Nerds revisited: Revenge of the Nerds stars Curtis Armstrong (center) and Brian Tochi (right) will be here to celebrate the classic’s 30th anniversary.
WHAT’S HAPPENING — BEFORE IT HAPPENS ... CO NV E NTION
Wizard World Comic Con/Awesome Fest With all due respect to Melissa Harris-Perry’s oft-mentioned nerdland, Philadelphia’s got one all its own, filled with inhabitants who are thrilled that our city’s much-anticipated summer convention season is upon us. Why? Its kick-off is the always-entertaining Wizard World Comic Con, a rousing traveling collection of comics, movies, TV shows, technology, games and collectables that offers up the most beloved stars across each genre for fans to greet, meet and enjoy. Philly’s proud geek gods are well-aware of—and well-prepared for—this annual jam-packed extravaganza, but this year, something more awesome, literally, is getting thrown into the mix. Since 2010, Philadelphia’s own Awesome Fest has been bringing its audiences the best in cutting-edge cinema and music, completely free of charge in outdoor places, and offering everything from indie gems from local filmmakers to Hollywood blockbusters, hosting a number of premieres to ensure that this one-of-a-kind confab remains exclusively Philly. Keeping in line with its history of presentations at non-traditional venues and other unique spaces, this year’s Awesome Fest has joined forces with Wizard World, offering a twist on fan favorites—like back-to-back 30th-anniversary chats with The Karate Kid’s Ralph Macchio and Martin Kove and a screening of Revenge of the Nerds (above), along with comedian Doug Benson’s Movie Interruption, featuring guest interruptors Curtis Armstrong (Booger) and Brian Tochi (Toshiro Takashi). To sweeten the deal, there’s even a Q&A with veteran actor Christopher Lloyd to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Back to the Future 2—and so much more. Check the fest’s schedule, and you’ll see just how well it’s 2014 jammie plans to lives up to its name, aside from the WWCC tie-ins. All but one Awesome Fest film screened in conjunction with WWCC (Karate Kid is the exception) are free to Con ticket holders, but for those unable to secure WWCC tickets, the joint events are still offered at a reasonable price. Not to be restricted within the confines of one weekend, however, the remainder of AF lasts through mid-August and promises more of the unflinching, unwavering levels of awesome we’ve all come to know and love. // KENNEDY ALLEN Comic Con: Thurs., June 19-Sun., June 22. $35-$55 per day.

You probably know Bobby Lee from his role in the 10-year-old stoner gem Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle or his stellar work on Fox’s long-running MADtv. What you probably didn’t know, though, is that Lee, like all other successful artists, works his ass off to make folks laugh touring the country. This week, he’ll be shedding that heinie at Helium Comedy Club. From his working-class roots—Lee’s dad wanted him to take over the family clothing-store business—to his firsthand insights into the Asian American experience, Lee is able to make you laugh while making you think. He weaves his family background growing up in California into his contemporaneous observations as a member of one of America’s minority communities. It’s not all heavy; he did once play a blind kung-fu master. Still, probably one of the most incisive characters of Lee’s was Hideki, the “average Asian,” on MADtv. Not only was Hideki bad at ping-pong, but he had a lot of difficulty with origami, too. After all, just because you’re Asian doesn’t mean you’re, well, an Asian stereotype. Lucky for all of us, nothing’s average about Lee’s comedic talents. And, given that 7 percent of Philadelphia’s population is Asian, it might do everyone well to see why stereotypes exist and, most importantly, why they’re just stereotypes. // JOSH KRUGER

Kurt Vile & the Violators + The Districts It was July of 1988 when seven-year-old Ralph Brooks, Jr., headed to his grandma’s house at South 20th and Dickinson streets, was struck by a bullet that severed his spine and took his life. Sadly, he’s not alone. A block away, at Tasker, a wall beside the basketball court memorializes a handful of the countless lives claimed by senseless gunfire. Now the cool part: Connor Barwin, the 27-year-old outside linebacker (#98) for the Eagles, is a big music fan. He’s big on local bands and—now we know—local charitable efforts because his Make The World Better Foundation, WXPN and R5 Productions are teaming up for a philanthropic effort that’ll get the ball moving on a proposed park that will give a welcome relief to Point Breeze’s dearth of safe and funded recreational spaces. When Philly faves Kurt Vile & The Violators and the Districts, plus a visiting-from-Houston the Tontons take the stage tonight, every single penny of the UT fundraiser’s sales, from tickets to drinks, will go to the proposed Ralph Brooks-inspired park. Even better? Barwin’s going to match what’s raised with a personal check. Pony up for a VIP meet-and-greet ticket to kick it with a nestful of Eagles—LeSean McCoy, DeMeco Ryans, Jason Kelce and Trent Cole among them—before the show. The project is slated to produce a huge blend of park and farm spaces; a brand new basketball court, tables and benches, fresh planting, fencing and a sick new Steve Powers (a.k.a. ESPO) mural will be highlights. It’s all so good: pro athletes who care, a band that’s a local institution paired with hometown young’ns that we love, and a potentially life-changing park that’ll affect so many lives for the better. // BILL CHENEVERT

Ah, West Philly: We’ve finally arrived. My beloved ‘hood can now count itself among the formidable ground on which Lee Jones has forged his legendary Sundae parties for the past 11 years, eight or nine of them internationally, joining booming burgs in France, Puerto Rico and Brazil. The lore began right here in Philly, though, where Jones and Co. debuted at the Art Alliance, an opening night that attracted a whopping 33 revelers. Pioneers, though, is what those initial attendees were, helping to set a dance floor afire that would practically alight the world on its travels. Next month, Sundae hits Sydney, Australia, adding to an admirable history that includes local residencies at Shampoo, Comcast Plaza, the Piazza and Morgan’s Pier before planting in its current Lee Jones (left) and Francisco Collazo Silk City hub. Before our hero hits the airport again, a festive, all-day, BYOB block party—and do we ever mean party—is taking place at Sundae’s furthest-west local locale. Set to spin are Jones himself, Francisco Collazo, Del and DJ, the gents who’ll not only loan the sweaty afternoon even more heat, but cap off the late-night after-party at Silk City from 10pm to 3am. The main event’s at the former Wall Street International building, so you can’t miss it. Take SEPTA’s 10 trolley, and you’re there in a flash, with a designated driver already built in. Want more info: Check their mobile app (!) or website. // SHEENA LESTER 3pm. Free for age 16 and under-$5. One Art Community Center, 1431-1439 N. 52nd St. 215.477.9255. sundae.ws

The Doobie Brothers
M U SIC
The Doobie Brothers + Peter Frampton Over 40 years after their self-titled debut LP, Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons are pretty much the only two original Doobie Brothers still on deck. A handful of members have rotated through the lineup, and death’s cruel clutches have stolen five members, both permanent and passing though. But at 65, Johnston and Simmons are the long train runnin’ who keep Doobies fans comin’ back to listen to the music. They’ve been ambitious tourers, with veteran fellow Doobie dude John McFee, for decades now, and this team-up with Peter Frampton tonight will not disappoint. It’s guaranteed to resonate with the teenager in all of us—at least the ones who were given a ‘87 Plymouth Caravan at 17 and kept a six-inch acrylic bong in the glove compartment. In late 2012, the insightful, brave documentary The Doobie Brothers: Let the Music Play, for which the band bravely peeled back the layers for its chronicling of their early years and rise to classic-rock stardom, gave longtime fans a thrill. And with countless greatest-hit collections, their catalogue would sit nicely beside Grand Funk Railroad, Marshall Tucker Band and their good friend and ex-Doob Michael McDonald on an FM Gold shelf of discount discs at FYE. Don’t get it twisted, though: Frampton’s capable of much more than “Baby, I Love Your Way;” there’s also “Do You Feel Like We Do” and “Show Me The Way.” Unlike bands that are trying to move you past their singles, these two acts will likely just roll out the hits one after the other, just like you used to in your teen transportation. // B.C. 7pm, $25-$150.

Biggest. Art Party. Ever.
If you’ve ever wanted to see one of those empty Philly warehouses resurrected and turned into something magical, this weekend’s Force Field art event is where you’ll want to be. Story and photos by SEAN CORBETT /
Y
Hey, why not? This empty warehouse is one of the largest blank canvasses an artist could ever dream of. Let’s get fake-married in the damn elevator shaft, check out some crazy art and then go dance on the roof with music made by plants.
<< Local artists Joe Bartram (left) and Tim Eads brace themselves for the whirlwind of 45 new art installations that will soon fill the MaKen Studios buildings.
I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k ly 1 3
The Force Field project was born about a year ago, when local artists Tim Eads and Joe Bartram caught wind of what Shift Capital, a real estate company working to refurbish various sites around the city, was undertaking at the Jo-Mar site. Shift Capital purchased the pair of Kensington buildings in March and November of 2013. The company began renovating the space for artist workshops under the name MaKen Studios North and South—beautiful, giant studio spaces that, before long, were renting out to professional designers, artisans, creative professionals and makers of all kinds. “Manufacturing built the community around this building,” says Cait Kenny, the MaKen Studios project manager, “and we’re trying to get back to that a little bit, on a smaller, local scale, with lots of busy creative people filling the building again.” Conscious of how such real-estate investment can lead to concerns about gentrification, the MaKen crew has deliberately sought to work with local laborers whenever possible, even though it is not always an option.
“Collaboration is key for our community development work,” Kenny says. The company has plans to create a nearby tree-lined green space; is working with groups like Philadelphia Urban Creators to create a rooftop garden for local food and educational usage, and they are working very closely with local community activist and filmmaker Jamie Moffett to “brainstorm ideas on improving the neighborhood for local community members and our tenants.” More recently, MaKen Studios partnered with neighbors Gary Randazzo of Diamond Furniture and Jamie Moffett of Kensington Renewal to clean and secure an abandoned lot of nearby Rand Street, which had been a magnet for crime. The lot cleaning is part of a larger Kensington Renewal initiative; they’ll soon liven it up a little with help from local artist and AIGA member Robb Leef as part of AIGA’s Design for Good project. “Our idea isn’t new,” Kenny says. “We’re not innovators. We’re enthusiasts and suckers for architectural integrity and community identity preservation. We’re developers with a moral compass, and we’re also suckers for manufacturing and art.” Eads, 38, and Bartram, 25, quickly got excited about the possibility of installing artwork at the Jo-Mar buildings—maybe, say, a sitespecific piece on the roof? Eads, a colorfully dressed, Willy Wonka sort of installation artist known for his playful sculptures, machines,

But a few, like the Jo-Mar warehouse buildings at 3401 and 3525 I Street in North Kensington, are once again bustling with activity. This will be where you’ll have your chance to live out those SEPTA daydreams: Come Saturday and Sunday, June 21 and 22, the Jo-Mar buildings will be the home of Force Field, possibly the biggest warehouse-based weekend-long art and music project to hit Philadelphia. Masterminded by local artists Tim Eads and Joe Bartram and supported by the real estate development group Shift Capital, a company working to refurbish different buildings around the city, the Jo-Mar buildings, now renamed MaKen Studios, promise to shine this weekend like they’ve never shined before. Imagine 200,000 square feet of space spread across two once-abandoned Philly warehouse buildings, filled with a ridiculous variety of artwork created by 45 hand-selected artists and groups from seven different states in the northeast. Throughout the four floors of space, plus the rooftop and garage bay, there will be food, beer from Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company and live music into the night to fuel visitors as they move through all the art. And oh, the art. Giant site-specific sculptures and installations. Interactive 3D projections. Performance pieces. If the rumors are true, there may even be some on-the-spot weddings in the elevator shaft.

ou can see Philadelphia’s illustrious past in its hulking bare warehouses, factories and buildings: the old cavernous hubs of the industrial age dotting the landscape, nestled next to ballparks and casting dark shadows over the railways. Maybe they catch your gaze as you sit on SEPTA daydreaming, looking out the windows, and you wonder what kinds of bustling, soot-covered activities used to swarm around these beasts. Behind the scrawled graffiti and broken windows, beneath the sunken roofs—maybe you’ve imagined what it’s like to be inside and have the place all to yourself. You could put on a secret play with your friends, perform an epic concert, set up a trapeze and hang from the ceilings and walls, or just wander around with a camera, conjuring the stories that might lie behind whatever tiny bits of aging beauty can still be found amid the mess. A few of you have probably even looked for loose locks at the ground level, in an attempt to catch a dusty, 100-year-old view. But that’s a dicey proposition. Some of these monstrous warehouses, like the ones you see along the western part of Allegheny Avenue, would probably swallow you whole if you took one wrong step inside. Others have been beautified beyond recognition, housing giant apartments with stainless steel appliances.

prints and fabric works, has exhibited his fullsensory-experience installations in galleries nationwide from Philadelphia to Los Angeles—projects, for instance, like Species of Spaces, a site-specific installation at Rebekah Templeton Gallery in which Eads took over the whole room and created an “overwhelming visual, aural and gastral experience” out of bright-colored paint and fabrics, ropey sculptures, kaleidoscopic prints, homemade potato chips and live music generated by the mechanisms of the installation itself. He’d been considering approaching CultureTrust of Greater Philadelphia, the nonprofit responsible for providing administrative support to such cultural initiatives as Hidden City Philadelphia and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, with a proposal for a new personal project. But after he and Bartram met and hit it off with the key players at MaKen, they started thinking bigger. “I was living in Detroit during grad school, so I had been thinking about abandoned factories for a while,” Eads says. “More importantly, the space pulled me in. Something had to be done that was memorable.” And so they conceived Force Field. Its name born from a shared appreciation for science and ambiguity, the project was designed with the desire to “give this opportunity to artists, to do something that they haven’t done or seldom do,” Bartram says. “We wanted to provide that opportunity to use this building and this space and this sort of event scenario—to be pushed, to be challenged.” They also see it as a template for the future. “Philadelphia is so ripe for this type of project,” Eads says. “Philly is such a unique city in the sense that it’s in a post-industrial state, but doing well financially.” (Well being a relative term, obviously.) “It’s in the Northeast so it has an abundance of culture, and there are great art schools here, so it’s saturated with young artists willing to take risks.” He and Bartram pitched the idea for the Force Field showcase to CultureTrust last September, after Eads had met with them a couple times to discuss their ideas. Their support made it possible for the two artists to obtain the necessary insurance, connect
together of independent visionaries, the Philly art community and a nonprofit supporter. It’s two patient, big-thinking creators taking the time to build something from scratch, and it’s a local company making sure they’ve got three floors of warehouse space to do it in.

And an online fundraising campaign through Indiegogo helped them raise $4,885 in May and early June—enough money to pay the participating artists. “Every time we looked at it, it grew in our minds,” Bartram says. They held an open call for artists in January and received more than 125 submissions from artists eager to participate. “We went through them for two weeks,
and we chose 45 projects,” he says. “That’s when we knew exactly how much space we’re using, how much space they’re going to let us use, these are the artists we want in, those are the kind of projects we are going to facilitate, etc. And I think that’s really when it was like: This is Force Field.” That this is a pretty rare one, considering the scope. Force Field isn’t the side arm of some giant corporation hiring artists to run their event—rather, it’s the huge coming
furniture maker who, for his artwork, crafts large, thoughtful, understated sculptures. Minimalist design principals and industry influence his clean, balanced, angular work: Full of iconographic objects and not much color, he shapes a narrative about mass production and man’s manipulation of nature (without being bossy or political). His creations are organized in such a way as to play with your perception of space. One recent untitled piece features a small pyramid sitting near an ancient-looking clay cup paired with a ramen cube, the chicken-flavor packet sitting under what looks like a chunk of asphalt. Mini Roman pillars cast a large shadow alongside a sort of conceptual space station. It’s mysterious and expertly fashioned. Still, he says, most of the artists whose work will be on display at Force Field—even those like him who are used to creating largescale installations—have never thought on this large a scale before. “When a lot of folks came to the tours, or maybe their second visit, they saw the space and were just so overwhelmed—a lot of, ‘Oh, I don’t know what I’m going to do.’ And I’d say, no, no, really: You have 3,000 square feet. So it’s like, you know, you’re gonna have to do something.” The artists, in turn, have been eager to step up to that challenge. Eun Hye Kang, whose string-based installations are delicate and utterly hypnotizing, moved to Philadelphia from Korea in the early 2000s and considers the city to be her American starting point. She’s excited to create a unique piece of the Force Field experience: “Although the space was rough and empty,” she says, “I could feel abstract movements in the space and get some inspiration from that.” For installation and performance artist Derek Martin, who is still recovering from

The annual Manayunk Arts Fest floods Main Street with more local artists and artisans than you can shake a paintbrush at.
F
or the 25th year, Manayunk plays host to the area’s largest outdoor, juried arts festival. A coalition between the Manayunk Development Corporation and Manayunk.com, the Manayunk Arts Festival has established itself as a yearly destination for art fans in the tri-state area: Winding and picturesque Main Street will be shut down for the weekend and transformed into a walking art gallery. What distinguishes the Manayunk Arts Festival from others in the area is its incredibly diverse roster of artists. Featured in this weekend’s festivities will be works of fiber, glass & ceramics,
jewelry, mixed media, painting & drawing, photography, wood crafts and sculptures. For each concentration, the festival boasts a stacked lineup of well-established and renowned artists from across the country. In addition, the fest features an emerging artists tent, which, for the third year, will spotlight young artists in various concentrations, curated for their promising futures and locality to the Philadelphia region. Catch these burgeoning local talents inside the tent, which will be located at the intersection of Main and Roxborough Streets.
The Manayunk Development Corporation anticipates that nearly 200,000 guests will flock to the Schuylkill’s banks for this year’s festival. Apart from the fantastic works of art that will be on display, businesses on Main Street will remain open during the festival to accommodate shoppers. Food, entertainment and family fun highlight this great outdoor Philadelphia tradition. —DANIEL GELB Through Sunday. 11am.

a 20-foot fall from a ladder while installing his work for a solo show in January, Force Field is almost a life-affirming milestone. He thanks his partner, Philadelphia-based installation artist and photographer Louise O’Rourke, for keeping him going, despite being unable to visit. “From the photographs,” he says, “this space is exactly what I yearn for in working on a project. I literally live for these moments and showing in large unconventional spaces.” Local sculptor and installation artist Joanna Platt has always loved exploring old factories and says that’s part of why she wanted to be part of it: “To have the chance to see what such a neighborhood landmark looks like from the inside. Jo Mar doesn’t disappoint.” The Force Field creative process has also led to new collaborations between artists who otherwise may not have even known each other. One such interaction is happening between Philly artist Lewis Colburn and Brooklyn artists Tyler Henry and Alex Burkat,
talist Ryan Todd. Plant-generated visuals will be provided by NoCarrier and Enso. A special sunset rooftop concert will feature electronic artist Ben Warfield—whose album Songs of Light and Dust is literally plantable; a music-download URL is printed on the back of some biodegradable seed-paper that you can plant in the ground—along with Philadelphia-based harpist Mary Lattimore and well-known producer and synth player Jeff Zeigler.
Sitting in her office in MaKen Studios South, Kenny, the buildings’ project manager, muses that she always thinks of the edifice as a beast that doesn’t want to be tamed. “It leaks sugar, because it used to be a candy factory, for example,” she says. “Just things like that. The canvas here is not that easy.” That’s as true for the Force Field event as it is for MaKen’s building renovation itself. Eads says making it work has been all about the trust between the people involved—and
The building, Kenny says, “leaks sugar, because it used to be a candy factory. The canvas here is not that easy.” who both wanted to use the same space: a big room near the facility’s boiler, with a raised stairway in the middle. Since meeting, they are working together to share the space. “They’ll be projecting video up on the walkway, but viewers will also be able to use the walkway to look down on my installation,” Colburn says. “So, the walkway is a really fortunate feature of the architecture for both of us—and I think that’s a great example of why it’s exciting to show work in a space like the Jo Mar buildings.” Then there’s Joe Patitucci, the founder and director of Data Garden, whom Eads and Bartram brought on board as Force Field’s music and multimedia curator. The Saturday night music schedule he’s assembled, which starts at 7:30 p.m., is out to pull together the whole weekend with one big dance party. Headlining the show will be King Britt, who’ll perform a live techno set that incorporates music and bio-feedback from living plants. This sort of “plant sonification” is Data Garden’s speciality; though Patitucci says it can’t really be described, only experienced, he says the show will “activate the energy fields around plants and around each other to create an environment where we can all connect and dance together.” Also playing Saturday night: EDM performers Alex Burkat and Telequanta, the haunting Hiro Kone and multi-instrumen-
their shared never-fail attitude. “Originally, we sort of believed we would be getting grant money and funding from other sources,” he says. “That hasn’t happened. [But] because we had the mindset of ‘Let’s just do it, no matter what’… we didn’t go back and scale back the project; we just said, ‘Now we have to figure out what we have to do.’” It was a complex project to manage. But Eads is used to juggling simultaneous logistical headaches: He grew up on a ranch in West Texas. “It was constantly things being thrown at you,” he says. “Like, you know, if a windmill breaks that day, you need water for your cattle now. Or they die. And so, you need to fix the windmill with everything in the back of your truck in an hour. This was every day for me—long before I started creating art.” Spending a year pulling together one weekend of art, he says, may have seemed like a risky endeavor to others. But not to him. “Worst case scenario,” he says, “the flop, the fail—it would still be pretty awesome. It’s going to be an epic thing.” n

Get a quick bite of Rick Bayless’ Mexican fare at Penn’s new Tortas Frontera.
By Brian Freedman // bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com
N
o one could really argue that Rick Bayless, the remarkable Chicagobased chef, television host, and expert in the diverse cuisines of Mexico, has been anything but a singular, transformative food personality. His restaurants, including Topolobampo, Xoco, Frontera Grill and more, have been showered with awards—as have his cookbooks. Indeed, it’s not an overstatement to say that he has had as great an impact on serious Mexican cuisine in the United States as anyone. Now, with his expansion into Tortas Frontera, eaters outside of Chicago have the chance to ostensibly experience his food. The key word there, however, is “ostensibly.” Because while Tortas Frontera provides a more than pleasant diversion from other quickeat-style options, and certainly quality that’s greater by several orders of magnitude, it is still mainly a restaurant for a fast bite. That’s not a bad thing at all, and within that context, the new outpost in University City is a very solid option. Chipotle pork tinga bowl is anchored by tender pork and homemade
chorizo, spice heat swirling with the aromatics of the braising liquid and offset by cooling slices of avocado. Shrimp torta was well-composed with goat cheese, chipotle garlic mojo, arugula and black bean spread, but the “smoky garlic shrimp” showed little evidence of either. Handmashed guacamole could have used more acid, but it remained an excellent side dish. Skip the green chile caldo: It wants to be more flavorful than it actually is. In any case, the goal here isn’t to win any James Beard Awards; rather, it’s to provide the local community with a healthy, affordable meal on the go, crafted by hand and with an eye toward local ingredients. By that metric, it succeeds laudably.

An Addiction to Excellence Jennifer Weiner delivers another winner in her latest novel, All Fall Down, which she’ll discuss at the Free Library this week. By Kennedy Allen // kallen@philadelphiaweekly.com
N
ew York Times best-selling author Jennifer Weiner (pronounced WHY-ner) continues to break the molds of traditional “chick-lit” in her latest novel, All Fall Down, a haunting tale of a woman who has it all: the beautiful house, the handsome husband, the darling daughter—and the pesky hang-ups and habits surfacing in her quiet battle with addiction. Summoning both the heartwarming and heart-wrenching moments from her own life’s experiences, the 20-year Phillyarea transplant and former Inquirer reporter is renowned within the genre for the complexity and depth of her characters. By touching on the intricacies of her female protagonists’ interactions with the world around them, Weiner, an 11-time author, takes her readers along for memorable rides as she thrusts these well-crafted characters into incredibly difficult situations while cleverly maintaining a welcome air of tenderness and liberal splashes of sharp-witted comedy. Ahead of her appearance at the Free Library’s Central branch on Thursday, PW chatted with Weiner about the harsh realities of substance abuse, the trials of family life and the ability, when it’s all said and done, to bounce back from adversity. PW: What was your inspiration for All Fall Down? JENNIFER WEINER: Obviously, addiction’s a huge issue. It’s all over the news because of high-profile celebrity deaths—and also the rising number of women addicts. I wanted to write about addiction specifically, but I wanted to use it as a way to consider the bigger question of happiness and authenticity. People in the recovery world will tell you that an addict’s real problem isn’t alcohol or pills or pot or whatever, but feelings and not knowing how to deal with them. I wanted to write about a woman who has everything the world has told her to want, who’s gotten a life that looks great from the outside, but who still feels unhappy and unfulfilled. How much influence has your life in Philadelphia had on your creative process? One of the best compliments I get is when people assume I’ve spent my whole life in Philadelphia and tell me that I write like I grew up here. I didn’t. I grew up in Connecticut and came to Philadelphia in 1994 to write for the Inquirer and fell instantly in love. Philadelphia is my Little Bear’s bed, and chair, and porridge: not too big and not too small, not too hard and not too soft, not too hot and not too cool. I spent a summer in Washington, and a summer living in New York City—long enough in both places to know they weren’t for me. Philadelphia has everything a big city has to offer, but feels like living in a small neighborhood, and, of course, it’s so much more affordable than other big cities. I love that you can walk everywhere. When you grow up in a suburb and have to get in your car to do anything, there’s a great freedom that comes with being able to run all your errands and visit a great coffee shop and bookstore on foot. I love the amazing restaurants. I love the museums. I love certain blocks with narrow cobblestone streets and beautifully-tended flower boxes and flags and pocket parks. I love the quirky, random, half-hidden things, like the Philadelphia Sketch Club, where you can show up, pay $10 and draw a live model in the company of other artists. (I don’t draw, but I just bought a beautiful painting at their show). Or the Bicycle Club of Philadelphia, where you

show up Sunday morning and a volunteer leader takes you on a 12- or 15-mile [trip], then you eat brunch and ride back home. I love walking my dog on Forbidden Drive and ice-skating with my kids at the Blue Cross River Rink, which had this great popup winter village last year. And doing hot yoga at the Bikram studio at 15th and Sansom—I don’t actually love that, but I love it when it’s over. Your stories feature well-rounded, multi-faceted female characters. What would you like to see more of from other authors within your genre? I love reading well-rounded, smart, funny female protagonists in all genres—literary fiction, detective stories, science fiction where the girl saves the world. There’s nothing special I’d like to see authors in my genre do. What I’d really love is for my genre to get the respect that genre fiction by men receives. And for all the children of the world to join hands and sing a song. Do you have any projects in the future that your readers, locally and outside the city, can look forward to? I’m just getting started on my next book, which I think is going to be more of a love story than I’ve written yet. I’ve got the main characters: an old man who’s had an unhappy marriage who’s just found out he’s terminally ill and is trying to cram decades’ worth of missed opportunities into a few short months; a teenage mom; a recently widowed woman in her 30s trying to reenter the workforce and a disgraced professional athlete (think Lance Armstrong) trying to figure out his next act. I’m not sure what’s going to happen, or how all those stories will intersect. But that’s who’s shown up so far! Thurs., June 19, 7:30pm. Central Library, 1901 Vine St. 215.567.4341. freelibrary.org

Oh, Happy (Music) Day All day Saturday, practically every corner of the city will be alive with the sound of music. By Bill Chenevert // bchenevert@philadelphiaweekly.com
H
ere are some facts blasted your way that are meant to overwhelm: Make Music Day takes place in 560 cities in 110 countries worldwide. As of Monday, there are 177 artists gigging in 53 venues across Philadelphia—the “venues” actually just spots being set up all over the city, from parks to porches to bars and bookstores. This whole thing’s been booked by a software system where musicians sign themselves up through a website that matches them based on availability and proximity. There are 215 performances slated from 8am to 8pm, and there’s a slogan: “All Day, All Over, All Free.” We’re all in. Now, how on Earth does one go about maximizing this insane day of wonderful options? No worries: We’ve done the heavy lifting. (You can find the minutiae on makemusicphilly. com.)
I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m
10am: Make Music Philly Kick Off: XPN presents A Play Along Percussion Party with Philly Drum Project at LOVE Park, 1599 JFK Blvd. Philly Drum Project isn’t necessarily just about bongos and incense—this is about getting people to play via lessons, exchanges, sales, rentals, collaborations and encouragement. This morning’s grand opening will be a percussive maelstrom with a mayoral proclamation (This day’s pretty much paid for by the City’s Office of Arts, Culture & the Creative Economy and WXPN) and strangers with cowbells, tambourines, snares and sticks ready to hit.
1:30pm: Sara Abo-Harb at the Franklin Institute, 220 N. 22nd St. Sara’s great. Girl can belt. She’s a five-octave R&B and pop singer who competed in the Media Theatre’s “Delco Idol” competition and reminds me of Ariana Grande. She’ll probably destroy a handful of covers with that bizarro 19-yearold confidence and grace. 2pm: Luci Rising at Tabu Sports Bar & Lounge, 200 S. 12th St. A competitor in the first run of the “Songbird” sing-off, Luci was the jazzy, free-spirited soul and R&B spirit of Frank Ocean and Meshell Ndegeocello combined. She’s got some chops, and she’s adorable. 3pm: Natalie Bermudez at Barnes & Noble Cafe, 1805 Walnut St. One more flourish in the solo-girl-funk leg of this tour. This UArts music student’s got that soulful Etta James-ian jazz vixen vibe. She reminds me a little of that Karmin dip (Amy Renee Heidemann), but with a much-needed Jessica Rabbit edge. 4pm: Twin Pines at Joe Coffee, 1845 Walnut St. Right down the street, you should get some excellent coldbrew coffee and perk up with the outstanding thrash of Philly’s own feel-good post-punk grunge quartet. They’re like Japandroids mixed with undoubted heroes of theirs, Balance and Composure. But not that hard. Perfect disruptive Rittenhouse sidewalk noise.

Noon: Kimpedro’s NU Gruv Quartet at Arch St. Meeting House, 320 Arch St. I’m not gonna front: I love this guy for his Facebook page pronouncements. JazGuardian was founded in 1993 by Kimpedro Rodriguez and some other dudes, and it sounds like a few egos got inflated. Look at this gem: “The main difference this time is ALL members must be Spiritually Grounded and have their Egos and ALL levels of Arrogance checked at the door! (They are too many “lovers of self” trying to transfer negative energy).” They’re guaranteed to groove you with good vibes.
Wayside Shakeup
11am: Tim Hein at Bainbridge Green, Bainbridge Street between S. Third and Fifth streets. Hein’s a looker from Western Pennsylvania and makes eerie-yet-pretty countrified blues that remind me of Neko Case’s aesthetic—like David Lynch in Laurel Canyon. He’s gigging three times today, and he’ll be one of the first at Bainbridge Green, that weird and under-utilized space along Bainbridge. Seven “shows” will go down here, and there are probably 20 bars within spitting distance. Just sayin’.
5pm: Wayside Shakeup at Race Street Pier, N. Columbus Blvd. at Race. What a great time to catch a breeze off the river, and the Toy Soldier-ly and Dr. Dog-like rustic romping rock pop times will runneth over. This quintet’s definitely influenced by some usual suspects—Zep, the Dead, Springsteen, REM— but there’s a family for them here in their hometown of brotherly roots rock. 6pm: The Philly Gathering All-Star Rap Group at Autographs & Aerosols, 49th Street and Baltimore Avenue. This 17-foot U-Haul’s been converted into a mobile venue. This and the porch in Kensington called the Aporchalpyse
Natalie Bermudez
(2505 E. York St.) seem like two of the coolest places to make sure you don’t miss today. But A&A looks like it’s going to be super-duper fly for this big-ass throwdown, one of only two performances in this unique locale. 7pm: Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra at the Dell Center, Ridge Ave. and Huntington Drive. Championing ethnic diversity in classical music, the BPCO is founded and led by Jeri Lynne Johnson, an African-American woman in classical music, which is, sadly, quite rare. They’re super-talented and doing great work, plus they’ve teamed up with Settlement Music School, Art Sanctuary, PIFA and the Free Library of Philadelphia. I keep saying it, and I’ll say it again: Get yourself to the Dell, and educate yourself on the great stuff they do. 7:30pm: Ted Leo, then Lee Fields & The Expressions at the Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing, Columbus Blvd. at Chestnut St. Technically, this kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with a harmonica free-for-all jam session led by John Colgan-Davis from Dukes of Destiny, but you might not want to miss Ted Leo, a rock super-hero in our time who’s as smart as he is brilliant and talented (and punk). And then there’s Mr. Fields—or “Little JB” for his likeness to James Brown himself. With the Expressions, he’s seen new life as a solo artist after decades of supporting folks like Kool & The Gang, Hip Huggers and Darrell Banks. This will be one soul-tastic, rip-roarin explosion of a finale. Bring your dancin’ shoes—and cape to remove—for this free dance frenzy on the water. Now, that’s a musical day. You’re welcome. Sat., June 21, 8am to 8pm. Free. Various locations. makemusicphilly.com

SCREEN REVIEW
The Rover A man in post-apocalyptic Australia stops for a drink. By the worst imaginable luck, his car—his only possession—is stolen. He goes after it. Despite the action such a setup seems to invite, David Michôd’s follow-up to Animal Kingdom uses this archetypal revenge quest as an excuse more than an engine. This world is dying, not with a bang, but a whimper, and The Rover is an exploration of what that does to the people left behind. Guy Pearce, always talented, can be spellbinding in the right role, and he’s found one here, carving a haunted history out of the rover’s central reticence. Robert Pattinson matches him as hostage/sidekick Reynolds, for whom every sentence requires several revs of the engine just to get his thoughts together and his courage up. To him goes perhaps the movie’s greatest moment, as he defends a bit of small talk to Pearce’s hostile and suspicious nomad. In a less confident movie, the moment wouldn’t be enough to become the fulcrum on which their relationship turns, but in this one, it burrows deep. Their loaded truce sits largely alone in its humanity. In this slowlydying world, everything else feels more like mythic interludes than conversations, and any answers we get aren’t as interesting as the questions. But that’s because The Rover’s most deeply-felt relationship is with its desert world, its emptiness gorgeously shot as both a warning and a metaphor. Michôd offers an all-too-believable landscape of apocalypse by decline—the unspoken rituals around water, the last lingering pockets of martial law and gasoline and groceries protected at gunpoint feel less like a sudden scorchedearth future than inevitabilities that have crept up on the world. That same slow crawl of desperation, inside and out, is what makes The Rover such a haunting journey. (Genevieve Valentine) REVIEW
Obvious Child It’s a commentary on the current cultural temperature that when Obvious Child’s Donna (a magnetic Jenny Slate) discovers she’s pregnant, the film suddenly takes on an air of suspense. See, despite a social safety net—caring parents, angelic roommate— they agree Donna’s in no place to have a kid; Donna herself seems sure of her choice. And yet, her one-night stand keeps popping up, which is the worst possible sign. A recent spate of pregnancy-heavy romantic comedies (Juno, Knocked Up, Waitress) have primed us to expect that she might waver at the last second and instead commit to a sudden nuclear family with a guy just nice enough to settle for. Luckily, Obvious Child exists to refute those expectations. Director and writer Gillian Robespierre deliberately sets out to make this the sort of meandered-soul comedy that generally belongs to men, who have a long-established cinematic track record of being considered worthy of a flick or 10. Here, the messy life is entirely Donna’s. Despite occasional rom-com dance montages, she’s presented through a sympathetic but observant lens that views mistakes and triumphs with equal weight and keeps things from getting treacly. (The actual lens offers a low-key immediacy that tends to pull back at Donna’s nadirs, taking in the full absurdity and quiet heartbreak of that day’s most embarrassing moment.) Slate clears every comedic hurdle with air to spare, but it’s in occasional excruciating stand-up gigs and emotional collapses that Donna becomes human. Though the abortion in the film seems like a milestone simply for existing, it becomes merely another marker of adulthood for Donna, neither a turning point in her life or a solution to her problems. Without any rom-com pressure to be palatable, Donna instead gets to be real. It’s a refreshing change of pace. (G.V.)

Robert Pattinson’s Inescapable Career Before seeing his moving performance in The Rover, revisit those infamous Twilight commentaries. By Genevieve Valentine // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com
I
f you leave off the associations that follow Robert Pattinson’s name like suffixes on a bad business card (Robert Pattinson, Esq., Edward Cullen 4Ever, Twilightville, USA), the guy isn’t actually a bad actor. Sure, he’ll never give Ben Whishaw a run for his money, but he was charming in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, his first major studio role before the fateful casting that’s come to define him. And between Harry Potter and Twilight, Pattinson did standard work for an actor trying to make rent while quietly upping their profile—TV movie here, indie comedy there. Then came Twilight. It is, rightly and famously, not a great performance. Blame doesn’t entirely rest with Pattinson; he played Edward Cullen as the sociopath the text suggests, which is worth something. But he simply can’t manage the camp the movie requires, and when your movie has to stop a vampire baseball game so the family can growl at outsiders, you need someone who can commit. In the intervening years, Pattinson’s dropped marquee ambitions in favor of oddball flicks. He was mesmerizingly detached in David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, coming apart just enough to prove that any lack of affect was deliberate. He teams with Cronenberg again in this year’s Maps to the Stars. (This summer offers his unexpectedly moving performance in The Rover, worth seeing on the big screen for the landscape shots alone.) But bracketing every good performance is a reminder—or a reassurance—that any skill is despite Twilight. His press junket for The Rover included unsubtle questions from several outlets about working in a post-Twilight world. It’s a question that doesn’t seem to plague, say, Zac Efron, who moved on from High School Musical with little uproar except over his increasingly chiseled midsection. And some of that might be chalked up to a particular popculture cycle of self-reference—asking forgiveness through comedy. Efron went on Saturday Night Live to poke fun at High School Musical, clearing him for career-approval takeoff. Pattinson has made no such palatable winks outside the franchise—one imagines because a cadre of publicists is hovering behind him begging him not to. But within the franchise is one of the most famous gems in DVD history: his earth-scorching commentaries. How earth-scorching? Well, first came the Twilight commentary alongside director Catherine Hardwicke and costar Kristen Stewart, during which his relentless interjections—among them: “I have so many inexplicable facial expressions in this movie”—veered from self-loathing to thematic puzzlement, plus the beginning of his bemusement with the fan experience. His exasperation blasts right through to his wardrobe, dubbing carefully-rumpled hidden collar wires “the most intense form of pretentious dishevelment I’ve ever seen.” Hardwicke takes it in stride, a

stoner guidance counselor who only occasionally dresses him down, and Stewart often vaults over his comments with her own punchlines. Accidental consensus: They all worked hard and made a pretty terrible movie that some people were way too invested in. While there wasn’t a commentary for New Moon, they’re back for Eclipse—it’s safe to assume fan pressure played a part—safely sequestered from the director and left in a room that sounds like it was stocked with nitrous oxide. The riffs hit MST3K levels of abandon for them both: When Bella tells Edward, “You scared me,” Pattinson jumps in to cue his menacing expression, voice dropping three octaves: “I’m Batman.” At times, it feels less a commentary than a catharsis—especially for Pattinson, whose hatred of the Twilight franchise infuses the movies, planting a ghost of resentment as if to speak directly to his future analysis. Perhaps somebody agreed; there isn’t a commentary for either Breaking Dawn. But as dissection of a pop-culture misstep from someone who’s repented, it’s fascinating performance art and one of his best-ever performances. “What is Edward going on about half the time?” he mutters at the end of Eclipse. Stewart, cutting to the chase, asks “Does it matter?” And in perhaps the greatest line delivery of his career, Pattinson confirms: “It doesn’t matter.”

FREE SUMMER CONCERT SERIES AUGUST 13TH & 20TH 6:00-9:00 PM
AUGUST 20TH: DJ Cash Money Worldtown Sound System Pablo Batista and the Mambo Syndicate
hit the club with the intention of dancing nonstop through an entire DJ set. At roughly 12:30, I begin to seriously rethink this plan. How entirely committed am I to the prospect of being known as a fun person? How much reggae music can there really be left to play? Also: What is my dog doing right now? I’m betting he’s probably asleep on the couch. Man, that sounds good. I have failed to prepare for this dance party, and I am now feeling the consequences. Dancing is my thing. It’s my career, my hobby, my sport, and the closest thing I have to a ritualized spiritual practice, assuming you don’t count how I always pick up pennies when I find them heads up. Some folks have drugs, others have therapy. I have the dance floor at Silk City. And I am not alone: there is a small, fanatical cabal of Philadelphians
whose bodies and minds require copious gyrations, shimmies and the occasional dougie to survive through the week. People tell me all the time that they can’t dance. That’s usually an epic exaggeration, if not a lie. In reality, most people are just afraid to dance in public. It’s an activity that ranks just above dropping a deuce in terms of things they’d like others to observe them doing. And their trepidation is magnified exponentially if they have to dance in the presence of a person who is skilled at it. Bad at quizzo? Oh, well—you still play along, having your team’s dismal scores read aloud behind the others and have a good time anyway. But dancing? In public? That’s like letting everyone read your middleschool journal. But if exposure therapy and the ideas of Pavlovian extinction have taught us anything, it’s that the best way to overcome a
fear is to face it. So let’s talk about getting you on that dance floor and working it out from the beginning to end of a DJ’s set. STEP ONE: Pick a DJ. This adventure hinges on finding a DJ whom you can stand for the long haul. This is a lot like picking a life partner: You know there will good times, when it’s easy and everything’s fun, and you know there will be rough times where you feel like giving up. But if you picked the right one, it’ll be worth sticking it out. You need a DJ who knows how to construct a playlist that matches the human sexual response cycle: starts light but interesting, continually builds the energy level to a pulsating crescendo and then slowly brings it back down, so you can leave, exhausted and satisfied. They need to understand that beats per minute are legally allowed to vary, rather than playing 45 minutes of what sounds like the exact same song. They need to have a sense of what jams are too new or obscure and need to be bookended by major hits, and which ones need to be sent to live on a farm (cough cough Cupid Shuffle cough cough The Wobble). STEP TWO: Pick a spot. Personally, I love empty dance floors because it gives me more room to really take that Beyonce song to church, but there’s also something to be said for undulating body-to-body in a crowd like some kind of (really sexy) zombie hoard. Skip the snooty joints. If someone is paying hundreds of dollars for the right to sit away from everyone else, you’re in a douchebag nightclub and all of your anxieties about being judged will be entirely validated. Look for the City Wide Special and at least one bartender with visible tattoos.
The Moral Imperative How POWER won a liberal political victory by reframing the minimum-wage debate for faith congregations to get behind.
I
t was a week before the May 20 primary election, and community groups around the city already had something to celebrate. Mayor Michael Nutter had just signed an executive order requiring city contractors provide a $12-per-hour minimum wage for their workers beginning January 1—and for any subcontractors they might hire. It was a cautious celebration, though. That very prospect was up for vote as a ballot initiative, whereas Nutter’s order, by definition, was a temporary measure. His action might, activists thought, be a cagey attempt to minimize defeat, coming from a mayor who’d been fighting against that very minimumwage effort for years. But then came the election, and the ballot initiative didn’t merely pass—it received more votes, 94,128, than any other question or candidate in the city by a margin of about 3 to 1. Claiming victory on behalf of the subcontracted workers: a group called Philadelphians Organized to Witness Empower and Rebuild, or POWER, who’d worked relentlessly to get voters to support the initiative. The community organizing group was formed in 2011 by Bishop Dwayne Royster, also the founder of the Living Water United Church of Christ in Lower Northeast Philadelphia. Royster and his small staff were central in lobbying City Council to put the minimum-wage question on the ballot. Remarkably, they’ve found political success by framing workers’ rights and other liberal issues in terms of something that, all too often, the left has failed to fully appreciate: communities of faith.
Part of the reason conservative activists have led the pack in framing political issues morally is that they’ve been willing to reduce those issues to seeming incredibly simple. Part of the reason conservative activists have led the pack in framing political issues morally is that they’ve been willing to reduce those issues to seeming incredibly simple. In 2004, for instance, conservatives won elections by promising to keep America safe from the terrorists abroad and from the homos at home. And while they’ve been beat back in recent years, they’ve managed to hold onto power by exploiting peoples’ most simple, innate sense: greed. Greed, that is, framed as good—rendered as a noble struggle by the rugged individual to rise above the inner-city welfare queen; as those who pay taxes versus those who don’t. It’s probably a shortterm strategy, but one that’s kept the Republican Party afloat and able to block the president’s ultimate vision. But here, this year, Philadelphians who voted by and large came up with something much different. They decided to give a higher wage to those among the working poor who are em-

When POWER launched, the idea was to find common ground that might bring together Christians, Jews, Muslims and other faith groups around the city—and use that common ground to make progress on issues that often get mired in political muck. “Economics and education are issues all of our faith traditions speak to,” Royster says. “All our texts are very clear about education and economics. We find the commonalities in our faith texts, and we try to lean into those areas.” POWER’s approach explains, at least partially, why the vote to increase the minimum wage was approved with such an overwhelming force. The group didn’t just hold rallies and issue press releases; its staff of four, and 40 volunteers, set out to contact 50,000 Philadelphians via door-knocks and phone calls with the goal of getting 5,000 low-propensity voters to commit to voting—and, specifically, voting for the minimum wage increase. Much of that effort was conducted by speaking directly with congregations throughout the city, of which about 40 align themselves with POWER. “Congregations are concerned about what’s going on in civil society,” Royster says. “We believe faith has a role to play in civil society—and hopefully help throw things back in alignment, so there’s justice in our city. It’s the people that do the work; we just support and facilitate what’s happening.” POWER released videos in which they interviewed Philadelphians who’ve been making around $5 per hour with minimal tips for several years, and who would instantly be lifted out of poverty if the new minimum wage were to go into effect. Those conversations gained the attention of Fabricio Rodri-
guez, who’d been the lead organizer at the Restaurant Opportunities Center of Philadelphia for several years, where he’d lobbied for issues like paid sick leave. He joined POWER as an organizer this spring. “We’re really trying to change politics,” he says. “People’s politics aren’t translating to City Council, much less Harrisburg, in the way people live. Putting [issues] in a moral framework actually brings people together in ways that hasn’t been done in Philly in a while. I think that’s reflected in the [minimum wage] vote.” While inner-city politics has a long history of being influenced from the pastor’s pulpit, the idea of a community organizing group that rallies the faith community around specific, progressive economic issues is a relatively new one. It’s the sort of approach that right-wing politicians, nationally, have held a monopoly on for a generation.

STEP FOUR: Roll mad deep. This quest requires team work. Assemble a well-rounded group that includes at least: The One Who Can Actually Dance, The One Who Will Shoo Creepers Away, The Slutty One, The One You’re at Least Somewhat Attracted To, and The One Who Is Definitely More Awkward Than You. They each serve important functions that will sustain your operation through travails of exhaustion, moments where you hate the music, and unattractive guys who introduce themselves to you from behind, crotch-first. If you follow this expertly curated advice, culled from years of experience, you’ll find that you not only enjoy the party—but actually bring it.

STEP THREE: Drink. I’m not saying you have to get turned up. In fact, getting wasted increases the odds of having to tap out early. But if you’re nervous about dancing in public, a little lubrication might not be a terrible idea. Just make sure to add a glass of water between each serving to keep up your energy—and so your mouth doesn’t taste like an animal crawled in there and died when you wake up. As a quasi-health professional, I cannot recommend energy drinks, but as an actual human, I totally do.

ployed, if indirectly, through the government. That means, in the long run, they voted to pay more in taxes—since, after all, the government’s money comes from us. To find out how POWER was so successful, it may help to look at George Lakoff ’s three levels of analysis. The linguist wrote the book Moral Politics in 1996 and has been studying political rhetoric for over 40 years. The first level of Lakoff ’s analysis involves looking at universal issues that affect us all. Lakoff defines universal values as things like justice, equality, rewards for work, family, and protection. Liberals and conservatives look at fairness differently: Liberals tend to see fairness as sharing with, and caring for, others, while conservatives see it as getting your due. The strictly religious often come down on the liberal side here, as long as the subject isn’t abortion. In our particular case, the universal issues at play are education and economics. In the second level, we classify types of issues. Health insurance, for instance, can be classified under a series of issues: educational, employment, public health, moral, human rights, etc. (In 2009, the Obama Administration unfortunately framed it as a policy-wonk issue, which is part of the reason the health-care reform has been so unpopular.) The key for POWER was to classify the minimum wage for subcontractors not as an issue of labor unions—even though Big Labor in Philly was indeed affiliated with the effort—but as a moral and human rights effort, aimed at pulling people out of poverty and directly helping marginalized communities of workers. Level 3 is the bureaucracy. This is where liberals actually tend to thrive—which is unfortunate. This is the part where you create specific policies and programs to deal with the original problem—but if you haven’t first connected with voters on Levels 1 and 2, that opens your entire effort up to criticisms of “big government.” We saw this at the state level when Republicans passed a controversial voter ID law in 2012 without first having made a successful case that it was needed. (In fact, it wasn’t.) POWER began with the goal of raising wages for airport subcontracted workers, but only successfully lobbied to get the question on the ballot after three years in the field—after making their, and workers’, argument time and again. Levels 1 and 2 first—then Level 3. And after all that, the issue is still not resolved: POWER and workers continue flooding City Council on an ongoing basis to make sure the city actually enforces the law.
THE UNCOMFORTABLE WHOLE by Josh Kruger jkruger@philadelphiaweekly.com
It Takes a Village, and Maybe Another $40 Million Philly needs to do the right thing before it tries to host the Democrats’ convention in 2016.
T
here are no more K-Cups left here in the pantry except decaf, and I want to cry. Last night, instead of investing in my future—aka this morning—I decided to hang out with my friends. I would have been better served if I just bit the bullet and took the time 12 hours ago to buy coffee at the Acme to avoid this morning’s caffeine-withdrawal disaster. But it was easier, cheaper and more fun to spend the night being a social butterfly. Treat yo’ self, you know? But now my head fucking hurts and I’m cranky. Josh, you stupid asshole, you’re probably thinking, why don’t you quit blubbering about it and just go out now for your damn coffee? And you’re right: It’s never too late to do the right thing. It would be silly and short-sighted to just keep on whining. It would be incredibly childish to say: Oh well, now that I don’t have coffee, I might as well just say fuck it and go play some more. I mean—then I still wouldn’t have coffee! And yet, oddly enough, that’s exactly what some Philly leaders are doing right now by distracting themselves with the mere possibility of hosting the Democratic National Convention in 2016. We all love parades, and Democrats are particularly looking forward to 2016. It’s going to be a de facto coronation of Hillary Clinton should she choose to run. All indicators are pointing to her running, and there’s an entire movement of activists and fans in the Ready for Hillary movement. Putting aside Clinton’s cult of personality—a well-deserved fan base, but let’s be honest here: it’s a fan base first and foremost—the Democratic Party is salivating at the prospect of 16 straight years of Democrats in the White House. That long a span of liberal executive control hasn’t happened since Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. And in Philadelphia, Democrats outnumber Republicans 7-1. Apparently, we’re among the top six cities from which the DNC is currently mulling proposals to host the convention. Factor in the psycho-cultural tendency for Philadelphians to be egomaniacs with inferiority complexes, eager for everyone to remember that we’re a world-class city, and you can imagine the public enthusiasm surrounding this potential red-white-and-blue extravaganza. Cue Ed Rendell, former Philadelphia mayor and Pennsylvania governor and chairman of the Democratic National Committee, to point out that if Philly seriously wants to host the convention in 2016, it needs to raise $40 million with which to produce the event. Yes, $40 million. Mayor Nutter has already said that city resources are at critical levels, so the city itself can’t really do much to help. Most of that will have to come from private donors—and, should Philly win the convention bid, the state will inevitably kick in a few million dollars. (For instance, when the Republicans held their convention here back in 2000, Pennsylvania spent $7 million to help mitigate the cost and attract the appealing “we can do this thing” nature of a major party convention.) But you know what? Even without city tax dollars going toward the effort, this prospect still leaves a shitty taste in this Philadelphian’s mouth. Right now, the Philadelphia school district is in dire straits. Nobody seems to have any idea how to fix the problem, and part of Superintendent William Hite’s solution seems to be increasing ad-
ministrator salaries. So why the hell are we getting distracted by the prospect of throwing Hillary a tickertape parade? Some say that the issues aren’t related. To these people, I say: You probably don’t have a child in a public school in North Philly. Maybe if dutiful local Democrats would start rolling up their sleeves and actually doing something instead of letting the gin go to their heads at cocktail parties, they’d be able to understand why the issues are related. If we want to stay true to Democratic ideas of a strong public school system—if we want to really embody our party’s values— we need to draw a line in the sand right now. Here it is: Hey, rich Dems who might be considering donating money so we could to host the national convention—I don’t suppose you’d be willing to donate $40 million to the public schools in Philadelphia?
The Philadelphia school district is in dire straits. Why the hell are we getting distracted by the prospect of throwing Hillary a tickertape parade? It’s obvious that the Republican-controlled state legislature and the Republican governor have no sincere intention to actually, you know, educate our children. If the Republicans had their druthers, charter schools would put public schools out of business and education would be a luxury of the rich only. Over the past decade, the city and state have diverted millions in funds from public schools to the charter system. Meanwhile, since assuming responsibility of the Philadelphia School District in 2012, Superintendent William Hite has been forced to lay off 4,000 employees and close 24 school buildings because of budget shortfalls. We now boast a population of underachieving schoolchildren lagging behind every major city in the country. And even under these horrific conditions, our school district is still falling short—at last count by $35 million—of meeting its obligations. With that in mind, I have to wonder: Wealthy Democrats who want to see Hillary Clinton in the White House, do you not actually subscribe to her declaration back in the 1990s that “it takes a village to raise a child”? Or do you mostly just want to enjoy a limousine-strewn private party with all your well-heeled friends? You want to talk about Philadelphia being a “world-class city” worthy of hosting the DNC in 2016? We can’t seriously say that if we can’t even educate our children properly. I mean, what kind of priorities do rich liberals in Philly actually have? Fix the damn schools.

I’ve always identified as a straight male into typical relationships. I’ve realized, after multiple long-term relationships that were unsatisfying, that monogamy isn’t for me. I would like to have a main, fulfilling and committed relationship without limiting myself sexually or emotionally. I’ve struggled to remain faithful in the past and don’t want to cheat on anyone. I just want the rules to fit me so that I don’t have to be considered a cheater. Do you think this detail is something I should disclose to my family and friends? I don’t want to cause unnecessary awkwardness, but I also want people to love and accept me for who I am. I feel like this is an issue that activism isn’t addressing, and while polyamory seems to be more common today than in the past, I don’t see anyone who is publicly “out” as is the case with most of the queer community. Pondering Over Life’s Yearnings If you’re not seeing anyone who is poly and publicly out, POLY, then you’re not watching Showtime, which broadcast two seasons of Polyamory: Married & Dating, and you’re not paying attention to poly activists who are out—like Diana Adams, an attorney (dianaadamslaw.net) who specializes in nontraditional family relationships. “I applaud POLY for considering boldly coming out as polyamorous to his family and friends,” says Adams. “We need more people to come out in order to destigmatize polyamory. I came out as poly in the national media six years ago, and I built my career as an attorney advocate for queer and polyamorous families.” Adams recognizes that not all poly folks can be out—some work for conservative employers, some could lose custody of their kids—but she believes that poly people who can be out, should be out. “For those of us who have the privilege to be out, I encourage us to speak our truth, which will support a cultural understanding of healthy relationships beyond monogamy—and, of course, help us find like-minded partners. In POLY’s case, I urge him to learn more about poly first. Poly has become a major subject of media attention, with profiles of out poly people published practically weekly. Link up with groups like Loving More (lovemore.com) and Open Love NY (openloveny.com), and follow people like me on Twitter (@dianaadamsesq), and he’ll get tuned in to the nationwide activism that’s happening. He’ll also get tapped into resources for creating successful poly relationships.” And a word about those successful poly relationships: Just like successful monogamous relationships, poly relationships have limits—both sexual and emotional. But instead of coming to an agreement with one partner about those limits, you have to hammer out agreements with two or more partners. So when you say you want to be poly so that the “rules fit you,” POLY, you better be using the plural “you” and not the singular. “Poly may not be easier to maintain than his monogamous relationships,” says Adams. “Poly works for emotional ninjas who possess tremendous emotional awareness and communication skills to create their own agreements with their partner(s). If POLY is ready for that level of effort, poly may work for him so well that he’ll want to tell the world.”
In the wake of the killings at Isla Vista, and all the #YesAllWomen and #NotAllMen hashtag campaigns, I want a change in the dialogue. I want to hear the story of the man who warned a woman after he found out a friend was planning on drugging her, the story of the man who dropped a friend when he found out that his friend had assaulted his girlfriend, the story of the man who blamed the vindictive ex for posting naked photos and not his female partner who was being victimized. Can you ask your readers to send in stories that will give us women hope that the men who say they are on our side understand and are standing up for us in their everyday lives? One Sad Woman The #YesAllWomen and #NotAllMen were not concurrent, complementary Twitter hashtag campaigns, OSW. After Elliot Rodger decided to murder the women who had rejected him—women he felt entitled to, per his deranged and misogynistic “manifesto”—millions of women began tweeting under #YesAllWomen about the sexism, sexual violence and misogyny they experience on a daily basis. When some men—but not all men (sorry)—began responding to those tweets with variations on “We’re not all like that!” the #NotAllMen hashtag was born, OSW, and it was a critique. As Phil Plait wrote at Slate: “Why is it not helpful to say ‘Not all men are like that?’ For lots of reasons. For one, women know this. They already know not every man is a rapist, or a murderer or violent. They don’t need you to tell them ... Instead of being defensive and distracting from the topic at hand [misogyny, sexism, violence], try staying quiet for a while and actually listening to what the thousands upon thousands of women discussing this are saying.” So I’m a little hesitant to invite men to share their not-all-like-that stories, OSW, because I agree with Plait: Maybe men should shut up and listen? And then there’s this: It’s also entirely possible for a guy to do the right thing on one occasion—dropping a male friend who did something shitty to a female friend—and then immediately turn around and do something deeply shitty himself. Men shouldn’t be encouraged to think that one noble act frees them—frees all of us—from our collective responsibility as men to fight sexism and misogyny. (A quick note to my fellow faggots: What’s in fighting sexism and misogyny for us? Well, homophobes hate us because they perceive us to be like women—we’re effeminate, we’re cocksuckers, we’re penetrated. Homophobia is misogyny’s little brother, and a less misogynistic world is going to be a less homophobic world. So if you won’t fight sexism and misogyny for the sake of your moms, sisters, nieces, and female friends—and there’s something wrong with you if you won’t do it for them—then do it for yourselves, boys.) But I’m running your letter, OSW, and inviting women—stick a cork in it, menz—to jump into the comment thread and share your stories about men who’ve done the right thing. This is not meant to exonerate men of their responsibility to fight sexism and misogyny, or to minimize the problem because “not all men are like that,” but to give men who are reading concrete examples of what it looks like when a dude fights sexism and misogyny.
