indictment [of the band], and more information doesn’t need to be known about the actual situation to put [the

concert] on hold,” SARNCO’s Wismar said. “What it says is, ‘I won’t treat an accusation or a report of sexual violence as not my problem.’ Will our culture’s only response to sexual violence be through the justice system, which only a tiny fraction of sexual violence cases go through? We are allowed to have a higher standard than the law.”

or years Greta Kline, the creative force behind Frankie Cosmos, carried a backpack stuffed with just-in-case sundries: sweater, notebook, books, Ziploc bag full of markers.

When managing her own tour, she’d also bring along her computer.

“I realized my computer was on my back for the entire tour. I could never put it down somewhere,” Kline said by phone recently.

“When you bring stuff you don’t need, and you’re lugging it around for a month, you regret it so much. I remember there was a tour where our bandmate brought ‘Settlers of Catan’, and it just sat in the car for five weeks, and we were all so annoyed by it.

album’s closing track, “Sad 2,” is a gut punch for anyone who’s ever had to say goodbye to a furry friend. “I just want my dog back/ Is that so much to ask?” she sings. “I wish that I could kiss his paws.”

“I have tried to convince my parents to get another dog,” said Kline, the daughter of actors Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates. “But I still love Joe Joe and think about him all the time. It’s not as intense as it was right after it happened when I wrote a million songs about it. But it’s such a crazy thing [to have to put a dog down]. It’s so horrifying, and it’s scarring. You can’t unsee it. … And there’s so much guilt and terrible feelings around it, but you only do that because it’s better for the animal. … If I’d done this interview two years ago, I’d probably be crying right now.”

In conversation, Kline comes across as bright and chipper — so much so that people sometimes don’t see past her chatty, cordial persona. “My soul is not a waterpark/ It’s big but surprisingly dark,” she sings on “Sinister.”

“That line is about surprising someone else about being dark,” Kline said. “It’s about someone saying to me that they think my soul is like a waterpark — like it’s big and sunny and kind and fun. It’s like, well, there’s this darkness that you don’t know about.”

Despite the darkness, Kline continually tries to connect with the world in deeper ways. “Someday, in bravery, I’ll embody all the grace and lightness,” she sings on “Embody.”

“Embodying the grace and lightness is the way I feel when I’m onstage — when I’m not thinking about anything else except connecting with my bandmates and these people in the room,” Kline said. “It’s this beautiful thing. I don’t know if I have that yet in other places in my life. It’s about wanting to feel that all the time.”

PEOPLE

Recently, Kline started lightening her load. She usually ditches the backpack for a smaller bag. A smartphone takes the place of a computer. And after a friend’s notebook with five years’ worth of writing was stolen, Kline realized she didn’t want all her ideas with her at all times.

That tendency to discard anything extraneous carries over to Kline’s music. A Frankie Cosmos song often lasts two minutes or less. The band’s most recent album, Next Thing, covers 15 songs in less than 30 minutes, and 2014’s 10-song LP Zentropy clocks in at 18 minutes. But the length of these indie-pop gems is secondary to Kline’s casually incisive songwriting, which filters out every superfluous word or phrase until only the golden nugget of an idea remains.

“I’ll be messing around with the same idea for a long time. Figuring out how to express something takes a lot of tries,” said Kline, who’ll visit Ace of Cups with her three bandmates on Thursday, Aug. 4. “I have a lot of excess stuff to get through to figure out what I want to say or how to say it.

Editing is really important for me. Now I’m doing it privately, but when I was younger and just uploading everything I made to my website, I was publicly doing that — messing with the same themes until I get it right.”

Kline, 22, began writing songs as a New York teen and posting them on Bandcamp under various names (Ingrid Superstar, Zebu Fur) before settling on Frankie Cosmos. Zentropy, her first studio album, brought Kline’s music to a wider audience and was named New York magazine’s No. 1 pop album of 2014. On Next Thing and last year’s Fit Me In EP, Kline wrote and recorded new songs while also applying fresh, fullband arrangements to some of her older material.

Though Kline no longer lugs a big notebook, she’s constantly writing down observations and ideas in small, 30-page Muji notebooks. She’s a true poet, using quotidian aspects of everyday life as vehicles for larger concepts of belonging, control and the messiness of relationships. And also her dog.

Kline’s family dog since first grade, Joe Joe, died a few years ago and ended up on the cover of Zentropy. That

Going from Keith Crier to stage name Keith Sweat made sense given this oldschool crooner’s propensity for steamy, bedroom R&B, but “Crier” would have worked with his whiny vocal style, too. If there’s a baby boom in Columbus in early May, blame Sweat.

In 2014, a surgeon drilled holes into Corey Fry’s kneecap to fix an old basketball injury from college. It’s a surgery that involves nine to 12 months of recovery, which was especially hard for Fry, an active runner and biker. While the blood in his knee helped create new cartilage over the next year, Fry would dream about running through the mountains.

But the surgery and recovery only revealed more problems in his bones.

Doctors discovered a congenital hip syndrome.

“The orthopedic surgeon who did my surgery was like, ‘I don’t know how you can tie your shoes … You should have a hip replacement right now,’” Fry said recently at a Downtown coffee shop. “So I saw this hip specialist, and he was like, ‘Yeah, you’re gonna need hip replacements. I can’t say when. If it doesn’t hurt you right now, do what you want until it hurts.’ … So I’m at the point where I’m just going to use and abuse my body until it totally gives out.”

The premature deterioration of Fry’s body provided inspiration for “Scalpel,” a track on EP1, the debut release from Fry’s band, Sunrise Reset, which will play the Big Room Bar on Wednesday, Aug. 3 as part of CD102.5’s Frontstage Live. The song begins with a folky, loping rhythm that recalls Fry’s former band, Monolithic Cloud Parade, before walloping drums and garage-rock guitars fade in and take over, signaling the expanded sonic possibilities of Fry’s new project.

“I wanna come back strong like I’m on fire,” sings a reinvigorated Fry, whose carpe-diem philosophy injects “Scalpel” with infectious energy, even when he’s despairing. “Now I believe I’ll never see the day where my body and me are whole again.”

Front St., Brewery District bigroombar.com ALSO PLAYING: GREENJEANS Monolithic Cloud Parade called it quits in 2011, right before Fry was about to start grad school at Ohio State. His teaching gigs were wearing him down, and he wanted to get a counseling degree. Grad school didn’t leave much time for music.

After graduation and surgery, Fry became an elementary school counselor and reformed MCP with his old bandmates (guitarist/keyboardist Damien Pyles, bassist Darrin Wesenberg and drummer Robert Walker) to record 14 songs, seven of which they recently released as EP1, and seven that will see release in September. To signal a fresh start, Fry named the band Sunrise Reset after a song on MCP’s final EP. Soon after recording tracks at Relay Recording

and at home, Fry also found a new drummer, Otterbein University Band Director Michael Yonchak.

In addition to wrestling with his body’s shortcomings, EP1 also finds Fry trying to come to terms with his father’s abandonment. Growing up, Fry’s dad was an ultrarunner, competing in 100-mile races and even one 200-mile race. He wasn’t present much — physically or emotionally.

“I thought it was normal as a kid to have a dad where he’d wake up and not talk to anybody for three weeks and then wake up and he’d be joking and laughing in the kitchen,” said Fry, who wrote leadoff track “Dancing Bears” about his father, a Grateful Dead fan who would refill his Walkman at aid stations with cassettes

of Dead concerts. “His hands were a swollen mass of rubbery flesh/ Said ‘I been running away from myself but I don’t know it yet,’” Fry sings.

“My dad left Christmas Eve of 2005.

He literally packed up his Mazda truck and drove to Montana. I haven’t seen him since,” Fry said. “Well, I’ve seen him once. About three years ago I was running at Highbanks, and he apparently was in town with a friend and he was running by me. I was like, ‘I think that was my dad…’

“A lot of the songs are about my dad and trying to come to terms with him as a person, and that suddenly he’s gone from my life. … I wrote him off when he left. But he’s still there.”

The bandmates in the Conformists are anything but, favoring unexpected time changes, treated, shape-shifting guitars and vocals that, at times, could most politely be described as unhinged (check the latter half of the lurching, spastic “Our Baseball Careers”). Tracking songs like “Meow,” a wandering, 13-minute opus, can feel akin to chasing a deer through the woods, incorporating long, grazing lulls and fasttwitch passages that dart between trees and bound over streams — shades of the sonic alchemists in U.S. Maple.

Divorce, released earlier this year, is the quartet’s first album since 2010’s None Hundred, coinciding with the return of original singer/barker Mike Benker, who’s joined in the fold by drummer Patrick Boland, guitarist Christopher Dee and bassist Chris Boron.

Sega genocide

By JoEL oLiphint A little more than a month ago, a train of thunderstorms devastated parts of West Virginia with flooding the National Weather Service called a “one in a thousand year event.”

Sega Genocide singer Brian C.R. and his wife, who grew up in Parkersburg, West Virginia, began looking for ways to help the flooded communities, but they had trouble finding ways to do so from out of town.

“We talked with a lot of our friends and family back in West Virginia, and we discovered a fundraiser for the Rainelle Public Library,” C.R. said in an email. “Storm waters destroyed their entire collection and gutted the building, and Rainelle is a town in Greenbrier County — the county that saw the biggest loss of life and most severe flooding. The fundraiser goes directly to the library’s account.”

Following Correy Parks’ early afternoon set at 2x2 Hip-Hop Festival, the rapper took to Twitter, writing, “#2x2fest was so dope today. Lowkey almost legit had a heatstroke though lol.”

The heat wasn’t the only dizzying element of the fest, which took over campus-area Rice Paddy Motorcycles on a recent Saturday.

During Parks’ time onstage, the MC uncorked dense, head-spinning verses packed with pop culture references (“Adventure Time,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street”), allusions to classic cuts (“The Glow” borrowed the title line from Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come”) and biographical snippets that pointed to a darkened past (“Rollin”) and a brighter, more promising future (“Vibe”).

Now in its second year, 2x2 expanded to take over the street on a blockaded stretch of North Grant Avenue, an area that included a

trio of food trucks, a kids’ play zone and a cypher tent manned by a pair of Js when the day kicked off: DJ and producer J. Rawls and rapper Jai Carey. On the exterior of the building, a cadre of graffiti artists flashed their skills, including one gentleman who produced an elaborate portrait of Cleveland Cavalier King James, complete with freshly earned crown.

Inside the grounds, three stages were erected, including the Roofless Stage, an imposing brick structure whose caved-in ceiling blessed it with its name.

During an early turn from duo T&J, the pair nodded to the unique environs, spitting, “The whole city is behind us” and gesturing at the Downtown skyline off in the distance, as in it’s literally behind us.

lan Reeve and Jay Mueller have curated exhibitions of erotic art before, but none quite this large and none in Alicia Vanderelli’s vanguard Franklinton space.

“Il Gabinetto Segreto” (more on the title later) will feature the work of more than 60 artists — close to 150 pieces in all — most of it new and some of which has never been exhibited.

32

Jay mueller “the throne”

“This stuff is awesome.

Everything that has come in has been mind-blowing,” Reeve said, eschewing any fear of hyperbole.

(Also, he’s right.)

“You’d be amazed at how many galleries won’t show erotica,” Reeve said.

“In a mildly conservative culture, it can be hard to get shows like this out there,” Mueller added. “This show will demonstrate that the caliber of artwork is high. This is well-crafted art, as well as being enjoyable and erotic.”

“I wanted the opportunity to showcase this kind of work and to participate,” Vanderelli said, joking that she made her inclusion a condition of hosting the exhibition in the Vanderelli Room. “It’s a fit for the gallery and for myself as an artist.”

In order to combat a culture that offers few opportunities to display erotic art and to foster an ongoing appreciation

for the content, Reeve and Mueller approached the assembly of the exhibition with two primary goals: first, to have art from artists stretching from local to international; and second, to not limit in any way an artist’s definition of erotica.

“We didn’t want to bar the artists from touching upon anything,” Reeve said. “So we really opened it up.

We have some pieces that are humorous, some that are shocking and some that are stunningly beautiful.”

“Pretty much if it’s tantalizing and titillating, and if it’s good art, then it fits,” Mueller said.

“Il Gabinetto Segreto” features strong Columbus and Ohio participation, but also highlights work from national and international artists.

While many of the artists were known to or even friends with Reeve and Mueller, some were artists whose work the

Not all of the work is strictly representational, Reeve said. Some of the work is more “esoteric in nature — shapes and how they’re perceived.”

“When you think of erotic art, your brain thinks sexual,” Vanderelli said.

“The artists that are part of this exhibit have contributed beautifully-rendered pieces, including abstract works that aren’t necessarily representational.”

As for the show’s Italian title, “Il Gabinetto Segreto” translates to “The Secret Cabinet,” which refers to actual structures that were built to house ancient erotic art uncovered in Rome and Pompeii that was deemed too pornographic for the general public.

These shocking works were hidden, accessible only to men with status and money and not to the general public.

Reeve, Mueller and Vanderelli hope to dispel some of that exclusivity and also some of the uneasiness that often surrounds erotic art.

Most art shows have a theme, Reeve said, and erotica is “just another theme.” (Still, because of the nature of the art, this show will be 18-and-up, Vanderelli said.)

“We want people in Columbus to be able to come see what this art is and to get people comfortable with it,” Reeve said.

“We hope people will be excited to come and check it out,” Mueller said. To that end, he added, opening night will feature “a little bit of a spectacle.”

pair discovered via social media, and were “cold-called” to solicit their participation.

“We felt it was important to have international representation,” Reeve said.

International artists include Marcus Deleo from El Salvador and Polish artist Aleksander Marek Korman, of whose work Reeve said he has been a fan for years. These two are among the curators’ seven “headliners,” a list that also includes Kate Morgan, Alan Cottrill, Randi Channel, Mandy Cook and Paul Richmond.

“We called friends whose work we love and respect, and contacted others we knew who do work on the theme,” Reeve said, adding that securing the participation of these artists made it easier to approach others. He added that many of the artists he sought out had never worked in this genre previously.

“We knew we had a good selection of capable artists. Some had never done erotica before, but we wanted them to see what they might do in a show like this. It stretches an artist to delve into a theme they’re less familiar with,” he said. “When we told them that they would already be in, that they didn’t have to qualify, most were on board right away. There were just a couple who either were unable to do the show or who couldn’t connect with an idea.”

“Also, by including artists who’ve never worked in erotica before, it gave us a crazy ton of variety in subject matter,” Mueller said.

The wide-net approach resulted in a significant variety of mediums as well.

Painting and photography are represented, but also sculpture (traditional and non-traditional), illustration, charcoal drawings, fabric art and more are represented — even video.

Fake Bacon celeBrates 10 years oF real improv

By Jim FisCher

Fake Bacon has seen a lot in 10 years of Columbus improv — a lot of Genghis Khan, a lot of President Obama, a lot of Segways and a lot of Shakespeare.

Popular audience suggestions for characters and modes of transportation, and a popular long-form game, have fueled the improv troupe’s work through the years (along with co-founder John Kuhn’s predisposition for planting kisses on his troupe-mates onstage), making Fake Bacon a success story on the Columbus improv scene.

“There are a ton of good improv-ers in Columbus,” Fake Bacon Co-founder Jason Sudy said, indicating that a fair number of them have been members of the ensemble, some moving on to other improv groups in town. The scene, he said, is supportive among audiences and performers (witness the friendlyyet-serious competition in the quarterly Improv Wars).

“They’re rooting for you, giving you a ton of credit,” Sudy said of audiences, who appreciate that the shows are made up on the spot. And while it may seem counterintuitive, Kuhn said making stuff up on the spot requires a lot of practice.

“You can’t just show up and do improv. If you don’t train, you’ll be like a deer in the headlights,” Kuhn said. “You need to be able to repeat a reaction consistently and be willing to allow a scene to go in any direction.”

Sudy compared improv practice to that of a sports team, during which expectations are set, relationships are built and reactions are learned.

“The trick is to be willing to go through the process,” Sudy said.

“Yeah, we make it look easy because we fucking work at it,” Kuhn said.

Sudy estimates about 20 to 25 members have been a part of Fake Bacon in the troupe’s 10 years. Four of its founding members are still with the ensemble.

As many as could be found have been invited back for the Fake Bacon 10-year Anniversary Show, set for July 30 at the Garden Theater.

“It’s mostly a celebration of the improv community, which is definitely different than when we started,” Sudy said.

Fake Bacon has come a long way since its monthly gigs at the Thirsty Ear Tavern (now Woodlands Tavern) opening for piano man Chief Johnny Lonesome. The troupe is now a regular at the Garden Theater and at Jimmy V’s in Grandview.

This is the first time CCAD fashion work has been displayed at the store.

“It’s an honor to have Macy’s want to put your work in the window,” said Suzanne Cotton, fashion design chair at CCAD. “It’s pretty crazy,” student designer Joshlynn Suber said. “The opportunity means everything. Getting your work out there and having people see your creativity and design.”

“Macy’s is delighted to showcase the great work of emerging designers at CCAD,” said Macy’s VP of Media Relations and Cause Marketing Andrea Schwartz. “We know that some of these students will one day perhaps have their own recognized labels and we’d love to be a part of their journey.”

These are chilling times. The news cycle more often than not includes stories of gun violence. The litany of incidents can make the issue more complicated to process, and often what passes for dialogue can be every bit as difficult.

But it’s a necessary dialogue, and artists in the community can help provide a foundation, through their art, for the kind of conversation that can begin to effect social change.

This process provides the backdrop for the July 30 program at Pizzuti Collection, “Social Commentary through Art and Media: A Conversation with Community Leaders on Gun Violence.” The event will not only discuss the power of artists and art to drive dialogue about social and cultural challenges, but also foster a timely discussion about gun violence.

Panelists Suzanne Roberts, president and CEO of both Unifying Solutions and Women Generating; James A. White Sr., president of Performance Consulting Services, and Sierra Austin, director of leadership and inclusion programs at YWCA Columbus, will lead the program, which is set against the backdrop of the Pizzuti Collection’s current exhibition, “Robert Beck | Robert Buck:

robert Buck’s “thirteen shooters” States of America.”

The artist’s work — installations, video, drawings, sculpture and pieces with paint on fabric — deals with a range of often interrelated topics, including early childhood development, psychology, gun violence, the American West, religion and more, and the way in which we as a society respond to these issues. Indeed, the July 30 program will be held in the gallery that houses Buck’s “Thirteen Shooters,” a collection of oversized images of young people who have perpetrated mass shootings in the U.S. “My approach is to think of art as a teaching tool,” Austin said. “To discuss how to be critical of social structures, and to have a critical conversation about gun violence, about media stories mediated by race and to serve as a method by which we can achieve understanding.”

“The biggest thing is for the community to

know that the Collection is a safe place to have these conversations,” said Education and Outreach Coordinator for Pizzuti Collection David Butler, “and to provide access to thought-provoking art and have the discourse that art engages.”

“I’ve been in the gallery and seen the work.

When I walked into the gallery, I had a visceral and traumatic response [to the art],” Austin said. “My thought is to not make the program overly structured, but to just open a dialogue and allow for the most authentic responses.

“We’re forced to process what happens in our mind when we’re presented with this type of thoughtprovoking art.”

Saturday’s show will include works by Grace Hargis, Rachel Harris, Eryn Henderson, Hannah Woods and Emily Lynch and Eliya Smith.

MINT Collective will host a three-person show in its gallery space from July 29 through Aug. 12. Work from recent Cranbrook Academy of Art graduates Chris Cox, Kara Gut and Harrison Moenich was selected following an open call for “large scale exhibition proposals,” according to MINT’s Ethan Schaefer. “Back to the Future Part II” features dynamic and arresting photography and sculptural installations. The work addresses, per the artists’ statement, “the loss of the physical and our societal migration to mediated and virtual space.”

Raise kids who love to read.

Note to Hollywood: If you want a new twist on an old trope, just flip the gender focus. And I don’t say this as a bad thing.

“Bad Moms” is a shameless crowdpleaser of a comedy that owes a debt to “man-child” comedies ranging from “Old School” to a big chunk of Judd Apatow’s filmography, only its focus isn’t responsibility-averse adult men, it’s overworked, underappreciated moms.

Amy (Mila Kunis) is the representative mother of two who struggles with juggling caring for her kids (and husband), a job with a hip coffee company and wrangling soccer practices and PTA meetings led by an overbearing supermom named Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate).

“At least once a day, I feel like the worst mom in the world,” she says in an opening voiceover. “And then I cry in my car.”

In her rebellion against the perfectionist parents of the PTA, Amy bonds with a wild divorced mom named Carla (Kathryn Hahn) and an impossibly upbeat stay-at-home mom named Kiki (Kristen Bell).

When she catches her (coincidentally man-child) husband in a cyber-affair, Amy decides she’s had enough and is going to take a break from responsible adult life and have some fun.

“Bad Moms” doesn’t tread any new water there. Amy essentially lives out

the “what if I just didn’t go into work” fantasy of “Office Space,” only also applied to making the kids breakfast and whipping up homemade cookies for the bake sale.

Other influences are pretty easy to spot. There’s a slow-mo scene of the three moms living it up in a supermarket with every ’90s hip-hop video cliché, à la The Lonely Island. The story and character dynamic also owe a lot to “Mean Girls” — a point made obvious in a scene near the end that is basically lifted from Tina Fey’s script.

And then there’s another reason for the man-child comparison I made earlier. Co-writers/directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore are the dudes who brought us “The Hangover,” although they didn’t write the inferior sequels.

Even when it’s derivative and predictable, “Bad Moms” is a blast, consistently funny and refreshingly focused on its female characters as people. It passes the Bechdel test with flying colors.

And a big chunk of the credit goes to a cast with great chemistry.

The three lead characters represent a pretty standard comedy dynamic, but the casting is perfect for Kunis’ charms, Bell’s meek comedic turn and Hahn’s brashness.

It’s downright stupid we don’t have more movies aimed at half the population, so make this one a double-feature with “Ghostbusters.”

could do a lot worse than more of the same with this series.

For starters, we get back to the lean and efficient storytelling after a relatively convoluted spinoff. The action sequences are again filled with real stunts and middle-of-the-action handheld camerawork.

Damon’s Bourne is no real shift from the norm — a mix of brooding, efficiency and explosive emotion — but this surrounding cast is stellar.

Two additions to the cast come from breakout indie roles: Alicia Vikander (“Ex Machina”) playing a CIA tech agent and Riz Ahmed (“Nightcrawler”) as the head of a social media giant who has gotten too deep in debt to the CIA. And Jones’ cold and shrewd turn as villainous CIA chief is alone worth the price of admission.

It may be more of the same, but the same is pretty damn good.

When we last left Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne in the “Bourne” series, well, he wasn’t Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne.

After three movies, Damon decided to step away from the spy-movie character he made famous, leading to a 2012 reboot, “The Bourne Legacy,” which featured Jeremy Renner in another story within the “Bourne” universe of CIA-created human weapons. It scratched the itch a bit, but fans and critics alike found it a pale comparison.

Fortunately for “Bourne” fans, Damon decided to bring his character back from the not-dead. If you’ll recall, Jason Bourne ended “The Bourne Ultimatum” the way he does all of these movies: by slipping back into the underground.

You might not recall the finer details of Bourne’s saga so far, but

fortunately that’s not much of an issue, as we are pretty quickly thrown back into a world of secret CIA programs, insane car chases and wild hand-to-hand combat.

Jason Bourne (Damon) is still putting together the pieces of the puzzle that turned him into a CIA super soldier. His former mole Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) has left the agency but is still trying to help Bourne expose the truth.

CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) is, of course, trying to thwart them. An agent known as Asset (Vincent Cassel) is trying to kill Bourne, with an added personal motivation.

Probably the biggest knock on “Jason Bourne” is the feeling that if you’ve seen one “Bourne” film, you’ve seen them all.

But with Paul Greengrass — who helmed the second and third films in the series — also back in the director’s chair, you

By BrAd Keefe This year seems like as good a time as any — and better than most — to look at how this whole society thing is going to crumble.

“Into the Forest” takes an intimate look at a prospect for the apocalypse that’s easily more plausible than zombies.

In a near-future setting, sisters Nell (Ellen Page) and Eva (Evan Rachel Wood) live in a Pacific Northwest-esque forest setting with their father. One evening, the power blinks out. It doesn’t come back on.

With only some brief radio broadcasts attributing the outage to a possible terrorist attack, the family doesn’t know what’s going on. But as time passes, it’s clear that this is going to become a tale of survival in a world without electricity, gasoline or, gasp, mobile phones.

I’ve long found this idea intriguing: modern life brought down not by aliens, but by the simple remov-

‘Into the Forest’ FInds ground In the post apocalyptIc genre

“into the Forest” Opens Friday al of amenities we take for granted.

Nell and Eva soon find themselves alone in confronting this.

Writer-director Patricia Rozema, adapting a novel by Jean Hegland, makes this a compelling world, focusing not on the mystery of what’s happening in the world at large, but how it affects just two sisters.

Page and Wood give it their all in the leads, and both perfor-

mances are solid. But the story has the sort of episodic flow typical of some book-to-screen adaptations, never finding a needed groove to stay as compelling as its opening act.

Necessary spoiler alert: The film also contains a difficult-towatch rape scene, but really, all rape scenes should be like that.

Just a warning.

ocket Produce helps put the “eat” in “healthy” and the “me” in “time.”

In deference to the busy, fuss-averse consumers for whom this Clintonville business is clearly designed, here’s a CliffsNotes-type description of Pocket Produce: a stylish, salad-centric new entry in the growing number of shops offering a nutritious alternative to conventional fast food. Pocket Produce predominantly sells hefty, straightforward salads that are fresh, filling, flavorful and, except for one with grilled salmon, cost less than $10.

southwest sunshine from Pocket Produce.

Open since early June, the little operation is sleek and smart, and its head honchos — owner and ex-social worker Natalie Appelbaum and Executive Chef Matt Walton, former executive chef at Cameron’s American Bistro — are obviously detail oriented.

From the street, the space that formerly housed Melissa’s Incredible Edibles (which moved) now greets customers with an overhead cutting board bearing the new place’s name and its logo: a crisp, graphic depiction of a fork bisecting a circular piece of leaved vegetation.

Underneath, it says: “Eat awesome. Be awesome.”

This minimalist aesthetic continues inside, where the walls are art-gallery white. Among the few decorations are live plants, buzzy culinary books from the likes of Questlove and Yotam Ottolenghi, bright bands of color adorning

the exterior of the open kitchen and three pretty pictures that include a “portrait” of one of Pocket Produce’s colorful entrée salads piled into a tall plastic container.

Seating is limited to one good-sized table and about a half-dozen stools beneath a counter, so most of the brisk business is of the grab-andgo variety. But eat-in diners can avail themselves to iced Thunderkiss coffee ($2.50), made-toorder $6 smoothies (my Mango Madness was light on mango, so I preferred the refreshing Berry Me), gratis glasses of water — filtered and chilled, of course — and plates on which to pour out and eat their salads.

All of the pre-made “whole meal” salads waiting in the cooler case are ingredient-layered like parfaits. With homemade dressings and balanced components, you can’t go wrong with any of them.

The popular Killer Cobb ($9.50) has a moderate amount of rich elements such as “65-degree”-style eggs with just-set yolks, avocado, bacon (limp), plus cubes of sharp cheddar cheese and tender grilled chicken. When combined with the prodigious greens — romaine lettuce interspersed with kale, cilantro and parsley — plus grape tomatoes, corn and the lively “golden Italian”-style dressing with a mustardy kick, it’s quite a satisfying meal.

Ditto for the Grilled Salmon Nicoise ($12.50). A similar mix of good greens (enhanced with basil) and more of those splendid eggs and grape tomatoes are joined by a few green beans and red skin potatoes. The headliner is a piece of tender, smoky and herby grill-marked salmon that seems puny at first. But after mixing everything together with the Kalamata olives and red onions (just enough), I wound up with another winning entrée. Because it had been pre-drizzled with olive oil and lemon, the salad didn’t need much of the good balsamic dressing packed in a sealed plastic cup.

By G.A. Benton When I asked Damian Ettish what inspired him to move 13,000 miles from Cape Town, South Africa to Columbus, he smiled and said, “Two things: a girl and money. I still don’t have much money, but, well, I’m working with my father-in-law here.”

“Here” was the 4th and 4th Fest, where I ran into Ettish and his father-in-law, Danny Amornyard — who owned Bangkok City near Buckeye Lake for 30 years until retiring in 2015. The friendly duo was serving festival-goers from Fetty’s Street Food, the only food truck I know of in town to offer South African cuisine.

In business a little over a month, Fetty’s — the truck shares Ettish’s nickname — generally offers a smallish menu of old Bangkok City favorites and South African fare. So if you’re looking to get your fix of General Tso’s and boerewors, Fetty’s has the hookup.

Boerewors, which means “farmer’s sausage” in the Dutchderived language of Afrikaans — one of South Africa’s 11 official languages — is traditionally made using Dutch-derived recipes.

Fetty’s version is made by the recently opened, local-focused and quality-obsessed Butcher & Grocer in Grandview.

To produce it, Butcher & Grocer uses grass-fed beef, high-grade Mangalitsa heritage pork and Ettish’s recipe. Part of that recipe is a seasoning blend Ettish developed with the pros at North Market Spices.

Black pepper was prominent in Fetty’s fresh, lean-tasting sausage ($9), which was a little sweet, a little smoky and nicely seared. The bratlike and brat-sized link arrived on a puffy hot dog roll, and was slathered with mustard, ketchup and lotsa caramelized onions. Good stuff.

I also had my first taste of another South African classic: bunny chow. Tracing the history of bunny chow turns up some interesting

information, the least controversial of which is that it has nothing to do with rabbits and everything to do with South Africa’s many immigrants from India.

Garnished with cilantro and tangy raita, Fetty’s Bunny Chow ($10) was a hulking piece of unsliced, cored-out white bread filled with chicken curry featuring a rich and zingy gravy and very tender meat. If you’ve ever had soup in a “bread bowl,” it’ll seem familiar.

With flavorful, intriguing fare such as this — and a garlic-kissed, sweetness-restrained take on General Tso’s chicken ($11, served with steamed rice) sporting a crunchy batter and gravy-like sauce — Fetty’s Street Food is off to a terrific start.

There have been some fun new additions at Old North Arcade in recent months. The arcade bar, located at 2591 N. High St., added a patio with picnic tables and new games like cornhole and giant Jenga. Patrons can also view classic films like “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” on the movie projector outside. Ohio State football games may also be shown this fall.

Then there are the new “Pokemon Go” phone-charging station and $4 Pokemon shots.

You can order a Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur — or “catch them all” for $10.

But the most significant change is the bar’s expansion into the building next door — formerly Cafe Bella — which will open to the public on Friday, July 29.

“We will be over 6,000 square [feet] once we open the new space, so we’re more than doubling our size,” said owner Ben Morgan.

The bar, walk-in cooler, office and bathrooms will remain where they are, while the new area will be a “pure, uninhibited gaming floor,” he said.

The large collection of new games includes air hockey, skee-ball, “Dance Dance Revolution” and “X-Men,” which took some effort to retrieve from the seller’s basement.

“I don’t know if the game somehow magically grew in the basement or

[if] the door shrunk, but the game was wider than the door,” Morgan said.

“We literally had to take the frame off this guy’s door to get it out.”

Customers will also have access to a “huge console-gaming lounge with every Xbox, every PlayStation, every Nintendo and all the Sega [consoles].”

While the games will serve as interesting décor, the new space itself also has a lot of character. Prior to Cafe Bella, the approximately 100-year-old building operated as Fireside Loan and Savings.

“It has the ornate, hammered-tin ceilings, marble floors … [and] it’s got these antique pumpkin bricks that we had to chisel plaster off to expose,” Morgan said.

Although he has seen great success since opening Old North Arcade last year, there were many lessons learned, espe-

cially in making business agreements.

“No matter how much you trust the person, no matter how much history you have with them, always get everything in writing,” he said.

Before he became a small-business owner, the East Side native studied psychology at Ohio State.

He also played competitive poker, during which he’d happily lose track of time — a feeling his bar patrons know all too well.

“They get a little bit of a buzz and they start playing Mario Kart, and the next thing you know it’s last call,” he said.

In the near future, Morgan will have a massive mural added to the bar’s outside wall, and he still has to figure out a use for the old bank vault in the new space.

“There’s a pinball [machine] called ‘Safe Cracker’ we were thinking about putting inside of it, but we’ll see,” he said.

FACT: In 1988, President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage bill into law.

You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover when you call AAG for more information today.

1 The aggregate value of homes owned by seniors increased their share of home equity to $5.76 trillion according to the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association. Source: http://reversemortgagedaily.com/2015/12/27/u-s-seniors-home-equity-rockets-to-5-76-trillion/. 2If you qualify and your loan is approved, a HECM Reverse Mortgage must pay off your existing mortgage(s). With a HECM/Reverse Mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). AAG works with other lenders and nancial institutions that offer reverse mortgages. To process your request for a reverse mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of reverse mortgage programs that they offer.

Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms.

interest loans. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others simply use it as a “safety net” for financial emergencies.

If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make an informed decision. Homeowners who are interested in learning more can request a free 2016 HECM Reverse Mortgage Information Kit and free Educational DVD by calling American Advisors Group toll-free at 1-(800) 841-3723.

At no cost or obligation, the professionals at AAG can help you find out if you qualify and also answer common questions such as: 1. What is the government’s role?

2. How much money might I get?

3. Who owns the home after I take out a HECM loan?

It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage loan;2 the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Another fact many are not aware of is that HECM reverse mortgages first took hold when President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into law 28 years ago in order to help senior citizens remain in their homes.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?2 EXTRA CASH?

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy their retirement.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions.

For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM reverse mortgage loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key benefit of a HECM is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who could benefit from a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard.

That’s a shame because HECM reverse mortgages are helping many senior homeowners live a better life.

In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 90% of their clients are satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners like Betty Carter, who recently took out a HECM loan with AAG so that she could finally get the extra cash she needed to fix up her house.

“With the help of AAG, I have been able to repair my home’s foundation that I had been putting off for several years, refinish the hardwood floors, paint the interior and will have the exterior painted within a few days. My house is starting to look like my home again and it feels good, says Carter.

The cash from a HECM loan can be used for any worthwhile purpose. Many people use the money to save on interest charges by paying off credit cards or other high-

aRts

It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth.

Yet, according to new data from the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 5 trillion dollars of unused home equity.1 With people now living longer than ever before and home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or “HECM” (more commonly known today as a reverse mortgage loan) to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, today, there are still millions of eligible homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”

Some homeowners think HECM loans sound “too good to be true.” After all, you get the cash you need out of your home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments.

With a reverse mortgage, no monthly mortgage payment is required. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms.
