Cutting Vedge Regarding Brian Freedman’s review of Washington Square vegan restaurant Vedge: This is a nice piece, but until we stop comparing a vegan dish to a meat dish, or even stop labeling it a “vegan” dish, vegan dining will never go mainstream.

CHRISTINE CHRONIS, via philadelphiaweekly.com This restaurant is not child friendly. They do not provide high chairs for their customers and discourage parents from bringing children. It’s a shame because it’s a very good vegan restaurant.

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com Love the place, love the food, but I agree that they could soften their attitude about kids.

Raided A

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com

Regarding Sean Burns’ review of “Raid: The Redemption”: I disagree that this film is easily forgettable. I loved it, even on my second screening. I didn’t feel bored and I still remember the details. But we’re probably looking for different things.

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com

Out of Control Regarding Tara Murtha’s news feature about Philly’s animal control: Everyone I’ve ever encountered at ACCT works as hard as they can with the resources they have. Who would be smiling and chipper every day when their job is to take in animals that nobody wants and do their best to save them from being euthanized? The volunteers are the best you’ll find anywhere. I have adopted a sick dog from ACCT during a canine flu outbreak—it took a couple of weeks and some extra TLC to get her better, but she recovered and is the BEST dog ever! I say, good luck Sue! And by the way, $100,000 is not a lot of money for a CEO, even at a nonprofit.

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com Their policies are absolutely the worst. In the last 18 months I’ve fostered a kitty that, after a dozen “vet” visits (you see a vet tech, never a vet) I adopted the kitty and took her to MY vet, was diagnosed with feline asthma, NOT a URI AND when we adopted a dog, he had to be returned within 24 hours because he had bloody stool POURING out of him and could barely stand up. He was also cat aggressive after we were told he was cat tested. The staff of ACCT is rude, ignorant and not at all helpful.

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com [In response to online commenters:] As an ACCT employee, I find it very disrespectful to say that we do not care about the animals. We love animals and we try our best under our current policy to help the animals at the shelter. We have an awesome volunteer group who are here at the shelter from 8 a.m. to almost 10 p.m. every day walking dogs, training dogs, working with cats. As the only public intake shelter for the entire city, we have more animals coming in daily than we have leaving the shelter. Of course we would like to save every animal but unfortunately we can’t. Last July, we took in 2308 cats. That’s just July alone. Now I would agree that the policies need to be reformed as well as the board.

This job isn’t the easiest between dealing with phones ringing nonstop, customers at your window, and entering paperwork. If you think you can do this job, feel free to just sit here and observe just two hours in the shelter and see what we see.

Philly’s homegrown playwrights are enjoying a high-profile boom—in town and beyond.

t’s no secret that Philadelphia’s theater scene has grown by leaps and bounds over the last 15 years. Every season, new companies spring up, led by visionary artistic directors who fill their productions from the area’s huge talent pool. The actors, of course, can’t help but be the most visible of that talent, followed closely by the designers. But right now, it’s a group that often goes unseen, the playwrights, who are booming in both numbers and stature.

This month sees a rare quadruple feat: no fewer than four simultaneous professional productions of plays—Bruce Graham’s The Outgoing Tide, Michael Hollinger’s Cyrano, Jacqueline Goldfinger’s Slip/Shot and the collaborative The Golem—all written by homegrown bards.

While the shows themselves have little in common, their confluence represents a powerful moment in Philly drama.

The unofficial dean of Philadelphia

• 8

playwrights and a South Philly resident, Graham is the author of 15 plays spanning several decades. All but two of his plays have had their world premiere here. The

Outgoing Tide is one that didn’t, having been commissioned by Chicago’s Northlight Theater for a production starring John Mahoney—but though it opened in the Windy City first, Tide, now playing at the Philadelphia Theatre Company’s Suzanne Roberts Theatre, draws heavily on Graham’s hometown, featuring an elderly South Philly protagonist, Gunner, who’s battling Alzheimer’s.

Gunner isn’t the first blue-collar Philadelphian to figure prominently in one of Graham’s plays—the diehard sports enthusiast we encounter in The Philly Fan is perhaps the most memorable—and the playwright credits the city for heavily influencing his characters. “I want to put the people in my plays in situations that I’m familiar with and give them a voice that I’m familiar with,” he says, adding that he often writes with specific Philadelphia actors in mind. “It’s easier to write comedy for particular actors because you know their mannerisms, voice and timing. And frankly, I think people in Philadelphia are pretty damn funny. We just have a weird view of life that lends itself to comedy.”

Tide, though not a comedy, does have a

few surprisingly funny moments considering the seriousness of its topic. It was a huge hit in its Chicago run, capturing that city’s Jefferson Award for best new play and marking the third straight year one of Graham’s works has received a new play award. The previous two were both for Philly premieres: 2009’s Something Intangible and 2010’s Any Given Monday both won Philadelphia’s Barrymore Award.

Graham’s not the only Barrymore winner in the spotlight this season. Playwright Michael Hollinger has taken the award three times in the past, for Red Herring, Opus and last year’s GhostWriter, all at the Arden. A resident of Elkins Park and the author of more than a dozen plays, Hollinger is branching out into new territory this year with his adaptation of Cyrano, now running at the Arden. It’s his first translated work, as well as his second collaboration with Arden co-founder Aaron Posner.

In an exciting blend of action and romance, Hollinger retains the panache of Edmond Rostand’s original play Cyrano de Bergerac, but jettisons the archaic language that makes the original and its previous English translations feel weighty and slow. The result is a nimble, compelling play that still features wonderful moments of poetic eloquence.

The Philly Fringe has been one factor in building a local community of up-andcoming playwrights, offering a platform where they can inexpensively launch new work and gauge a live audience’s reaction.

The city’s established companies, too— the Arden, InterAct Theatre Company, Philadelphia Theatre Company—have all launched new-play development programs that help build lasting relationships with playwrights both national and local.

A third catalyst is less obvious to those outside the biz: Independent from the theater companies, Philadelphia boasts a professional new-play development organization, PlayPenn, that helps playwrights develop new work at an annual creative conference. Since 2005, PlayPenn has spawned 33 new plays that have been professionally produced in the United States. Eight of those 33 had their world premiere in Philadelphia, and six of them were penned by local dramatists like Jacqueline Goldfinger—whose new play Slip/ Shot, developed at PlayPenn, is now making its world premiere in a production from Flashpoint Theatre Company.

Goldfinger moved to Center City a few years ago from San Diego when her biologist husband got a job at Temple University. Slip/Shot is her third full-length play

to debut here in the last year, following Azuka Theatre’s production of The Terrible Girls and Gas & Electric Arts’ premiere of Hershel & The Hanukkah Goblins. Slip/ Shot, like most of Goldfinger’s work, has a mysterious, Southern-gothic quality: Set in Tallahassee in the early 1960s, it revolves around the accidental shooting of a black man by a white security guard.

Tragically relevant in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting, the play explores how racism—the blatant kind as well as the more insidious, subconscious kind—is passed down from one generation to the next. “In America we’re starting to have more serious conversations about race,” Goldfinger says, “and I’m hoping this play will contribute.”

About one-quarter of all the plays professionally produced in any given season are new works, according to a study conducted by the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia. This season has been an ambitious one in that regard: The city’s professional companies have already staged 25 world premieres, with more on the way.

One result of this focus on new plays is that Philadelphia’s top playwrights have now gained a national following. Throughout their careers, nearly all of Graham’s and Hollinger’s plays have debuted in Philadelphia. That’s changing now, with Graham’s Tide opening in Chicago and Hollinger’s Cyrano having had its world premiere at D.C.’s Folger Theater (where his collaborator, Aaron Posner, is an artistic associate). While Graham’s next two plays will debut at home—Mr. Hart and Mr. Brown at People’s Light & Theatre Company this summer in Malvern and North of the Boulevard in the fall at Theatre Exile—2013 will see him returning to Chicago with another Northlight commission, a barroom drama titled Stella and Lou. There are advantages, the playwrights note, to having their plays open in Philadelphia. “I can attend rehearsals easily,” Hollinger says. “I know the acting pool, I know the audiences, and it is really easy to keep my eye on the [production].”

Graham agrees—but adds that convenience and sentiment aren’t everything when it comes to the reality of getting a new play produced. “More of my plays will probably be opening out town in the future. I love Philly, but if other cities are willing to kick out some cash, hey, they get the play.” n

Slip/Shot opens April 11 at the Adrienne Theater and runs through May 5. TheOutgoing Tide runs at Philadelphia Theatre Company’s Suzanne Roberts Theatre through April 22.

Cyrano runs through April 15 at the Arden Theatre Company.

Boston reporter Chris Faraone offers his perspective on Occupy Philly in his new book 99 Nights With the 99 Percent.

Man about towns: Reporter Chris Faraone chronicled Occupations around the country—including Philly’s—for his new book.

n the third day of Occupy Philly’s encampment last October, Boston Phoenix reporter Chris Faraone hopped off a bus at the Greyhound Terminal on Filbert Street and went in search of an Occupy march he’d been monitoring on Twitter during his ride up from Baltimore.

Near the Liberty Bell, he found it, falling in with 200 or so chanting, sign-carrying Occupiers marching west toward City Hall.

“I was thinking, ‘OK, this is it, this is Occupy Philly,’” says Faraone. But as the group circled City Hall, he spotted another 500 marchers heading toward them from Love Park. And then he saw all the tents, the banners and the hundreds more Occupiers who had taken over Dilworth Plaza.

Holy shit, Faraone thought. “It was bigger than Occupy Wall Street. People were going nuts all over the place.”

As Faraone wandered around Dilworth, taking it all in with notepad in hand, the unyielding thunder from the giant drum circle battered his brain. He watched, amused, as a naked demonstrator darted through the boisterous sea of humanity, chased by two plainclothes Philly cops.

Eventually, Faraone ran into an old college buddy, an experienced activist, who just shook his head. “He said to me, ‘Man, this is absolute anarchy—nobody is really interested in listening to anything you have to say … it’s total chaos.’”

Based on what he saw, Faraone couldn’t help but agree. “The energy was great, but Philly just seemed so huge and pretty out of control at the beginning, especially compared to OWS or Boston,” he recalls.

“In retrospect, I don’t know if that hurt or helped. I think it might have hurt.”

Indeed: Less than two months later, Occupy Philly got the big, ugly boot from the city. Now, six months after the start, looking at Dilworth Plaza—reduced to rubble by construction crews—and considering the movement’s virtual invisibility since eviction, it feels like it never happened at all.

But it did, and Faraone wanted to ensure

that that revolutionary moment in time wasn’t forgotten. In addition to his intensive Phoenix coverage of Occupy Boston’s Dewey Square encampment from its beginning to its bitter end, the 32-year-old reporter—almost like a tornado chaser— traveled around America last fall and winter, visiting a dozen cities where Occupations touched down. Philadelphia was one of the earliest stops in his quest to gain a comprehensive, ground-level view of the movement.

Faraone’s odyssey is detailed in his illuminating and entertaining new book, 99 Nights With the 99 Percent: Dispatches from the First Three Months of the Occupy Revolution. It’s a time capsule of sorts— a collection of features, essays, profiles and blog posts originally published in the Phoenix (with brief hindsight observations prefacing each), along with a few previously unpublished pieces, photos galore and 100 haikus—or “Occupaikus,” as Faraone calls them—that provide a creative timeline of significant Occupy events around the nation during the last three months of 2011. (e.g. “Nov. 3, Day 48: Oakland is on fire/Flash bang grenades riot cops/Bad for tourism.”)

Throughout the fall, Faraone made a couple trips back to Philly, and even when he was back in Boston—or visiting camps in Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Ore., and elsewhere—he kept in touch with Philly Occupiers and an eye on their Internet livestream. And much of his reporting from Occupy Boston that appears in 99 Nights mirrors situations that went down here. Grifters embezzling Occupy funds.

Veteran activists passing on their wisdom to neophyte protesters. Tensions developing between Occupiers and city officials, or city residents hostile to the movement.

Occupiers dividing along racial lines.

The steady disintegration of the encampment with the influx of the city’s homeless population and the exodus of early Occupy organizers.

past, 99 Nights is also instructive going forward, especially in light of Occupy Philly emerging last weekend from what seemed like a winter hibernation with a temporary re-encampment at Independence Mall. Faraone’s writing—as well as his outsider perspective on Occupy Philly shaped by his extensive travels—offers local Occupiers a chance to consider what the movement got right and wrong as they plan their spring and summer initiatives.

cupy’s General Assembly procedures and protocols. “A lot of black people I spoke to were like, ‘You know what? Black people are really, really turned off by the whole standing-around-wiggling-your-fingers kinda thing,’” he says, alluding to the hand signals Occupiers used to support or reject proposals. “It really was a cultural thing.”

As racial divisions and resentments grew in the encampments, Faraone saw the difficulties Occupiers here and elsewhere had in bridging that gap. In 99 Nights, Faraone interviews Jamarhl Crawford of Boston’s Occupy the Hood group. Crawford’s comments echo many of the same concerns and frustrations black activists here expressed last fall about Occupy Philly—particularly that the movement was up-in-arms after just getting a taste of unemployment, wealth disparity, police harassment and other issues that had long afflicted minority communities. “[Occupy] should think about what it’s MICHAEL ALAN GOLDBERG

Occupy Philly, says Faraone, did plenty of good during its 56-day encampment last fall. “At its best, they’re an added and needed force to get people in the streets to protest these issues that truly affect your life,” he insists. At Dilworth, he adds, “it was great seeing political novices show up and start to read books by [social activist and historian] Howard Zinn and actually get educated. My guess is a lot of people became more educated during two months of Occupy Philly than they were before that at school.”

And one of Occupy Philly’s biggest points of pride—spooking U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) into canceling a speech about income inequality at Penn’s Wharton School in mid-October— was a watershed moment for the national movement, says Faraone. “Through that, Occupy showed it’s a force, that they scare people and they could really have an effect on the national debate.”

But if the colorful chaos of Occupy Philly’s first week or two quickly devolved into aimlessness and indecision—it wasn’t just media and critics of the movement who suggested that was the case, but also some Occupiers who grew frustrated with the lack of tangible accomplishments and bailed—Faraone says the disorganization may have had something to do with Philly’s close proximity to New York.

“A lot of the serious organizers from Philly had already got going on Wall Street, and sure, they’d come back and visit Philly but really they were Occupy Wall Street to the core,” he says. “People with that level of commitment, it would have been nice to have more of them in Philly all the time helping run the show.”

Some observers argued that the proudly leaderless movement perhaps could have used a leader—even locally, if not nationally—to make decisions and keep things on track and tightly focused. But, Faraone maintains, for the good of Occupy “that can’t happen. The way it works now, it’s hard for someone who’s having a hard time with the movement to look at this huge mass of messages and people and just write that off. But it’s very easy to look at one person and go, ‘Ohhh, OK, this asshole is running this? Forget it.’ It’s one of Occupy’s great strengths that it’s a freefor-all, but it can be a weakness, too, and Occupy Philly could have done a way better job of getting organized.”

Faraone also contends that most of the Occupations—Occupy Philly included— could have handled their media relations better. While commending the movement as a whole for trying to be transparent, Faraone says that from Wall Street to the

Bay Area he encountered a general mistrust, and sometimes hostility, toward the media; he recalls occasional flare-ups with Occupy reps who tried to lecture or scold veteran reporters on how they should be covering the movement.

“I don’t like being fuckin’ told what I can and cannot write,” says Faraone. He explains how he caught flak for his Nov. 14 Phoenix piece (which appears in 99 Nights) about Paul Fetch—a 27-year-old con man accused of embezzling hundreds, possibly thousands, of dollars from Occupy Boston, and who had previously gained some notoriety for his bizarre online persona and claims that he was the leader of the shadowy hacker collective Anonymous (Gawker had run a blog post about Fetch in 2008). Faraone called out Occupy Boston for not looking into Fetch’s background before entrusting him with their money.

“Had Occupiers done their homework—i.e.

Googled him—they’d have thought sooner to keep extra eyeballs on [him],” Faraone

wrote. The story embarrassed Occupy Boston, and Faraone became persona non grata around Dewey Square for a while.

“A lot of Occupiers wouldn’t talk to me because other Occupiers were mad at me for reporting that, but you bet your ass some people walked up to me at the camp saying, ‘Thank you for writing that story.’

Most of the ones that were mad, it wasn’t necessarily that they didn’t want the story to get out, they just wanted it out on their terms so they didn’t look bad. That kind of thing went on everywhere. They have a thing about controlling the message as tightly as possible.”

Faraone says that some of the most serious issues that plagued Occupy Philly also happened at most other encampments; situations few protesters envisioned when they initially gathered in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. For example, the movement’s difficulties in bringing people of color into the fold: Faraone blames something as simple and innocent as Oc-

like for a dude like me ... listening to a 24-year-old white kid talking about being brutalized by the police when they started arresting people,” Crawford told Faraone.

“Did any of them get killed? No. But where I’m from, people really do get brutalized and killed by police ... they need to realize that no matter what issue they’re worried about, my people probably suffer from it at an exponentially higher rate.”

That kind of understanding and education is “something [Occupy] needs to keep working on,” says Faraone, “but it’s getting better.”

Meanwhile, he sympathizes with Occupy Philly for its inability to handle the large numbers of homeless people who gravitated to Dilworth, as well as issues of mental health, drug and alcohol abuse, and sanitary conditions, and the movement’s difficulties negotiating with an increasingly fed-up city that wanted Occupy Philly gone. “It was such a debilitating, overwhelming thing, a huge challenge

everywhere, so I salute Philly for trying to deal with it as best they could,” says Faraone. “But by the end, nobody was thinking about the bigger issues like banks and corporate greed. It became about the cops and the cities and the courts. A lot of the purpose got lost. A lot of money got wasted—city money, Occupy money—and that’s unfortunate.”

Considering how it all ended, the notion of a new Occupy Philly encampment popping up somewhere in the city this spring makes Faraone uneasy. “I’ve had people say to me that if there are new occupations, they’re not gonna be indefinite,” he says. “If it happens I think it’ll be short-term, more symbolic. I think people are still scarred from the camps and the bad parts of that experience.”

“I don’t like to comment on what they should or shouldn’t be doing, but after everything that happened, the thought of re-occupying seems so deleterious to the ultimate goal, which is to create change, perhaps affect legislation, perhaps do something much bigger in this election year,” he adds.

Looking back, Occupier Dustin Slaughter—who emerged as Occupy Philly’s primary point person over the winter as OP regrouped and planned for its resurrection—agrees with many of the points Faraone raises.

“We needed to go about it more smartly,” Slaughter admits. “We should have reached out to more social work organizations to help with medical issues, mental-health issues, homeless issues, drug treatment, all that other stuff that occurred at the camp. That would have been a really good first step. We jumped into Dilworth and we had no idea what was coming down the pike until it hit us in the face. Things were definitely chaotic, but we recognize that we’ve made some mistakes [and] we have the energy to rectify those mistakes and improve.”

Slaughter also understands the criticisms of the GA process and how that may have alienated potential Occupy allies, particularly in communities of color.

“When I went up to Wall Street I’d never heard of anything like the GAs, and I was sitting there, like, ‘This is stupid,’” he says.

“For nine or 10 hours they weren’t doing anything except debating whether they should be putting up signs. But if you can get past the hand signals and the drawnout discussions about miniscule things it really does have an empowering effect for people who tend to be marginalized in our society. It gives people a chance to be heard, and it does keep people from talking over each other.”

Yet Occupy Philly is learning to be more accommodating; since eviction, the group uses a town-hall model during some of its outreach efforts. “If we go to a community center in North Philadelphia, we’ll put the GA process aside and just have conversations with people,” Slaughter explains.

“We definitely want to hold on to the [GA] protocols, but we need the flexibility to put that aside when we’re meeting new people so it’s not off-putting and aggravating.”

By the end, nobody was thinking about the bigger issues like banks and corporate greed.

It became about the cops and the cities and the courts. A lot of the purpose got lost. A lot of money got wasted—city money, Occupy money—and that’s unfortunate.”

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y A p r i l 1 1 - 17, 2 01 2 • 14

Much of Occupy Philly’s work over the winter months involved reaching out to the city’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods, and accordingly, many of the issues OP plans to spotlight and protest in the spring are ones that particularly affect those communities: Stop-andfrisk, police brutality, the youth curfew, failing public schools and home foreclosures. Slaughter says that keeping things Philly-centric will bring new people on board, particularly from black and Latino neighborhoods. “Addressing local issues is vitally important,” he notes, “but I also think that getting back to some of the themes that kicked off OWS—anger at the banks, corporate greed, campaign finance reform, the corporate state ruining our environment—those are the things we’re also putting into the messaging going forward in the spring, to let people know we haven’t lost focus of what Occupy is and what we’re trying to fight.”

One thing Slaughter profoundly disagrees with Faraone about is the need for another Dilworth-style long-term encampment.

“That visibility was absolutely crucial,” Slaughter contends. “Just being out in the open every single day and being able to have people walk into the camp and engage them in conversation—you can’t just rely on small news articles in the back of the paper about what Occupy Philly is doing. It just doesn’t work. It’s not enough.

The signature thing that Occupy represents is occupation, taking over a space, exercising the First Amendment right to assemble in a public space for the purpose of petitioning government for a redress of political grievances. Somehow we’ve got to do that again.”

But given the eventual shitstorm at Dilworth, does Occupy Philly actually think Mayor Nutter will give his blessing to a new camp?

“No,” Slaughter laughs. “Absolutely not.

And that’s the quandary, right? There’s no way the city would ever go through that again.”

Last week, Occupy Philly chose Independence Mall—a national park under federal jurisdiction—for a test run at re-occupation (sans permit). Slaughter reasoned that location was “much more appealing than taking a city park, where we’re guaranteed to get evicted within a

couple hours.”

On Friday, about 100 Occupy Philly members—many of the same faces seen regularly at Dilworth and who’ve been part of the Occupy meetings over the winter—held a rally at Rittenhouse Square before marching over to the Mall.

They hoisted signs, ate pizza, banged on bongos, played a rough game of touch football (perhaps an attempt to demonstrate they’re not elitist hippies), set up some tents on the concrete—symbolic, since they weren’t allowed, according to park rules, to sleep in the tents or anywhere else on the grounds (some slept on the sidewalk in front of the Wells Fargo building across the street), had General Assemblies and led discussions about the Constitution, women’s issues, racial politics and citizen journalism. For two days, a dozen or so park rangers kept an eye on things from a distance, but on Sunday evening the Occupiers were peacefully evicted.

Whether Occupy attempts to apply for a permit and return to the Mall and stay longer (and if so, how the feds might react) or find another space in the city to erect a camp remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, thousands of Occupiers from around the country are expected to descend on the Mall for a national Occupy convention on June 30-July 4. Faraone plans to be there, and he’s curious to see if Occupy Philly, and other Occupations, can actually establish new permanent encampments before then. Regardless, he intends to hit the road again this spring to see how the next phase of the revolution materializes, because even though his book has been published, the story seems far from over.

“At the very least, Occupy has activated the next generation of teachers, social workers, journalists—people who give a shit about other human beings,” says Faraone. “That’s already happened.

Maybe the [Occupy] brand doesn’t seem as hot as it was. But there are all sorts of people out there that are still a part of this, from raging grannies to raging anarchists, and when you see that, you realize there’s room for the movement to keep growing.”

“It only takes somebody losing their job to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh and start going to Occupy meetings.” ■

Scenes From

99 Nights A

s a staff writer for the Boston Phoenix, Chris Faraone—an unabashed lefty—typically writes about the social and economic issues that affect Boston’s working-class and poverty-stricken neighborhoods. The arrival of Occupy Wall Street in mid-September dropped right into his wheelhouse.

“I’m unbelievably sympathetic to the movement and I was driven to cover it because when Occupy Boston started I looked around and it was my Rolodex from the past 10 years of covering shit in Boston—every activist, protester, community organizer,” he says. “They’re talking about things I write about and I care about.”

But Faraone didn’t find it difficult to maintain objectivity, and sometimes wield a critical pen, in his Occupy coverage. “I wasn’t just going to be a cheerleader for the movement.” In his book, 99 Nights With the 99 Percent: Dispatches from the First Three Months of the Occupy Revolution, Faraone documents his experiences covering Occupy encampments all across the country. Below is an excerpt about the beginning of Faraone’s journey along with his experiences at Occupy Philly. (M.A.G.)

Zuccotti Park was first. Dewey Square followed. By the time the “Phoenix” staff showed up at Occupy Boston to hold our weekly editorial meeting last Wednesday, the Boston squatters were no longer the new kids on America’s occupied block—and the protest was escalating before our eyes. Occupiers were facing off with cops wielding fistfuls of plastic cuffs, busloads of union nurses were arriving, and Cornel West parachuted in to lay down some throwback Civil Rights vocals.

I looked at my editors. They looked at me. This thing was live and spreading up and down the coast like red tide. I knew there was only one thing to say: “I’ll leave in the morning.”

I would fly down to Washington immediately, and train and bus my way back toward the heart of the outbreak in Manhattan, stopping every place along the way where the 99 percent has taken hold. I wanted to see where it all might be headed—if, in three weeks, Occupy Boston might look like Occupy Wall Street, and if the other mass actions spawning in the Hub’s wake might come to resemble the scene unfolding here.

PHILLY: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8 Occupy Philly is like Occupy Baltimore without Ritalin, and with a whole lot more tents, people, and percussion.

Just two days in, Dilworth Plaza outside of City Hall is already host to a 1000plus Philly bash to rival Will Smith’s “Summertime” video, with teach-ins in mid-lesson, animated Hare Krishnas bouncing like deflated basketballs, and an overall mood that’s more festive than organized.

Even cops can’t help but nod to the drum circle’s rhythms, while cliques of pot crusaders, war veterans, and other breeds of radical proudly reflect on an earlier group march to the Liberty Bell. It’s the party of the week; a cadre of Temple co-eds, who are not at all involved with Occupy, tell me that they came to watch the freaks before going out clubbing. They’re drinking vodka cocktails out of not-so-clandestine Gatorade bottles.

This place already has the most sophisticated tech department I’ve seen yet – powered by eight slabs of solar thrust – and it’s a good thing that they’re wired. Already there is little chance of accomplishing much at Philly assemblies; tonight’s devolves into poorly projected mayhem at the get-go. Around the perimeter, dozens of punks with dirty dreads and painful piercings talk over the discussion, while emotions start to fly in the front as grievances are aired over permit issues and how to picket the imperialistic Columbus Day. I cup my ear, attempting to hear what folks are saying in the frazzled assembly, but can’t make much out. So I ask a volunteer from the book table for a synopsis.

He didn’t hear either, but assures me that’s okay. “As a group we’ve got no clue what the hell we’re doing,” he says while stroking his beard, “but there sure are a whole fucking lot of us.” ■

n its face, the idea could hardly have seemed more naive. In early 2009, the media industry was going through what must have felt like its death throes, as newspapers across the country laid off staff and instituted unpaid furloughs. And those were the lucky ones. Others, like the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News, filed for bankruptcy protection. A few shuttered their doors forever.

Despite all of this, three then-recent Temple University graduates decided to roll the dice and launch their own media startup. While most of their former classmates struggled to find jobs in a beleaguered industry, Sean Blanda, Christopher Wink and Brian James Kirk—all veterans of Temple’s student newspaper—decided to give themselves job titles. Instead of “freelance writer” or “blogger”, they anointed themselves “co-founders” and launched Technically Philly, a news website dedicated to covering technology news in and around Philadelphia.

“It didn’t cost anything but our time, and we had a decent amount of that,” says Blanda, who pulled the technical pieces together while Kirk led the branding effort and Wink focused on business and editorial direction.

“We just launched it,” says Wink, “and started going to events just to see if there was any real action in the Philly tech scene.”

Three years later, Technically Philly has evolved into Technically Media, a company that not only publishes a local tech-news site, but plans to expand to other cities, starting with Baltimore this summer. In the meantime, the trio does digital publishing consulting for nonprofits—and hosts increasingly well-trafficked events.

The culmination of their event-planning work will come the last week in April, when the company hosts the second annual Philly Tech Week. Starting on April 20, the region will be the site of more than 80 technology-related events, ranging from advanced coding and robotics to entrepreneurship and design. Everything from technology’s impact on music and culture to its role in solving some of the city’s most deep-rooted problems will be explored by academics, journalists, entrepreneurs, hobbyists and curious citizens alike.

Last year, the inaugural Tech Week drew more than 4,000 attendees, 30,000 visits to its website and a flood of coverage in both new and traditional media. City Council even passed a resolution declaring Philly Tech Week an official citywide celebration. That success paved the way for an even bigger event this year, complete with big-name sponsors like AT&T, Comcast and Microsoft, in addition to a long list of local businesses, tech startups, universities and media partners.

One of the flagship happenings in the series is a presentation called Switch Philly, in which five local startups will demonstrate what their young companies do, and a panel of judges will vote for the best one. This year, that panel includes venture capitalist Josh Kopelman and Mayor Nutter. It’s the kind of event that happens too regularly to keep track of in the Silicon Valley. For Philadelphia, it happening even annually signals the slow emergence of a legitimate, thriving tech scene.

It’s also emblematic of Technically Philly’s post-millennial approach to covering its beat.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y A p r i l 1 1 - 17, 2 01 2 •

On the national level, technology news is practically covered to death. Traditional outlets like The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times chase the same scoops as newer, web-only players like TechCrunch, ReadWriteWeb and Engadget. Anyone who follows general tech news has no shortage of sources stumbling over one another to deliver it to them, sometimes in regurgitated form.

Locally, it’s a very different story. The Technically Media trio noticed that while many local news outlets sometimes touched on technology, nobody was drilling down aggressively enough to cover Philly’s tech scene as thoroughly as they believed was warranted. “There was just a huge hole in the marketplace,” says Blanda.

When they first started out, the trio worked out of their apartments, cold-calling wouldbe advertisers from their cell phones. Today,

they occupy offices at 15th and Market streets, a few floors above the Center City campus of their alma mater.

Getting to this point wasn’t without its challenges, though.

Between the three of them, there was plenty of student journalism experience, lots of tech know-how and very little business savvy. That took time, self-education and what Wink describes as “really embarrassing cold calls and conversations” to get beyond.

“I remember shaking while doing my first sales calls,” says Wink. “As journalists, we’ve all spoken to people far more important, but calling the manager of a tech organization who we’re asking for a $100 ad from—that was more nerve-wracking.”

Over time, they realized that their future as a media organization would have to go beyond simple reporting and ad sales. As

digital media pundits like Jeff Jarvis were proselytizing, a sustainable news operation would have to rely heavily on other forms of community connectivity.

It hit them during a chat about Philly Beer Week: If the city could spend a week celebrating a beverage, why not do the same for technology? There were already plenty of cool tech events—it was just a matter of organizing them into a single seven-day period.

Even though events like Philly Tech Week don’t seem like they serve a traditionally journalistic purpose, its organizers see it differently. Wink suggests that the “middleman” role Technically Media now plays within the local technology community isn’t that different from what newspapers once did. “Philly Tech Week is much more actionable than writing a story and things of that nature,” says Kirk. >>> continued on page 20

>>> “I think in terms of mission, that’s where we want to continue to be. Hopefully, it will mean making cities better through technology, not just Philadelphia.”

As far as the three partners are concerned, that focus on action means more than just helping the tech community socially network through events. It means joining forces with city government itself to help citizens network on the most basic level.

Broadband Internet access, in Philly as in every major city, is a critical issue. That’s why, in 2005, then-Mayor John Street announced the Wireless Philadelphia initiative. The ambitious plan was set in place to blanket the entire city with one gigantic, affordable Wi-Fi network and add another “Philadelphia first” to the history books at a time when the city could have used the good press.

Wireless Philadelphia was a brutal failure.

The network, the construction of which was contracted out to Internet service provider Earthlink, was supposed to go live in late 2007. Then its deadline was pushed to early 2008. The relationship between the city and Earthlink got complicated fast, and ultimately the Atlanta-based company failed to make enough money from the project to sustain it. After axing its municipal project in New Orleans, it backed out of Philadelphia as well.

That didn’t help the city’s most underserved neighborhoods, many of which have abysmally low levels of broadband Internet access. As many as 55 percent of Philadelphia residents don’t have at-home access to the Web, according to one estimate. This fact is expected, naturally, to have serious consequences for the city’s future. A report released recently by IBM and the city estimates that by 2030, some 600,000 Philadel-

phians will lack the digital skills necessary to compete in the job market.

Mayor Nutter seems to be making digital literacy and Internet access as much of a priority as his administration can afford to.

On April 5, Nutter unveiled Connect Philly, a service designed by Technically Philly that allows residents to find local Internet access points online or by sending a text message to 215.240.7296. After texting their address to that number, which can be done from just about any cell phone, citizens will receive a list of the nearest cafes, libraries and other public locations from which they can access the Internet.

The company sees public-interest initiatives like this as a necessary part of the new media landscape. “It’s a great example of what journalism can be,” says Wink. “Brian did reporting on digital-access issues, found there was a lack of understanding around access to wireless hotspots and found there was no clear data set.” Kirk then coordinated the partnerships he viewed as necessary to ensure Connect Philly was properly publicized. Technically Philly’s relationships with city officials, Kirk says, don’t jeopardize the site’s objectivity—they enhance its reporting. He likens it to the Inquirer collaborating with the Philadelphia Police Department to publish official data about crime in the city.

“We’ve grown to become a convener and catalyst for the technology community here,” says Kirk. “We think news operations should take action and assume responsibility, when appropriate, to better that community.” ■ Philly Tech Week kicks off with Startup Weekend, Fri., April 20, 5pm.

T

onight’s screening of Brazilian director Júlia Murat’s Found Memories marks the launch of the Filadelfia Latin American Film Festival. The details aren’t yet finalized, but FLAFF will showcase films by Latin American and Latino directors at various venues across the city over the next year. This debut feature film by Murat—the daughter of journalist, television producer and awardwinning director Lúcia Murat—is set in Jotuombo, a fictitious Brazilian village populated by a very small group of elderly people. They lead an extremely isolated, nonreflective existence until a young photographer, Rita, shows up and starts uncovering the villagers’ histories. Rita develops a close bond with Madalena, one of the women of Jotuombo, and their friendship gradually reveals profound similarities that transcend their seemingly conflicted identities. Show up early for a pre-movie party, and stay late for a post-screening discussion with Found Memories producer Julia Solomonoff. elliott Sharp Fri., April 13, 7pm. $30.

Vanities Quince Productions, the city’s most lively gay theater company, takes a departure from its usual LGBT fare with Jack Heifner’s unapologetically frothy comedy Vanities. Told over a span of 11 years beginning in 1963, the play focuses on three high school cheerleaders in a small Texas town who know a lot about fashion but nothing about football. We catch up with them again in college in 1968 and finally at a reunion in 1974 Manhattan. The play doesn’t try to be groundbreaking, but there is something irresistible about this fabulously ditzy trio of Texas teens as they try to navigate the shifting and turbulent tides of a nation in the midst of an identity crisis.

Lay of the Land

• 26

A few weeks ago, queer performance artist Tim Miller was the focus of local media attention when Villanova University bowed to pressure from conservative Catholic organizations and rescinded its invitation to the outspoken Miller to conduct an identity workshop on the school’s Main Line campus. This week, the artist finally hits town at InterAct Theatre Company, which is presenting Miller and his celebrated one-man play Lay of the Land as part of its Outside the Frame: Voices from the Other America Festival. Miller says he created Land in response to the passage of the homophobic ballot initiative Proposition 8,

which effectively outlawed same-sex unions in California. Drawing on memories from his own life while simultaneously exploring the systematic homophobia that devalues all LGBT Americans, Miller describes Land as his attempt to “see what I can salvage of my relationship to my country that treats gay folks so inhumanely.” J.C.r.

Plugging Ezra Furman’s name into Google turns up results that focus on Ezra Furman & the Harpoons, his indie-folk band, but the San Francisco resident has been carving out a respectable solo career for himself lately, too. The new The Year of No Returning indicates that the former Chicagoan is growing more comfortable with his lyrical and vocal quirks as he ages.

Furman croons like a forlorn drifter in “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde,” whereas on “That’s When It Hit Me,” he uses spirited shouts to paint this fantastic portrait of what happens when love literally hits you. (The song begins with talk of a shattered collarbone.) Furman’s also showed a willingness to poke fun at his own image, which is always a good omen. “I was supposed to be a wide-eyed sort of singer-songwriter, but I don’t feel like that anymore,” he said during a recent South by Southwest performance. “Too bad, marketing team.” reyaN ali

Massachusetts-based noise thrashers Converge have been kicking around so long, it’s hard to imagine a time when they weren’t sending kids into a moshing frenzy. Old jaded bastards who need their diapers changed often bellyache how Converge appropriated the sound mined by ’90s hardcore bands such as Rorschach or Born Against and shot it through to a wider, more testosterone-fueled audience.

But anyone from any age bracket with half a brain and a set of decent working ears knows the band has simply taken the controlled cacophony of such bands and experimented with it enough to make it their own gorgeously grotesque child; end of story. If any of you fogies still got qualms, feel free to come down to the gig and observe their power for yourself.

Puppet Slam When you think about it, most puppets aren’t kid-friendly. They usually have saucy attitudes and quick wits totally lost on children. Which is why it’s no surprise that the Walking Fish Theatre’s Puppet Slam night is adult-only. Shortform puppet artists, mask workers and object manipulators will perform two-to-10-minute vignettes, including some of the raunchiest, most risque, most tender and tear-jerking stuff to ever come from marionettes and paper mache. Stick around after the show for short film screenings and live music. AbIgAIl bRuleY 7pm and 9pm. $12-$15. The Walking Fish Theatre, 2509 Frankford Ave. walkingfishtheater.com

Cheers Elephant

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y A p r i l 1 1 - 17, 2 01 2

If you search for Chubby Checker on YouTube, you’ll find the father of rock ’n’ roll duetting with Keith Richards, Jerry Lee Lewis and, ahem, Philadelphia’s Cheers Elephant. The band’s Cinderella moment came on The Bill Henley Show last year, when Cheers Elephant was tapped as back-up for “The Twist.” They may not have looked the part, wearing untucked shirts and wool caps to Checker’s tuxedo, but they nailed the song, earning a Higgins-esque “I think we’ve got it,” from the R&B icon. The band also nails its latest album, Like Wind Blows Fire, a punchy, crisply defined power pop that recalls 1960s icons like the Kinks, the Who and the Zombies. JeNNIfeR KellY 2:30pm. $10.

Kinky Karnival

• 28

Philadelphians MC—the city’s longest-running gay men’s leather club—aren’t just interested in burly chests and beer-soaked bashes. The kinky klub also gives back to the LGBT community. Its current project, dubbed Operation Tea Room, is helping to renovate the William Way Community Center’s restroom. As part of this urinal upgrade, the guys are holding a fund-raiser mixing leather with laughter.

Their tongue-in-cheek take on a Chinese auction features items unlikely to appear in a church basement raffle, including a genuine all-leather California Highway Patrol uniform.

Mr. Philadelphia Drag King Competition

L

iberty City Kings Drag & Burlesque is looking for a few good men. With Rasta Boi Punany’s reign as Mr. Philadelphia Drag King coming to an end, LiCK is searching for the next chick who’s man enough to represent. The competition will be fierce, but seven strapping lads have already stepped up to vie for the crown. They’ll be put through their paces by a panel of judges, including Elicia Gonzales, executive director of the Gay and Lesbian Latino AIDS Education Initiative. Fabulous emcee, the Notorious OMG, will keep things moving as each contestant attempts to prove their mettle in four events: runway, performance, Q&A, and formal/fantasy wear.

The victor gets to take home the ceremonial tool belt, a goodie bag of “marital aids”—courtesy of Passional Boutique—and bragging rights for a year. Most importantly, the event will help raise cash for the upcoming Dyke March. RAYMOND SIMON

LGBT

1966 mindfuck. Still, the most popular take is that it concerns two characters—a recently mute actress (Liv Ullmann) and her younger, far gabbier nurse (Bibi Andersson)—swapping personalities. It doesn’t, not if you’re paying attention. But honestly, any single, simple interpretation is bound to ruin what is a genuinely mysterious film, one whose impact on David Lynch is fairly aggressive. That being said, Persona does function as a surprisingly trenchant portrait of forced roommates. Ullmann and Andersson play an odd couple shifting from relaxed cohabitation into emotional violence so severe that one nasty interaction literally burns the film. Bergman’s bleak insights into human relations help ground a cryptic work—but, of course, that’s only scraping at the most obvious aspect of an actual original. MAtt PRIgge

Steve Lehman Trio Steve Lehman came to town last year and performed his “Nos Revi Nella” for alto sax and string quartet. That’s backward for Allen Iverson—a man Lehman sees not just as a point guard but a great “spatial improviser.”

Basketball as music? It makes sense when one hears Lehman’s skewed abstract rhythm and surging forward momentum, well captured on his 2009 octet disc Travail, Transformation and Flow. On his new Dialect Fluorescent, Lehman pares down to a trio and deconstructs music by Coltrane, Duke Pearson and Jackie McLean, in addition to his own. Bassist Chris Tordini subs for Matt Brewer on what will be a flame-throwing album release gig. DAvID R. ADleR 8pm. Free. The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut St. 215.573.3234. arsnovaworkshop.org

Shabazz Palaces Ishmael Butler was born in Seattle, but he lived briefly in Philadelphia after college. With the 1992 formation of his rap trio Digable Planets, Butler became Butterfly. The group’s debut, Reachin’ (A New Refutation Of Time and Space), earned a Grammy, and its followup, Blowout Comb, remains one of the brightest, albeit overlooked, hip-hop gems of the decade.

When the Planets split, Butterfly vanished, but re-emerged as Palaceer Lazaro 15 years later. His new group Shabazz Palaces’ debut LP, Black Up, was the most sonically adventurous rap album of 2011. Atop its fragmented, Afro-sci-fi beat-textures, Lazaro spits supreme wisdom equally applicable to the streets and the outermost regions of the galaxy. ellIOtt ShARP 8pm. $15-$17. With !!!

Buddy Guy It’s appropriate that Buddy Guy should find success the last quarter century, because no blues artist of the last 50 years connects so well with modern sensibilities. It’s what held him back at Chess Records. While an in-demand session guitarist, he was given little chance to showcase his wild, noisy side.

Notable for his hurricanes of distortion and lightning runs, he inspired Eric Clapton to start a power trio, presaged Jimi Hendrix and shaped Stevie Ray Vaughan. That his last release, Living Proof, won his fifth Grammy in the last two decades, is a testament both to his legend and continued vitality. chRIS PARKeR 8pm. $36-$52.

ome restaurants are easy to love—they have delicious food served in a great location at an affordable price. Others are more difficult. Perhaps the location is cool, the price is right, but the food falls flat. Or maybe the food is unreal and reasonably priced, but the restaurant is out of the way. For Fishtown’s the Pickled Heron, it’s even tougher.

This one-room BYOB is the kind of place you hope to love. Owned by couple Todd Braley and Daniela D’Ambrosio, who met working under Terence Feury at the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, the Pickled Heron specializes in modern interpretations of French-American fare.

This far-flung spot could be a vibrant showcase of their nascent collaborations in the kitchen—if it hangs in there long enough for everything to come together.

The location alone is a tough sell, a good walk from the Berks stop on the El through a neighborhood that could be generously described as up-and-coming. Cafes and galleries share space with long-entrenched corner bars and vacant lots. Street parking isn’t tough to find, but it’s not the kind of place anyone outside of the neighborhood is likely to drop by on a whim.

That “destination dining” appeal makes sense when you examine the Heron’s menu. Appetizers run from $7 to $18, with entrees topping out at $24. Clearly, as a BYOB, they hope to draw a crowd from Center City and beyond with their food, rather than create a neighborhood spot for locals to frequent. Which is too bad, because the food only inconsistently merits either the price or the trip.

Chefs Braley and D’Ambrosio turn out a seared foie gras that ranks among my favorites in town, expertly cooked without a hint of over-searing and served over a golden raisin and black pepper jam that is both a sweet foil and a thoughtful complement to the faintly metallic character of the foie. Caramelized brioche underneath it all adds crunch and heft; this is a gorgeous appetizer.

Seared scallops are tender clouds drifting on sunchoke puree and a scattering of toothsome fava beans, the entire dish brightened by a judicious squeeze of lemon: early spring on a plate. The house-cured charcuterie includes mortadella with pistachios that is subtly sweetened with a hint of clove and brings life to the otherwise dry housebaked bread.

But for these highlights, there are twice as many missteps. The spring garlic soup, creamy and light, lacks salt despite a handful of duck prosciutto lurking beneath the surface. Veal breast is prepared porchetta-style, but the delicate flavor of the meat is lost, no match for the heavily breaded, fried white-bean cake served alongside; it’s essentially a refried bean croquette. Grilled octopus salad is chewy and lacks the vibrant punch of citrus that might have brightened it; an accompanying blood orange vinaigrette is oversweet.

Other house-cured charcuterie is dull, with smoked duck sausage lacking intensity. Crispy head cheese is another breaded-and-fried patty, tasty but indistinguishable as meat (my companion initially thought it was mushrooms). Sweet potato gnocchi are distressingly gummy, served with overcooked Brussels sprouts, slices of chestnut and lumps of goat cheese in a dish whose flavors I adored but whose texture was paste-like enough to keep me from cleaning my plate.

Like the kitchen, service is a touch green, but trying very hard. The white tablecloths suggest a gentility that never quite gels; more than once, our water glasses go empty in a dining room that is less than half-full and our white wine—sent away to chill—doesn’t come back until our first dish is on the table and we’ve asked for it. Generally, though, the team is trying: They are knowledgeable about the food and helpful without hovering.

One hopes that the Pickled Heron will survive long enough to correct the errors in their execution—or adjust their service and price point to reflect what they really are: an ambitious new neighborhood restaurant with some great ideas, worthy of being given a chance, but not yet worthy of a trip and the best bottle from your cellar. n

hree days before his show was set to open at Old City’s Gallery 309, Justin Duerr still had no idea what would be in it. “I’m just going to drop off a whole bunch of stuff and let the curator choose,” he said. And he’s right; there’s no shortage of material for Stranger Things Have Never Happened.

Duerr, who has no formal art training, has been working since the mid-’90s on an epic series of interconnected drawings whose mythology and iconography is so intricate that visitors will be encouraged to study them through magnifying glasses. “There are so many little pieces.”

Duerr says of the show, which was curated

by Robert Bullock, director of Coalition Ingenu (a nonprofit that promotes the work of self-taught artists). “You could spend hours and hours and hours going through and looking at them all.”

As the magnifying glasses might attest, Duerr is a remarkably persistent and philosophical sleuth. His obsession with discovering the truth behind a series of mysterious tiles embedded in city streets (including Philly’s) around North and South America is well-documented in filmmaker Jon Foy’s celebrated 2011 documentary, Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles (which will be screened twice during the run of the show).

“People go looking for truth in big ways and in big places and they can find it. But if you look at things that much smaller, you can find a lot of meaning in them if you

choose to,” Duerr says. He means this very literally, as his drawings are comprised of infinitesimally detailed vignettes. And, they’ve all been drafted on one continuous roll of paper. (Duerr works from home whenever he has time, unrolling the paper onto his kitchen floor and then rolling it all back up for easy storage.)

“They’re really a crime of convenience,” he admits. Eschewing oils and canvas for more modest highlighters, markers and pens, Duerr says he uses those materials because “that’s what’s on hand.” But these Office Max utensils also serve to underline his broader point that “there’s truth to be found in very humble places.”

When asked about his influences, Duerr goes ancient, saying that an exhibition of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in the 1980s made a huge impression on him. “That’s when I really started to draw.

That opened up a little portal in my brain and I started to think about language.”

Enthralled by the idea that writing would have been considered magical during a time when most people were illiterate, Duerr began incorporating text into his images. Since then, both textual and pictorial elements have entwined to form intricate patterns that to some viewers, look too complex to have been drawn by hand. “They assume it’s made by machine,” he says. But for Duerr, who’s steadily worked on these drawings for more than a decade, process is everything. “I feel like we’ve been numbed to the intensity of the handmade [object].”

In this endeavor, Duerr follows his own logic and his investigations consistently lead to one, overarching insight: It’s all connected. The continuous nature of the scroll lends itself to Duerr’s everaccumulating narrative. “I’ve always had this idea that if I ever received a death notice, I’d do a drawing that connected them all together so that they’d go in a cyclorama.” Happily, nothing’s come full circle yet. In its current installation, Duerr’s drawings read from left to right across the gallery wall; a wild saga penned in neon hieroglyphics, legible only to those who love to pry. n

Six Pack Six Filmmakers Who Use Music in Original Ways

Think of the Children!

Bully focuses more on shameless marketing than actually helping terrorized kids.

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com

Kenneth Anger: George Lucas and Martin Scorsese were among the first mainstream filmmakers to extensively use pop music in movies, and both cited Kenneth Anger’s Scorpio Rising as an influence.

Indeed, most filmmakers—from Wes Anderson on down—can thank Anger’s innovatively homoerotic 1964 portrait, whose wedding of ’50s and ’60s pop to the sight of leather-bound bikers birthed another era of music-on-film thinking.

Jean-Luc Godard: The use of music in the films of the most curmudgeonly French New Waver is as combative as the rest of his filmmaking. Music will often stop mid-scene, then pick up unannounced. In Contempt, he repeated the same theme with comic frequently. This would become one of the many tricks Wong Kar-Wai borrowed from Godard, as when Chungking Express blasted “California Dreamin’” roughly 12 times in an hour.

Woody Allen: Because no one has his record collection.

Terence Davies: Postwar England is summoned up in the mood pieces of Terence Davies, and to do that he needs its sounds. Distant Voices, Still Lives ; The Long Day Closes; and Of Time and the City routinely stop dead for songs, some rarely heard since their heyday and usually played in their entirety. The songs demonstrate how popular music soothes and unites people and operate as a palliative for life’s ritualistic miseries.

Spike Lee: Where most filmmakers set the rhythm of their films to that of the music on top of it, Lee likes music that deliberately doesn’t fit, and is often obtrusive. Lee’s favorite trick is bombastic music over top comparatively calm scenes; witness it most glaringly with father Bill’s score to Do the Right Thing.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y A p r i l 1 1 - 17, 2 01 2

Olivier Assayas: There are many unique ways to use music in films; France’s Assayas is one of the few genuinely finding those ways. In Cold Water, the ’70s dad rock playlist at a raging high school party is for the most part ignored, both by the revelers and Assayas’ roaming camera. In Clean, non-diegetic Brian Eno tracks (notably “Spider and I”) echo the heartache consuming Maggie Cheung’s recovering junkie. Carlos uses ’80s synth pop and lots of Wire for a story mostly set a decade before their existence.

No one uses music quite like Olivier Assayas. n

screen The Hunter

Grade: C+ Review by Matt Prigge

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y A p r i l 1 1 - 17, 2 01 2

There are two movies occurring simultaneously in the Aussie not-quite-thriller The Hunter. One is a Herzogian plunge into nature, with a mysterious mercenary (Willem Dafoe, reliably haunted) methodically tracking a rare animal through thick forest.

The other is a (mostly) routine drama where a curmudgeonly loner (also Dafoe) slowly learns to tolerate others thanks to the persistent persnicketiness of a pair of obtrusive children. (Sam Neill, who once performed this very jig in Jurassic Park, even periodically swings by to see how Dafoe is faring.)

One storyline routinely and rudely interrupts the other, and it will depend on the particular moviegoer to determine which they’d rather be watching.

At the very least, all can agree the thread where Dafoe slowly prowls through wilderness is the less familiar. On a vague an ominous-sounding assignment from a pharmaceutical company, Dafoe’s Martin David heads to Tasmania to track and procure the allegedly extinct Tasmanian tiger.

Scene after scene finds Martin by himself, wordless and accompanied only by the White Noise Box din of Mother Nature, as he calmly stalks about, sets up traps and breaks out his weaponry. One exposition-free block of cuts finds him shooting an animal, ripping out its entrails against a tree, tossing the carcass and attaching its organs to sticks as bait.

Even with Martin’s micro-actions, a palpable mood is cast. Alas, Martin has to eat and sleep, and routinely retreats to his rented room in a rural house overrun by a depressed single mom (Frances O’Connor) and her young spawn Sass (Morgana Davies) and Bike (Finn Woodlock). While Bike is mute, Davies gabs incessantly. Davies periodically brightened the wan thumb-twiddler The Tree, and works similar magic here, her work both softening the blow of an annoying storyline and providing humor in a film that without her could have been humorless.

There’s actually a third movie in The Hunter, namely a conspiracy-cum-coverup that starts out hazy but never convinces even as it becomes better defined. The three elements never coalesce, particularly thanks to a brief length that necessitates a rushed conclusion. But should some minimalist— Chantal Akerman, perhaps?—want to make a movie where a brooding Willem Dafoe skulks about a forest for hours, at least one viewer will be game. n

The Cabin in the Woods Grade: BReview by Sean Burns

• 40

So this horny jock and his ditzy blonde girlfriend drag a sweet virgin, a studly nice guy and a comic-relief stoner off-campus for a party weekend in a remote cabin. But all the hormone-drenched decadence comes to an abrupt halt when these beautiful young folks start getting picked off one at a time by ghastly monsters beyond their limited imagi nations. We’ve all seen this movie at least a hundred times, right?

Not exactly.

With some help on the screenplay side from reigning emperor of snark Joss Whedon, director Drew Goddard’s The Cabin in the Woods conjures a nifty alternative explanation for all those musty slasher-flick tropes, cheerfully deconstructing its own cliches as it goes along.

One must tread lightly here, as giving awa too many of this picture’s crafty conceits would pretty much negate its entire reason for being. This is one fiendish little prank of a movie.

All I can safely reveal is that our stereotypi cal boobs-and-blood pastoral is cross-cut with the inner machinations of a sterile, flourescent-lit underground bunker. Two sardonic, white-collar middle-managers played by the invaluable Richard Jenkins an Bradley Whitford traipse around in beaurocratic drudgery, orchestrating the film’s shock effects according to a rigid formula provided by “The Director.”

So, essentially, we’re watching a crummy horror film make itself, with sly commentar from the peanut gallery. The effect is sort of like Scream crossed with that final sequence from Woody Allen’s Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask) in which sperm cells were portrayed as paratroopers.

Give The Cabin in the Woods credit for coming up with enough twists to keep its one-joke premise fresh for the entire runnin time. Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has earned demi-god status on the Internet for his ability to flatter savvy viewers, and there’s no denying that the man knows how to turn a phrase in the dialogue department.

But something about his style always strikes me as too clever by half, and Cabin is perfectly enjoyable without ever quite feelin like there’s anything at stake. A better versio of this movie would have found a way to be scary, too. n

The stars of meta-thriller The Cabin in the Woods discuss the pornification of horror movies.

t wasn’t an easy time sitting down with The Cabin in the Woods stars Kristen Connolly and Fran Kranz for an interview. The studio had issued a stern NO SPOILERS warning, to a point where three babysitters were perched in the back of the room, listening in on our conversation. I hope you’ll forgive the occasional awkward pauses and subject changes. But Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon’s metadeconstructionist horror movie is a picture worth talking about. The effusive young Connolly and her boisterous pal Kranz seemed to agree.

that made us feel like we were placing ourselves within the history of horror films, and what we were doing was important to the genre and we should treat this as something that should be one of those classics … and I think it will be. It was cool to place ourselves within the canon.

KC: It didn’t feel like some horror movie nobody gave a shit about.

PW: So what do you think it says about the audience? In the end you’re comparing the crowd for slasher movies to a bunch of bloodthirsty monsters who will revolt and destroy the world.

PW: I’m interested in how you approached these roles, because basically you’re playing archetypes in a movie within a movie.

FK: Interesting. I haven’t thought about it

Kristen Connolly: Our approach was to

been a real devouring of these torture-porn movies. I think I saw Hostel, but I haven’t seen any of the Saw movies …

just play it straight, and not worry about the archetype stuff. To just be a group of friends who really loved each other. I think a lot of other factors in the movie do the work for you. Like the costumes … the way that Anna’s shorts get shorter as the movie goes on …

PW: I noticed.

KC: Yeah, and like Jesse gets a pair of glasses, and Chris gets a letterman’s jacket, while I get more buttoned up and wear a cardigan. wanted us to play it naturally and go for the reality of the situation. There was nothing tongue-in-cheek about the performances.

Maybe I did a little bit, but I thought my character could get away with that as the fifth-wheel comic relief.

KC: The Shakespearean fool.

PW: How much research you did on horror movies from the 1980s?

KC: We watched the Evil Dead movies, and I think the first Friday the 13th movie?

FK: I think Halloween was in there … The

PW: You’re lucky.

KC: I find them so upsetting! I saw Hostel and was like—this is the most upsetting, awful movie I have ever seen! I hated it. I probably shouldn’t say all this stuff. But it is a question that is worth asking: Why are we, as a culture, so obsessed with watching young people tortured … for what? For going on vacation?

PW: They’re better looking than you and they have sex, so they need to die.

KC: Not only need to die, they need to die, like, really painfully!

PW: It always seems to be penetration or puncture wounds, I never figured that out.

Freud probably could.

KC: Yeah! Horrible!

FK: Oh, jeez. Well, I always thought it was kind of a neat idea that our movie is where horror movies come from. The surveillance is then compiled and produced and put on shelves in video stores. Although I guess those don’t exist anymore.

The Filth and the Funny

Comedian Rob Delaney is disgusting on Twitter, and it’s hilarious.

By Brian McManus bmcmanus@philadelphiaweekly.com prescriptions for Lexapro and Cymbalta to cure his crippling bouts of suicidal depression. And he let people’s laughs medicate him, too, getting on any stage that would have him.

Now, he’s become a top national comic playing sold-out shows around the country, a Twitter phenomenon with 370,000-plus followers, signed a book deal with Random House, and sued Kim Kardashian for her sham marriage. PW caught up with Delaney for a quick chat to talk comedy, Twitter and abject, stinking filth.

You’ve been doing stand-up nine or 10 years now. How long did it take you to get good?

Rob Delaney

I P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y A p r i l 1 1 - 17, 2 01 2 • 42

t was, quite naturally perhaps, in jail where Rob Delaney decided what he really wanted to do with his life. He was a bloody pile of rubble, in a wheelchair with two broken arms. He’d just driven his car, while blackout drunk, through the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

No one else was involved in the accident, but it ripped Delaney up something proper.

He’d require surgery for his arms. His knees were ripped open to the bone.

Often, while being wheeled around by the jail’s staff, he’d slide right out of the chair, his arms and legs too weak and mangled to keep himself from falling onto the floor, hospital gown opening up and exposing him for all the prisoners to see.

“It was during those moments, sprawled on the jail floor before a couple of beefy guards would pick me up and place me back in my wheelchair and cover my no longer ‘private’ parts, that I thought to myself, ‘It is time to make a lifestyle change,’” Delaney wrote in a poignant and hysterical article about the ordeal for Vice magazine.

So, he made that lifestyle change, and became what he’d always wanted to be: a stand-up comedian.

That was 10 years ago. Delaney stopped drinking and drugging. He got

I mean, it’s a weird thing—you start standup, and if you keep doing it it’s because you believe you’re funny and on a path to getting funnier. However, if I look back at my first stand-up appearances, they’re pretty abysmal. It’s a combination of fortitude and willful ignorance. I record all my sets, for example, and listen to them, so that I can get better and figure out what worked, what didn’t work, and I guess I enjoy listening to them now more than I did in the beginning. That kind of thing is invaluable for improving.

The more you do stand-up, you start to write onstage, which is to say that you go onstage with an idea of what you’re going to talk about then you hammer it out, record it, see what worked, what didn’t, and then go back. The funniest stand-up, I think, is crafted in front of a crowd.

You’ve said in the past it’s important to bomb. Why is that?

Because it’s an education, you know what I mean? Like, let’s say you were going to build a house, because you’re an architect, right? So you go to architect school, you learn about structural integrity and all that stuff. With stand-up, there’s nothing like that. There’s no school. You start to build a house, it collapses, and people die. And then you’re like, “OK, what can I do different next time?” And when I say people die, I mean emotionally you’re super crushed and destroyed and the crowd had a bad time. Awful. You recalibrate so you bomb less frequently, but as recently as a few months ago I did appearances that I would pay more money out of my family’s food budget than would be responsible to make tapes of that disappear.

Speaking of tapes—how do you feel about audience members who record

your shows and upload them to YouTube?

Anybody who does that is a piece of shit.

Emphatically. Because what a comedian’s trying to do is the funniest stuff they can, and when they deem it ready—not anyone else; not you, Rick from Lancaster. You don’t determine that, I do. And then when I’m ready, I put it out and then people who haven’t seen me live get a feeling of what it’s really like, then they come out and see me next time. So basically, if you tape a comedian’s set, you’re not a malicious asshole, but your actions are saying, “I don’t want this person to have success and I don’t want them to get funnier, and I don’t want more people to see them.”

You tweet some pretty filthy jokes.

Do you ever worry about your family reading them? Do they?

Yes, they do. My mom. My aunts. My mother-in-law. They all read them.

Everyone sees it. I try to pretend, for my own sanity, that they don’t, but it’s not going to see me clean up my act. Once, my mom called me on the phone and said, “This is disgusting” and I was like, “You’re absolutely right, it really is. And I also think it’s funny.” And I tried to explain to her that I’m trying to paint with a lot of different colors, and one of them is abject, stinking filth. And that might help me with a later painting down the road. And by painting, I mean a screenplay about a doctor who has three penises or something. My paintings aren’t going to be in the Louvre.

Gimme an example.

Let’s see, yesterday [Easter Sunday] I tweeted, “I feel like if a woman doesn’t want to sleep with me, she should at least let me smell her boyfriend’s dong.” That’s so disgusting, you know what I mean? I know that’s disgusting. I don’t read that and think “Yahoo!” No. I read it and think, “That’s totally disgusting.” But great.

People know what they’re going to get at this point and if you don’t, you’re going to be like “Woah!” and be horrified. Or, it will make you happy, and either one is OK with me. Because I know people use Twitter as a diversion. The best part of someone’s life isn’t reading a friggin’ tweet, ya know?

They’re a silly little diversion, and if my little diversion can make them go “Hey!” or laugh a bit, that’s the best possible outcome I could hope for, so that’s why I tweet abject filth. And I think it’s funny. n Rob Delaney performs Sat., April 14, 8:30pm. $16. Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St. 215.232.2100. utphilly.com

Bloodthirsty Hooks Bad Veins bring nuance to The Mess We’ve Made.

By Chris Parker

feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

T

Critic's Pick Hot Hands Little Women

I dunno its origins, but the quote that opens Orlando, Fla., garage-rock duo Hot Hands’ Everything We Have Is Broken (2010) is strange. “I woke up, saw there was a bunch of smoke,” says a young dude with a Southern accent, “and basically just threw my girlfriend out the window and got outta there.” It makes sense, though, because the tunes that follow sound like music made from the heart of a house ablaze. Their best cut, “Your Short Hair,” might be about a bad haircut, but it’s hard to tell ’cause it’s smothered in Jeffrey Howard’s powerhouse-static riffs and Kristin Howard’s belligerent drum bashing. (Elliott Sharp)

Chromatics

Kill for Love (Italians Do It Better) Sounds Like: The Portland, Ore.-born

group’s ever-evolving lineup/sound favors to the Italo Disco-flavored shoegazey electrorock and it’s the best they’ve sounded yet.

Free Association: The record everyone is/will be talking about is worth the hype.

For Fans Of: Junior Boys x Depeche Mode, New Order/Telepathe, the film Drive.

Anais Mitchell

Young Man In America (Wilderland/Thirty Tigers) Sounds Like: The 30-year-old folkie’s fifth

is a brilliant collection of songs inspired by turning 30 and an America that doesn’t guarantee economic safety anymore.

Free Association: All the best of the ladies you love pushed into one charming woman.

For Fans Of: Less-squeaky Newsom/de-hippied DiFranco/Martha Wainwright.

Nicki Minaj

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (Universal Republic) Sounds Like: The bad bitch is back with

a new set of filthy mouthed tracks on her sophomore, which features all kinds of guests and producers to not-amazing effect.

Free Association: Her debut had more immediacy; “Stupid Hoe” won’t be enough, hon.

For Fans Of: Trina/Lil Wayne, Lil’ Kim/Rick Ross, Missy/Chris Brown, that Grammy shiz.

Bear in Heaven

I Love You, It’s Cool (Dead Oceans) Sounds Like: Brooklyn-based practitio-

ners of synthy, tripped-out rock-flavored dance music, they take their sound to new levels of ecstatic, fuzzy, washed-out mania.

Free Association: A hot band to like but not because they’re actually great musicians.

For Fans Of: Phoenix + MGMT x Yeasayer, Suckers/Ruby Suns, Making Time.

Obie Trice

Bottoms Up (Black Market Entertainment) Sounds Like: The Detroit rapper’s third

since his Eminem-sponsored debut in 2003 has a third liquor-themed title and it’s a surprisingly sophisticated and varied effort.

Free Association: Do yourself a favor and YouTube the 2003 gem “Got Some Teeth.”

For Fans Of: 50 Cent/D12, Fabolous x Jadakiss, gunshot-suriviving rappers, teef.

AU

Both Lights (HOMETAPES) Sounds Like: Luke Wyland is the back-

bone of this psych-noise duo whose fifth LP deftly weaves elements of post-punk, bluegrass, minimalism and prog-rock freakouts.

Free Association: Oscillating between spaz and peace, it’s a fun ride start to finish.

For Fans Of: Marnie Stern/Battles/Brian Eno, the Dodos x the Books, mind expansion.

more measured in its use of instruments and their placement. The space affords the arrangements room to breathe and let the melodies’ beatific glow (and entire divisions of orchestral samples) draw you in and wash over you like breakers on the shore’s edge.

“I feel like I had a formula on that first record.

I was going to do a string thing and I was going to break it down,” Davis says. “I was going to play the orchestral arrangement of the song and then I was going to come back and I was going to rock it out.

There aren’t a lot of bridges or codas on the first record. There are on this one.

“I was more interested in details this time,” he says. “I explore the themes a bit more and there are a lot of pop idiosyncrasies that aren’t on the first record. There are layers and layers and layers of melodies, but we made a conscious decision to strip it down and let each sound and instrument have its own moment ... It would take someone 100 listens to have it all soak in.”

One reason Davis sounds so confident is beMain Veins: Ben Davis, left, and Sebastien Schultz, of indie-pop duo Bad Veins. cause he figures he’ll be making music the rest of his life—one way or another. He chuckles thinking about an interviewer early in the day who asked his is a big moment for Ben Davis. His band Bad him why he made music. “There was no decision. It’s like Veins is about to follow up 2009’s much-buzzed‘Why are you gay?’ No one decides.” about self-titled debut with The Mess We’ve Made.

Of course, there were the many years of piano lessons, This isn’t his first rodeo; by his reckoning, he’s made seven which he saw more as a chore than the ticket to his future. or eight full-length recordings since he started writing “My parents forced me to take piano. Me and my brother. songs as a high school freshman. Now, the Cincinnati But he didn’t have the aptitude, so they let him stop,” Daduo—Davis and drummer Sebastien Schults—has got a slice of the spotlight, yet their steady climb is no guarantee vis says. “Obviously it’s all second nature to me now, but God how I hated that.” there’s not a huge drop off ahead.

WHERE MEN MEET MEN

By Dan Savage mail@savagelove.net My fiancé and I have been together for six years. We’re both 27. About a year ago, he admitted to me that he is bi—which I was surprised about. I told him that I was bicurious. We have had talks about meeting with other couples. I am very insecure. I have been with very few men and no women (beyond kissing). Today, he told me that a few weeks ago he signed us up on a personals website and posted a picture of me naked from the waist down on the site. I was shocked and upset. I have NEVER posted nude pics of myself anywhere! I felt this was a violation of my privacy. He says that I wasn’t actively doing anything about getting outside partners, so he wanted to show me that I’m attractive and that other people thought so. He got angry when I tried to explain why I was upset. He said that if this is how I’m going to react, he’d take the whole thing down. When I tried again to explain that I was hurt that he didn’t talk to me first and I actually did want to see the responses, he said, “Fuck it,” he was giving up, and he refused to show me the responses.

1. Is it that ludicrous to be upset about naked pics of me being posted on the Internet without my knowledge?

2. Do I deserve time to think about the naked-pic situation before he gives up?

3. Does he have a right to feel angry with me for being initially upset?

What Should I Do? 1. No. 2. Yes, you deserve some time to think about the naked-pic situation. You might also want to carve out a little time to think about the whole engaged-to-a-manipulative-and-petulant-pieceof-shit situation.

3. No, he does not. Your reaction was not only understandable, WSID, it was one he should’ve anticipated. Maybe he thought it would be easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, and maybe he thought it wasn’t a big deal because it wasn’t a face pic, and maybe he hoped positive responses would heal your insecurities and prompt you to retroactively approve of his actions.

He was wrong. But instead of apologizing for his thoughtlessness—instead of taking responsibility for his actions—your fiance attempted to shift the blame onto you. (You weren’t actively seeking out sex partners so, like, what other choice did he have?) He’s the one who fucked up, and yet you’re the one who’s in trouble. If he can’t apologize, WSID, if he can’t stop trying to blame you for his own stupidity, if he doesn’t stop withholding those responses from you, per your request, you really should rethink your plans to marry this man.

Bi and sexually adventurous are great traits in a mate; dishonest and emotionally abusive are not.

I have been with my fiance for four years. We are happy together and very much in love.

When I met him, he was a bit boring, and I brought him out of his shell. But now I’m starting to feel like I’ve created a monster. He has discovered that he is REALLY into some things. For example: trans porn, wearing my lingerie, being on the “receiving end” of my strap-on, etc. All of these things are fine—once in a while. But it makes me feel like less of a woman when all he wants to do is BE THE WOMAN EVERY SINGLE TIME! We have talked about it, and he has cut back, but I can’t help but wonder … is he less satisfied in bed now? I have noticed a drop in how often we have sex after we had the “talk.” I’m getting bored and worried!

Created A Monster

You two may be experiencing—and you may be misinterpreting—a normal four-years-in decrease in the frequency of sex, CAM, or this could be one of those lulls that even couples in LTRs that don’t see a drop in frequency sometimes experience.

That the amount of sex you and your fiance are having fell off steeply in the immediate wake of the “talk” may just be a coincidence.

Only time will tell, CAM, so … you’ll have to give it time.

But you were right to communicate with your fiance about your unhappiness. You get a gold star for drawing him out of his shell, sexually speaking, and he may have gotten so excited about you being up for watching trans porn, putting him in your lingerie and pegging his ass that he lost sight of your needs, wants and desires. It’s possible that he’s less interested in sex now that it’s not all about transgender porn and gender transgression, CAM, but it’s also possible that he’s embarrassed for being such a thoughtless panty-wearing clod and is having a hard time getting things back in gear. You may need to draw him out yet again.

I’m getting married in a few months, and I wouldn’t be so blissfully in love if it weren’t for your advice. Before dating my fiance, I was dating another guy. One night, we were watching South Park and a joke was made about golden showers. My boyfriend made a half-joking remark, and I instantly thought of a column of yours in which you said men sometimes bring up their fetishes jokingly to gauge their partner’s reaction. It came out that he loved being peed on. I’m GGG, so I mulled it over and decided that I am not comfortable with that. I was able to explain that regardless of how sanitary it may be (one of his selling points!), I am not down and he deserves to be with someone who is.

Couple weeks later, I started talking to my future husband, who has the same kinks as me. Thanks for teaching me that being GGG does not mean doing whatever your partner wants but to always be respectful, even if it eeks you out.

Soon To Wed I’m glad you met the love of your life, STW, and here’s hoping your new man doesn’t have a secret kink that’s as bad or worse—or identical to—your previous man’s rather harmless kink. Yes, yes, being into golden showers, or getting off on being pissed on, is pretty kinky, as kinks go. But after a few beers, piss is mostly hot water. I’m not saying you should’ve gone there for your ex, if pissing on him was something you absolutely, positively couldn’t bring yourself to do. All I’m saying is that most people who give piss a chance quickly realize that golden showers aren’t nearly as gross and disgusting—or even golden—as they were led to believe by people who lump piss in with shit when discussing and/or freaking out about other people’s kinks.

That was a great response you gave to the woman who was concerned about her boyfriend stroking his dick and the cat at the same time. I mean, sometimes I’ll start absentmindedly jerking off while watching TV, and it has absolutely nothing to do with what’s on the screen. What if someone walked in and saw me beating off and Geraldo was on the screen? The two things are completely unconnected, and any reasonable person would realize that!

Why Buy Renters Insurance?

If you’re a renter, you may not think you need insurance at all. (Your landlord already has insurance on the building, right?)

But you may not realize that your landlord’s policy doesn’t cover any of your personal property. What would happen if: • Your apartment building burned down?

• A thief broke into your town house?

• A guest slipped and injured himself in your kitchen?

• The home you’re renting suffered water damage?

Without renters insurance, you’ve got no coverage for personal property loss or damage. Fortunately, you can get affordable renters insurance (also called apartment insur-

ance) to help protect you in situations like these. To get a free renters insurance quote or call 1-800-841-2964.

RenteRs InsuRance PRotects YouR BelongIngs Too often, people think they don’t have enough property to make a renters insurance policy worthwhile. But take a minute to think about what you own, and what you’ve got to lose, including: • Clothing • Furniture • A television or entertainment system • A computer • An iPod • Musical or sporting equipment • Jewelry

Need help estimating the value of your belongings? Try our easy to use personal property calculator.

Renters insurance provides protection if your personal property is damaged, stolen, or destroyed. Get an online renters insurance quote.

When Does RenteRs InsuRance aPPlY to You? Your renters policy will state exactly what you’re insured against. In the insurance world, it’s known as “named peril” coverage.

The named perils in your renters policy may include: • Fire or Lightning • Windstorm • Smoke

• Vandalism or Malicious Mischief • Theft • Accidental Discharge of Water • Nine other common loss types Your coverage will also include liability protection, which covers injury to another person on your property. If necessary, your policy can even pay for your legal defense in these circumstances.

Additionally, your policy will include medical payments coverage that pays for medical expenses of people who don’t live with you, but who are injured on your property.

MAriA douGHerty (President) i ricki HildebrAnd (broker oF record)

The sun is peeking out and the plants are starting to blossom, so it must be about time for spring chores again. Here’s my annual spring checklist of important issues to tend to around the house.

1. Roofing repairs: If you suspect winter storms may have damaged your roof, it needs to be inspected. (If you’re not comfortable with the height or steepness of your roof, hire a licensed roofing contractor for the inspection.)

Look for missing or loose shingles, including ridge-cap shingles.

Examine the condition of the flashings around chimneys, flue pipes, vent caps, and anyplace where the roof and walls intersect.

Look for overhanging trees that could damage the roof in a wind storm, as well as buildups of leaves and other debris.

If you have roof damage in a number of areas, or if older shingles makes patching impractical, consider having the entire roof redone. Also, remember that if the shingles have been damaged by wind or by impact from falling tree limbs, the damage may be covered by your homeowners insurance.

2. Check gutters and downspouts: Look for areas where the fasteners may have pulled loose, and for any sags in the gutter run. Also, check for water stains that may indicate joints that have worked loose and are leaking. Clean leaves and debris to be ready for spring and summer rains.

3. Fences and gates: Fence posts are especially susceptible to groundwater saturation, and will loosen up and tilt if the soil around them gets soaked too deeply. Check fence posts in various areas by wiggling them to see how solidly embedded they are.

If any are loose, wait until the surrounding soil has dried out, then excavate around the bottom of the posts and pour additional concrete to stabilize them. Replace any posts that have rotted.

4. Clear yard debris: Inspect landscaping for damage, especially trees. If you see any cracked, leaning or otherwise dangerous conditions with any of your trees, have a licensed, insured tree company inspect and trim or remove them as needed.

Clean up leaves, needles, small limbs and other material that has accumulated. Do any spring pruning that’s necessary. Remove and dispose of all dead plant material so it won’t become a fire hazard as it dries.

5. Fans and air conditioners: Clean and

check the operation of cooling fans, air conditioners and whole-house fans. Shut the power to the fan, remove the cover and wash with mild soapy water, then clean out dust from inside the fan with a shop vacuum -- do not operate the fan with the cover removed.

Check outdoor central air conditioning units for damage or debris buildup, and clean or replace any filters. Check the roof or wall caps where the fan ducts terminate to make sure they are undamaged and well sealed. Check dampers for smooth operation.

6. Check and adjust sprinklers: Run each set of in-ground sprinklers through a cycle, and watch how and where the water is hitting.

Adjust or replace any sprinklers that are hitting your siding, washing out loose soil areas, spraying over foundation vents, or in any other way wetting areas on and around your house that shouldn’t be getting wet.

7. Check vent blocks and faucet covers: As soon as you’re comfortable that the danger of winter freezing is over, remove foundation vent blocks or open vent covers to allow air circulation in the crawl space.

While removing the vent covers, check the grade level around the foundation vents. Winter weather can move soil and create buildups or grade problems that will allow groundwater to drain through the vents into the crawl space, so regrade as necessary. Remove outdoor faucet covers. Turn on the water supply to outdoor faucets if it’s been shut off.

8. Prepare yard tools: Replace broken or damaged handles, and clean and condition metal parts. Tighten fittings and fasteners, sharpen cutting tools and mower blades, and service engines and belts in lawn mowers and other power equipment.

9. Change furnace filters: Now is the time to replace furnace filters that have become choked with dust from the winter heating season. This is especially important if you have central air conditioning, or if you utilize your heating system’s fan to circulate air during the summer.

10. Check smoke detectors: Daylight Savings Time snuck up early again this year, and that’s usually the semi-annual reminder to check your smoke alarms. So if you haven’t already done it, now’s the time. Replace the batteries, clean the covers, and test the detector’s operation before it’s too late.
