NOPD says there’s no proof that three attacks in the St. Roch neighborhood are connected, but beating victims have no doubt they are. By Jeanie Riess
F
acebook friends told Christopher Brumfield to seek revenge on the group of kids that attacked him July 26, while he was walking down St. Roch Avenue around 9 p.m. “A lot of people react with vengeance, but I don’t believe in vengeance,” Brumfield said. “They say, ‘These kids should have been shot,’ and I’m like: No! They’re kids, they’re lost, they’re f—d up, OK? They’re kids.” The minute Brumfield saw a gang approaching with small, billy club-like wooden bats in their fists, he ran. It was no use. He says they pushed him to the ground and stomped on his face and feet, stopping only when he crawled into oncoming traffic on Claiborne Avenue, where motorists stopped to help. An anti-crime march through the neighborhood had concluded just hours before.
One night after Brumfield was attacked, Bill Murphy, another local artist and the vice president of the Faubourg St. Roch Improvement Association, was attacked on his way to buy groceries. A third resident, Michael Martin, came forward later and said he had been similarly attacked at the end of June but had not reported it. All the attacks followed the same general pattern: The men were kicked to the ground and severely beaten, and though some possessions were taken — Brumfield’s PAGE 8

But, he says, he wants to see the city of New Orleans identify the kids who need help and make sure they are getting the help they need. “I knew the dangers before and I still know the danger,” Brumfield said. “I’m still not getting a gun, and I still care about these kids. Nothing has changed. I have not changed. That’s important, because … you know, when something bad happens to you, you can’t let that make you bad.”

cellphone, Murphy’s laptop — the men’s wallets, with cash in them, were untouched. Brumfield has no doubt the attacks are related. Murphy agrees. “It’s a loose group of roughly the same people,” Murphy says. “It’s a roving mob, I would say, but it’s related, no doubt.” Murphy added that he did not believe the teenagers who attacked him were involved in the neighborhood drug trade. Drug dealers, he said, typically don’t want anything to draw attention to their profession. New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) 5th District Commander Christopher Goodly told Gambit last week that there was no proof the attacks are related, if only because there isn’t enough evidence to prove they are. “We couldn’t tell if it was the same group of individuals or a trend that was starting to happen,” Goodly said. “At this point, we don’t know if they’re related. It could be a group of kids, 10 did one of them and 10 did the other. You just don’t know.” Nevertheless, the attacks have St. Roch on edge. “Everybody’s scared,” Brumfield said. “And they’re scared in Bywater and they’re scared in Holy Cross and they’re scared in Marigny. They’re scared everywhere. [NOPD Superintendent Ronal] Serpas shows up at the crime walks and lies and then disappears again. He said the crimes weren’t related. I have no idea how he thinks he knows that. You have no suspects, you haven’t found anybody, but you think they’re unrelated. “It’s the same group of kids,” Brumfield insisted. The muggings followed other recent violent crimes, including the shooting of a man in St. Roch June 13, several attacks in the neighboring Faubourg Marigny and a shooting in the French Quarter that left one woman dead and nine other people wounded June 29. Last week, a driveby shooting in the Lower 9th Ward killed two people and severely injured two children and a man was fatally stabbed in the French Quarter. “Whenever you do something that you’re not supposed to do, that kind of gets your adrenaline racing,” said Darrell Tobias, who attended both St. Roch crime meetings. The 24-year-old recent college graduate grew up in the Upper 9th Ward. “By them not having any recreational activities in the district, I’m assuming that that’s like the highlight of their life right now. They can do these mischievous activities and get away with it, for one. They don’t know any better.”
The wave of violence inspired New Orleans District C City Councilwoman Nadine Ramsey to organize a series of community meetings in the Marigny, French Quarter, Algiers and St. Roch to address the crime issue and allow residents to voice concern and tell their stories. Serpas and Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro have been present at all of those meetings, and their responses to questions and concerns are always the same: NOPD is understaffed; Mayor Mitch Landrieu has not allocated enough money to the department to keep officers on staff; and both offices are doing all they can, and they need help from the public. Tobias agreed. “It’s starting to become overwhelming to the officers in the district,” he said. “The whole department, the NOPD, is understaffed. … I would want more help if I was an officer.” For his part, Cannizzaro has reiterated the need for people to report crimes when they happen and for residents to petition local government to invest more in fighting crime. A request for an interview with the staff of the St. Roch Tavern, located near the site of the attacks, garnered no takers. A daytime manager said no one at the bar felt comfortable talking about the crime issue. Andy Antippas, who has lived on St. Claude Avenue since 2003 and opened Barrister’s Gallery there in 2006, said when he and his wife first moved in, they hardly saw anyone walking down the street. “Now we see women with their baby carriages and people walking,” he says. “We can hear them at one, two o’clock in the morning. So I think the street has gotten a lot better, but there isn’t a single street in this city where personal vigilance is not important. It certainly is here.” As for the recent attacks, Antippas said the level of violence is unusual for the neighborhood, but it’s not necessarily new. “That sort of thing happened before in town,” he said. “I think we let our guard down,” Brumfield said. “Five years ago, I wouldn’t have walked down St. Roch at 9 o’clock at night. I just wouldn’t have. “You always know things can happen, and you hope it doesn’t happen.”
of the troubled kids,” he said. “If we don’t get these kids now, if we don’t deal with these problems, if we don’t do psychological evaluations on them and figure out what’s going on and get them therapy and get them in groups and get them functioning, then they’re just going to get killed or end up in prison. That’s not what we want.” Brumfield said New Orleans children need city-sponsored summer camps. “And they need social workers at those summer camps, talking to kids, identifying kids who are doing violence, finding the kids that are at risk for violence, and finding the kids who are being beaten at home and finding the kids who are being molested at home,” he said. “There’s two reasons: not just protecting us, protecting them. They deserve amazing summers. They deserve all of that, I believe.” Last week, NOPD’s 5th District released a security camera video of what was termed a “simple robbery” at the corner of St. Roch and Claiborne Avenue on July 26 “at or around 10 p.m.” — the time Brumfield was attacked. At the monthly Faubourg St. Roch Improvement Association’s Aug. 14 meeting, Goodly said simple robbery is defined as the taking of a person’s belongings using force or intimidation. That’s currently how both cases are categorized, since the bats used to beat Brumfield aren’t necessarily considered “dangerous weapons,” Goodly said. Still, the district attorney’s office could change that charge. Brumfield thinks the police downplayed or ignored the attack, at least initially. “To be very clear, the reason why this blew up is because I have a lot of friends and I was mad and it went viral [on Facebook],” he said. “The police did not issue a statement. The police had not done anything until it went viral.” As of Aug. 15, the NOPD had made no arrests in the case, though Goodly said at the Aug. 14 meeting police had a list of suspects and were hoping for more witnesses and community members to come forward.
Brumfield said one of his attackers was a student at one of the schools he has worked in since Hurricane Katrina. Though he never taught the boy, Brumfield said the student had a reputation. “I remember him as one

The Jindal edition (again)
“I think it’s been an embarrassment to him, the district and the state. I won’t be endorsing him, if that’s what you’re about to ask.” — Gov. Bobby Jindal on U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister, the “Kissing Congressman,” who in April announced he would not run for re-election to Louisiana’s 5th Congressional District seat, only to change his mind in June. Jindal was appearing at the Iowa State Fair during one of his frequent out-of-state trips to stump for Republicans (and increase his own visibility). As for McAllister, he seemed unconcerned. “Tell the governor I said ‘Thank you,’” he told Gannett Louisiana. “I think the people of the 5th District are tired of Washington and Baton Rouge politicians trying to dictate their leaders.”

NEWS VIEWS SCUTTLEBUTT announced his intention Aug. 12 with the unveiling of a campaign website and online ad titled “A Stronger Louisiana.” Young joins a roster of already-announced candidates that includes Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden and state Sen. Elbert Guillory, R-Opelousas. Young was elected parish president in a special election in 2010 after sitting on the Jefferson Parish Council. Scott McKay of the Baton Rouge political website The Hayride (who has endorsed Guillory) wrote that Young’s experience and campaign chest will make him an immediate frontrunner. McKay also noted, “Historically, being president of Jefferson Parish has been a better qualifier for federal prison than statewide office.” Young’s most recent campaign finance report (which was filed in January and covers the year 2013) showed him with $1,494,781 on hand. He’ll surely add to that with what his election committee calls its “campaign kickoff” — a $1,000-per-head party Aug. 27 at the Martine Chaisson Gallery in the Warehouse District. — KEVIN ALLMAN
Uber vote now Sept. 4 — well, maybe
The New Orleans City Council had yet another installment of the vehicle for-hire debate Aug. 14, with taxicab industry lobbyists dressed in bright green T-shirts and Uber advocates sporting black. A few minutes into the meeting, though, the council decided to defer a vote on proposed revisions to the city’s ground transportation ordinance until its next meeting on Sept. 4. District E Councilman James Gray made the motion to defer, citing the many amendments to the legislation that still required votes. That includes Councilman-at-Large Jason Williams’ amendment to decrease the minimum fare on luxury sedan rides from $25 to $15 — a move Uber has been pushing. In addition to the amendments, District D Councilman Jared Brossett introduced two new ordinances dealing with ground transportation regulations. The first would set up new regulations for limousines and luxury sedans and the second addresses illegal for-hire operations, namely ride-sharing, and stiffens penalties.
Cracking down on ATVs Action prompted by ATV hitand-run death in Treme
The New Orleans City Council opened its Aug. 14 meeting by addressing four-wheel all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on city streets. New Orleans cops will begin cracking down on ATVs, which lawmen stressed are not “street legal” in New Orleans. City Council president Stacy Head stressed that NOPD will begin seizing ATVs on the street. Head also said she sent a letter to the Louisiana State Police (LSP) requesting more state trooper presence on local stretches of Interstate 10 (particularly to control ATVs), but has yet to receive a response from LSP. The presentation followed a July 27 fatal hit-and-run outside Kermit’s Treme Mother-in-Law Lounge where an ATV struck Daphne Cola. Doctors took her off life support nine days later.

Council to consider new hail-acar regulations
“I would like to move that we wait until we have a consolidated total plan in place to vote on the whole thing at one time, rather than doing it piecemeal, as it appears that we’re going to have to do,” Gray said, adding that he knew Uber would ultimately come to New Orleans — the questions were when and how. Council President Stacy Head debated the motion to defer. “The concept of technology-based apps for transportation is something that is happening around the world,” she said, “and it is incumbent upon us to be nimble enough to embrace it and do it in a way that is healthy for our city.” The proposed legislation does not specifically address Uber’s luxury car service Uber Black, but rather hail-a-car app technology in general — which would allow Uber Black to enter the New Orleans market. The proposal also addresses the rate system of for-hire vehicles, which is a sensitive topic for the local taxi industry. New Orleans taxi companies, like cab companies elsewhere, have fiercely opposed opening the market to hail-a-cab apps. The taxi companies say the proposal allows unfair competition because regulated taxicabs have to meet regulatory standards that hail-a-cab apps do not. — JEANIE RIESS

Mayor’s press secretary moved to NOPD, at least for now
The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) has been without a public information officer (PIO) since Remi Braden left last April. The city finally advertised to fill the position in July, but after last week’s embarrassing NOPD snafu during which an officer shot a man during a traffic stop but the department failed to notify the public, a quick switch was made. NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas said a press release about the officer-involved shooting had been drafted but had not gone out. Tyler Gamble, who has served as Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s press secretary, was made acting PIO for the NOPD. Garnesha Crawford, Landrieu’s director of communications, now becomes the mayor’s point person for the press. — KEVIN ALLMAN

State to lose $15.8 billion over 10 years
With his opposition to Medicaid expansion in Louisiana, Gov. Bobby Jindal will make the state lose out on $15.8 billion in federal reimbursements over the next decade, according to a report this month from the Urban Institute supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. States that have not expanded Medicaid will cause 6.7 million people to remain uninsured in 2016, according to the report, which also found that for every dollar spent to support Medicaid, a state would receive $13.41 in federal funding. Hospitals also stand to lose out on $167.8 billion in federal reimbursements from 2013 to 2022, according to the report. — ALEX WOODWARD

COMMENTARY
thinking out loud
Mental health resources n 1965, Simon and Garfunkel recorded “Richard Cory,” which was based on a 19th-century poem of the same name by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Both the poem and the song were about a man who was rich, handsome, successful and kind, the envy of all who knew him — and both ended with the same line: “And Richard Cory, one calm summer night / Went home and put a bullet through his head.” Richard Cory comes to mind, of course, after last week’s suicide of comedian and actor Robin Williams. Williams was loved by generations of people for his brilliant standup, situation comedy and film work, both comedic and dramatic. He was admired for raising millions of dollars for charity through Comic Relief and for many years of tours entertaining American troops overseas. By all accounts, he
psychiatric resources were slashed statewide. In 2009, Gov. Bobby Jindal closed New Orleans Adolescent Hospital (NOAH) as a cost-cutting move, and Alan Levine, then state secretary of health, said beds would be added to Southeast Louisiana Hospital (SELH) in Mandeville. In 2012, Jindal closed SELH — without even notifying his Northshore legislative allies or other public officials in that area — leaving southeast Louisiana without a public mental health facility. The closure also cost St. Tammany Parish hundreds of well-paying jobs. According to the American Association of Suicidology, an organization that tracks suicide in hopes of preventing it, Louisiana has a lower suicide rate than the nation as a whole. But the parish with the highest suicide rate in the state is also one of the wealthiest: St. Tammany.

was a kind and unpretentious man with a preternatural ability to make others laugh. According to his wife, he also was battling a recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (which had not been made public), longstanding bouts of depression and addiction, and money troubles. Williams had every tool at his disposal to battle his lifelong depression, from friends and family to money and the best doctors. Still, it wasn’t enough. And what of the millions of lesser-known people who don’t have those resources? In the years after Hurricane Katrina and the levee failures, previously healthy Louisianans showed signs of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Many battled depression — and some continue to do so. The same sad fate happened to many coastal residents after the 2010 BP oil disaster, when those who live and work along the Gulf of Mexico dealt with a tragedy that upended their lives. Now try to imagine the effect those disasters would have on someone who was already suffering from severe depression or bipolar disorder. “Imagine living through this post-storm nightmare, trying to rebuild, with the stifling symptoms of severe mental illness,” Cecile Tebo, then-Crisis Unit coordinator for the New Orleans Police Department, told Gambit in 2007. “Without strong emotional wellness, that experience is pushing otherwise ‘normal’ people over the edge, and their symptoms of depression, mania and psychosis are putting themselves and the community at risk.” Sadly, and infuriatingly, just as mental health statistics spiked across Louisiana,
If bipolar disease or depression affects you or someone you know, help is available. Here are some area resources: • The United Way of Southeast Louisiana recommends those in its seven-parish service area call 2-1-1 staffed by VIALINK, which can put you in touch with mental health professionals or crisis counselors. • If you or someone you know is in a behavioral health crisis, call the Metropolitan Crisis Response Team at (504) 8262675. This resource is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week in Orleans, Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes. • Individuals in crisis in Jefferson Parish can call (504) 832-5123. • Baton Rouge’s Crisis Intervention Center is staffed around the clock with trained counselors. Call (225) 924-3900, or 1-800-437-0303. • Help is also available for residents of many other Louisiana parishes. A list of hotlines and help numbers is available at www.suicide.org. • The National Suicide Prevention help line at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) will connect you to a trained counselor in your area 24 hours a day. Depression isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s not something to be waited out, toughed out or dismissed. Louisiana’s (and America’s) mental health system is nowhere near where it needs to be, but there is help out there. Robin Williams was a uniquely gifted performer with a strong humanitarian streak. If anything at all good could come out of the tragedy that ended his life, we hope it will be to inspire someone, somewhere to get help before it’s too late.

The Year of the Artful Codger? p to now, it’s been all talk. Now it’s time to see who’s ready to play. No, I’m not talking about the NFL preseason. I’m talking about qualifying to run for everything from U.S. senator to Jefferson Parish School Board. Qualifying is Wednesday through Friday (Aug. 20-22). Louisiana’s U.S. Senate contest will top the November ballot. Incumbent Democrat Mary Landrieu has the toughest race of her career. She faces not only the full force of the local and national GOP but also a phalanx of “independent” super-PACs with unlimited budgets. By the Nov. 4 primary election, Landrieu’s opposition could spend $15 million trying to defeat her, maybe more. All six Louisiana Congress members also must stand for re-election in November. Some are likely to be unopposed or face only minor opposition. Individual congressional races rarely draw national attention, but one Louisiana contest already has garnered scads of national press — former Gov. Edwin W. Edwards’ bid, at the age of 87, to win the 6th District seat being vacated by
Down the ballot, some local races will be just as volatile as Landrieu’s. Any incumbent who draws a well-financed opponent could be vulnerable. All district attorneys and district judges are up for re-election, though most will win new terms without opposition. Not so on the Northshore, where veteran DA Walter Reed has wisely chosen to retire amid a federal investigation. The race to succeed him will be one to watch. Ditto for the special election in state House District 97 to succeed former state Rep. Jared Brossett, who recently was elected to the New Orleans City Council. All eyes are on state Sen. Ed Murray, D-New Orleans, who is term limited in the Senate and is being urged to run for his old House seat. If Murray doesn’t run this time, he’s expected to run in 2015. Business folks in Jefferson Parish are preparing for a fight to keep “reform” school board members in place. The business-backed board members are expected to face challengers backed by the teachers union. Elsewhere in Jefferson (and in parts of New Orleans), Public
Any incumbent who draws a wellfinanced opponent could be vulnerable. Service Commissioner Eric Skrmetta is up for re-election. Some electoral skirmishes could come right after qualifying. A new state law says constables over the age of 70 cannot seek re-election. Many plan to run anyway, and they could be challenged in court. New Orleans First City Court Constable Lambert Boissiere Jr., 71, says the new law doesn’t apply to him because his position is governed by a separate state statute, which was not amended. Meanwhile, Criminal District Court Judge Frank Marullo, who is the state’s longest-serving judge, plans to run again even though he is past the mandatory retirement age of 70. Marullo, too, says the current retirement rule doesn’t apply to him; he was elected before the 1974 Louisiana Constitution lowered the retirement age to 70. The law notwithstanding, Boissiere and Marullo look like spring chickens compared to Edwards. Who knows, in contrast to the recent citywide elections that saw younger challengers prevail, this could be The Year of the Artful Codger.

U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, who is Landrieu’s main opponent. The Silver Zipper leads all pre-qualifying polls, though few believe he can win a Dec. 6 runoff. Don’t sell the old buzzard short. If he draws the right (or wrong, depending on your point of view) GOP opponent, he might defy the odds once again. If EWE does go back to Congress (he served from 1965 to 1972), I doubt he would embarrass Louisiana any more than Vance McAllister in Louisiana’s 5th District. “The kissing congressman” changed his mind about not running again after he was caught on video in a passionate embrace with a staffer, who, like McAllister, is married. McAllister faces a passel of opponents and, like Edwards, is probably a cinch to make the runoff. In addition to being good news copy, contested congressional races will drive up turnout, which many see as good for Landrieu. A December runoff, possibly with control of the U.S. Senate hanging in the balance, would be a windfall for Louisiana’s media, but not necessarily for its senior senator.

Late Show With David Letterman and Conan, while Rolling Stone and Spin have declared him a best new artist — all before his debut album even was released. The self-titled album is out Aug. 19. “Everything that happened has been a first,” Booker says. “It’s too many firsts at one time. There’s no time to think about it or worry about what’s happening or be scared too much, because you have to do it.” Booker grew up in a military family in Virginia Beach, Virginia. After his dad retired from the Navy, the family moved to Florida, where Booker lived for 12 years. He was a selfdescribed skate kid, and he discovered punk rock at Tampa’s Transitions Art Gallery, a warehouse space attached to the Skatepark of Tampa. “A bunch of kids from my school in punk bands would play there regularly,” Booker says. “I tried to go as much as I could. It wasn’t difficult to find at all. It seemed like everybody

It’s one of those Saturdays in New Orleans that arrive only in late summer, when the clouds are dark and heavy and it’s almost too hot to rain. Before he flies to Los Angeles to begin a tour with no end in sight, Benjamin Booker is indoors and catching up with his queue. After tomorrow, there are no weekends. “We were on the road for a few weeks. We just got back for a few days,” he says. “To be honest, dude, I don’t know the full schedule. It’s hard to keep track of where you’re going to be and when.” This is a new routine for the 25-yearold singer-songwriter, whose spring from candlelit acoustic gigs upstairs at Mimi’s in the Marigny to Jack White’s opening act took less than two years.

At HandsOn, Booker kept the radio dialed to WWOZ-FM, his library of a previously unheard, undiscovered world of blues, R&B and rock ’n’ roll. “The stuff they play on WWOZ is the stuff you would never hear anywhere else,” he says. “In Florida it’s usually local, regional one-hit wonders. Hearing that kind of stuff, combined with punk, it’s like, ‘Oh, this makes so much sense. I should do this.’” Booker scrapped together a handful of songs and recorded acoustic demos in his parents’ bathroom during a visit to Florida. He quietly self-released the four-track EP Waiting Ones — low-fi blues-influenced folkpunk recordings of blown-out acoustic guitar and handclap percussion, all backing Booker’s howling, smoke whisper vocals inspired by Robert Johnson. “Have You Seen My Son” — on which Booker sings, “all the way from Florida, down I came to New Orleans / I said God must love everyone even the ones the church loves the least” — sneaked onto Sirius FM radio after the popular music blog Aquarium Drunkard picked up the track. Booker had yet to play a gig. “The stress of coming and working for a nonprofit here, handling phone calls with people trying to get in their houses, like, ‘Sorry, you have to be on a waiting list,’ that stuff every day — I dunno. It’s a lot all at the same time,” Booker says. “But it also made me a stronger person. I don’t know if I’d be able to do the music thing if I didn’t have that year. I was really putting it all in and trying to do the nonprofit New Orleans thing.”

I knew was going there all the time, either playing or watching shows or hanging out.” When he was 14, Booker received a guitar for Christmas. “I liked playing, I just didn’t feel confident enough to take it out and play in front of people,” he says. “I was just making stuff up and learning other people’s songs and just learning to play guitar. I didn’t really write any songs. When I was 19 I wrote the words to a couple songs, and maybe had parts of songs. I just never felt an urge to write.” In 2012, Booker finished college at the University of Florida in Gainesville, where punk fans have carved a scene severed from the college town. Gainesville is home to No Idea Records and its annual punk festival The Fest, when the crustiest, sweatiest bands take over while the town empties out during the Halloween weekend football game between the University of Florida and the University of Georgia. (“It’s fun, but it’s a little out of control,” Booker says.) Booker was looking for work. He was tired of restaurant jobs and was hoping for a ticket out of town. He found a job at the nonprofit organization HandsOn New Orleans. “I was like, ‘Yes, I really need to get out of Florida.’ New Orleans was in the South, wasn’t too far away from friends and family, so I thought, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll try that,’” he says. “It was a huge crash course in the city. The nature of the job was going to police meetings, City Hall meetings, meetings in schools, working on community gardens, running around town and meeting a bunch of people — seeing all these parts of the city and how they work together. It was hard to just do that and leave.”
Booker had only six days booked to record his debut album. It was December 2013, the holidays were around the corner, and several months of touring were booked after the New Year. “After I quit my job, there was like a month going into recording where I could just work on the songs,” he says. “I had thought the whole time I was going to add parts and do a bunch of stuff and I ended up not doing that at all. Every time I would add something and make it more complicated, it seemed wrong.” Andrija Tokic (who helmed Hurray for the Riff Raff’s acclaimed ATO Records debut Small Town Heroes) produced Booker’s album. Tokic and Booker agreed what shouldn’t be on the album — no frills, no overly produced overdubs — but the songs remained as they did onstage. The band recorded live. “We just wanted to hit record and play,” Booker says. “I had written half the songs in Gainesville and half here. There’s a little bit of a difference in the songs I wrote here. I was working a lot and listening to the radio and listening to WWOZ and hearing a lot of the rhythm and blues stuff they were playing and the turn-ofthe-century and ’20s and ’30s stuff working its way into the songwriting.” Booker parrots Chuck Berry on the opening riff of album opener “Violent Shiver,” immediately recognizable as the album’s breakout single and a track that earned Booker a slot on Rolling Stone’s list of “artists you need to know.” Booker’s voice is raw, trying to climb out and shout and stay in control, from the spare “Spoon Out My Eyeballs,” as it erupts into a soulful, organ-churning gospel and finds its groove as a foot-stomping New Orleans street folktale (“It’s getting harder to be real,” he sings) to the nose-diving, forward march that

Sam Doores of the New Orleans band The Deslondes invited Booker to sing alongside Doores and Hurray for the Riff Raff’s Alynda Lee Segarra at a show at Mimi’s. “When I saw Alynda play, it was like, coming from Florida where it’s punk and a little sloppier, it was like, ‘I can’t believe she’s not signed to a label. She’s so good.’” Booker says. “This was the first place I’d ever played a show. I started playing here, and the people and music community were very nice to me, even though I was clearly just starting off. They kept offering me shows, you know? Like, ‘Why don’t you open for us here, open for me there?’ It was nice to be brought in so easily.” Booker spent the next year playing his songs at shows around town. “It was just acoustic stuff,” he says. “I didn’t enjoy playing acoustic. I wanted people dancing and having a good time.” In 2013, Booker went back to Tampa, briefly, to begin what would become his electric ensemble. He met drummer Max Norton and the pair formed the glorified garagegospel duo named Booker & Norton — named 2013’s Best New Band by Creative Loafing in Tampa. In October, Jon Salter of ATO Records — home of Hurray for the Riff Raff as well as My Morning Jacket, Alabama Shakes and Drive-By Truckers — flew down to catch a show at Tampa’s New World Brewery. “I was really interested in ATO because they had Hurray for the Riff Raff already from New Orleans,” Booker says. “It seemed like a family kind of vibe, the label, and it is.” Booker signed a record deal in the parking lot.

sounds like The Strokes’ doing Bruce Springsteen on “Old Hearts.” But Booker still is the skateboarding punk kid playing fuzzed out, speaker-busting riffs halfway through “Chippewa,” which locks into a Booker T. & the MG’s groove before Booker unleashes his inner Dinosaur Jr. The album’s centerpiece is a fleshed-out and cleaned up “Have You Seen My Son,” no longer the rusty blues track recorded on a laptop. “It’s still the most representative song of what I want to do,” Booker says, “that mixture of punk and gospel and R&B and all these things I grew up listening to.”

Things were moving fast, to say the least. As a trio (Booker on guitar, Norton on drums and Alex Spoto on bass), the band’s tour started in early 2014 with crowds in the low double digits. Then there was South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, where the group played in front of 1,000 people. Then Jack White called. “I was in New York and they told me, ‘You’re opening for Jack White,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll take it.’” Booker says, laughing. “‘Yeah, let me think about it.’ … It was a big deal to go on tour. It’s a big deal to go on a Jack White tour.” Booker joined White’s tour in July, after opening for Drive-By Truckers at the Civic Theatre during the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. In Chicago, White invited Booker onstage for a guitar duel on the finale, a cover of Leadbelly’s “Goodnight, Irene.” “We’ve just jumped into it,” Booker says. “For a while there was this pressure, kind of, when you start playing bigger shows, to change the set, to make it more stable, you know,
more static, and make it easier. I feel we’ve gone in the opposite direction, especially touring with Jack. You realize it’s so much more fun when you take risks during shows for larger crowds. We have gone back to that, just playing shows like we did when we were in smaller rooms we used to play.” Booker made Billboard headlines at the Newport Folk Festival where his show was dubbed one of the festival’s 10 best performances. At Lollapalooza, Booker tossed his ripped-to-shreds guitar into the crowd. This month, he headlines FYF Festival in Los Angeles, and in September he performs across the U.K. In October, Booker plays at Austin City Limits. His whirlwind four-month tour wraps Nov. 1, when he performs at the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans. He shivers at the thought of having to follow up the full-tilt circus — writing, recording, touring, press — with no time to slow down. “There’s still 18 months before I can even start to think about that stuff,” he says. “I’m still making changes to songs on the record. None of them live are the same as they are on the record. You just start playing them and change things. If I get an idea, I’ll record something or write it down, but it’s more about perfecting, or making the songs we have now better.” For now, he’s getting used to life in New Orleans while adjusting to life on the road. “The year I came here, it was kind of hard for me, I guess, to adjust at first because it was so different,” Booker says. “Now I feel I’ve adjusted. I was gone for a few months, and it was really difficult to go somewhere else.”

Middle of the Marigny
Horn’s, in the old La Peniche space, is a visual improvement — but much of the menu needs a similar makeover. By Sarah Baird
Cuban is a properly zippy sandwich, with a juicy, Dagwood-like stack of pork and ham with tangy, house-made Creole mustard that adds an unexpected — but welcome — punch of heat. The hot sausage sandwich features sausage made in house, which is appropriately plump and juicy. The discrepancy in quality between dishes with ingredients that are made in house and those trucked in is glaringly obvious; unfortunately, the latter largely outnumber the former. Patrons order diner classics at Horn’s. Dinner at Horn’s is underwhelmP H O T O BY C H ER Y L G ER B ER ing at best, with prices that are far too steep for what arrives on the plate.

Herbsaint (701 St. Charles Ave., 504524-4114; www.herbsaint.com) is closed Aug. 17 through Aug. 27 for remodeling. Chef Donald Link’s flagship restaurant has collected numerous awards and helped Link win a James Beard Foundation Best Chef South award in 2007.

The Bombay Club (830 Conti St., 504586-0972; www.thebombayclub.com) is moving to a larger space Sept. 1. The martini bar will leave its longtime home in the Prince Conti Hotel (830 Conti St., 888-626-4319; www.princecontihotel.com) for the Chateau LeMoyne (301 Dauphine St., 504-581-1303; www. hiclneworleans.com), which previously only offered a breakfast program and bar service at night. “The new space is amazing, and we’re renovating it to have the same feel that the club has now,” says manager Andrew Gross. “We’re building a whole new entrance off of Dauphine [Street] and working closely with the Chateau LeMoyne to coordinate with their needs.” The new space offers the Bombay Club the opportunity to expand its services and reach. “(Chateau LeMoyne has) an amazing wedding and banquet space, as well as a courtyard that’s gorgeous, but for so long, people would have their wedding at the hotel and go somewhere else for a reception,” Gross says. “We’re hoping we’ll be able to entice them to stay.” The Bombay Club will close the last week of August.

here are an ever-increasing number of reasons for visitors to wander downriver from the French Quarter and into the winding streets of the Faubourg Marigny, where a burgeoning dining scene and ample architectural eye candy make for a fine day of lollygagging. While block after block of charming shotguns and quirky eateries fits the bill for some, the area has lacked a solid dining option for visitors looking to get a taste of classic New Orleans comfort cooking. Horn’s — a new effort from the owner of the magnetizing Uptown diner Slim Goodies — has thrown its hat into the ring in an attempt to be a downtown destination for these old-line classics. Located in the former La Peniche space, Horn’s has succeeded in taking a cramped, dated dining room and morphing it into an open area that feels like a hip urban hunting lodge. The rustic wooden floors and wood-paneled walls are lined with horned animal skulls (get it?) and family photos that make diners feel they might really be in someone’s bayou cabin. The service at Horn’s teeters between aloof and smothering, with the glib, casual attitude of the dining staff occasionally resulting in lengthy wait times. Horn’s serves breakfast, lunch and dinner — a feat that’s difficult to pull off if your restaurant’s vision isn’t crystal clear. Diners succeed at this because they understand that efficiency and rapid turnover are paramount and that prices should be reasonable. More formal restaurants operate under the assumption that a smaller menu means a greater deal of time to refine dishes. Horn’s seems to have a muddled picture of what it’s trying to accomplish, serving three rounds of meals a day with varying degrees of success. Breakfast options at Horn’s are largely holdovers from the Slim Goodies menu, with the same range of griddle top standards with punchy names. The Guatemalan is still a southof-the-border twist on eggs accompanied with chewy, sweet plantains. The pecan waffle (called “heaven” on the menu) arrives dense and doughy, with a spray of canned whipped cream and lackluster sliced strawberries. Sweet potato pancakes (a Slim Goodies favorite) still pack the sweet and subtlely spicy flavor as their Uptown counterpart. It’s disappointing, though, that given a chance to reimagine a more diverse range of morning-appropriate dishes, Horn’s simply rehashed the familiar. Lunchtime plates and sandwiches are the restaurant’s most solid offerings, and perhaps the only dishes worth seeking out. The Creole

“We’re going to be carrying over what we’re doing currently — basically picking it up and dropping it down,” Gross says. “Bombay is known as a martini and jazz bar, but we’re going to be making our cocktail menu a little fresher. Our chef is excited because the broom closet at the new space is bigger than the entire kitchen facility we have at the old space.” — SARAH BAIRD
Mr. Ed’s now serving in the French Quarter
Summer isn’t peak oyster season, but that didn’t stop Mr. Ed’s Oyster Bar and Fish House (512 Bienville St., 504-309-4848) from opening recently. The new French Quarter restaurant is located just off the bustle of Decatur Street and is decked out in red and blue neon, with a warm diner feel and plenty of seating at the counter. The menu features standard fish house fare, including Cajun crawfish pasta, a stuffed crab dinner and fried oyster salad. The oyster bar serves oysters a number of unusual ways, including Bienville-style (topped with shrimp, green onions and mushrooms) and Southwest-style (char-broiled and topped with jalapenos). The restaurant’s namesake, Ed McIntyre, operates another Mr. Ed’s Oyster Bar and Fish House (3117 21st St., Metairie, 504-833-6310), as well as the steakhouse Austin’s (5101 W.

Bartist’s portraits
What makes a bar feel like a second home? Artist John Tebeau (www. tebeau.com) took this question to heart with his Great Good Places series, which features original illustrations of bars inspired by the thought that the best place to drink is one that pulls together a community and seems like a home away from home. After tackling Brooklyn and Manhattan, Tebeau turned his attention to New Orleans, where he spends a significant amount of time. The series debuted at Preservation Hall (726 St. Peter St., 504-522-2841; www.preservationhall.com) during Tales of the Cocktail (www.talesofthecocktail.com), and features renderings of New Orleans favorites including Erin Rose (811 Conti St., 504-522-3573; www.erinrosebar.com), The Country Club (634 Louisa St., 504-945-0742; www.thecountryclubneworleans.com), Parasol’s (2533 Constance St., 504-302-1543; www.parasolsbarandrestaurant.com), Molly’s at the Market (1107 Decatur St., 504-525-5169; www. mollysatthemarket.com) and Buffa’s (1001 Esplanade Ave., 504-949-0038; www.buffasbar.com). “My favorite Great Good Place in New Orleans? I have to go with Parasol’s,” Tebeau says. “Not that I don’t love them all, but when we are in New Orleans, Parasol’s is our local. That’s where the bartender — and even the bar owner — knows us best. That’s the place we feel most at home, because it’s right there in the neighborhood and we’re there two or three times a week. Plus, those po-boys.” — SARAH BAIRD

3-COURSE interview
Dan Stein Store owner/ beer aficionado
Dan Stein is the owner and namesake of Stein’s Market & Deli (2207 Magazine St., 504-527-0771; www. steinsdeli.net), a sandwich, beer and sundries shop in the Lower Garden District. Stein spoke with Gambit about the store and its expanding beer program.

(between Cleary Ave & Clearview) Mon-Tues 11-3 • Wed-Thurs 11-7:30 Fri 11-8:30 • Sat 11-8:00 www.parranspoboys.com
What’s the Stein’s origin story?
Stein: After law school, I got a job working at the Court of Appeals here for three years, then I quit and went up north when I decided I didn’t like practicing law. I ran a cheese store for a couple of months while I was up there, then it shut down, so I moved back down to New Orleans. I wanted to open up my own store then, but I wasn’t ready. I worked at Whole Foods (Market) for a while — couldn’t stand it — so I ended up at Martin Wine Cellar, where I stayed for a couple of years. After (Hurricane) Katrina, I moved back (from Philadelphia) and about a year and a half later found a space and opened Stein’s.
Stein’s has an ever-expanding beer program. What beers are you most excited about right now?
A video you released recently has gone pretty viral. What’s the back story?
S: When I moved back up to Philly about a month before Katrina, this woman who worked with me at Martin Wine Cellar also moved up to do a bunch of internships involving film things. She started working on this Dating on Demand show and asked me to interview for it. I was like, “I don’t know ...” but I interviewed for it. She finagled me onto this dating show and then quit two days later. It was too late for me to back out then, so I was on the show. I went on this stupid date. Strangely enough, her brother James, who I call “Baby James,” ended up being one of my first employees at Stein’s and has been with me on and off for seven years. My social media presence lately has just been a relentless bludgeoning of my image and my reputation, so I thought, “Why not up the ante a little bit?” I showed James the video and said, “Why don’t we put it on the Internet?” So he went through NOVAC (New Orleans Video Access Center) and got it converted and out there. I don’t know what you can really do as an encore to that video. At this point, I run the deli and make certain decisions there — run the register, fix the AC like I did today — but really I’m just here for your entertainment. — SARAH BAIRD

S: When I went to work at Whole Foods, I worked at the one on Esplanade (Avenue) that’s no longer there. I wanted to do cheese, and it was great but didn’t really take up that much time. I had to have other responsibilities in the department and one of them was beer, coffee and wine. I started putting away the beers, started reading about the beers, started taking the beers home and started drinking the beers, so I taught myself a lot about them. It’s strange in New Orleans, because even when fall beers are coming out, it’s the hottest it’s ever been. We’re getting in the first batch of pumpkin beers, though: (Wychwood Brewery Company) Pumpking, Crown Valley (Imperial Pumpkin Smash) and (Southern Tier Brewing) Warlock. My favorite beer depends on my mood and who I’m drinking with, but if I’m by myself I like a nice little hoppy session — not too heavy, an IPA or something that doesn’t go above 6 or 7 percent alcohol. The beer classes we’ve taught have been good; everyone seems to enjoy them. They really teach people about beer and help them feel more comfortable about what they like and their future selections. We’ve never really gone above an intro class, but we do riffs on themes sometimes with classes — sour beers, stinky beers or funky beers.

BEER buzz The New Orleans episode of Esquire Network’s Brew Dogs (www.tv.esquire.com/ shows/brew-dogs) airs Aug. 20 and features the Crescent City as the destination that Scottish “extreme” traveling brewers James Watt and Martin Dickie visit to take in the local culture. Prior to filming, the producers reached out to several breweries to get a feel for the scene. Leith Adams, co-founder of Mudbug Brewing in Thibodaux, says he received a call, but since his brewery is not up and running yet, he was unable to participate. Bayou Teche’s Karlos Knott says, “The producers wanted a list of our favorite beers and a sampling list of the best beers brewed by all the other Louisiana breweries.” Knott also had the opportunity to film a food pairing segment with Watt and Dickie at Ste. Marie (now Meauxbar). “The idea for the segment was for me to pick three of our beers, while James and Martin picked three to compete with little ol’ Bayou Teche,” Knott says. “I was nervous, I did not want to lose, and let me tell you James and Martin took it very serious — what you won’t see on the show is all of the smack talking coming from those two between courses. It was brutal!” The concept for every Brew Dogs episode is conceptualizing a beer that represents the host city and is brewed in the most off-the-wall way possible. Producers reached out to NOLA Brewing’s Derek Lintern to plot New Orleans’ beer, details of which are supposed to be kept under wraps until the show airs. The night that Brew Dogs filmed the unveiling of the beer, Lintern told the crowd assembled to taste the collaboration that when the crew showed up on the bayou in Larose to brew, “I saw two airboats: The one with the brewing setup didn’t scare me,” he said. “It was the one with the water filtration system.” NOLA Brewing hosts a viewing party with promotional items, beer and barbecue at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 20. — NORA McGUNNIGLE Email Nora McGunnigle at nora@nolabeerblog.com
WINE of the week 2013 Aime Roquesante Rose
COTES DE PROVENCE, FRANCE RETAIL $11
Provence extends along the Mediterranean coast in southeastern France. Vineyards bask in sunlight during the long, dry summers, providing ideal conditions for fruit development. Of the few appellations in the region, Cotes de Provence is the largest with more than 50,000 acres, 85 percent of which are planted for the production of rose wines. Fruit for this wine comes from the vineyards in Vidauban along the banks of the Argens river. Aime Roquesante, a modern winery respectful of traditional processes, blends Provence’s predominant grapes: cinsault, grenache and syrah. The distinctive bottle, a curvy shape known as a skittle, sets off the pretty color of the wine. On the nose, the wine offers aromas of fresh strawberry and hints of peach. On the palate, taste watermelon, young red berries, citrus and stony minerality on the crisp finish. Drink it as an aperitif or with hors d’oeuvres such as smoked salmon or pate, salads, seafood, fried chicken, barbecue, Asian cuisines, fruit and soft cheeses. Buy it at: Dorignac’s. — BRENDA MAITLAND Email Brenda Maitland at winediva1@bellsouth.net

Artists in The Distillery’s pilot residency program present works in progress. By Will Coviello
A
pieces since arriving in New Orleans, though she studied physical theater in Paris. Past work included a piece about aviator Amelia Earhart that she presented at Philadelphia’s Fringe Festival. The Distillery doesn’t require that artists complete a project by the end of the program. It’s more focused on process. Mercado-Narcisse expects to have 90 minutes of material developed by the end of September. She’ll then whittle it down to a 45-minute polished production. Nealand is doing a lot of reading in the preliminary stages of development. “I don’t need a lot of feedback yet,” Nealand says. “But I am grateful people in New Orleans are supporting original work.” For dancers, having large rehearsal space is a particularly valuable feature. “I usually have time or space,” Mercado-Narcisse says. “But I rarely have the combination of time and space to work.” Exposing artists’ processes is part of The Distillery’s method. It’s meant to draw in audiences and allow them to watch a piece develop in phases. The application required 10-page written statements about projects, and artists’ ability to be articulate about their processes was considered in the selection of participants, Whelan says. Artist statements are posted on The Distillery website (www. neworleansdistillery.org) and printed copies are available at the Swap Meets. The program also arranged for participants to contribute blog posts to HowlRound, a performance arts website, in September. The Distillery is designed to offer mentorship and feedback, Whelan says. There are two local program members, visual artist and
designer Jeff Becker, who has done a lot of prop design for ArtSpot Productions’ site-specific shows, and actor Sherri Marina, who served as chairwoman of Dillard University’s theater department and on the faculty of the Urban Bush Women Summer Leadership Institute. Craig Peterson, who created a similar artist residency in Philadelphia, has visited the program and met with artists. Saturday roundtable sessions offer the artists a chance to discuss their projects with other fellows. The Swap Meets allow audiences time to respond after each presentation. “It’s good for the artists to hear from audiences where they felt the heat,” Whelan says.

t The Distillery’s first Swap Meet, the four artists in the residency and development program previewed works in progress. Choreographer and dancer Martiza MercadoNarcisse had a team of 10 dancers explore movement and dancing beyond the barrier of the proscenium stage. At the second Swap Meet on Aug. 22 at the Contemporary Arts Center, she’ll dance and focus on the story. “This time it’s about the narrative,” Mercado-Narcisse says. “I’m a huge sci-fi and comic books nerd. I have always wanted to capture what I love about comic books: how movement is captured in comic book panels; using origin stories. I am working on a solo with the theme from Superman.” The Distillery is in its pilot run as an artists’ residency program. Actress and director Emilie Whelan and local artists and arts administrators created the program and received support from the Contemporary Arts Center in the form of rehearsal and meeting space, artist stipends and materials budgets. About 60 local artists applied to The Distillery, and four mid-career artists focusing on different mediums were selected. At the first Swap Meet, actor and theater artist Evan Spigelman of Skin Horse Theater sang and performed in drag with a rock band. He’s working on a larger project exploring the link between punk and queer culture. In this Swap Meet, he’ll present a more conventional theatrical narrative piece. Writer Michael “Quess?” Moore has focused on spoken word and participated in national slam poetry competitions. He’s working on a play about racial identity and may debut it at the New Orleans Fringe Festival. Musician Aurora Nealand is doing preliminary work on an operetta in the vein of Laurie Anderson’s performance pieces, about female identity, psychology, obsession with TV characters and the history of the antiquated medical diagnoses of hysteria. Thus far, she’s performed musical snippets, some based on prior compositions, while she develops ideas and the narrative aspects. Since moving to New Orleans in 2004, Nea-land has focused on jazz, and she’s juggling The Distillery residency with solo performances and shows with her Royal Roses band, writing a film score and working on material for an album she expects to release in October. The residency appealed to her because she hasn’t worked on theater

MUSIC LISTINGS PREVIEW
Crosby, Stills & Nash
When your debut album drops in between the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy and mankind’s first steps on the moon — and your second gig is at a little outdoor get-together called Woodstock — “generational” is a difficult tag to avoid. Crosby, Stills & Nash AUG Few still-active groups wear it as well as 8 p.m. Saturday David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, who last month provided The Tonight Saenger Theatre, Show with its best bit since Johnny Car1111 Canal St. son’s departure: the trio crowding around (504) 525-1052 Jimmy Fallon (as Neil Young) for a harmony volley of Iggy Azalea’s rap smash “Fancy.” www.saengernola.com (Fallon/Young: “Trash the hotel.” Crosby, Stills and Nash: “Let’s get drunk on the minibar.”) The irony fades quickly upon consideration of CSNY 1974 (Rhino), a ruby-anniversary, triple-LP and DVD remembrance of the band’s fated “Doom Tour” that arrived the next day, amid a barrage of press anecdotes from the road to ruin — sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll, mostly in that order — and how, at its tattered conclusion, the closest voices in counterculture folk hated each other’s guts. It’s all the more reason to pull a Fallon, add your voice to the chorus of “Teach Your Children” and be thankful that the times, they’re still a-changin’.

REVIEW
“Warm and breezy” is a phrase not often applied to the funny yet angst-ridden films of Woody Allen, but it’s a fair description of Magic in the Moonlight. A period piece set in the 1920s and shot amid the natural splendor of the French Riviera, the film may be the first from Allen to qualify as a traditional summer Magic in the Moonlight movie. Colin Firth plays Stanley Crawford, an Directed by Woody Allen arrogant Englishman (and secretly the world’s Starring Colin Firth and greatest magician, Wei Ling Soo) who’s asked by an old friend to expose young, successful Emma Stone American psychic Sophie Baker (Emma Stone) Limited release as a fraud. It doesn’t take long to guess how their relationship might evolve. But it’s all an excuse to further explore a theme that lies at the heart of Allen’s work, especially classics like Manhattan and Hannah and Her Sisters: rationality and cynicism versus faith in the possibility of love. Allen and cinematographer Darius Khondji shot Magic in the Moonlight on film using vintage lenses from the 1970s to give it an antique glow, and Stone looks radiant in the manner of the early Hollywood stars. In its best moments, the film seems inspired by the playful otherworldliness of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but some scenes feel awkward or forced and betray the intended lightness of the story. You either go with the film and choose to forgive its shortcomings or you don’t. It may not be top-shelf Woody Allen, but the surprisingly sweet Magic in the Moonlight does have something heartfelt and important to say. — KEN KORMAN

The winner of this year’s Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, Rich Hill examines the lives of three boys ages 13 to 15 living in the mined-out coal town of Rich Hill, Missouri (population 1,393). The kids have very different personalities, strengths and challenges, but each lives with the twin burdens of absent or barely functioning parents and deeply entrenched poverty. The parents of co-directors (and cousins) Tracy Droz Tragos and Andrew Droz Palermo hail from Rich Hill, and both filmmakers claim a deep connection to the former boom town, all of which Rich Hill helped them earn the trust of THRU locals and gain rare access to 7:30 p.m. daily AUG private, often isolated lives. Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Carefully constructed from Arts Center, 1618 Oretha 450 hours of footage, the Castle Haley Blvd. 92-minute Rich Hill does an (504) 352-1150 excellent job allowing these kids and their families to speak www.zeitgeistinc.net for themselves about their experiences. But it’s not a portrait of abject misery. Cinematographer Palermo also manages to capture the beauty of the heartland and the universal joy of early childhood. It’s an artful and often moving film free from judgment or preconception about other people’s lives. Instead of editorializing directly, the filmmakers paint real-life portraits that quietly show why telling people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps can’t address the depth and complexity of today’s social ills. There just aren’t a lot of bootstraps to be found in Rich Hill and thousands of other towns like it across America — especially for the kids. — KEN KORMAN

Beyond airplanes and atom bombs, few things symbolize 20th-century America more than comic book superheroes. Just as ancient Rome believed in all-powerful deities like Apollo and Minerva, kids in midcentury America — often called a new Roman empire — believed in Superman and Wonder Woman. The characters’ appeal knew no borders, and the vintage examples found by artist Christopher Saucedo on his travComic Book Diplomacy: New els were often boundlessly THRU surreal, so he began to subSEPT work by Christopher Saucedo tly modify them to enhance Good Children Gallery, their idiosyncratic qualities 4037 St. Claude Ave. and make them his own.

Saucedo’s modifications often employ minimal and strategic touches like his sometimes-embroidered compass symbols of the sort used to indicate north on maps, emphasizing how disorienting these globalized superheroes can be. In a 1978 Hispanic version of Wonder Woman — La Mujer Maravilla — the Twin Towers loom over a New York City apocalypse scene long before 9/11, and while this entire series is entertainingly surreal, it obviously doesn’t hurt to start with such bizarre source materials. In Ayo Scott’s solo show at Octavia Gallery, mythic beings and modern technology populate a dramatic array of collages and digital drawings. His most cogent collages include Study of a Westbank Smile, a Mona Lisa with an African spirit mask for a head posed pensively by the river amid wisps of cigarette smoke. His more rollicking digital drawings feature related carnivalesque mash-ups like pixelated riffs on Robert Colescott, but the whole show represents an eloquently cohesive evolution of Scott’s complex vision, another step in his self-described ruminations on this city’s “syncretic tensions” and “consumerism and technology’s interaction with the transcendent.” — D.
