Following a bowling party thrown by Mayor Michael Nutter to encourage positive recreation for the city’s young people, an 18year-old boy stabs a girl who rebuffed him romantically. Says Nutter: “Kinda gives me pause about next week’s knife-throwing seminar for hyperactive teens.”

Howard Eskin announces he’ll no longer do a daily show on WIP, the sports radio station where he’s been a host for 25 years. And finally some dope from Roxborough is able to get a word in edgewise about Eagles special teams during the Buddy Ryan era and, even though it’s rambling and awful, it’s an improvement.

Traffic Court judge Thomasine Tynes proposes the city force bicyclists to register their bikes. “Because I’d like to counteract all those efforts to get more people bicycling,” says Tynes. “Now please hand me my carbon monoxide inhaler before I start to think lucidly again.”

Judge Tynes also proposes that bicyclists be issued fines for violations, like biking on the sidewalk. “I can’t believe there’s not a law on the books for this,” she says, while rummaging through the Dumpsters behind Pep Boys. Then she unhinges her jaw and swallows a muffler whole, and, like, you can see the shape of it slowly moving through her neck. It’s horrible but you cannot look away.

PRAYING EAST IN WEST PHILLY Meet the two mosques transforming a neighborhood. By Daniel Denvir

he muscular arms of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University are one force reshaping West Philadelphia; a humble church and old movie theater on 43rd and 45th streets — both repurposed into mosques — are another. Over the past 20 years, a long rectangular strip heading a dozen blocks west from 42nd Street and bounded by Walnut and Market has grown into the city’s biggest and most diverse Muslim community. During the second week of Ramadan, nighttime sidewalks are booming with life: men in long, flowing robes (jallabiyyas) and cylindric kufi hats alongside women in hijabs of various colors and patterns. Restaurants and mosques alike are open late this month as Muslims heralding from all parts of the world gather at sunset to break their daylong fast and pray. This neighborhood is where a world of Islam all comes together: Sudan, Niger, Mali, Egypt, Lebanon, Ghana, Bangladesh and, of course, West Philly itself. At the heart of this community are two mosques, which serve as a kind of binary solar system around which a small world of Philadelphia Muslims turn. The Association of Islamic Charitable Projects (AICP) is the

mosque directly across the street from Manakeesh and Saad’s Lebanese restaurants, at 45th and Chestnut. AICP calls itself “a voice of moderation” and speaks out against Wahhabism, a severely strict form of Islam that the government of Saudi Arabia pays to export worldwide. AICP is also a global movement and constitutes a significant political force in Lebanon. Extremists condemn their work, which they describe as “striving to rid the Muslim community of the vile innovations and prevailing deviations — the proponents of which call for terrorism and violence.” One of its imams, who also has a Ph.D. in physics, is Ali Ghazzawi, who describes his 500-odd-person congregation as “not too liberal” (breaking what he sees to be Islamic rules to make others happy) and not “so strict that their lives and everyone else’s are miserable.” Men and women sit together under the mosque’s large dome during services — a stark contrast to more conservative mosques, where men and women are separated. On a recent night, City Paper visited the mosque in time for the Ramadan ritual evening fast-breaking meal called iftar. People ran up and down the steps to prepare the food, while others gathered in the sanctuary for a lesson. “Did you come to experience our mayhem?” asks smiling building manager Linda Hauber. Men pepper the imam with questions about Islam. Children roll around on the rug, and younger ones tug at their mothers’ clothes; another, somewhere, shines a laser pointer against the mosque wall

AICP is “a voice of moderation.”

✚ SCENES FROM REDISTRICTING We at City Paper hereby announce a contest, with awards potentially so great we dare not state them here, to describe the city’s 7th Councilmanic District. “Snake-like” is a top candidate, as is “corkscrew-shaped,” offered at City Council’s Tuesday hearing on redistricting, the first of several. The preposterously gerrymandered district incorporates a lumpish blob of Hispanic North Philly and then waggles, tail-like, into Frankford. How the districts will be reshaped to meet the city charter’s requirement of proportionate representation was the focus on Tuesday. Several witnesses, including state Rep. Angel Cruz and Wynne Alexander, called for the 7th to become a cohesive Latino district. The latter, testifying on behalf of the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights’ Joe Garcia, noted the district’s “extremely peculiar shape … the fact that it combines communities with different interest, distant physical locations, is barely contiguous — all of this marks it as classic gerrymandering.” Other moments of interest included the testimony of Herbert Kaplan, president of the Center City Residents’ Association. His request: that Center City’s powerful 8th Ward, currently represented by multiple councilpersons, be redistricted under the leadership of just one. Queer-rights activist Jordan Gwendolyn Davis proposed that the “Gayborhood be moved out of the 1st Councilmanic District.” Noting that he belongs to the Liberty City Democrats but was speaking only for himself, Davis explained, “We found that [2nd Council District candidate] Kenyatta Johnson has a real grasp of LGBT issues.” “I’m really nervous about [1st Council District candidate] Mark Squilla,” he added, “who is connected with [current Councilman

Asians and Asian-Americans make up a small proportion of the city’s population. That proportion changes radically, though, when you look at small businesses.And thanks, in part, to small, Asian-owned businesses, posters for Republican City Council AtLarge candidate David Oh are popping up citywide. Oh explained that posters on Baltimore Avenue in West Philly were distributed by African-American volunteers, but Asian small businesses are indeed playing “a pretty significant role” in the campaign, says Oh — for reasons both economic and ethnic. With Oh as the first potential Asian-American councilperson, Asian small-business owners “are more energized. In the past they felt they made an important contribution to the city economy but … didn’t have a meaningful voice.” Some in the community, however, aren’t sure Oh will be that voice. A man named Yung who answered the phone at the West Philadelphia Korean Business Association said they had yet to hear from the Oh campaign.And Ying Zhang Lin, vice president of the Chinese Restaurant Association, says that Oh can’t necessarily count on Asian small business support. “It seems like nobody cares” about business owners, says Lin. “So I don’t know if David Oh cares because I have been trying to meet him and haven’t had a meeting.” Lin even tried reaching out through a mutual acquaintance. “The guy said, ‘Oh, David Oh is very busy.’ And I said, ‘Busy for what? You’re running for office!’” —Daniel Denvir

E VA N M . L O P E Z

A newly renovated feature in which we talk to people. About stuff. City Paper: You have a lot of opinions when it comes to violence, the mayor and police in Philadelphia. What’s your take on last weekend’s curfew enforcement? Greg Bucceroni: The problem is, they only handled Center City. The youth violence still continues. They only call it a flash mob when the victims are white. When it affects black and Hispanic people, you don’t see those kinds of resources being poured in. CP: You’re saying similar incidents happen elsewhere but don’t get as much attention. GB: I ride SEPTA every day, and it happens every day, especially when school gets out. CP: What do you think the mayor should do about these problems? GB: Look, I don’t hold my tongue. The mayor’s doing what he can. But back in 2008, John Street had a lot of programs that worked in place [like] curfew centers. John Street set up curfew centers … throughout the city. Michael Nutter has an ego trip, and he and Street have a clash of egos. So the first thing Nutter does is reduce the programs. I told Michael [Nutter]: This thing is going to come back and bite us in the ass. And sure enough, it has. CP: How do you see the role of race in all of this? GB: Initially you think it’s a racial thing, because the news media are hyping it up and Former police officer, crime victim activist, youth violence reduction coordinator, loudmouth

because most of these kids are black. But I would say these kids are just looking for an opportunity: it’s like water, they’re looking for the point of least resistance. —Isaiah Thompson

INVESTMENTS ³ IT WAS GRATIFYING indeed this past week

to see Mayor Michael Nutter offering up solutions to our youth-violence problem more concrete than telling kids to pull up their pants. “And hem those damn cutoffs!” he didn’t tell the bohemians out in West Philly, if you get my drift here. Following those and other remarks certain not to impress the kids he wasn’t speaking to anyway, the mayor announced a curfew crackdown in conjunction with extended hours at rec centers and a special bowling night for teens, which he attended. The mayor, says spokesman Mark McDonald, plans to keep rec centers open later, hold more events for kids, and enlist citizen participation with the city’s (politically appointed) Youth Commission. And the youth programming makes sense: Stopping youth violence requires reaching out to kids, not just locking them up. But maybe that’s a lesson a long time coming. Prior to Nutter’s taking office, former Mayor John Street spent no small chunk of change on citywide “curfew centers,” to which under-agers were taken after being picked up by police for curfew violations, and offered a snack, rest and a slew of social services. “We’d get a dozen kids some nights,” recalls Archye Leacock, executive director of the Institute for Development of African-American Youth, which ran one center. “It was a great, great program.” In early 2008, shortly after taking office (and before the economic meltdown), Nutter closed those curfew centers, citing a 2008 study by his own administration that found the centers costly and their results inconclusive — a finding that Leacock, among others (see “Two Minutes With,” left), questions, believing Nutter’s decision had something to do with his long-standing beef with Street. “My position is you can always find a study. … If we picked up 400 kids, were able to serve 375. That’s damn good.” This past weekend, he adds, “they picked up 60-some kids — and all they did was what? Give them a citation?” Since the curfew centers closed, Leacock’s organization, which receives city funding, has seen those funds slashed. He recently had to close an after-school program after losing about $70,000 in city funding, he says, noting that Philadelphia police officers were paid $56,000 in extra overtime to “crack down” on youth violating curfew last weekend. “They’re not really cutting money” from budgets like his, Leacock argues. “They’re just moving it.” ✚ Isaiah Thompson can always find a study.

AICP’s: more South Asians and fewer Middle Easterners. The more obvious difference is religious. Men and women pray separated by a partition. Theological differences aside, members of both mosques (politely) pitched this reporter on converting to Islam. And both have become more than just a place of worship. During a recent visit, an African-American man popped his head into the office door. “Hey, brother, I’m in sometrouble.” He and Khan talked, and Khan told the man to fill out a written request for aid. “We have a little fund here,” he explains. Children giggle and shriek as they wait to break the fast. The call to prayer rings out and Kahn leaves the office, careful to step around the men prostrate on the ground. The sun is down and it is finally time to

“Not nice,” Khan says of Evangelical protests. eat. Men reach for trays of watermelon and knock back glass after glass of water. The plates of fruit done, the men gather in the corner of the mosque, facing northeast, to pray. Dinner is curry chicken and rice. “Too much spice today, too much spice,” says Emad Rushdie, an Egyptian who teaches Arabic at Penn, greeting Khan. Asked if he used to get into a little bit of trouble before his conversion, Yusuf Pace, a 44-yearold African-American Muslim, responded, “I wouldn’t classify it as a little bit. I would say a lot.” Pace says Muslims are good examples for youth in the black community, exposing the kids in the nearby housing projects to diversity. “It wasn’t like this before,” he says, thinking back to West Philly before the mosques, restaurants and stores. “I think it enhances the community because of all the different cultures.” (daniel.denvir@citypaper.net)

— until, finally, it’s almost time to eat. Men and women down water and dates — a kind of pre-break-fast — and then the call to prayer: Men assemble in rows up front, women in rows behind. Two little boys, young enough to not have to pray, try to pick one another’s fathers out of the lines. “What shirt do he have?” A man running late awkwardly navigates past a large green purse on the rug as he rushes to pray. Things were a lot quieter before the mosque’s 1993 founding, says Ghazzawi. “We would take turns and pray in people’s houses,” he says, recalling when his group found the abandoned Methodist Church on Walnut Street, a building with an architectural style that looked remarkably Islamic. “When we came, it was a dangerous neighborhood,” he says. “A lot of drug dealers. When we opened it, the neighborhood welcomed us because we’re here most of the time. I’m an unofficial community watch.” Since then it’s become a spiritual home for Muslims who have arrived here from all over the world — including a large number of AfricanAmerican converts to Islam. Amin, an AfricanAmerican Muslim, suggests that before his conversion he may have played a part in making the neighborhood a dangerous one. “I’m a street guy. Islam softened my heart,” he says, and then widens his smile. “It wasn’t always soft.” AICP has also become an anchor for a growing business district catering to its congregants. Wissam Chatila — the Temple doctor is another well-educated Lebanese close to AICP — owns Manakeesh, which opened in January across the street from his friend Saad’s popular restaurant. (Manakeesh opens at sunset during Ramadan and stays open late, while Saad closes up shop and heads back to the Mediterranean.) Asked if the neighborhood is primarily Sunni Muslim, Chatila laughs:“I like that. As if we’re back home. I still think of it as an American neighborhood.” Lebanon’s violently sectarian politics are far away, but the post-9/11 era brought heightened scrutiny —and hostility — to American Muslims. AICP stands “in stark contrast to what is [often] pictured about Islam,” says Chatila, but “because of the Islamophobia out there, we are being defined. And the wrong people are defining us.” Last year, the more conservative Masjid al-Jamia mosque down the street at 43rd and Walnut was protested by Christian evangelists. “We don’t bother anybody. They should not bother us,” says Mohammed Mahsin Khan, a member of Masjid al-Jamia’s board. “Not nice.” Kahn, a 39-year-old Bangladeshi, had to drive to New Jersey or the Northeast to pray before 1990, when that mosque was founded in a large pre-war movie theater. Across the way sits the tiny building housing a travel agency, barber shop and the overflowing 24-hour Makkah Market (owned by a mosque member), which at night draws a steady stream of cab drivers, hungry or just tired. This more conservative mosque’s population is a little different — though not less diverse — than

department, it was never audited. Anti-abortion advocates, like Republican state Rep. Matt Baker, argue that the funds for Real Alternatives are warranted, noting, “The program has served over 189,431 women the last 16 and half years — and that number does not count the babies!” Others, like Josephs, call the funding levels “shocking” and “wasteful.”

◗ HOWEVER MUCH OPPONENTS dislike funding Real Alternatives with taxpayer dollars, there has always been a silver lining: The gentleman’s agreement ensured that as long as anti-abortion programs got state dollars, family-planning services would enjoy the same. Only it’s not clear, even as Real Alternatives enjoys almost unheard-of protection in the budget, whether the deal is still being honored on the other side. For years, as Real Alternatives grew in size, so, too, did family-planning services in Pennsylvania. When Real Alternatives got $4.3 million in state funds in 1999, family-planning services received the same amount; when Real Alternatives got $5.5 million in state funds in 2005, family planning got that, too; and so on. But that changed in 2008, when, according to lawmakers on both sides of the abortion debate, the state government revised the way it channeled federal dollars to family-planning services. Suddenly, it wasn’t so easy to determine if the deal was being honored — and this year, according to Frankel, the Corbett administration made matters even worse. “One of the techniques this administration utilized was, in my view, hiding some of the cuts by collapsing different line items” in budget documents, Frankel says. In fact, no one — from the state’s Public Welfare department to lawmakers to budget analysts to abortion-rights groups — could tell CP exactly how much state funding will go to family-planning services this year, which has led some to speculate that the deal “is dead,” as Sue Frietsche, senior staff attorney of the Women’s Law Project, put it recently. Indeed, family-planning providers are closing their doors across the state. In the past year-and-a-half, six Planned Parenthood sites in Pennsylvania have shut down, according to Planned Parenthood’s Steinberg. “It’s a tragedy,” she says of women’s decreased access to services like Pap smears and STD screenings in those areas.

FUNDING LEVELS THAT ARE “SHOCKING” AND “WASTEFUL.” “It’s like taking a two-by-four to poor women.” In the meantime, Bagatta is hustling to bring in even more state funds to Real Alternatives. In the meeting with CP, Bagatta suggested that Real Alternatives deserves not just $5.8 million this year, but $6.7 million. Turning to right-hand man Thomas Lang, Bagatta allowed himself a momentary fantasy: “Can you imagine what we would look like with $20 million a year?” he asked. “There would be no abortions!” (editorial@citypaper.net)

Since my yon teens, there was no better way to live out the cineaste’s dream and be truly cosmopolitan than to make a day or night of perusing the shelves of TLA for that movie, seen or unseen — the perfect foreign film, little-known ’60s indie flick or just to rent Female Troubles for the thousandth time. Yet for all of us audience members who will miss TLA Video, it’s harder still on the knowledgeable staff who truly made it their lives and livelihood. “I don’t have anything pithy to say about it other than that it’s sad and I’m sad,” says 15-year TLA vet Carol Flaherty. “We’re heartbroken. We keep waiting for someone to sweep in, buy us, and save the day.” As bad as she and her lot feel, Flaherty says the TLA staff is still concerned about the customers. “So many people have come to us wondering how they’ll get their movies. They refuse to go to Netflix under any circumstance. A lot of our audience has expressed that level of love.” Along with parties and screenings in late September dedicated to TLA’s staff, film geeks Beth Kellner and Scott Johnston are doing a documentary short on TLA and hosting Horsey (a band with TLA managers) at the Late Night Cabaret Sept. 13. Sweet parting sorrow. ³ I was hugging it out with Bruno Pouget last Friday in front of a packed-tight Noble American Cookery, just hours before he and coowner Todd Rodgers closed the joint and sold the biz to Stephen Starr’s SRO for Chris Painter’s grand Il Pittore. (And I thought the big smile on Bruno’s face was because of me.) SRO will hold on to most of Noble’s staff for the due-in-October Italian ristorante. ³The rootin’ tootin’ k.d. lang-like Lady may have a few surprise dates under their belt before the Nicolo-produced debut disc Me, You drops in September. Meanwhile, singer Kate Foust is doing something solo that she always wanted to, Aug. 18, at South 21st Street’s Rogue’s Gallery: front a synth-heavy ’90s R&B cover band. Expect lots of Destiny’s Child, 3LW and SWV. I’m so into that. ³ One-time Starr employee and ex-Revival manger Gordon Dinerman has made it known that his Italian eaterie Birra (1700 E. Passyunk) should finally be ready-to-serve on my birthday, Aug. 22. Sounds like a worthy opening date to me. ³ Mere blocks away at 1117 E. Passyunk, the unholy union of drummer Joe Ankenbrand and bookseller Molly Russakoff have opened a second Molly’s Books and Records location that specializes in cheap vinyl. (We’re talking about records, not all-weather siding.) The spot doubles as Ankenbrand’s new recording studio. ³ Icepack is always cheap — and fully illustrated — at citypaper.net/criticalmass.

BODY MASS INDEXED: Amber Lynn Thompson charts her friend’s slow journey to slenderness through a years-long multimedia art project. NEAL SANTOS

[ visual art ]

WORTH THE WEIGHT Philadelphia artist Amber Lynn Thompson’s Project Gastric takes on transformation documentation — and it’s a long time coming. By Meg Augustin

f cats really do have nine lives, Amber Lynn Thompson is undoubtedly feline. The local artist and photographer has encountered her fair share of growing pains — from a difficult childhood to a years-long battle with obesity and, most recently, the February closure of her Northern Liberties boutique, Amberella. But just when she was ready to throw in the towel on Philly and all of its ghosts, fate stepped in. A few months ago, Thompson reconnected with an old friend who had gained a lot of weight and was considering gastric bypass surgery. The reunion brought back memories for the 30-year-old West Chester native, who had undergone the same procedure herself nine years prior. “I dug up old diaries and scrap pieces of paper from before I had the surgery, and everything that I had wanted to do artistically came flooding back,” says Thompson, who admits to regretting never properly — or, for that matter, publicly — documenting her own transition from obesity. “For the past nine years, my heart and mind have been haunted by the opportunity that I let slip through my fingers. … I wanted to do everything that I had wanted to do for

myself — for my friend.” Feeling like she’d been given a second chance to express this emotional journey through art, Thompson asked her friend — whom she calls “The Patient” to respect her privacy — to be her muse for Project Gastric. Thompson envisioned a series of multimedia installations that would represent body image, life as an overweight woman, and the challenges and changes that come along with gastric bypass surgery. But money for artistic pursuits doesn’t grow on trees: For the project, she would need a bunch of oversize canvases, leotards in a variety of sizes, supplies and plenty of space to create. To Thompson’s great surprise, friends donated money, acquaintances supplied props, inspired strangers and business owners gave her discounts — and even a professional client of hers gave her the perfect studio space, free of charge.

She felt like she’d been given a second chance.

³ WITH FUNDS IN place, Thompson has begun creating. The first installation makes use of leotards — a painful symbol of body-consciousness from Thompson’s early years of trying to squeeze into baby-pink spandex ballet costumes. With every weekly weigh-in, The Patient will be photographed in a leotard, which will then be bagged and labeled as “Evidence” of her journey to slenderness. Phase two of the project is slightly more public — and if you are >>> continued on adjacent page

an observant city dweller, you’ve likely already seen it. “Cat Calls,” plastered monthly on building façades all over Philadelphia, is a series of wheat-pasted black-and-white images of overweight, nude women, each accompanied by a lewd comment, or cat call (think: “Damn, Girl You Thick,” “Hey Shawty”) — all of which Thompson remembers hearing from total strangers during her curviest years. According to the artist, the pieces will evoke different feelings in different people, just as actual cat calls do, while addressing for all audiences the objectification and sexualization of the female body. Project Gastric also includes several of Thompson’s private artworks from around the time of her own surgery — none of which have ever been made public. Looking at one particular piece, featuring her own face pasted on different female bodies, it’s clear that Thompson’s transition from a small-framed, 5-foot-4, 212pound woman to a slim Amber Lynn was just as much an internal transformation as an external one. Her greatest fear in going through with the surgery, Thompson says, was that she would lose herself — the person she had become because of (and, in some ways, despite) her weight. Another part of Thompson’s project will be completed on four oversize canvases. The Patient will be traced from each side, front and back, noting her silhouette on each canvas. As her weight drops, about 48 traces will be lined inside one another, tracking

³ PROJECT GASTRIC WILL

continue until The Patient reaches her goal weight — likely at least two years from now — at which point Thompson hopes to gather up the project’s myriad components for a final exhibition. While helpful as a tracking Second and Market streets mechanism, the project ultimately seeks to convey the experience of being overweight and body-conscious to those who have not experienced it while offering comfort and vision for those who have. Thompson hopes her artwork will be a celebration for those who have survived surgeries, a token for the overweight and proud, a beacon for those struggling with weight and an eye-opener for those who otherwise might not be able to relate — and, most importantly, she wants Project Gastric to shine a light on the shadowy issue of body image.

ONE DAY

FOLK FEST BETS

HogMaw

³ FRIDAY

Unsung Heroes, the annual competition open only to Festival campground musicians, chose youngins HogMaw and old-heads Philadelphia Jug Band to play the main stage Friday afternoon along with other local lights like Hoots and Hellmouth and Birdie Busch. Cajun dance fans have a chance to enjoy Lafayette’s Steve Riley twice: under the lobby tent where there’s a genuine dancefloor, and later on the main stage. Other evening highlights include John Flynn, old-time Appalachian stalwarts Dry Branch Fire Squad and Celtic rockers Tempest.

It plays out like a series of deleted scenes.

✚ Read Gary M. Kramer’s interview with Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess and Lone Scherfig

The afternoon combo show, Trombone Shorty’s genuine New Orleans brass and David Bromberg Big Band, promises much creative guesting. The evening is packed: sacred steel guitar from the Campbell Brothers,Scottish road warrior revivalists Battlefield Band and the three-part-harmony originals of Angel Band.Footworks specializes in dances that use feet as drums. Arlo Guthrie will close the show, undoubtedly reminiscing about his days as a rabble-rouser, at the Fest and beyond. ³ SUNDAY

The weekend ends with more performers who can dredge up some pretty early Festival memories, topical songwriting legend Tom Paxton, Levon Helm and Tom Rush among them. Don’t forget, if you see Gene Shay strolling around between his MC duties, shake his hand to thank him for hosting every single one of these 50 festivals. Looking to the future, the Great Groove band will take the main stage with a group of school-age kids who’ve devoted the weekend to learning several traditional tunes.

the way? One Day may be the umpteenth film this year to address that thorny question, yet only heartless cynics will be bothered by the familiarity of this shamelessly irresistible romantic melodrama. The “one day” in question is July 15, St. Swithin’s Day, when Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess) first meet. The film, adapted by author David Nicholls from his best-seller, chronicles Em and Dex’s lives, filled with ups and downs as well as various pop-culture touchstones, on the same day every year for two decades. While this sounds like Same Time, Next Year, One Day actually plays out like a series of deleted scenes; as much of the drama occurs off-screen as on. Forced to fill in the gaps each year regarding the changes in relationships, family issues and career opportunities, viewers actually attain a deep investment in the characters. This narrative gimmick and the film’s “live for today” message may be contrived, but director Lone Scherfig’s sure hand and fast pace makes the conceit surprisingly moving. Rachel Portman’s syrupy score will jerk tears from hopeless romantics during all the Big Emotional Moments, but One Day earns those tears. When Emma smiles because of something Dexter says or does, she is simply radiant. And say what you want about her British accent — you know you will — Hathaway is terrific as a woman in need of an annual confidence boost, and she wears some fabulous clothes. Yet it’s Sturgess who anchors the film. As a reckless guy lost without his true love, he is charming and remarkably affecting. —Gary M. Kramer at citypaper.net/criticalmass.

on’t let the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame induction fool you. Or the fact that, right after this interview, he was due at a shockingly early workshop at FloydFest. Jorma Kaukonen doesn’t consider himself a rocker. “I was just thinking about it as I was waiting for your call,” he says, right after hello. “I’ve always characterized myself as a folkie.” Witness “Embryonic Journey,” the stand-out cut from Jefferson Airplane’s legendary 1967 album, Surrealistic Pillow. Kaukonen says the engineer heard him noodling that tune and insisted it be included on the otherwise side-to-side rock album. People with big ears — like folk radio legend Gene Shay, who has hosted all 50 Philadelphia Folk Festivals — jumped on it right away. And you can’t get much more folk than Martin guitars; they produce a Jorma Kaukonen signature line. So, does Kaukonen have memories of playing the festival early and often? No. Only recently has Hot Tuna, the Airplane spinoff that he and boyhood pal Jack Casady formed in the late ’60s, performed a set at the Folksong Society annual throwdown. Better late than never: “To be included in the Folk Fest is an honor,” he says. Growing up in the D.C. area was as good as Philly for opportunities to hear live acoustic music, launching Kaukonen into playing bluegrass and old-time. When he went off to Antioch in Yellow Springs, Ohio, his guitar went with him. There he became close friends with Ian Buchanan, “my first fingerpicker” — and that changed his world. Buchanan was friends with Eric Von Schmidt and Dave Van Ronk, two leaders of the folk revival. Kaukonen remembers moving to New York and being invited, sorta, to a card

game at Van Ronk’s (“Sit in a corner and don’t say anything,” he’d told himself at the time). Also in that era: “I was a distant disciple of Reverend Gary Davis,” the finger-style genius who was a Festival stalwart through the end of his career. Kaukonen recommends the film Don’t Look Back, finding it true to the folk scene of the era in New York, where he himself was “a non-entity from a small town in Ohio.” Fast forward through San Francisco and out the other side, where Kaukonen and wife, Vanessa, are tired of the rock meat grinder and figuring what to do next. They settled on a performance and teaching center in Ohio, Fur Peace Ranch. Teaching is one of the things he prides himself on. Nobody will suffer the indignities he did as a lad. “Ian would show me something, but couldn’t explain it. You were just to go into your room, practice, come back out and have him say, ‘That sucks, it goes like this,’ and listen/practice some more.” In keeping with his look-to-the-future philosophy, in addition to residential guitar camp, he now offers lessons online, on demand at breakdownway.com. You can compare Kaukonen’s in-person teaching style with some other greats on Sunday at noon during the blues workshop with David Bromberg, Roy Book Binder and Tom Rush, among others. Kaukonen is big on encouragement, and likes sharing a tip or two. Want to join a jam? Hide your pick! “I love bluegrass, and since I’m a finger-picker they cut me slack. I’m not expected to play like Bryan Sutton or Tony Rice.” Speaking of his own career, consider this: “My successes are predicated in my inadequacies. I couldn’t mimic so I had to develop my own style.” (m_armstrong@citypaper.net)

FRIGHT NIGHT|BUnlike many a remake, this revamp of Tom Holland’s 1985 horror-comedy learned most of the right lessons from its predecessor. In fact, even though it deviates from its source at several points, it even makes some of the same stumbles — where the original now feels a bit dated thanks to color palettes and hairstyles, Craig Gillespie’s version will inevitably bring future viewers back to the ’10s with its distracting 3D gimmickry and annoying, ridiculous CGI blood spurts to accompany every paper cut. Anton Yelchin is Charley Brewster, a high-schooler in the process of reinventing himself — transitioning from role-playing geek into cool kid, complete with hot blond girlfriend (Imogen Poots). His past continues to hang around in the form of his former best friend, “Evil” Ed Thompson (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, unfortunately replaying his sole character), who’s convinced Charley’s new neighbor is a vampire. It just so happens that he’s right; enter an endearingly hammy Colin Farrell, making speeches about the “scent of fear” while suggesting that one way to survive the tedium of immortality is to simply not be very bright. He chuckles to himself while watching Real Housewives alone, or turns his hangdog expression to try and wheedle an invite into a potential victim’s home. Roddy McDowall’s TV horror host — a nearly extinct breed — is transformed into a Criss Angel-style Vegas magician, played by David Tennant via Russell Brand. The film’s horror is tame, its comedy mild — matching the limited charms of its model. —Shaun Brady (UA Riverview)

MAGIC TRIP|B It’s hard to know how much to dock Allison Ellwood and Alex Gibney’s chronicle of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters’ cross-country voyage for being exactly as exasperating as the actual trip must have been. Then the bestselling author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Kesey was moving toward working on a human canvas, promoting social change and cutting out the pesky middleman of literature. The self-proclaimed Pranksters weren’t hippies, since the term didn’t yet exist, and most of the men wore their hair short, but the conscious-raising use of psychedelic drugs and the move toward polyamory were in full swing. (One participant refers to Kesey as “single” because his wife wasn’t on the bus.) Heading from California to New York for the ’64 World’s Fair, Kesey was determined to create his own attraction, filming the proceedings for posterity, but he never got around to completing the film — or, for the next 25 years, much of anything. If nothing else, Magic Trip is an astonishing act of historical reclamation, joining restored image and unsynched sound for the first time, a process that’s particularly effective in re-creating the speed-fueled raps of bus driver Neal Cassady, Beat muse and perpetual hanger-on. The frenetic rhythm of overlapping voices (deceased Pranksters are dubbed by actors) has the grating quality of Cassavetes’ Shadows, but chances are if you’d been on board, you’ve have heard the same until your eardrums bled. —Sam Adams (Ritz at the Bourse)

THE NAMES OF LOVE|B Political unrest, the Holocaust, hostilities against and within the Arab community, the ugly legacy of French Algeria, child molestation — Michel Leclerc’s latest film tackles all of these heady issues. Being French, the film is naturally a romantic comedy. Sara Forestier plays a young, beautiful free spirit,

Divorced and desperate, her main goal is to make quick cash so she can relocate nearer her children, but her investigative reflexes kick in when battered and scarred women and girls show up at a U.N. hospital. The husbands and fathers who might have protected them have been taken by the war, leaving an ideal breeding ground for human traffickers and other vermin. Kathy is shocked to find girls kept as sexual slaves, more so to find that international forces, from contractors on up through the U.N. command, are either complicit or active participants in the prostitution

a whirlwind of manic energy so dizzily preoccupied that she occasionally forgets to wear clothes to catch the train. Her one-woman mission to bring about world peace is to sleep with — and thereby convert — “fascists,” a word she broadly defines to include the enormous population whose opinions are anywhere to the right of her own. She stumbles upon Arthur Martin (Jacques Gamblin), an obsessive ornithologist in his mid-40s who regularly appears on the radio to offer panicked warnings of the risk of avian flu. Where she is uninhibited, he prefers to bury any perceived unpleasantness, including his Jewish identity. The two strike up an unlikely romance, which never shakes the tinge of being an idea on the page rather than an actual relationship, and the film too often screeches to a halt in order to deliver its political asides before resuming its madcap plot. Leclerc isn’t shy about pledging his allegiance to Woody Allen, whose influence shows through in the few scenes where Leclerc manages to fuse the film’s two identities — as in a dinner party with Martin’s Holocaust-phobic parents where sensitive words like “camp” and “oven” keep slipping out. —S.B. (Ritz at the Bourse)

Ayrton Senna was a star. As recounted in Asif Kapadia’s terrific documentary, the Formula One driver was not only skilled and daring, but also charismatic and thoughtful. The film begins as he arrives from Brazil for the first time in Europe to compete in go-kart races, and immediately draws attention from other racers as well as the media. “It was pure driving, pure racing,” he says in an interview at the time, in 1978. “There wasn’t any politics involved in it, no money involved, either. Like it was real racing.” The film goes on to consider the many ways that politics manifest in Formula One racing — the ways teams make money, hire drivers and contract with media — while also conveying what’s thrilling about driving, from a driver’s perspective (and using remarkable footage from inside drivers’ cockpits). As Senna, his chief competitor and teammate Alain Prost, and a range of international commentators and journalists discuss what’s at stake for national, corporate and individual identities, the film leads inevitably to Senna’s death in 1994, following a crash at the San Marino Grand Prix in Imola, Italy. Less celebratory than contemplative, more nuanced than definitive, the documentary articulates

industry, making up its work force as well as its primary clientele. Kathy plods doggedly through her frequently stymied investigation, and The Whistleblower follows suit, trudging forward one muck-encumbered step at a time. Although Kondracki intersperses shots of a Ukrainian runaway (Roxana Condurache) and her frantic mother, the movie’s narrow focus constrains a pullback to the larger picture; the final titles devote more space to Kathy’s fate than that of the girls she tried to protect. —S.A.

bolts, fraying wires, that sorta thing. This time the disaster’s a bridge collapse (damn you, Congress, for ignoring our crumbling infrastructure!) and there’s some weird, unconfirmed and ultimately pointless loophole it’s not worth going into here. This franchise has few surprises to offer, so don’t let anybody ruin FD5’s ridiculous and selfcongratulatory ending for you. —Patrick Rapa (UA 69th St., UA Riverview)

THE FUTURE|A Sophie (July) and Jason (Hamish Linklater), despite being in their mid30s, are almost pathologically averse to commitment. Adopting a wounded cat is about all the responsibility they can handle, a burden they contemplate by marking off calendar days as PawPaw’s homecoming draws closer. It sounds, frighteningly enough, like some appalling hybrid of Napoleon Dynamite

and Knocked Up, but Miranda July’s approach to arrested development has the feel of a personal face-off rather than generational comment or answersong riposte. Sophie and Jason’s trepidation may have roots in absurdity, but its aftershocks are tangible, even as they pierce the boundaries of strict reality. The Future is deceptively simple, the richness of its insights apparent only after it’s spent weeks germinating in the recesses of your mind. Head-on, it will elude your grasp. —S.A. (Ritz at the Bourse)

THE GUARD|AJohn Michael McDonagh, brother of lauded playwright and In Bruges director Martin McDonagh, takes a whole-hog approach to exploiting the provincial reputation of the Irish in his directorial debut, following the amoral exploits of Gerry Boyle

(Brendan Gleeson), an acid-dropping, hooker-hiring, socially stunted police officer who could very well be the last clean cop on the Emerald Isle. What makes The Guard such a watchable black comedy, aside from its grinningly McQueen-like pace, is Gleeson’s serrated performance, at once childlike, cold and chummy. —D.L. (Ritz Five)

THE HELP|C The Help maintains an air of glossy nobility, sanctifying every one of its characters for their courage while shielding its eyes from hard truths at every turn. For all of its Oprah’s Book Clubbiness, the source novel at least maintained that very real threat of violence and abuse that any AfricanAmerican faced by stepping out of line — lines constantly redefined by their angry and frustrated white neighbors and employers. But Tate Taylor places his emphasis squarely on crowd-pleasing, alternating scenes

of quiet, dignified suffering with those silly racist, rich white folk showing their true colors. Its prevailing mood is self-congratulatory, tsk-tsk-ing bigotry from the safe haven of its own more enlightened era. —S.B. (UA 69th St., UA Riverview)

SARAH’S KEY|D Gilles Paquet-Brenner’s swooning drama not only plays on liberal guilt but incorporates it directly into the narrative, paralleling the ordeal of a young Jewish girl during the infamous Vel’ d’Hiv Roundup of 1942 with the well-appointed suffering of Kristin Scott Thomas as a present-day journalist uncovering her story. Of course, as with so much Academy bait, the horrors of the past are mainly relevant to helping muddle through our own life crises. We are the “product of our history,” Scott Thomas points out as a way to sum the film up, but Sarah’s Key is the latest product in a long line that forces history to be the product

BEE YOURSELF ³ “I HATE WINNIE the Pooh,” Don Shump, owner of Philadelphia Bee Company, laughs as he explains the ignorance the character fosters about his passion: honeybees. A longtime Queen Village resident raised in Media, Shump took an interest in the field in 2007 after learning about colony collapse disorder (CCD), a phenomenon that results in the rapid disappearance of bees. “Honeybees are responsible for one-third of the food in the world,” says Shump. Even with the swarming information my brain was digesting during our chat — pollination, varroa mites, Italian vs. Russian varieties — it wasn’t difficult to grasp the sincerity of Shump’s concerns. A former web developer who now focuses on his apian pursuits full-time, Shump started at a Queen Village community garden, where existing hives needed volunteers for keeping. After years of bouncing between the garden and Greensgrow Farm, rescuing a swarm and a few rough attempts at maintaining his own colonies, Shump now has 10 hives in West Philly to check up on and 600,000 honeybees to call his own. That’s a whole lot of bees making a whole lot of honey. “It’s like wine,” he says, as I dip my finger into a jar for a taste. “It’s different everywhere you grow it.” This summer, Shump harvested 180 pounds of raw (aka nonpasteurized) honey from his West Philly hives. “I ran out of jars,” Stump says proudly, resulting in the current centerpiece on his kitchen table: a gigantic bucket of gooey, golden honey. But what does one do with all that? Besides enjoying it via wife Amanda’s recipes for ice cream, burgers, roasted figs and even vodka, Shump is sharing the sweetness on his company’s website at $6 a jar. Next Friday, Aug. 26, he’s partnering with Melissa Torre, owner of Cookie Confidential (517 S. Fifth St.), for her monthly fourth-Friday tasting event, handing out free honey-based treats at the shop. It’s not all about retail, though. A big part of Philadelphia Bee Company’s mission is to stress the importance of honeybees through appearances at schools, community centers and organizations. “There’s much misunderstanding [about the difference] between bumblebees, wasps and honeybees,” says Shump. His presentations focus on the value of their existence, how we can foster a habitat encouraging feral bees to return and how our food system would stagger to a halt without them, which is what could happen if beekeepers and scientists can’t decode the disorder.

EAST MEETS WEST MEETS CHEESY PASTA: Llama Tooth’s “Bonsai Mac” features classic mac ’n’ cheese hooked up with Asian-ish additions like crushed wasabi peas, kimchi and tuna sashimi. NEAL SANTOS

[ review ]

SPIT SHINE At Llama Tooth, the name is only the beginning of the zaniness. By Adam Erace LLAMA TOOTH | 1033 Spring Garden St., 267-639-4582, llamatooth. com. Open Tue.-Fri., 5-11 p.m.; Sat.-Sun., 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Appetizers, $4$15; entrées, $7.50-$18; dessert, $6.

hile kittens and ponies enchant most little girls, Alison Galster grew up dreaming about llamas. Which might help explain the name of the Spring Garden restaurant she opened with father, Joe, and brother, John, in June. “At first I resisted calling it Llama Tooth,” says Joe, a veteran real estate broker who wanted to name the venture “Murals” or “Hibiscus,” after the flowering Frito Bastien painting that frames the restaurant’s More on: adjacent 50-seat garden. “But eventually it grew on me.” It kind of grew on me, too. On the rainy night I visited, the only other guests in this 40-seat shoebox were Alison and John’s mom, chatting amiably with the staff between bites of chocolate-peanut-butter pie, and several dozen grinning llamas. They ogled us from paintings on the powder-blue walls, cut-andpasted into bucolic landscapes and stately squares with all the seamlessness of an AOL-era celebrity nude. The theme is so kooky, it defies explanation. When asked what

citypaper.net

Llama Tooth means, Alison, a jewelry designer by trade with frontof-the-house experience at Mixto, responded, “What do you think it means?” I’m still trying to figure out if she’s serious. The unapologetic zaniness extends to chef Ken Therrien’s menu, where broccoli florets stud the meatloaf, Kahlua flavors the filet mignon, and seared ahi, wasabi peas and crispy wonton curls teach Japanese to the mac ’n’ cheese. File your nails before you go; you’ll be doing a lot of head scratching over dinner. In its own weird way, though, Llama Tooth is charming — like your great-uncle whose mild dementia never fails to entertain at family get-togethers. Therrien, a Hinge Café vet who spends half the year cooking in the Virgin Islands, feels right at home in Llama Tooth’s tiny kitchen while the rest of Philadelphia is outside enjoying the balmy weather. His from-scratch approach — the only two storebought items in his fresh-ingredient arsenal are ketchup and mustard — and earnestness are why MORE FOOD AND Llama Tooth stands a chance of being DRINK COVERAGE more than just that restaurant with the AT C I T Y P A P E R . N E T / silly name. M E A LT I C K E T. It was hard to resist a snicker at the “Bonsai Mac,” the aforementioned Asian answer to Therrien’s popular truffled mushroom mac ’n’ cheese. But the Gorgonzola-, Parmigiano- and Brie-enrobed joke was on me. Draped over the baked noodles and lit with a little kimchi, the slices of exquisitely rare tuna tasted better than I expected, and the mac’s crust of crushed wasabi peas was a neat substitution for typical bread crumbs. The combination, which Therrien says he “dreamed up >>> continued on page 34

LIBERTY DELI

✚ Spit Shine

citypaper.net/notes

Don’t look the llamas in the eye. I hear they tend to spit. one night,” would horrify a sashimi purist, and while it’s strange, that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Therrien must’ve been a cheesemonger in a past life, because queso figures prominently into his menu here. There are burgers lavished with ritzy blue, a lovely cheese plate and a Gorgonzola fondue I loved, mixed with sweet summer corn and crisp shards of bacon. Served with carrots, celery, apples and zesty croutons for dipping, the fondue is thinned to its silky consistency by beer; occasionally Therrien adds Kenzinger, but more often it’s Miller Lite, a strange choice for a restaurant that goes through the trouble of listing Beer Advocate scores for each brew on its craft-heavy list. Yup, Llama Tooth has a liquor license. Just no bar at which to sit. (Plans for an addition to the building include one.) What’s ironic is Joe, Alison and John, a longtime manager at Manny Brown’s in Bucks County, originally set out to open a bar, not a restaurant, but the garden sold them on the property, last occupied by vegetarian vanishing act Thoreau. Joe, being in the real estate game, knew a wise investment when he saw one. Once Union Transfer opens across the street, this stretch of Spring Garden won’t be so dark and desolate. The rain didn’t help, but even on dry nights there’s not much traffic on this block, and the garden, Llama Tooth’s greatest asset, is so poorly lit it appears more foreboding than welcoming. When the rain ceased and another couple who had wandered in asked to sit outside, the staff hesitated and eventually consented to unstacking a tower of wrought-iron chairs. The couple only drank wine, which is too bad. They missed out on the snappy arugula salad, a special accessorized with succulent grilled peaches, chevre, housemade honey-almond clusters and a smart ginger-white balsamic vinaigrette. Another limited engagement was smooth chilled avocado-and-corn bisque, for which Therrien makes his own husk stock and sweet red bell pepper flakes. The turkey meatloaf was a worthy follow-up to those starters, dense with vegetables and very moist; props to beer and chicken stock that steams the meat while it bakes, as well as the stripe of sweet/sour/spicy barbecue sauce doctored with whiskey, jalapeños and pineapple juice. The Java Steak’s coffee liqueur-spiked jus, on the other hand, was only sweet, like a melted thousand-calorie Starbucks Frappuccino beneath a raggedy 6-ounce filet mignon. Stranger still, the steak came with two treatments of potato: mashed underneath and matchstick-thin, basil-flecked frites on top. Usually, the beef gets just the fries; according to Therrien, the double starch was a mistake by sous chef Shaye Malloy. Fortunately, Malloy redeemed herself with the peanutbutter pie, silky and a little salty in an Oreo crust. The dense, bittersweet chocolate-ganache torte, laced with raspberry liqueur, was another winner. With desserts this straightforward and satisfying, the llamas in the room are liable to get jealous. Just don’t look them in the eye; I hear they tend to spit. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

³ NOW SEATING MilkBoy Philly | The first city-limits venture for Jamie Lokoff and Tommy Joyner of the Main Line’s MilkBoy Recording Studios and MilkBoy Coffee, this casually industrial bilevel space is equal parts café, bar, restaurant and music venue. This week they’re soft-open for Counter Culture coffee during the day, pouring six beers on tap, 20 in cans and 15 signature cocktails once night falls. This coming Monday, Aug. 22, they’ll start rolling out food, and the second-floor show space will be open by midSeptember. They’re open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. weekdays, with slightly later last calls on weekends. 1100 Chestnut St., 215-925-MILK, milkboyphilly.com.

³ CHECK, PLEASE Noble American Cookery | Todd Rodgers and

Bruno Pouget have sold Noble, which opened in 2009, to Stephen Starr. Though their business was enjoying a recent uptick, the owners characterize the deal as the wisest business decision for them. All Noble employees were offered preferential interviews within the Starr organization; the duo owns the bricks, and will continue to do so as Starr rejiggers the space to accommodate Il Pittore, his corporate chef Chris Painter’s restaurant that’s had several stop-and-starts at different addresses. Il Pittore is expected to open in October. Rodgers and Pouget, meanwhile, are not averse to taking on another restaurant project in the near future. 2025 Sansom St. ³ LITTLE VITTLES Biba (3131 Walnut St.), the U-City Tria offshoot that

opened in October, has changed its moniker to Tria Wine Room. Better name recognition. They’re selling off all

their fancy Biba-branded wine glasses for the very reasonable price of $36 per half dozen. Inquire within. ³ The team at Yakitori Boy (211 N. 11th St.) is opening a ramen shop, adorably named Ramen Boy, at 204 N. Ninth St. ³ Look out for RHUBY on state store shelves this week — that’s the brand-new organic rhubarbbased spirit from Art in the Age, creators of ROOT and SNAP. ³ The soup-and-sandwich-serving truck Soup & Wich will be rolling out on Philly streets by late October.
