PW Seeks Essays From Sexual-Abuse Survivors and Their Loved Ones

A

few weeks ago, Philadelphia Weekly won a national public-service award for a special issue we did on sexual-assault awareness. The Rape Issue, published June 22, 2011, tackled some myths (and outright lies) associated with sexual assault, including the age-old victim-blaming trope that women invite rape through their clothing.

Tara Murtha, a staff writer here who fights tirelessly for awareness on this issue, wrote about the unfortunate fact that Pennsylvania is the only state in the country that does not allow expert-witness testimony in sexual-assault trials.

(House Bill 1264, which would allow such testimony, finally passed the Legislature five years after state Rep. Cherelle Parker introduced it, and is now awaiting Gov. Corbett’s signature.)

Also in the issue was a piece by a male survivor of sexual abuse. In the piece, he recounted how painful it was to cope in a world that stigmatizes survivors of sex crimes. That man’s name is Joel Hoffmann, and he is my husband.

Months later, when abuse allegations against former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky came to light, I wrote about the difficulties survivors—and their loved ones—face during the healing process. Joel and I both received a lot of positive feedback about our willingness to talk openly about what we were facing. The problem is that too often, survivors are paralyzed by a culture that silences, shames and blames them.

Philadelphia Weekly is dedicated to fighting against this.

Which is why we need to hear from you—the survivor, the loved one, the advocate. We need you to tell your story, in your own words. To do so would help bring to light the one thing that’s missing from the national conversation: the reality of what it’s like to heal from the devastating effects of sexual abuse.

Contributors can disclose whatever details they choose about the abuse, but you should be prepared to write honestly about your experiences with healing. We encourage you to share the good and the bad because the primary goal of this project is to make it clear what it takes to get better.

And we’re looking for a diverse group of contributors— diverse in age, race, sexual orientation and socioeconomic background—in order to convey how universal this problem is. Joel comes from a white, working-class family in Delaware County. I am a multi-racial first-generation American.

We will both be sharing our stories.

Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions you may have about the process. Our goal right now is to collect as many essays as we can.

You may be afraid to speak out. Joel and I both can assure you that staying silent about sexual assault will not help you heal. It took time, but Joel found the strength to tell his story. You can, too. And we are ready to listen. n Send your essays, and any questions, to senior editor Nina Hoffmann at nhoffmann@philadelphiaweekly.com

hen I was younger and I’d say, ‘I’m a conductor,’ people would look at me all confused, like, ‘You drive a train?’” says Jeri Lynne Johnson, bursting into a bright laugh. “I had to step back and realize that this is normal for me, it’s what I wanted to do my whole life, but it might be unusual to other people.”

The vivacious Johnson, 40, is the founder and music director of Philly’s acclaimed Black Pearl Chamber Orchestra, and one of a precious few professional AfricanAmerican female conductors in the nation.

A first-rate ensemble, the nonprofit Black Pearl is as notable for its ethnic diversity as its musicality: The 40-member core is comprised equally of blacks, Latinos, Asians, whites and Middle Easterners.

“It’s always been a primary concern that the orchestra reflects the community, and Philadelphia is such a diverse city,” says Johnson, “but quality is an equal concern.

The two are not negotiable.” To that end, many of Black Pearl’s players hail from such prestigious musical training grounds as Philly’s Curtis Institute, New York City’s Juilliard School and Baltimore’s Peabody Institute.

Watching Johnson lead them is remarkable and engrossing. During quieter passages, her body movements are as fluid and graceful as a ballet dancer, her baton gently arcing through the air like a natural extension of her index finger. In the more bombastic moments, her physicality turns forceful, dynamic and intense, like a fencer parrying and thrusting but never relinquishing poise or control.

There’s an old saying that “every dictator aspires to be a conductor,” and while Johnson jokes that her job provides her with “one of the few times in your life where you can do whatever you want and people have to do what you tell them,” she says she’s avoided embodying the stereotype of the pompous maestro terrorizing musicians in a quest for perfection.

Johnson’s presence, skill and ability to coax the best out of her players has earned her attention and guest-conducting gigs outside of Philly. In February, she led an orchestra that backed rapper Jay-Z at a pair of benefit concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall. But Black Pearl, which Johnson founded in 2007, is her truest love, the actualization of a dream the Illinois native harbored since seeing her first classical performance when she was 7.

“It was incredible, and right then I wanted to be a conductor,” says Johnson,

Jeri Lynne Johnson: “It’s always been a primary concern that the orchestra reflects the community ... but quality is an equal concern. The two are not negotiable.” who is classically trained in piano but explains that the “orchestra is my instrument to the extent that—and I don’t mean this in a bad way—I can manipulate people to make sounds.”

A graduate of the University of Chicago, where she conducted the school’s chamber orchestra, Johnson first came to Philly in 2000 to become assistant conductor of the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. After four years, she moved to London for a few years to work and study.

Then, in 2007, she had the pivotal experience of her life, one that she describes as “both devastating and inspirational”—the irritant that created the pearl, so to speak.

Trying out for a music director position with an orchestra in California, competing against hundreds of applicants, she was one of the final three candidates. But she didn’t get the job, and when she asked a member of the search committee what she could improve on, “he said, ‘You just don’t look like what our audiences would expect a conductor to look like.’”

Johnson was appalled. “He was a nice person but it was horribly racist. I could have written letters or sued them, but it gave me hope, too, because it wasn’t that I’m not talented. And it seemed crazy to me, because ticket sales have been plummeting and orchestras have been trying to attract diverse audiences for decades, but people are afraid to risk their financial welfare on me as the face of the orchestra?

So I decided to start my own group that would be all about diversity and quality,

and prove it can work.”

Johnson returned to Philly later that year and founded Black Pearl, starting out with a handful of musicians she knew well. These days, their performances around town— from the Kimmel Center to the Philadelphia Episcopal Cathedral—typically sell out.

As Black Pearl’s president and music director, Johnson’s work is varied and hectic. Much of her day is spent on the administrative and marketing side, particularly fundraising efforts. But, of course, there’s the artistic part, too. There are rehearsals: “That’s where I earn my money,” she laughs. And she sets aside at least three hours a day at home—typically from 10 p.m. until the wee hours of the morning, since that’s when the emails and phone calls cease—to study scores, taking apart each piece instrument group by instrument group. “I know every single instrument note by note by the time I’m done,” she says, “and you want to study the different ways of balancing sound.”

Still, Johnson’s never too busy to think about Black Pearl’s social mission beyond the music, or her own career path. “The world is going to tell you ‘no’ and you have to decide whether or not you’re going to accept that, whatever the barrier is—ethnic, socioeconomic, a physical handicap. Are you going to take no for an answer, or make your own fate?” n Workin’ It is written by staff writer Michael Alan Goldberg, who peeks into the working lives of Philadelphians.

s a politically active advocate, Tammy Lerner is all too familiar with the dubious ways that politicians give the runaround when dealing with controversial legislation in Harrisburg. But last week, after watching a live stream of a House floor session on statute of limitation reform for child sex-abuse cases—the issue she’s been working on since 2006—her blood was boiling. “[It was] deplorable,” says Lerner. “It’s so maniacal and underhanded.”

Some background: As reported by PW in February, House Rep. Louise Bishop (DPhiladelphia) and Rep. Michael McGeehan (D-Philadelphia) have taken the lead in the latest attempt to revise Pennsylvania’s statutes of limitation (SOL) on child sex abuse, an issue that has been viciously fought over in Harrisburg for years.

Bishop’s bill made headlines last fall when, in the wake of the arrest of former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, the 78-year-old representative shakily spoke out at a press conference, for the first time in her life, about being sexually assaulted by her stepfather when she was 12 years old. Bishop’s 66 years of silence reflects research that shows it’s common for victims of child sex abuse to delay disclosure for years, often until there is a triggering event.

For Bishop, that was the Penn State scandal.

Currently in Pennsylvania, alleged victims of child sex abuse have until the age of 50 to file criminal charges and 30 to file a civil lawsuit against their attackers. Bishop’s bill sought to abolish the age limit altogether on both the civil and criminal side. McGeehan’s bill proposed that, like Delaware and California have done, Pennsylvania install a twoyear “window” for civil suits.

A window is a specified period of time, in this case two years, wherein victims who did not get to file charges before aging out of the statute of limitation are able to file civil lawsuits against their attackers. A civil window is the only option because the Supreme Court has ruled that windows for criminal prosecution are unconstitutional.

With a civil suit, accusers—like at least one victim of Sandusky’s; like all

“It’s like having a lifetime gag order against us from talking about it, which continues the victimization.” the alleged victims of disgraced Philadelphia Daily News sports writer Bill Conlin; like all of the alleged victims detailed in the 2005 grand jury report on the Philadelphia archdiocese; and like Tammy Lerner—at least have a way to publicly identify their attackers.

Lerner, 42, didn’t know about statute of limitation laws until she tried to bring her abuser to justice and was told it was too late. Current law means that even though the man who allegedly raped her from the time she was 4 until she was 12 years old openly admitted what he did to her and another little girl, he can’t be charged by the state or sued by either woman. In fact, Lerner can be sued by the man who raped her if she names him, even if it’s to warn other parents with children in his vicinity.

“It’s like having a lifetime gag order against us from talking about it, which continues the victimization,” Lerner says.

Despite the spotlight from the Phila-

10

delphia Archdiocese and Penn State trials and subsequent calls to examine Pennsylvania laws pertaining to child sex abuse, Bishop’s and McGeehan’s bills stalled for 15 months. Advocates have repeatedly pointed to Reps. Ron Marsico (R-Dauphin) and Thomas Caltagirone (D-Berks), the respective majority and minority chairs of the House Judiciary Committee, as the obstacles. Committee chairs routinely stonewall bills by simply refusing to place them on the calendar.

Last month, an organization co-founded

by Lerner, the Foundation to Abolish Sex Abuse, took Marsico on in a rare, bold way by publishing a newspaper ad and calling him out by name. Marsico pointedly refused to publicly respond to the ad, but word was that he was furious. Then, Reps. Bishop and McGeehan struck while the iron was hot and filed a discharge resolution, a rarely used parliamentary procedure that pries the bill out of a chair’s hands and onto the floor for vote.

Under pressure, Marsico and Caltagirone finally took action, but then pulled their own crafty maneuver. Last Wednesday, they finally brought the bills to the floor, then unceremoniously defanged them. They allowed Bishop’s bill to abolish the SOL for criminal prosecution— and added an amendment to extend the civil age to 50 years old, rather than abolishing it entirely. But they struck the key two-year window legislation out of

McGeehan’s bill. And to advocates, the window is the most important part of SOL reform, because it offers an avenue for those survivors who’ve already aged past the SOL. So abolishing the SOL is definitely progress—but only protects future victims because the law is not retroactive.

The Insurance Federation of PA, a staunch opponent to the legislation that incidentally donated money in 2012 to both Caltagirone and Marsico but to neither Bishop nor McGeehan, is surely pleased. As is the PA Catholic Conference, which isn’t required to disclose the expenditures but lobbies hard against the legislation for reasons that are now, given the landmark child endangerment conviction of Msgr. Lynn and forthcoming civil suits, sadly obvious.

Then came the real lesson in Harrisburg spin: Next, Marsico and Caltagirone introduced HB 2488. The bill wasn’t on the schedule, because it didn’t exist before then. You guessed it: HB2488 does what Bishop’s and McGeehan’s amended bills would do, but now Marsico and Caltagirone get the credit.

In the session, Marsico lamented that he was displeased with the “premature action” of the Committee, because he would have rather have waited for the recommendations of the Task Force on Child Protection that was set up last year, due in November. Said Task Force, however, created from a resolution sponsored by—surprise—Marsico and Caltagirone, is expressly not charged with considering window legislation.

“It was really, truly disgusting watching the bantering back and forth between these men who hold the fate of a lot of children in their hands,” says Lerner.

So for now, the window legislation is dead. But Lerner refuses to give up.

“We’re going to keep turning up the heat,” she says. “We’re not going away. I want every single one of their constituents to know this issue in and out.”

Marsico wants to “educate” his constituents, too. The headline of the newsletter sent out after the session trumpeted: “Marsico Passes Child Protection Legislation through House Judiciary Committee.” n The Breakdown is written by staff writer Tara Murtha, who regularly reports on urban violence, gender issues, animal welfare and any other social-justice issues we can think of.

hen W. Simone Di Piero received the phone call telling him he was to be awarded the annual Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, he didn’t believe the caller for two reasons: One, it was April 1, and two—“This kind of stuff doesn’t happen to me.”

But it had. A $100,000 cash prize awarded annually by the Chicago-based Poetry Foundation, it’s among the most prestigious and lucrative honors in the literary world. And Di Piero, 67, born and raised in South Philadelphia, was being recognized for a lifetime’s worth of writings: 10 books of poetry, as well as five collections of well-received essays on topics ranging from visual art to personal memoir.

Though he left the city at 23 to go to school in San Francisco—where he lives still, a professor emeritus in the English department at Stanford— Philadelphians and Philly images still resonate in Di Piero’s work. For instance, a typical passage from the poem “Jewana Got Gypped,” which appears in his 2007 poetry collection Chinese Apples: He comes down Watkins Street, Thursdays, at dusk, [….] He hates us more than we hate ourselves. Ma va, stronzini!

I’ll punch you little fucker faces and fry your balls for breakfast.

Then you’ll see who got gypped! We like him, but we’re afraid of his craziness. He’s not us.

“I grew up in a village,” Di Piero says. “South Philly was a village. I came of age listening to the language of my people.” His dad was “what was then called a ‘maintenance man’” at Temple University Hospital; his mother worked on an assembly line in a factory in northwest Philadelphia that manufactured circuit breakers.

And while all his family is still in Philly, he says—calling himself “the only one who left”—he no longer visits the old neighborhood. “Of course you have to stop coming back… when it doesn’t give anything back to you. If I had grown up in a house with a garden, some mythic garden, I’d write about that—but I didn’t. No one in South Philly did.”

South Philly son W. S. Di Piero gets some serious love from the national poetry community.

By Kathleen Volk Miller feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Di Piero’s characters and images are mostly urban, whether they’re placed in Philadelphia, San Francisco, or the many places he’s visited. What’s consistent is Di Piero’s ability to see beauty in everything from homeless wanderers to high-maintenance women. The absence of judgment in regards to class and caste is also consistent, and rare when covering subjects such as his.

Poet J.T. Barbarese, a professor at Rutgers’ Camden campus, comes from the same Italian Philly background. As a peer both professionally and geo-socially, he suggests that Di Piero’s perspective on the city is best exemplified in his essay “Gots Is What You Got,” which appears in the book City Dog. Di Piero sums up the South Philly attitude thus: “My people always seemed to be picking a fight with circumstance, with the very fact of circumstance, and in the absence of specific aggravating circumstance the cosmos would do. I did not know how strange or peculiar this was until I left it behind and found outside my culture a broader and more pliable medium for moral feeling. Nor did I realize how deeply its music had settled in my heart until I heard in my poetry that same extremity of unease and rage at circumstance.”

It’s a pure expression, Barbarese says, of Philadelphia’s longstanding neighborhood culture—of the nature of that “village” Di Piero grew up in.

Yet the poet’s words have resonated with readers far and wide. The New York Times gushed over Nitro Nights, his 2001 book of verse, Skirts and Slacks, saying: “With language that’s as simple as it is musical, Di Piero sets dazzling moments amid plainsong.”

“If I’m lucky,” Di Piero says, “the Lilly will give my work more presence in a world of writing and poetry that depends so much, too much, on rumor, gossip, and permissions. I’m an old rat, so the prize won’t have any effect on my habits and rhythms of work. In my life, I don’t own a car—so with the prize money, I take more cabs.”

Barbarese, his colleague, has a simpler perspective on Di Piero’s award: “It’s about fucking time.” n >> NEXT PAGE: W.S. Di Piero’s “St. Agnes Hospital Archive”

Ike See these scars? Like razor cuts. Dead palms.

The navy wanted volunteers, so I went to rescue guys in Alaska, we went far out, brought them back, you bet, ropes, pack ice, axes, what have you.

My hands got frostbit, sliced like bacon.

I don’t have to feel to carry things but Doc was giving up, on the toilet, and man has a dignity, you’d think, and he squirmed like a loose hose, an eel, so, sorry I yelled, I didn’t know it was your first day standing.

Sammy digs you, says you looked funny, not ha-ha but like a picture that’s crooked, leaning on the wall the way you did.

“Help! Here!” I’m sorry, it cracked me up.

Doc was gone anyway. You wanted to run and gather a posse for sure. Here! Here!

You’ll get your legs back someday, maybe.

That’s just me talking. I’d bet on it, though.

Samantha I call you my boy toy, my hot ruined Casper, the girls at the station, they fall down laughing.

Tell me if I rub too hard, the alcohol can burn you up.

Doc Cohen’s really nice, but he’s all bone and Jell-O and doesn’t deserve how bad she treats him. Shy, like you, and I’ll bet he never lets on how his wife wakes him up, got a gun to his head, or hers, poor thing. Us, we’ll get close when you’re out.

You need a little loving …

So get those legs back, I’ll take you clubbing, we’ll hit the Boat, or Pep’s.

That woman, I don’t know how some people don’t like life, plus they’re moneybags.

She sticks her head in the oven, turns on the gas and waits, just like that, you know, while he’s lifting the garage door.

SUlly You need a haircut more than a bear needs sleep, young man.

You let it grow so long, you’re a love kid—you’d last two minutes max inside. Long-haired freaks, get outta my way, but everybody’s got a right. The difference between manslaughter and murder, first or second degree, I’m here to tell you, is intent, and you try proving that. I never thought there was much difference. At least I learned a trade, which is more than I can say about the creeps inside, not like, though, I could walk into any shop, get a chair, hold a razor, once I’m out of here, which makes it sound like there’s no difference, hospital or jail, go figure, like some people say, college people some of them, like you. They’re right, except for one big difference: that there’s a difference. You want a shave, too?

Just kidding. Lookee here, hands like rocks.

Ike My hands work okay, but don’t you talk about that fellow’s head Sully broke a beer bottle on and killed him dead. At a wedding is what I heard, he had serious drink in him, that’s the key to the city.

Why he talked so much to you, I don’t know, he don’t talk much to me or nobody. Talked to you because, bet on it, he knew you couldn’t just get up and walk away. You’re a lucky cripple, bet that one.

He’d cut anybody’s throat for a nickel and a smile.

Doc Paris was beautiful and I was young, a GI who’d never even left Philly, but we who lived to see it were alive, and like those girls in cotton shifts the breeze pawed, I wanted to paw…

You didn’t have to touch to know how you’d always remember them.

But the camps, our first look inside, made me a Jew all over again.

Your poetry, I used to read poetry, has words for evil, but what can it do except name it, then name it again?

Eye sockets, you remembered them most.

Eyes that shall never open with wonder again.

I actually thought those words but knew what a punk thought it was.

Et in Arcadio ego, kiddo, right?

I despaired of us, killers yawning at their tasks, grooving evenings to Schubert or Mozart. And there I was, the helpless healer, a big joke, belief bled from my heart. Now look at me, banal drama queen, the dying darling, sick at heart, heartsick, heartsore. So what?

I’m nobody’s fool, or God’s fool maybe.

Those summery girls, the bunk-racks, all those damned bones and so-called showers…

I shipped home. My bride was waiting and cried in our dark kitchen for weeks. n

Well, without getting too Bohemian on you, basically it’s an annual artist production-turned-movement created by local writer/poet Ms. Wise in hopes of promoting “universal and self-love through the arts.” Now in its third year, the all-ages event will feature a packed lineup of spoken-word and slam poets including Sunni Patterson, MJ Harris, Bethlehem Roberson and Lyrical The Lyricist as well as holistic body painting

We’re not sure how many cello players it takes to screw in a light bulb, but if you want an estimate on the number it takes to cover Lil Wayne, Rhianna or Justin Timberlake, try anywhere from four to 12. The Portland Cello Project, started in 2007 by Tony Rogers, marshals up to a dozen players at a time in night clubs and rock venues. They play material from a repertoire of more than 900 songs, drawn from classical music, jazz, metal, hip-hop, folk and cheesy 1970s balladry (early on, they covered John Denver’s “Take Me Home Country Roads”). Live, they sit in a circle, bowing away in intricate, multipart treatments of unexpected material, like Kanye and Jay-Z’s “Ni**as in Paris” or Pantera’s “Mouth of War.” Jennifer Kelly 8pm. $10.

Kaskade

Ms. Wise

18

It’s surprising how Kaskade is now seen as a major player in this current, much-publicized dance-music craze that’s going on all over

the place. (It’s also funny how people have forgotten about the overhyped, dance-music hubbub that went down in the late ’90s, something that died down quickly once people realized they were listening to Prodigy.)

Compared to young punks like Skrillex—who appeared on Kaskade’s last album, 2011’s Fire and Ice—and deadmau5, the 40-something Kaskade is basically an old fogey. (The man has kids, for Chrissakes!) Besides, we remember the Chicago house spinner—real name: Ryan Raddon—when he dropped releases on the West Coast dance-music label Om back in the mid-aughts. Kaskade is definitely one of these vets who still remember when DJs actually spun vinyl records and none of that Serato/ laptop shit. So, Philly parents, you can rest assured knowing that if your kids are going to a DJ show headlined by Kaskade, they will be in safe hands. An adult will be there, looking out for them. craig d. lindsey 7:30pm. $40. With Alvin Risk, Fareoh and Kap Slap. Penn’s Landing, Spring Garden St. and Columbus Blvd. festivalpierphilly.com

29 Jesse Maline Most think that there are two schools of thought musician Jesse Malin could fall into.

Surviving the ’70s and ’80s means he could belong in the traditional “I remember when ...” school of rock ’n’ roll reserved for those who hit their prime back in the day. Then there’s the newer and more trendy school that follows the “I kept up with the changing times of rock music,” ethos reserved for those both talented and timeless. It’s no question that the 44-yearold falls into a school of his own that is both reminiscent of the beginnings of rock ’n’ roll and edgy at the same time. gaBrielle cHePUrny 9pm. $10-$12.

Burlesque Showcase Pride Month comes to a fitting climax with this celebration of burlesque at Sisters, the city’s only lesbian bar. Curator Timaree Schmit, who’ll also grace the stage, has gathered a bevy of beauties for the soiree, which is guaranteed to please both first-time viewers and dedicated fans of the art form.

Sure, the audience will get to see some skin, but burlesque is far more than just getting naked: It blends elements of song and dance, brief skits and plenty of ribald humor with the striptease. This evening’s performers include the lovely Kiki Berlin, a seasoned siren who’s making her return appearance, and Erica Camille, who’ll demonstrate the proper way to work a pole. Annie A-Bomb has been known to mix a bit of politics with her pleasure, and there will even be some drag courtesy of Therese. Also making her debut at the showcase is Nikki Malicious of the Rigor Mortis Revue, a group of geek girls fond of horror and sci-fi themed shows.

In the Dark: Radiolab Live The creators of Radiolab—genius composer Jad Abumrad and inventive NPR alum Robert Krulwich—are attempting to resurrect the medium of radio.

Experimenting with live-action, audio wizardry, science and humor, they’ve created a storytelling hybrid that breaks from the traditions of terrestrial radio. Among the audible re-enactments: an astronaut’s retelling of his spacewalk, reality described by two blind men, and the evolution of the human eye. Assisting in the lab will be the Daily Show’s Demetri Martin, Grammynominated dance troupe Pilobolus, and the soulful acoustic styling of genre bending artist Thao Nguyen—think Beck spliced with Jack Johnson. Pilobolus—seen in the Busby Berkeley meets Human Centipede “All Is Not Lost” video by Ok Go—use their doublejointed extremities to contort and construct the sonic set pieces for the stories being brought to life. Martin, host of Comedy Central’s Important Things with Demetri Martin, entertains with self-described “Nerd Humor.” Yes, he graduated from Yale—more importantly, he juggles. Bill Morse 8pm. $37-$50.

hy spend your Sunday night trolling the Internet for porn when you can watch a bunch of shameless strangers hump the air live before your very eyes? Set to the music clip of their choosing and donning their best bedroom attire, participants will each get two minutes to creep out/impress the crowd as they get it on with an imaginary partner. The only rules are those set in place by the state of Pennsylvania, including that they keep their junk concealed.

The three favorites—determined by local celebrity judges—from the first round will advance and must perform to a surprise piece of music. Ultimately, it’ll be up to the audience to decide which lucky individual goes home with a prize package and the chance to compete against the best air humpers in the nation. The night also features live music from New Jersey rockers Big Damn Heroes and the eclectic, multi-chickfronted act Molly Rhythm, along with a stand-up set by comedian Ian Fidance. N.F.

Naked Girls Reading: Pretty in Pulp Listen up, palooka. Put down that racing form and cast your peepers over this item.

Five beautiful broads are gonna peel off their glad rags and read you some bedtime stories courtesy of typewriter-jockeys like Raymond Chandler. Sound too good to be true? Well, it ain’t. This high-class literary salon got started in the Windy City back in 2009. Local artiste Miss Rose got wise to it and decided to bring it to this burg. She’s in cahoots with Hayley Jane, Miss Mary Wanna, Nasty Canasta and Ruby Solitaire. These dishes all got great gams and healthy lungs. In fact, they look like they coulda just stepped right off the cover of your favorite dog-eared paperback. Curious to know if they’ll pull off this caper? It’s gonna cost you some scratch, but less than a double sawbuck. Of course, if you’re dizzy over some dame, bring her along and Miss Rose’ll give you a discount for being all gentleman-like, because she knows a hard-boiled guy like you always figures the percentage. So ankle it on over and case this joint. R.s.

In the ’90s, when most rappers were spinning yarns about “stick-up kids, corrupt cops and crack rocks,” only able to see the harshness right in front of them, Talib Kweli looked beyond. He rapped about the potential to be more, while remaining keenly aware of the hardships and temptations that threaten to erode such aspirations. Kweli knows the system is broken, and still raps about that plenty. But he also wants to know how it broke, and seeks solutions on how it can be fixed. He’s always done so without the militant baggage of the ’80s rap scholars—X Clan, Paris—who preceded him; he’s the smart guy who doesn’t have to constantly remind you how smart he is. Or, as Kweli himself put it on “K.O.S. (Determination),” “At exactly which point do you start to realize/ That life without knowledge is just death in disguise?” Preach.

Roots Mural Arts Paint Day Throw on your paint smock and get artsy with the Mural Arts Program during public paint day this week. Part of the Wawa Welcome America! celebration, Mural Arts invites people of all ages to come out and help paint the new mural, which honors the Roots and their history at city schools (Black Thought and ?uestlove went to the High School for Creative and Performing Arts) and the band’s contributions to the city. The newest addition to Philly’s mural scene will be showcased as part of the South Street corridor, on Sixth and South Streets. The spot is doubly meaningful: It’s in the South Street Headhouse District, where the Roots started, and it’s also across the street from the “Mapping Courage: Honoring the Legacy of WEB Dubois and Engine 11” mural.

Bacon and Booze Square Peg satisfies with a cocktail-infused Sunday brunch.

id-morning on a Sunday can be a delicate time. What seemed like a good idea the night before, that extra cocktail at the bar before heading home, the bag of pretzels or chips on the couch to absorb the excess booze … The brunch choices made on a Saturday or Sunday morning are, as often as not, medical decisions as much as they are gustatory ones.

The irony, of course, is that that delicate condition often necessitates aggressive food, the fat and salt salving our wounds.

And Square Peg, at brunch at least, does so with real success, whether or not you’re still cotton-mouthed from the night before.

For instance: banana bread, while nothing out of the ordinary, is nonetheless a warm plate of comfort, the palm-thick slices studded with melty chocolate chips and topped with generous pats of caramel butter. Deviled eggs leverage the subtle heat of a wasabi mayo and a caviar-like dollop of pickled mustard seeds to electrify the silky yolks and slippery whites.

Matt Levin, of course, has come in for a bit of criticism for what he’s done here. He was, after all, the chef at Lacroix, where he managed to meld fine dining with a more brash, contemporary spin. Then at Adsum, initially a critical darling before losing its mojo, Levin found his footing with an almost ballet-like dance between the high and the low.

At Square Peg, however, though some of his old twists are still in evidence, his focus at brunch is on comfort almost exclusively. And he’s taken a bit of a beating as a result; the online commentariat have been ambivalent, the word-of-mouth, especially regarding dinner, uneven. We, however, have decided to review the Peg’s brunch, as the restaurant’s space, formerly Marathon Grill, is, for many of us, inextricably associated with that meal. So we set out to see how it handled the weekend tradition.

Quite well, it turns out. In addition to the standards, there are enough tweaks throughout the menu to keep things interesting. Grilled cheese is stuffed with mac and cheese: It’s a fatty, gluttonous, satisfyingly uncomplicated dish, with a successful interplay between the gooey and the crisp. An omelet is filled with a smoked goat cheese that somehow actually highlights the sweetness of the eggs themselves. The breakfast sandwich is a massive, fat torpedo, the eggs just drippy enough, the chihuahua cheese melting throughout, the homemade chorizo sizzling with a low-level spice that’s more

implied than realized; porkiness is the focus here. Neither one is a life-changer, but they’re well-crafted components to a more than respectable brunch-time repertoire.

It’s with the cocktails that things get a bit more creative. I particularly liked the Bacon Mary, which bypasses vodka as a base for the bacon infusion and instead uses Laphroaig 10, whose own smokiness and inherent salinity are perfect compliments to the pig. The Bourbon Royale is a sort of amped-up riff on the bellini, with Combier providing the fruit and Maker’s Mark an added sense of smoke and honey to the champagne.

Of course, a brunch beer is also a great option, especially with the hangover-killing fried chicken. And while I’m not sure the Kool Aid-pickled watermelon is any better or more interesting than plain old slices of the fruit, it really didn’t matter: That chicken, almost inconceivably moist inside its shatteringly crisp crust, is a more than worthy addition to our city’s already sub-

stantial selection of fried birds. The General Tso chicken Cobb salad, on the other hand, is a bit more outré, though ultimately a success. It makes sense on the palate, if not immediately on paper: The salty-sweetness of the quintessential cheep-Chinese delivery dish pairs well with blue cheese and bacon. There’s an honest, visceral satisfaction to it.

When it comes to brunch, Square Peg is a more than worthy successor in the old Marathon space, and an appealing addition to the city’s ever-expanding base of weekend-morning dining options. It may not be Lacroix, or even Adsum, but it’s not supposed to be. And in terms of what it’s trying to achieve, it’s hitting its mark very well. n

Blue Cat

fondue that adds a sweet acidity to each bite. (Cristina Perachio)

1921 Fairmount Ave. 267.519.2911. bluecatrestaurant.com Cuisine: Latin-inspired comfort food.

Blue Cat’s airy, friendly atmosphere, casual and competent service, and comfortable pan-Latin food bring new freshness and life to its Fairmount neighborhood. Salmon filet, beneath a gorgeous crust from the cast-iron skillet, is a simple, delicate dish, topped with a mango salsa as straightforward as it is bright. Chacarero, a riff on the Chilean sandwich, is piled high with avocado, string beans, red pepper and grilled chicken; this is a sandwich that’s as filling as it is unexpectedly good for you. (Brian Freedman)

Rebel Rock Bar & Bites

611 S. Seventh St. 215.238.0900. nomadpizzaco.com Cuisine: Considerate, well-constructed pizza.

This is as neighborhoody and pleasant as it gets, a charming oasis from the craziness of South Street a block away, and a great entry to the city’s everexpanding pizza-stakes. All of the pizzas are framed by a dough that’s crafted in-house. Straightforward margherita di buffala pizza benefited from the palate-filling milkiness of the cheese. Against the simple, elegant San Marzano sauce and gentle dusting of sea salt and pepper, this pizza worked on a deeply primal level. (B.F.)

2218 Frankford Ave. 215.634.5666. thepickledheron.com Cuisine: Contemporary American by way of France.

The Pickled Heron turns out a seared foie gras that ranks among my favorites in town, expertly cooked to buttery tenderness 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. 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. (L.B.)

Alla Spina

1410 Mt. Vernon St. 215.600.0017. allaspinaphilly.com Cuisine: Italian gastropub.

Defying expectations is the name of the game at Alla Spina, where Marc Vetri’s widely acclaimed hospitality gets a lowbrow make-under to match the cuisine. Pig tails are fried, rendering the considerable fat succulent and the strands of meat both crisp and redolent with piggy goodness—think crunchy bacon and fatty pork belly, twisted together around a bone not unlike a chicken wing. Awash in fennel agrodolce and topped with the filmiest hint of fennel fronds, they are best eaten with your fingers, a lip-smacking treat that manages to be at once sweet, sour, salty and rich. (L.B.)

Vedge

1221 Locust St. 215.320.7500 Cuisine: Ambitious, creative vegan.

Vedge, which resides in the stunning space once occupied by Deux Cheminées, does more to bridge the chasm between the artificially distant worlds of the omnivore and the vegan than any restaurant I’ve ever visited. Grilled gochujang tofu boasts three (three!) separate rounds of marinating and arrives in a shallow pool of smoked miso dashi, crowned by a translucent lace of yuba “cracklin,” and accompanied by an edamame puree: soy beans four ways, each of them remarkable. (B.F.)

Soup at M Kee

M Kee

1002 Race St. 215.238.8883 Cuisine: Wide-ranging Chinese.

M Kee is the kind of place you root for: The service couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating, and the restaurant itself, with its cheery orange accents and uniforms, is welcoming. The highlights are probably what you’d expect—they’re hanging right in the window.

Excellently named “roast pig” is just that: Tender rectangles of remarkably “porky” pork, each resting beneath a layer of cracker-

Hop Sing Laundromat

1029 Race St. hopsinglaundromat.com Cuisine: Classics done right, plus exciting signature craft cocktails.

If you look at the names of Hop Sing’s signature cocktails, the majority of them pay homage to America. The “Montana Payback” is named after the Battle of Little Bighorn. “A Failed Entertainment” was the working title of Infinite Jest. Turns out that this fascination with America goes to the heart of who owner Lêe is—and, perhaps, to what motivates him. Before he began conceiving Hop Sing Laundromat in 2009, Lêe spent nearly three months bouncing around all 48 continental United States in an Audi TT, exploring the country and absorbing the food and drink cultures he came across along the way. With his sixth sense for flavor and balance, and with senior bartender Robert Fuentevilla on the team, the reality of Hop Sing hasn’t just met the pre-opening buzz—it has well-exceeded it. (B.F.) n

Russet, a B.Y.O.B housed in a converted rowhome in Rittenhouse, crafts a daily menu around a few choice local ingredients. Hand-rolled garganelli pasta comes with spinach, a sunny-side-up egg and crispy, thickcut guanciale—unsmoked Italian bacon made from pig jowl or cheek.

After breaking the egg yolk to coat the pasta, the resulting taste is that of a deconstructed carbonara. Stinging nettles make an appearance on the American red snapper, alongside Jerusalem artichokes and a tomato

The house mac ’n’ cheese is creamy, bright and big enough to share, whether served plain or studded with lobster meat or bacon; it’s compulsively eatable, and on two separate occasions, I found myself cleaning the plate. Gravy fries, beneath melted cheese slices and savory dark brown gravy, are the stuff that hangover cures are made of. Braised pork sliders arrive three to an order, with sweet and savory pulled pork studded with apples generously piled onto fluffy, buttered and grilled buns. (Leah Blewett)

Hey, buddy: Christopher Sutton (right) reprises the titular role in Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story.

A

fter rock ’n’ roll legend Buddy Holly died in a plane crash in 1959, Don McLean commemorated the tragedy as “the day the music died” in his song “American Pie.” Luckily for us, the man and the music live again in the Walnut Street Theatre’s extravagant jukebox musical, Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story.

A guitar-slinging Texan who is both polite and proud, playwright Alan Janes’ biography of Holly (Christopher Sutton) covers a three-year period between 1956 and 1959. It begins with Holly’s early days in his hometown of Lubbock, Texas, where the local radio DJ (the reliable Anthony Lawton) initially rejects Holly’s songs as sounding too much like “colored music” for the “God-fearing” listeners on the country music station. Holly gets a warmer reception in Clovis, N.M., where he records his early hits with producer Norman Petty (Ned Massey). Among the records Holly makes in Clovis is the classic “Peggy Sue,” which is recorded with the help of Petty’s wife Vi (Angela C. Howell) and the spectacular “Everyday,” which Sutton delivers in a sparkling rendition. The show’s second act focuses primarily on Holly’s final concert in Clear Lake, Iowa, where he performs with the Big Bopper (a fabulously larger-than-life Scott Greer) and the one-hit wonder Ritchie Valens (Miguel Jarquin-Moreland, whose hip-twisting performance of “La Bamba” would make a Chippendale dancer proud).

What makes Buddy such fine escapist entertainment is that like most jukebox musicals, the show is almost entirely devoid of conflict. In Janes’ retelling, any problem or challenge Holly encounters is treated as little more than a triviality that is quickly brushed aside. With remarkable ease, Holly converts Texas’ country

music lovers to his brand of rock ’n’ roll, meets and marries his wife (a courtship that lasts a mere five hours), and rids himself of his band, the Crickets, when his longtime friends start drinking. The speed with which challenges are dispatched is so lighting fast it could seem silly and cartoonish, but Sutton portrays Holly with such sincerity and conviction that we happily go along for the ride.

This isn’t the first time Sutton has played the titular role in The Buddy Holly Story at the Walnut; in 1999, he won a Barrymore Award for his performance as the spectaclewearing musician. Thirteen years later, he doesn’t reprise his performance as much as reinvent it. Sutton (who is blessed with an eternally boyish appearance) is as energetic as ever, but under John Daniels’ exacting music and voice direction, he has become a more mature and thoughtful vocalist—two traits that are put to good use on the production’s most intimate arrangement, “True Love Ways.” Sutton’s sweet voice compliments the song’s sole acoustic guitar beautifully (he is an accomplished guitarist as well) and the tune’s emotional impact is surprisingly forceful. It doesn’t hurt that Sutton is married in real life to Lyn Philistine, who plays Holly’s wife in the production.

The production receives a big boost from the talented Matt Kraus, whose sound design is as sharp as it is powerful, especially on the rousing cover of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode,” which inspires the audience to literally dance in the aisles.

Overall, director Casey Hushion’s production succeeds on every level. n Through July 22. $10-$75. Walnut Street Theatre, 825 Walnut St. 215.574.3550. walnutstreettheatre.org

“I

t’s all one installation,” insists Philadelphia-based artist Tim Eads. “That’s the short answer.”

He’s painted the small gallery space at Rebekah Templeton in brightly colored, geometric sections and filled the resulting playroom with an assembly of disparate sculptures that whir, drip and ping. If Eads’ solo exhibition, Species of Spaces, functions as a single installation, then it proposes an explosion of species in one very tiny universe.

Or maybe ‘cozy’ is a better word. Each block of paint sidles up to the next; a delicate wooden sculpture leans into its reflection in a Plexiglas puddle; extension cords lie snug in slips of shiny fabric. Eads makes art in various media and Species gave him a chance to showcase it all. “They were giving me the space to investigate all of my works together,” he recalls, pointing out that galleries often prefer to show discrete works of art that are easier to sell. But for Eads, his prints, sculptures and wall paintings are all part of a single vision that Rebekah Templeton understood: “I make all of those things, so in my mind they should exist together. It was an exciting opportunity.”

While not impossible to parse (there is a price list that offers individual elements for sale), Species makes the task delightfully complicated. There are moving parts and noisy parts, self-contained digital prints and rangy extension chords, but they all subsist together in a chipper alliance. For an ecosystem that contains so many players, there’s very little antagonism.

It’s this proximity—and harmony—of various objects with certain others that produces Species’ idiosyncratic chorus. Although Eads has experimented with sound in his studio for some time, the last six months has marked a new phase of incorporating audio elements into his exhibitions. “In a way, it’s a step forward,” he reflects. “I’ve already been creating these mechanical elements and I’m interested in the sounds that they make.” In Species, these sounds reverberate through the floorboards and grind into your ears.

There’s a device that spins twist-ties against a metal wire and a cone that amplifies the soft roar of an aquarium pump. The sounds run on cycles and the chorus changes often.

Eads seems particularly interested in the physical and metaphorical implications of the fact that sound carries; he references experiments like his collaborative performance with sound artist Austen Brown at the opening reception as pointing the way forward: “I’ve been doing installations for a few years now,” Eads says, “I’m just trying to take it a little bit farther.”

Team players: Disparate sculptures make one giant installation.

So far, so good. Reflecting on his three short years in Philadelphia, Eads is understandably upbeat: “In terms of showing here, I’ve had a really good time.” He landed his first solo show in Philly before he even had a studio; when he found a studio, it turned out to be free; the free studio had access to a woodshop. And so on. “I sort of fell into what I refer to as a ‘tub of butter,’” admits the Texas native.

But for Eads, comfort food is more than just a metaphor for hard work richly rewarded. Food often provides a moment of legible calm within his complex installations, and Species is no exception. “It’s this really familiar thing that everyone can relate to,” he says, talking about the potato chips he fried up at the opening reception. For that dish, he rigged a drill to shave thin curls of potato with a circular blade. In previous projects, he’s made a pedal-controlled butter churn and served chuck wagon grub. In this regard, food seems as fundamental to Eads’ art as it is to any living organism: “There are a lot of artists who use food, and that’s definitely something I’m interested in. But in terms of making a comment about that, that’s not really where I’m coming from. My primary concern is giving people something they can deal with.” n Through June 30.

Six Pack Six Serious Dream Projects Directed by People Who Write Blockbusters

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com

You Can Count On Me (2000): Every studio hack is a secret poet. Or so they’d like to think. Even the dreaded Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer—of Date Movie, Extreme Movie and other calamities—claim they have serious scripts; their shitty films are just the ones that sell. Kenneth Lonergan is no hack; indeed, he’s no less than the premiere playwright of his generation. But in his mid-20s, he hatched a brilliant plan: write a silly Hollywood script—i.e., Analyze This—then use the cash to fund himself while he wrote This Is Our Youth, his first theatrical success. Lonergan returned to movies, writing and directing this subtle drama, then the catastrophic but, luckily, brilliant Margaret. He also holds sole writing credit on The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Levity (2003): Ed Solomon co-created the Bill and Ted series, then rode that into credits on the Super Mario Bros. movie, Men in Black and Charlie’s Angels. He cashed in with the overly studied redemption drama he always wanted to make, starring Billy Bob Thornton in long gray wig—not the only unintentionally funny aspect of a film that’s an unserious man’s idea of “serious.”

Shattered Glass (2003): Don’t worry if Billy Ray helped conceive Color of Night, Volcano, Hart’s War and Flightplan. His directorial debut was Shattered Glass, a masterful adaptation of Buzz Bissinger’s Stephen Glass smackdown.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K L Y J U N E 2 7 - J U ly 3 , 2 0 1 2

Shattered Glass

Imaginary Heroes (2004): Hot off an X2 credit, young Dan Harris showed his thoughtful side with this rote suburban expose. By contrast, another X2 alum, Zak Penn—also of Last Action Hero, Behind Enemy Lines and, more recently, Marvel products—used his cred to make improv comedies with Werner Herzog (Incident at Loch Ness, The Grand).

First Snow (2007): Mark Fergus, along with partner Hawk Ostby, was the one to “break” the Children of Men script before it was chiseled by others into its current form. He later put time in on Iron Man and Cowboys & Aliens. That said, his “baby”—with Guy Pearce as a doomed salesman—is pretty boring.

Family Matters A man tracks down his half-sister after finding out about her in his father’s will.

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

I

t’s awfully easy to make fun of Tom Cruise these days, and I certainly spill a fair amount of ink doing so in these pages. But when he’s not dangling off tall buildings or lip-syncing to auto-tuned Guns N’ Roses songs, there is a certain type of role the narrowly focused superstar can play in his sleep.

Of course, I’m talking about the fast-talking, callow yuppie scum in desperate need of redemption, and I’m not sure I ever truly appreciated how great Cruise is in this sort of thing until watching Chris Pine flounder his way through People Like Us. The film is a silly, perfectly awful family drama from first-time director Alex Kurtzman, who is perhaps best known for writing Transformers movies. (Yes, apparently somebody writes those.)

Pine is a fine young actor, who in the recent Star Trek reboot managed the unlikely feat of slipping into William Shatner’s iconic Captain Kirk role with just the right amount of cornball gusto. But he’s at a loss here.

First glimpsed speed-jabbering his way through a vaguely defined and possibly illegal job as some sort of corporate barter executive, Pine has an easygoing Midwestern charm that gets lost when he spends most of his time babbling and pacing around in expensive suits. His Sam is supposed to be a smooth up-and-comer who has been living beyond his means and is now drowning in debt, and one wrong word from his grouchy boss (Jon Favreau) lands him in hot water with the Federal Trade Commission.

As if on cue, Sam’s estranged father dies. He does what he can to avoid the funeral, dragging along his doormat girlfriend (Olivia Wilde) and receiving a hearty slap in the face from Mom (Michelle Pfeiffer) when he eventually returns to Los Angeles for the funeral.

But there’s something hinky about the old man’s will, which leaves Sam with a shaving kit full of hundred-dollar bills and instructions to deliver them to another family altogether—yes, it’s the long lost half-sister he never knew he had.

Elizabeth Banks milks the role for every bit of melodramatic oomph she can muster, as a put-upon barmaid with a delinquent son (Michael Hall D’Addario) and a drinking problem that lends itself to several showy would-be Oscar clips at AA meetings.

Sister act: Sam (Chris Pine, left) befriends Frankie (Elizabeth Banks, center), but doesn’t tell her he’s her brother.

She’s a tough broad, barely muddling her way through life, so Pine’s initial reaction is to do … nothing.

See, there wouldn’t be a movie if Chris Pine just walked up to Elizabeth Banks and explained that they were siblings. Instead, People Like Us drags us through one inane misunderstanding after another. First he befriends her weirdo son, taking the kid to a record store and issuing long, overwritten lectures about which bands to listen to before you can finally graduate to digging Television. Then, he hangs around at her bar, and her AA meetings, goofily making doe-eyes and behaving in such a manner that any sane person would go right for a restraining order.

Inexplicably, Pine becomes part of the family, attending outings with Banks and the twerp, clutching his secret stash of cash and wondering when or if he should ever tell this poor girl that they’re related. She’s a horrible parent, leaving her adolescent child with a creepy, over-attentive adult male stranger all the time. Meanwhile, Michelle Pfeiffer looms around the homestead, attempting to cry through her Botox and occasionally throwing things. Olivia Wilde disappears because the movie doesn’t have anything for her to do any more.

You don’t suppose Banks might catch on when she realizes that Pine has the same last name as her recently deceased father? Nope. Such easy logical

People Like Us Grade: D Director: Alex Kurtzman Starring: Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks and Michelle Pfeiffer questions are far beyond the interest of People Like Us. Instead, we’re treated to a constant barrage of insipid musical montages, during which Pine is forced to furrow his brow and stare blankly into the middle distance.

He’s desperately trying to mimic Tom Cruise’s performance in Rain Man, and wears the affectations like an illfitting suit.

Shot in burnished, smoky browns by cinematographer Salvatore Totino, People Like Us overextends the showy tracking shots and shadowy interiors in an attempt to hide the fact that nothing actually happens in this movie. We’ve already wasted 90 minutes before the revelations finally spill, and Banks over-emotes until the cows come home, as the movie keeps falling back on phony screenwriter’s devices and long-winded speeches that never for a moment feel remotely genuine.

And if it sounds like I have forgotten that Pine’s Sam is under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission, that’s OK because so does the movie.

All of this could have been resolved with a single fucking conversation. n

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Grade: C+ Review by Matt Prigge

Lorene Scafaria talks to PW about making it in Hollywood and dealing with the end of the world.

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

L

orene Scafaria began her career by lying to Pizza Hut. The rather distractingly gorgeous 34-year-old writer/ director toiled on a metric ton of unproduced screenplays before her woefully under-seen 2008 adaptation of Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist finally made it to theaters, and since then has mostly been in headlines having little to do with her work. (She’s best friends with Diablo Cody and is often linked in the tabloids with Ashton Kutcher, if such things interest you.)

Scafaria sat down with PW to talk about her directorial debut, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World—a daring, yet weirdly traditional romantic comedy starring Steve Carell and Kiera Knightley, set on the eve of the apocalypse.

But first we had to clear up the Pizza Hut scam.

Lorene Scafaria: Oh God, I was terrible.

In fourth or fifth grade, Pizza Hut had this program called Book It. You would get gift certificates depending on the number of books you read per month. I was really lazy so I would just make up books and write reports on them.

Lorene Scafaria

like: Yeah, that’s harder than what I’m doing, actually. So I tried to keep pushing this rock uphill for at least the rest of the year.

PW: That doesn’t sound lazy.

LS: I guess in hindsight it was more work. I just can’t believe I didn’t get caught, because the titles were like “Grandma’s House by Victoria Johnson.” I managed to get a lot of Pizza Hut meals and took my grandma out to dinner, so I was kind of a hero in my family.

Little did they know I was full of crap. I guess fibbing was my earliest storytelling.

PW: So there’s your origin story?

LS: Well, I heard that Dolly Parton did the same thing. Not for Pizza Hut, but making up book reports … I was also writing screenplays by fourth or fifth grade. I mean, they were not real screenplays in any way. I was obsessed with David Mamet then, so I was trying to write like him. It was really raw. Way too much cursing for my parents’ taste.

PW: You had eight screenplays kicking around Hollywood before Nick And Norah was released. How hard is it to keep working under that kind of constant rejection?

LS: I think death is this equalizer. It’s inevitable and it’s coming for all of us. But I feel like people facing their own individual mortality is a little more terrifying, whereas I think if you have the whole world people can glorify that everybody’s going at once.

And for me, I really liked that aspect of it in metaphor—you always feel like it’s the end of the world if you’re going through a breakup or a divorce. I liked starting from that place and seeing if we can feel uplifted.

PW: So there’s a bit of personal experience here?

LS: I moved from New York to L.A. a week before 9/11. So I was stranded out there knowing nobody and desperate for human contact, and so I found myself calling up old friends I hadn’t talked to in a long time. It was that feeling of this cataclysmic event, and it changes your own individual behavior and your relationships with people. New York was actually a really friendly place for a little while after that. People were looking each other in the eyes. It didn’t last, but for a little while it felt like a community again. Everybody was equalized by this horrible thing, and we were all in the same boat. Or the same sinking ship? There’s something beautiful about humanity coming together like that. n

31

LS: It didn’t really feel like rejection, because I had a career in this. And yet the idea that there wasn’t any output was driving me insane. I had a bit of a meltdown, went to my agent’s office and quit. I threatened to go out for acting jobs. I thought nothing could be harder than this. I was completely wrong. He sent me out [to audition] for Wonder Woman.

I went in and read for two minutes and was

PW: And that’s when you decided to set a romantic comedy during our last days on Earth?

In Wanted, Russian director Timur Bekmambetov unleashed mystical assassins who could shoot bullets with curved trajectories, who routinely deflected bullets with bullets and who received their missions from a magical loom. His follow-up merely features Abraham Lincoln hunting vampires. It’s beneath him. Author Seth Grahame-Smith has made a cottage industry out of product whose best attributes are the titles. It’s nice, with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, that he took all that time to seamlessly weave the ravenous undead into Jane Austen’s prose, but he doesn’t appear to be the deranged fantasist to make something that lives up to his titles. His is laborious work exerted on what would best function as a tweet on a slow afternoon.

The inevitable movie version of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, scripted by Grahame-Smith, is what you’d expect and little more. Honest Abe (Benjamin Walker) eviscerates vampires out of vengeance. Nancy Lincoln died not from milk sickness but from a vampire bite. Young son Willie bit it the same way. The Confederates are peppered with Dixie bloodsuckers out to create their own nation—or something. (A society to themselves, without human bodies to drain for food? Vampire honcho Rufus Sewell’s grand plan is never made clear.)

History is exploited if not necessarily explored. Grahame-Smith ties supernatural beasties to the past without meaningfully connecting the two. It’s superficial, a novelty, boasting no commentary; its real-life hero is chosen essentially because he’s famous. (Grahame-Smith might have fared better writing Warren G. Harding: Vampire Hunter. That might better explain the president’s notoriously poor choices—too busy fighting draculas to competently govern America—as well as his sudden death.)

It’s a one-joke movie. But there are worse jokes. Lest we forget, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter still features Abraham Lincoln hunting vampires, albeit the crappy, overly digitized ones with fakey, swelling mouths. If one really lusts for a Timur Bekmambatov actioner about an innocent-turned-master-assassin, complete with a ridiculous train sequence, the wait for Wanted on Netflix is by now relatively short. n

The male stripper dramedy Magic Mike was loosely inspired by Channing Tatum’s pre-fame stint as a teenage dancer. But it’s hard not to read it as the alternate-universe autobiography of its director, Steven Soderbergh. This is Soderbergh’s threatened penultimate film, and it concerns an exotic dancer (Tatum) slowly realizing he wants out. He’s around the 30-year-old-mark, and while he can still bust the moves and command a cash-stuffed g-string, another life seems to call him. For our titular hero, that’s domesticity; for Soderbergh, it’s another art form: painting.

Soderbergh has always seemed bored with convention—even Ocean’s Eleven is fairly sarcastic in its populism—but the last several years have found him particularly detached. Contagion is a cold interpretation of an Irwin Allen pandemic saga; Haywire may be the first academic action movie. Whether these are signs of why he’s about to abandon cinema would be to invoke a Psych 101 analysis, but Soderbergh attacks Magic Mike with a similar clinical, borderline-scientific remove.

At least it delivers the goods: that is, plenty of scenes of Tatum and company— including Alex Pettyfer as Tatum’s devilmay-care young charge and Matthew McConaughey as the joint’s vaguely sinister emcee—engaged in pelvic thrusting inches from the lens. Like Godard with Brigitte Bardot in Contempt, Soderbergh frontloads the Channing buttage, although he pushes most of the drama to the third act.

Till then, Magic Mike is a freewheeling blast. Soderbergh’s strange sense of humor manifests itself in pockets: the retro ’80s Warner Bros. logo; a hilarious out-of-focus dick shot. Mostly, he piggybacks off his star’s own odd comic streak. 21 Jump Street revealed the depth of Tatum’s laid-back goofiness first, and Magic Mike simply reiterates it. At one point, he even flubs a line (or appears to) and is able to not only make it work but to charm his co-stars into not destroying the take. He’s charismatic but unpolished, allergic to sentimentality, and he has an ideal romantic lead in Cody Horn, whose performance, forever teetering between skeptical and sincere, is inelegant in a thrilling way. Soderbergh is a filmmaker looking for the fresh and unpredictable.

Who would have imagined he’d find these qualities in the beefcake star of G.I. Joe and the daughter of a Disney exec? n

ock demands trade-offs, and as a result a musician’s life is bracketed by contradictions.

You have friends in every city, but those back home barely know you anymore.

The chance to appear before millions on Jimmy Kimmel Live! is paid for with 10-hour van trips amid B.O. that festers like compound interest. Word-of-mouth attendance proves more leaky-faucet than wildfire, and the whole touring experience is less of a carefree vacation, more of a wait-filled minimum-wage job.

It’s all worth it for those 90 minutes on stage, of course—but like a tree in the forest, it’s not sustainable unless someone hears it. That’s where catchy, fuzzladen Vancouver duo Japandroids found themselves. As a Canadian band, they had trouble breaking through across the border. They practiced religiously and released a couple EPs to little avail. Their 2009 debut, Post-Nothing, was sort of their last gasp. “Playing music as much as we were playing it, as seriously as we were playing it, we were kind of burning ourselves out,” says drummer David Prowse.

That swan song tour featured shows at CMJ and the Pop Montreal Festival, where they attracted label interest from Unfamiliar Records. A favorable Pitchfork review followed, seeding a wave of positive response that changed Prowse’s and guitarist Brian King’s lives forever.

The album proved a critical success, engendering two years of near continuous touring, and setting the stage for a big emotional hangover.

“You’ve spent two years on the road traveling around the world,” says King.

“It’s a very exciting thing to do. But until you have a new record, you can’t do that again. It’s very disheartening. It feels like the ride is over. You’ve been on this fantastical voyage and now it’s over and you’re back to your real life.”

Never the most prodigious band, the break brought on a troubling bout of writer’s block. Suddenly, King felt the weight not just of his own expectations, but of the audience’s as well—and of the need to live up to the energy and intensity of the band’s debut LP. After all that touring, he wanted to ensure the next batch of songs would survive 200 to 300 performances without losing their crackle. It was a lot of pressure. By June last year, Japandroids’ follow-up was supposed to be finished—but it was only half-written.

Worried that the remainder might take another six months, the band set off for Nashville to escape the distrac-

tions of their everyday reality, hoping to jump-start their creativity. Within a month, they’d finished the album— though not without several visits from Nashville’s finest. “[The cops] were great, though after their third or fourth visit you’re sort of tired of seeing them,” King laughs. “They were very professional and polite. And very cool about all the noise complaints they were receiving. We’re like, ‘Well, we came all the way from Canada to write a record in Nashville because we heard it’s a music town,’ and they’re, ‘Damn right! That’s why people should come to Nashville. At the same time, can we take it down to 7 or 8 instead of 10?’”

The resulting album, Celebration Rock, isn’t going to change a lot of minds about Japandroids. It’s a sharpening of all the elements that went into their vibrant, hooky, no-fi debut. The biggest change is the lyrics, which were minimal on the first album and more central this time. “There might be more lyrics per song than on the whole album of Post-Nothing,” King says. “There was a conscious effort to … stop thinking about lyrics and vocals as a secondary component.”

Musically, it’s much the same— though, King argues, when there’s just drums, guitar and vocals, how different can you be? But while the outline of their high-energy, overdriven thrum remains familiar—like Hüsker Dü scoring a pep rally—the album benefits from the duo’s tour-sharpened chops and crisper production. They consciously chose to follow the same template as their first two releases (Post-Nothing and 2010’s odds and sods collection, No Singles).

“Any contemporary band that finds

some success on a first record that’s lo-fi or self-recorded in their bedroom, it’s really easy for your second record to switch it up and work with a big-name producer and refine your sound,” King says. “We had the opportunity to do that on this album, but felt ... [with] our improvement in playing together from touring and that confidence, if we just went in and did the exact same thing ... we’d inherently come out with something better.” Indeed, every track on Celebration Rock stands on its own, full of sonic enthusiasm, while the lyrics unite a tempered mix of hopeful excitement and hard-ridden road-weariness.

“I wouldn’t say road-weary per se,” he says. “More like weariness in general.”

It’s all crystallized in the album’s centerpiece, “Adrenaline Nightshift,” a restless blast of somewhat debauched carpe diem. Like much of Japandroids’ music, it’s less about grievance than call to action. “Hurricane home to crusade alone wounded and thin,” the song laments, “still waiting for a generation’s bonfire to begin.” It’s an anthem holding out for a revolution. “Celebration Rock isn’t just a good name for this group of songs and record,” King says. “It’s a good name for the band as a whole—what it’s like to see the band and listen to the band on record.” Of course, to properly enjoy a celebration, you should generally do something to deserve it. You listening, Generation Y? n

it, and you can really see a bigger response from the newer jams live.”

The band calls the City of Brotherly Love home now, and when not on tour, you can catch them downing a beer or 15 at their favorite bar, Grumpy’s Tavern in South Philly, where they often, according to May, “Get weird.”

“Living in Philly has been incredible for us,” he says.

“People from across the country and the world talk about the scene we are part of here like it is some kind of Mecca. The shows are amazing, the bands are incredible, and everyone is a friend. Living and working in the city these past few years has totally influenced us. Everything from the concrete oven summers, the freezing winters, the guarded and less than personable attitudes, the food, the bars, and even SEPTA have all influenced us for the better and worse. I love it.”

Philly loves them back. Their show at the Barbary this Friday is sold out—but they’re also playing a special acoustic performance directly afterward at Gunner’s Run!—and it’s going to get insane. No prescription drugs required. n

Critic’s Pick Tenacious D If Seinfeld was a show about nothing, Tenacious D must be its musical corollary. Like that famed sitcom, this comedic duo line their songs with self-referential jokes and puffed-up slices of everyday life. Well, everyday for a couple stoner wannabes channeling metal’s epic grandeur and melodrama onto acoustic guitars. The resulting cartoonish excess runs from odes (to roadies and Ronnie James Dio) to profane-sexual-discussions-turnedweepy-power-ballad (“Fuck Her Gently”) and self-mocking self-mythologizing, which pretty much describes 2006’s entire commercial/critical movie/ soundtrack bomb The Pick of Destiny. On Tenacious D’s long-awaited return album, Rize of the Fenix, they’re properly chastised. “They fucked our asses,” frontman Jack Black sings on the song of the same name. “They fucked them hard/But we kept our indie cred for the whole nine yards.” Yeah, that salves the pain. While not quite a return to form, Fenix is moving in the right direction. (Chris Parker)

hilly punk heroes the Menzingers got a nasty surprise in Manchester, England, last month. Their van was completely jacked, every touring musician’s worst nightmare. The take: $2,000 in U.S. cash, €5,000 in euros, an iPad, three iPods, three passports, two pairs of Ray-Bans, guitarist/vocalist Greg Barnett’s tour journals dating back a year and a half, a digital camera and prescription drugs.

Thankfully, the thieves didn’t haul off with any of the band’s gear. So there’s that. But, GOTDAMN. No fun.

“Discovering it was absurd,” says Tom May, the band’s other guitarist/vocalist, recovering from a hangover in Pensacola, Fla. while on tour. (“They don’t call it the Redneck Rivera for nothing,” he jokes, referring to the wild birthday party the night before.) “We had just played the best show of the tour, and made our way over to a sci-fi-themed bar for an afterparty of sorts. We have a lot of amazing friends in Manchester and they were all out. We were dancing and carrying on and having a great time when Greg busted in and told me we were robbed. We ran outside and then borrowed flashlights from the police to search the back alleys of Manchester in the hopes that they took what they needed and tossed the bags. It was fucking grounding.”

It was a lowlight in a still relatively young career that’s been packed with some pretty amazing highs. The band came kicking and screaming out of Scranton in 2006, and in the six years since they’ve toured with Titans of Rock like Anti-Flag and Against Me! and have put out some highly regarded records for some highly regarded labels—A Lesson in the Abuse of Information Technology (Go-Kart Records), Chamberlain Waits (Red Scare Records).

Their latest, On the Impossible Past, is on legendary punk label Epitaph, whose founder Brett Gurewitz had this to say upon signing them: “These guys play the kind of pure punk rock that I grew up with. They are seriously talented songwriters and I’m happy to welcome them to the Epitaph family.

I think the band is a great fit here.” That’s high praise from someone who, as guitarist of Bad Religion, knows a little something about which he speaks.

“None of our other releases have ever garnered such a response,” says May of Impossible. “People really seem to love

Sounds Like: The haunting and beautiful fourth from the 34-year-old pianist and tortured artist figure is another masterpiece of songwriting about love and inner turmoil.

Adult

By Dan Savage mail@philadelphiaweekly.com My younger brother and I are close. He came out of the closet last year, although it wasn’t much of a surprise because everyone knew he was gay since forever. Everyone is happy he’s out because it kind of takes the elephant out of the room, and our immediate and extended family are all really supportive. But for the last six to nine months or so, he’s been really depressed about not ever having had a boyfriend.

He’s 21 and he’s always talking about how he wants to find a boy to be with in a relationship and not just for sex, but he says it’s impossible for him to meet said boy.

Me being straight, the only advice I’ve ever been able to give him is to just try new things and that way you’ll meet new people, as really that’s the only advice you can give someone who’s looking to meet a potential partner. My brother, however, framed his issue to me in a way I’ve never really thought of—which is that only a small fraction of the population is gay, and an even smaller fraction of that may be compatible with him, so meeting new people for a gay guy is actually a lot harder than it is for straight people.

He’s been on the whole online dating thing for a while, but said it’s really difficult to meet anyone who he feels a connection with. I’ve never done online dating, but I have heard the same points from others who’ve tried it. I asked him if he ever goes to gay bars, because that would obviously change the ratios around, but apparently it’s a little insensitive for a straight guy to say that, and he said he’s not really into that scene. Anyway, I just wish I could give him some good advice without being unintentionally offensive (the gay bar suggestion). I’d still like to offer him any advice I can for him to meet a guy he feels strongly about.

Seeking Advice For Family

My girlfriend of two and a half years and I are ready to move in together. Finally! I am so excited to take this next step, and so is she. The problem is that I work third shift four to five nights a week and she works a regular day job.

I can’t help but feel that we aren’t going to get the full experience of living together with our work situations being what they are. I won’t be waking up every morning to her saying, “Good morning, beautiful,” etc. What can we do to make this a better situation and take advantage of the next step? Thanks.

The Next Step Here’s a tip, TNS: Don’t spend too much time comparing your actual relationship, which will always be shaped by circumstances not fully in your control (like your work schedules), to your idealized notions about what a romantic relationship should look like. That only ensures constant disappointment. Don’t get me wrong: Once you move in with your girlfriend, there will be days that begin with her rolling over and saying, “Good morning, beautiful.” But there will also be days that begin with your girlfriend rolling over and farting. The trick to loving your LTR is to fully appreciate the moments that rise to the level of your romantic ideals (“Good morning, beautiful”) without obsessing about those moments that disappoint (split shifts, ripped farts). Good luck!

Incorporating some adult toys—vibrators and dildos—into your sex life isn’t just a great way to maintain your sexual connection while you work on your physical and mental issues, DITD, it’s also a great way to take the pressure off your dick. Performance anxiety and worries about leaving your partner unsatisfied can combine to create a hugely destructive, dick-deflating negative feedback loop.

As for your girlfriend …

A woman who doesn’t masturbate—because she tried it once and it didn’t work—has hang-ups, DITD. And a woman with hang-ups is much likelier to forgive a partner for having purchased some sex toys than she is to give a partner her advance permission to go and purchase some sex toys. So find a good local or online sex-toy store and buy whatever you think looks like fun. n

I’m a guy. I’ve been with my girlfriend for almost two years. I love her, but in the last year, sex has been an issue. I feel attracted to her, but I find myself easily distracted these days, kind of worried during sex, which has resulted in me either coming super fast or losing my erection altogether. As a result, she does not orgasm at all. It’s gotten to the point where I’m afraid to be intimate with her for fear of letting her down. I have gone to see doctors to try to understand if my medical conditions—severe sleep apnea, elevated blood pressure—might have something to do with it. I’m in treatment for these things and I’ve started going to a therapist, too. I am thinking of buying some sex toys to use while I work to overcome my problems. My girlfriend doesn’t own any, and she says she doesn’t masturbate because she tried it once and never came. How do I approach her with the idea of using sex toys during sex? Should I? I just want her to experience an orgasm even if I need to get some extra help from a vibrator.

Devil In The Details

Call Toni @ 215.599.7606 Email: toni@philadelphiaweekly.com

www.sansomstreetgym.com

There are 3.5 billion men on the planet.

Even if we accept the lowest educated guesstimate of the percentage of the population that’s gay—1.7 percent—that means your brother has nearly 60 million potential romantic partners to choose from worldwide; he has 2.5 million potential romantic partners in the United States alone.

Other informed guesstimates of the percentage of the population that’s gay are much, much higher— seven or eight times higher—so your brother’s odds of finding a partner are probably much better. But let’s put that 1.7 percent figure in perspective: Jews represent just 1.7 percent of the population of the United States. So even if the percentage of the population that’s gay is “just” 1.7 percent, your brother has the, um, same cross to bear—and the same odds of success—as an American Jew who wants to marry another American Jew. It sounds like your brother is going through a common, if rarely discussed, stage of the comingout process: Wallow in Self Pity and Bite the Head Off Anyone Who Tries to Help. That’s why he was offended by your perfectly reasonable, not-at-alloffensive suggestion that he get out there and hit some gay bars. Yes, the bars aren’t for everyone.

But if you’re single and want to meet people—gay or straight—you need to be moving on all fronts: online dating, hitting bars and clubs, volunteering and just generally getting out of the fucking house.

Your brother is 21 years old and he just came out, SAFF, and his frustration is understandable.

He’s been watching his straight peers (and his straight brothers) hook up and fall in love since middle school and he feels anxious to make up for lost time. But he won’t find that first boyfriend if he isn’t willing to put himself out there—and that

means giving the guys he meets online a chance, giving the bars a chance and giving the people who are trying to help him out a break.
