Da Monzon, the conquest of Samanyana, the new film by Sidi Diabaté, and top prize winner in the Pan African Film Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO), traces the preparation and conquest of Samanyana by Da Monzon of Ségou. The film is set during the period of Mali’s history marked by the existence of several large kingdoms. In his drive for power, Da Monzon led the most celebrated of his battles at Samanyana. Da, having ascended the throne of Ségou after the death of his father, had the weighty responsibility of succeeding where his father had failed, namely in defeating King Bassi Diakité of Samanyana.

Money has too much value in this society and not even a recession has taught the people at the top to be more humble about their wealth. I think Wall Street is a fair target but also every CEO of every corporation in the world, everyone who decides to be the next Donald Trump and back stab their mother to get there and anyone that works in government, the unions, city hall, Harrisburg or any other body who cares more about their collection of suits and their latest model car than their constituents. I don’t think you can teach people altruism but you can remove them from those positions where they will do the most harm. RAM, via philadelphiaweekly.com We don’t know what we are protesting, and we don’t know where we are going to do it, but darn it, if N.Y. is doing it, we have to do it! Down with, uh, stuff! I love the financial planner who is miffed about being unemployed. Excuse me, are you part of the problem? Taking a cut for disposing investment advice is no better than anything found for free on the Internet. And if you got laid off from a diner and can’t get a job in a day, then you are just incompetent. ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com I have to agree that sleeping in the park or banging drums is not going to do much if people have no idea what they want. The Occupy Wall Street thing is a disorganized mess that has no clear focus either. What do they want Wall Street to do? Obama passed new banking regulation already. Marching around with signs that say “Mean People Suck” is going to do what exactly? Zalesky says “We want our money.” What money? What money did he lose on Wall Street? Who does he think has that money? Was it like a masked robber who came in and took money out of his pockets? Stop being children. The man has kids, but the biggest kid is him. Unless you lost your 401(k) to Madoff of Goldman Sachs, what are you crying about? Where are your “losses” and what shares were devalued due to this “corruption?” ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com
A Man of His Word Regarding the 16th anniversary of the Million Man March: I attended the first Million Man March and it is unfair and not even truthful to promote this as the second MMM. It doesn’t have the anniversary flavor or agenda from 16 years ago. This appears to be no more than a fundraiser for the minister. Not one penny will go to assisting with job creation in Philly. Not one penny will go to stop the killing of our people in Philly. Sixteen years ago the event was free, and the controversy and debate that led up to the event was part of its success. I left D.C. feeling like I had been reborn, I met brothas from as far away as Cali that I still communicate with. And again: All of this was for free, paid for by the nation. For the sake of maintaining the memories of that day I will not be attending this year’s “fundraiser” but would love to do so at the 20th if it can again be for the community and free with the sincerity of bringing the brothers together to remind us we are black men with responsibility and purpose. BRUCE TABS, via email
Aramarked For Deletion Regarding Eric Augenbraun’s feature about Citizens Bank Park workers unhappy with contract negotiations with Aramark What is Aramark’s side? It’s not clear WHY they are not working with the union? Does Aramark simply consider these jobs only part-time/seasonal and have no intentions of supporting them as full time jobs? How about the MLBPA “supporting” the protesters by sharing their wealth to fill the gap? ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com What people don’t understand is that Aramark is a vendor of whatever building they are in. They are lucky if they make half of the profit while whoever they are working for make the other half. Then they have to pay all the taxes, staff and product. While people think they make a fortune, they don’t. MARYANNE, via philadelphiaweekly.com

The Occupiers Have a Traditional View on Banks
Sign language: Occupy Philly is still going strong.
Right On Time Occupy isn’t that different from the Tea Party. So why does the GOP hate its guts? By Randy LoBasso rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com
P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 12 - 18, 2011 •
Almost as soon as Occupy Occupy Wall Street began making Philly headlines and sprouting up in more than 250 cities nationwide, conservatives began smearing it. Take Sen. Pat Toomey: “[It’s] just a left-wing group that wants to have something to protest,” he said last week. “It seems like a misguided anger and I don’t think they have a clear idea of what they’re for.” Glenn Beck says the organizers “will come for you and drag you into the streets and kill you ... they’re Marxist radicals ... these guys are worse than [Maximilien] Robespierre from the French Revolution ... they’ll kill everybody.” We could go on, but the point is this: Republicans and their media allies hate the Occupy movement. They hate it so much. Which is odd because the Occupy/99 Percent gatherings are fairly similar to the Tea Party movement. Like the Tea Party, Occupy is a populist movement. Both began amongst a small, usually-not-political group of regular folks. Like the Tea Party, Occupy wants the U.S. to create more
future graduates who are not likely to see prospects of a job upon leaving the quad. “There’s no one single coherent message because there’s no one single problem,” says Lauren, a protester camping out at City Hall. “But something is clearly wrong.” “Part of what fueled the rise of the Tea Party was the idea that middle class and working-class people were undeserving and unworthy of getting bank loans and were in over their heads,” says Corey Robin, Brooklyn College political science professor and author of The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Sarah Palin. “That was Rick Santelli’s [of CNBC] opening cry that really launched the Tea Party. He called them ‘losers’ for getting bad mortgages and bad loans … That’s a pretty baldfaced thing, which I think a certain part of the country and, I think, the right, thinks.” It took a while for the 99 Percent and unemployed to realize they weren’t alone, and weren’t losers. “[Unemployment] is happening to millions of people,” says Joe Piette, an organizer with the socialist Workers World Party in Philadelphia. “So it’s not a personal failing that they can’t find a job. I think it’s just taken a while to realize ‘There are a lot of people out there like me.’”
jobs. Like the Tea Party, politicians have referred to the gatherings as ‘un-American.’ And, like the Tea Party, the movement’s been peaceful. But there are also key differences between the groups, and that scares the right.
Occupy Protesters Don’t have a Single Message But Their Messages are Real Tea Partiers’ main issue was taxes. Too much of them. In fact, “T.E.A.” stands for Taxed Enough Already. But has President Obama really taxed the Tea Partiers into the poor house? Probably not. Obama has been cutting taxes since he came into office. Especially for the waning middle class. The Occupy Movement is the flip side of that coin. Unlike the mysterious straw taxman the Tea Party fears, the Occupy protesters are united against something real. And unlike the Tea Party, what they’re fighting is happening now: CEO pay went up 11 percent in 2010; the recession continues, as do the wars; about 400,000 people file new unemployment claims each week; and student debt continues to mount for
Historically, banks and Americans have not gotten along. But that changed in the ’80s. “One of the keystones of the mobilization of the right has been about making Wall Street the sphere of the Everyman and almost a populist institution,” says Robin, who notes banks have traditionally been the object of loathing and suspicion in American society. Tea Partiers were probably successful in cementing this idea in Americans’ minds. And the group’s legacy will probably be electing people to office who are bought and sold by many big banks. The Occupy movement goes against all that. It seeks independence from the banks that influence government and the bankers who got off from the recession scott-free. “A few years ago, when you had the crash, a lot of [bankers] were really nervous about what was coming down the road,” Robin says. “And they probably breathed a sigh of relief when they realized very little was going to happen to them. Now you’re seeing this sort of ‘The chicken is coming home to roost,’ and, rhetorically, that makes them nervous.”
Occupy Protesters are Reclaiming Right-Wing Reactionary Tactics The Tea Party movement has been called the culmination of the modern right. It is the ultimate reactionary group action and probably more successful than any other grassroots GOP movement in history. The right has always been about reacting to progressive societal action, and stomping it out, beginning roughly in the 1880s when workers began trying to democratize the workplace. The results can be seen in today’s lackluster labor movement and
civil- and women’s-rights standstills. But if there’s nothing left to fight, the right ceases to be what it’s been for so long. Which is where Occupy comes in. The Occupy movement was a reaction to the “financial fraudsters on Wall Street”— as put by the idea’s founder, Kalle Lasn of AdBusters Magazine—and the fact that no one responsible for the now 3-yearold Great Recession has been brought to justice.
The Occupy Movement Hasn’t Been Taken Over by Big Money. Yet. The Tea Party died as soon as its so-called activists—people like Gov. Tom Corbett and Toomey—began running for office funded with Koch Brothers money. Those right-wing politicians had a built-in voting bloc in the Tea Party and even decided to call themselves “Tea Party Republicans” while running, with “Tea Party” in this case standing for a wink and a nod toward Crazyville, where psychotics eat free. “Even if we had divergences of different causes here,” says Ed Jude, a school administrator who showed up at Occupy Philly’s first day, “I want to show that the gravy train to the corporations and big businesses has got to stop.” Then those swept into office under the Tea Trend went to Washington and stopped the slow economic recovery dead in its tracks by threatening to shut down government on multiple occasions, turning debt into the issue of the day rather than jobs, and forcing an economic downgrade the U.S. has never seen, all because of an extreme hatred of the president masked as “fiscal conservativism.”
The Occupy Movement Could Do More Than Elect People

It’s generally accepted by the GOP and their allies that Wall Street trading had nothing to do with the 2008 economic downfall. Instead, they often find themselves blaming a host of boogeymen: the then-Democratic Congress, Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, President Clinton, President Barack Obama and the “losers” who got the shaft on their home loan. But Wall Street did start this mess. And they were able to do so because of 30 years dedicated to dismantling Great Depressionera bank regulations. If the Occupy protests can get this message across to voters the way Tea Partiers got the “Obama is a fascist” mantra into peoples’ heads, that could mean trouble for the GOP in 2012. “I think when people say they’re the 99 Percent,” says Robin, “they’re reclaiming that we’re all in this together and it’s really just this small minority that’s [destroyed the economy]. It reminds me of the way gays and lesbians have reclaimed the word ‘queer.’ We’re all in debt and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s not our fault. It’s an economy that’s built on debt and subsidized by debt, and there needs to be a new way of organizing things.” n

Occupy deals with allegations of racism.

Color bloc: Some protesters have created a People of Color Committee.
Class will likely remain the common denominator in the Occupy movement, but ignoring the issue of race is insulting to all people of color. The Occupy movements on Wall Street, in Philly and in most other cities lack any clear leader, and the division in Philly demonstrates what could become of an already complicated movement if a leader does not step up to unify Occupiers. Its current model, in which decisions are agreed by a general consensus, creates a inevitable minority, and neglecting to put a singular face to the movement could foreshadow its possible demise. “Blacks say, ‘Should we join this? Do we want to be identified by this?’ Andrews says. “Blacks have been the 99 percent forever— since we’ve been in America. So we don’t identify with the same reasons. Solidarity is important, people should support each other. But it’s not just about class for us.” n

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY October 12 - 18, 2011
Black activists within Occupy Occupy Philly have created a People Philly of Color Committee largely because of (surprise!) differing views on the movement. Pan-African Channel Andrews, a Philly native and activist who has been watching Occupy Philly from the outside while studying law at Barry University in Orlando, Fla., says the PCC was created, in part, because some organizers of Occupy Philly continue to buy “Mayor Nutter’s lies.” She says Nutter is taking advantage of the movement for his own political gain and that Occupy “need[s] to make demands to him and not just take pics with him.” “Nutter is clearly using them … Nutter is the Wall Street of Philly,” she continues, adding that the racial disconnect extends beyond the Mayor’s Office “pretending” to care about Occupiers. “He’s done more damage to the people of Philly than Wall Street.” She points to Occupy’s internal racial conflicts. “For white people or middle-class people, they’re just feeling the recession. It’s not because of the recession for us,” she says. Andrews says that the formation of the PCC was inevitable after some supposed Occupiers called two black women—who were supporting Occupy—“niggers” because they had a black-only meeting on Saturday. According to a post on the blog Complex Brown: “Saturday, two sisters were called Niggers by two of the volunteers at Occupy Philadelphia at the cell-phone charging stations. They were also told to go back to Africa, and that each white man should own a slave. When the sista’s called security, security asked them to leave the premises because they thought they were apart of the UHURU movement. Even if they were a
part of that movement, they should not have been asked to leave. Especially without any mention of their verbal and spiritual abuse. So a small collective formed a drummer’s circle on Sunday and started a rally, only to be met with on-lookers who didn’t understand why there was a Pan-African flag at an “American” event. We were called racist … When we circled up to come up with a constructive way to address the people, we were constantly interrupted by white people who could not respect our safe space. These people said that it was a public space, and we couldn’t have a group that excluded them. Why is it when black people want to get together to work out our issues in our community we are called out? … We spoke out about RACISM IN THE 99 percent.” PW can’t corroborate these allegations, but at this point it doesn’t matter what served as the catalyst for the formation of the People of Color Committee. Obviously, people of color here feel compelled to make their voices heard. And it has little to do with PW, contrary to what one Occupier told City Paper early Tuesday. Apparently, the protester said that the city’s alternative weeklies are “sleazy,” and alleged that we’re trying to “divide” their movement by calling out possible racial tension. You (Occupiers) may be upset that alleged tension in your movement may be undermining your goals, but to suggest that we somehow caused or created it makes you no better than every other knee-jerk American who blames the media for their problems.

Need for seed: Weedman, aka Ed Forchion, in his California grow room.
Side by side they sat at a stoplight in Mt. Holly, N.J., on the night of April 1, 2010—Ed Forchion in his Pontiac rental car and New Jersey State Trooper Ken Rayhon in his patrol cruiser. The light was taking an eternity to change, Forchion thought. He nonchalantly glanced over at Rayhon, who was staring back at him. His heart pounding, Forchion thought he saw the flash of the green arrow for his turning lane out of the corner of his eye, and he took his foot off the brake. But the light was still red, and the car lurched over the white line and several feet into the intersection before Forchion slammed on the brakes. Rayhon’s lights flipped on. No, this cannot be happening again, Forchion thought. It would take a little while, but Rayhon was about to learn a few things about the bearded black guy with the long dreads that he’d just pulled over. One: Forchion was the infamous “New Jersey Weedman”—unrepentant ganja smoker, loudmouth legalization advocate and longtime folk hero to a sizeable marijuana community in Philly, South Jersey and all across the nation that had also taken to calling him “Superhero of the Potheads.” Two: Forchion’s New Jersey driver’s license was suspended for failure to pay child support. And three: Forchion had a pound of high-grade, vacuum-sealed marijuana in a duffel bag in the trunk of his car. To Forchion, a pound of weed is nothing. He could probably smoke all of it in one sitting. And hell, in 1997 he’d gotten busted in Bellmawr after trying to ship 40 pounds of marijuana from Arizona to New Jersey via FedEx, and faced 20 years in the slammer. During a three-year, antics-filled, headline-making odyssey through the Camden County court system, Forchion represented himself and attempted to use a controversial defense known as jury nullification— which relies on the power that juries have to acquit a defendant, despite the facts of the case, because they believe the law itself is flawed (provided the jury comes to a unanimous agreement)—to wiggle his way out of the jam. A sympathetic prosecutor offered him a 12th-hour deal in late 2000 for a drastically reduced sentence. It was an offer he couldn’t refuse, so he took it. Following his time behind bars, Forchion eventually made his way to Los Angeles, where he opened a medical marijuana dispensary. He was selling weed legally and making a decent living. And then it all went up in smoke again the night Rayhon pulled him over. Rayhon smelled burning weed and saw a marijuana pipe on the floor behind the driver’s seat, ordered Forchion out of the car and arrested him for possession of marijuana paraphernalia. When Rayhon asked Forchion if he could search the vehicle, Forchion declined. Both Forchion and his car were hauled to the police barracks in Bordentown, and when Rayhon informed Forchion that a search warrant was pending, Forchion revealed he had the
pound of weed in his trunk. Forchion was eventually indicted on one count of felony possession with intent to distribute, and because of his prior conviction he now faces 12 years in jail. The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office has already offered him a deal that would put him in the joint for about a year, but—haunted by regrets over taking a similar deal a decade ago—Forchion says he’s fighting this case to the bitter end. “Any deal that requires me to go to prison is not a deal to me,” he says. “I don’t want to spend four minutes in jail. I’m going all in. I want a fair and complete trial, and I want ... 12 of my peers, to decide my fate. I got arrested on April Fool’s Day, and pretty soon we’ll find out who’s the fool—me, or the state.” The 47-year-old’s trial is set to begin at the Burlington County courthouse on Tues., Oct. 18. Again, he’s representing himself, and again he’s planning to use a jury nullification defense—a risky strategy that will put the marijuana laws themselves on trial. If he loses, he forfeits his freedom and squanders the modestly successful life he cultivated for himself with his second chance. But, absurd as it may sound, a Forchion victory means that not only would he beat the system, he could potentially weaken those existing laws and help legions of fellow weedheads to escape similar prosecution. “I want to be the Roe v. Wade of marijuana legalization,” says Forchion.
Before Forchion became Weedman nearly 15 years ago, he was just a coast-to-coast truck driver who loved to smoke pot. All day, every day. It also helped control his asthma, he claims. A dedicated toker since his mid-teens, Forchion discovered during one of his West Coast runs that the primo weed selling for upward of $1,000 a pound in New Jersey could be had for $300 a pound in Arizona. Forchion linked up with some Mexican drug dealers—they were the ones who first gave him the “New Jersey Weedman” nickname—both for his own supply and to act as a middleman, smuggling a few pounds here and there back to their East Coast network. “They wanted me to haul heroin and cocaine, too,” says Forchion, “But I’m just about the weed.” Soon, his weed runs became serious (and perilous) business. One time, he went to his Arizona connection to buy 30 pounds of marijuana, but they told him that a guy had come by the day before and bought up their entire supply. They told him to sit tight for a few days until their stock could be replenished, but then they approached Forchion the next day with news of a proposition: The driver for the guy who had bought all of their weed had chickened out, leaving the guy sitting in the desert with an RV packed with 500 pounds of marijuana. He needed someone to deliver the load to his people in Cleveland, and if Forchion did it, he could keep

100 pounds for himself. “There was no way I could pass that up,” says Forchion. So he went out to the desert, transferred the weed to his truck—hiding it deep inside a shipment of cantaloupes—and made the trek, terrified, but without incident. He took his cut to Camden, where over 10 days he managed to unload it all and pocket about $100,000. “I used it to buy my first house,” Forchion says proudly. Over the next couple of years, Forchion made several similar journeys, and he was flush with cash. His confidence increasing with every successful run, he started taking more chances, too. Like shipping meticulously wrapped packages of weed from Arizona to his younger brother, Russell, back in Jersey via FedEx. One of those packages, containing 40 pounds of pot, didn’t arrive as scheduled, so Forchion decided to fly back home and find out what was up. Russell got a call from FedEx saying the shipment was late and would be there in two days, but unbeknownst to the Forchion brothers and a third accomplice, authorities had intercepted the package and set up a sting operation. Russell went to the designated location in Bellmawr to await the package— which was delivered by an undercover cop—while Weedman acted as lookout. After the exchange, nearly two-dozen state and federal law enforcement officers swooped in and arrested the three men. All were indicted on first-degree felonies—Russell got hit with possession with intent to distribute, and Ed with conspiracy—punishable by up to 20 years in prison. “That probably wasn’t my finest moment,” says Forchion. Though his brother and the third accomplice were looking to cop pleas, Forchion decided to fight the charge. First, he stumbled onto the jury nullification defense, frequently employed with great success during both the Prohibition and slavery eras: Many jurors who were alcohol drinkers themselves refused to convict someone else for doing the same; others refused to convict those who violated what jurors considered to be an immoral Fugitive Slave Act. The problem, however, is that opponents of jury nullification consider the tactic anarchy and a mockery of the system. Many judges will not allow it to be used, and defense attorneys are prohibited from using it because it goes against their oath to “uphold the law.” Only defendants who represent themselves can argue jury nullification. “It’s a rights/power dichotomy—courts have said that while juries have the power to do this thing, they don’t have the right, so you’re not allowed to argue it to them,” explains Houston-based lawyer Clay Conrad, author of the book Jury Nullification: The Evolution of a Doctrine (which Forchion consulted in preparation for his trial). “It’s something that’s been argued for hundreds of years, but as a practical matter, if you have power that you can’t be punished for exercising, how is that different from a right?” That’s how Forchion saw it. But he had more ideas up his sleeve as his trial date loomed. He’d show up at pre-trial hearings wearing a T-shirt with a huge middle finger on it. He started turning up at various public places—in front of the Liberty Bell, at the New Jersey State House in Trenton, even in New Jersey Rep. Rob Andrews’ office—where he’d light up a joint to protest marijuana prohibition. Occasionally he was arrested, but each time the charges were dismissed. He even got on the ballot to run against Andrews for his 1st Congressional seat as a candidate from his selfformed Legalize Marijuana Party. Because Forchion was facing 20 years on the conspiracy charge, most people thought he’d gone crazy sticking his thumb in the eye of the system like that. But there was a method to his madness: Forchion was trying to get as much media coverage as possible, to get his name on the minds of people with the intention of swaying potential jurors to either agree with his position or at least sympathize with his plight—that he was simply a harmless pothead and that the law, and his possible sentence, was just too harsh. He certainly got attention. Forchion came off likable, good-natured, funny and exceptionally sharp during his myriad interviews with TV stations and newspapers.
“People always tell me, ‘Dude, I thought you were just some stoner.’ I’m like, ‘I am, but that doesn’t mean I gotta be dumb,’” Forchion says. Still, his brother—the one actually caught holding the 40 pounds of weed—wasn’t exactly down with Forchion’s antics. “I was like, ‘Don’t be so public,’” says Russell, now 42. “The evidence on me was really bad, so, I didn’t want him pissing [the state] off where instead of me facing 20 years, it was gonna be 30 years. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve always been close, but right there I really wanted him to chill out.” As the trial was about to begin, Russell accepted a deal: seven years, but he’d be out in five months, released to New Jersey’s Intensive Supervision Program (ISP), where he’d live as normal but be closely monitored for another 26 months. Forchion remained determined to fight. But things in the courtroom started poorly. The judge barred Forchion from using his jury-nullification defense (Forchion brought it up anyway in his 20-minute opening statement), and denied him his witnesses—individuals Forchion planned to call on to testify about the validity of jury nullification or why marijuana is beneficial and should be legal. And yet, Forchion’s desperate arguments—and his undeniable charisma—appeared to have some effect. One juror started crying after his compelling opening statement, insisting she couldn’t convict him. She got tossed from the jury. And then Camden County prosecutor John Wynne
“People used to think you were a complete nutbag when you argued for legalization, but now they’re totally open to it.”
Temple of fume: Weedman outside his California medical marijuana dispensary.
offered Forchion a deal—a 10-year flat sentence, but he’d be out and placed into ISP within three-to-six months. “I felt sorry for him and I felt that he was definitely gonna get convicted,” says Wynne, who’s now a criminal defense attorney. “I gave him a sweetheart deal because he’s a nice guy, a hard worker, he’s got kids, he’s got support obligations, and I felt he shouldn’t go to prison for a long time.” But, Wynne admits, the notion that Forchion’s jurynullification strategy could actually work—perhaps setting a precedent for other similar cases—also played into his decision to extend the deal. “I didn’t want the jury to say that the drug law was not good,” says Wynne. “There was always a chance that they would, and my attitude was, why risk that?” Forchion called his father, who urged him to take the deal “for the sake of his kids.” Forchion had four kids then, he’s got five now—a 26-year-old daughter and four other children ranging in age from 4 to 16. So he took the deal. But on one condition: He asked the judge if he could poll the jury to see how many would have voted to acquit. Surprisingly, the judge agreed. “I think everyone in the courtroom was just really curious,” says Forchion. Four jurors raised their hands. Not enough for jury nullification, but enough for a hung jury and a mistrial. “I was kicking myself,” says Forchion. “I could have gone free.” On Dec. 1, 2000, Forchion reported to (now-demolished) Riverfront State Prison in Camden, expecting a short stay. But a month in, he got a letter from ISP saying that he was ineligible for the program, though no reason was provided. Suddenly, Forchion was looking at serving his 10-year sentence, at least until whenever the parole board got around to considering his release. “I was completely bamboozled,” says Forchion. But he hatched a plan. He had a friend on the outside set up njweedman.com that detailed Forchion’s newest predicament and urged people to call judges, the prison, local politicians, the media, anybody. Then, Forchion tried to have his name legally changed to “njweedman.com”— a stunt designed to get the press to report on it and get his website URL into the public consciousness. The ploy worked—newspapers ran stories, people called, and on April 3, 2002, Forchion was released to ISP. Forchion’s freedom was short-lived. As a condition of his parole he was forbidden to talk publicly about marijuana legalization. Yet Forchion promptly did just that, speaking to newspapers—including PW, which ran a cover story on Forchion in May 2002—and even filming a pro-marijuana commercial that aired on New Jersey cable TV. Forchion’s parole was revoked and he was sent back to jail in August 2002. But once again he had a plan. He filed a writ of habeas corpus claiming his First Amendment right to free speech had been violated, and a federal judge agreed, springing him in January 2003 and sending him back into ISP. When Forchion’s ISP ended in December 2003, he hopped on a PATCO train to Philly, headed over to the Liberty Bell, and sparked up a joint in celebration. But there was little else to be happy about. During his legal ordeal his truck got repossessed, so he had to get a job pumping gas. His second wife divorced him. “She hated being called ‘Mrs. Weedman,’” says Forchion. “Whenever I got arrested it hurt the family, and her family thought she was married to an idiot.” Meanwhile, his brother Russell’s young son was involved in pee-wee football, and because Russell had done his time quietly, he was able to help coach his son’s team. But when Forchion’s then-8-year-old son wanted to join the team and have his dad coach, too, Forchion found out he wasn’t welcome because he was considered a bad influence. “That really hurt,” says Forchion, “but there was nothing I could do about it.” But the man with the litany of crazy plans had yet another scheme in the works. He flew out to Los Angeles in early 2008, crashed on friends’ couches, and obtained all the necessary permits to open a medical marijuana dispensary. In September of that year, he opened the Liberty Bell Temple—

the name paying homage to his Philly pot protests—on bustling Hollywood Boulevard. Suddenly, he was selling weed. Legally. Business started booming, and once again Forchion was living the high life. Members of the extensive Marley clan, former NBA stars and rappers galore started frequenting his shop. Forchion was on the VIP guest list at the Playboy Mansion and all the hottest parties in town—provided, at first, that he bring the weed, but later because he was just a fun guy to have around. He hung out in the studio with rapper Nas. He wrote an autobiography titled Public Enemy #420. He appeared on TMZ several times. And he’s been shopping his life story around Hollywood in the hope it’ll get turned into a feature film, ideally starring CSI ’s Gary Dourdan as Weedman, says Forchion. He adds that high-powered Hollywood agent Roeg Sutherland—half-brother of actor Kiefer Sutherland—has already expressed interest in the project. Not everything has been perfect out West. Forchion is convinced authorities follow him around constantly and monitor his phones; he uses prepaid cell phones to conduct some of his business. Nearly two years ago, he says, he was expecting a box full of money from New Jersey via FedEx (Forchion declines to comment on who sent the money or why), and when he opened his door the box was sitting on his stoop. So were three DEA agents. “They were like, ‘Is this yours?’” Forchion recalls. “I thought about it for a second, and they were like, “If this is not yours, we’ll just take it and go.’ I knew it was a lot of money and it was mine. But I said ‘No.’” The agents confiscated the cash—about $28,000, Forchion estimates. “I just chalked it up as a loss.” All in all, though, things were going nicely. So why risk everything by coming back to New Jersey and driving around late at night with a suspended license and a pound of marijuana in the trunk? “I’m the Weedman,” he shrugs. “Gotta have some weed.” “Believe me, that wasn’t the plan,” Forchion continues. “I wasn’t on no political mission, I was just home visiting my kids for Easter weekend.” Forchion says he brought the weed with him on the flight from Los Angeles—“Man, it’s easy. Do you know how many people I know who fly with weed?”—and that it was his own personal stash. “To me, a pound of weed is like a carton of cigarettes. You just get it in bulk so you don’t gotta keep going out and getting more.” When he was pulled over, cops confiscated the more than $2,000 he had in his pocket—money he says was intended as Easter presents for his kids. “I take care of all of them financially, I just don’t really believe in giving [child support] to the state,” he says. “I give my kids cash all the time, way above and beyond what the state says I owe.” After posting $13,000 to get out of jail, Forchion spent his flight back to Hollywood first beating himself up over getting arrested, then formulating a plan of action. “It feels like my destiny, like I’m picking up where I left off,” he says. “I was just meant to be a weed warrior, I guess.”

Emboldened by the fact that he’d swayed four jurors in his trial a decade ago, Forchion’s trying jury nullification again, and this time, he says, the current climate regarding marijuana works in his favor. After all, New Jersey now has a medical marijuana law on the books, and weed is more mainstream and acceptable than ever. “People used to think you were a complete nutbag when you argued for legalization, but now they’re totally open to it,” he says. Forchion plans to argue to the jury that New Jersey’s medical marijuana law (which says that weed has medicinal value) both supersedes and invalidates the state’s criminal law, which dictates that marijuana is illegal because it has no medicinal value. (“You can’t have it both ways,” Forchion reasons). He’s going to play the sympathy card by showing jurors medical documentation of the bone tumors in his leg—he’s says he’s been suffering from them for more than a decade; so far they’ve all been benign—that he claims he’s been treating with marijuana. He’ll explain that the pound of weed was all for him, that he had no intentions of selling
it. He’ll tell them he believes he was racially profiled during his arrest. He’ll tell them he’s a practicing Rastafarian and he has religious reasons for toking up. He plans to call witnesses to testify how silly marijuana laws are. And if all else fails, he’ll beg. “I’m not gonna spend every day begging but I am sure gonna beg from time to time, ‘Please don’t put me in jail,’” says Forchion. “It’s part of my strategy.” Because he lives in California now, Forchion hasn’t been able to pull off quite the same pre-trial antics as before in an attempt to get local media attention and influence the jury pool, but he’s tried. During one motion hearing, when the judge asked him if he understood the ramifications of defending himself in court, Forchion got some laughs when he said that he did because “I watch Law & Order.” He got his name on the ballot to run for the New Jersey General Assembly in the 8th District in next month’s election. He also sent an inflammatory letter to Burlington County prosecutor Michael Luciano, who he’ll be facing in court: “I’m hoping for and counting on you being as big a failure in this case as the entire drug war you whore yourself out to is to our nation,” Forchion wrote. “May history look back at you as history does to [Prohibition enforcement agent] Eliott Ness. He’s a loser.” (Luciano did not respond to phone calls seeking comment for this article). “I hope they introduce that into the trial,” Forchion explains. “They might use it to make me look bad, but I think if they read it, the jurors will agree with what I’m saying.” Forchion also wrote letters to Luciano and the judge demanding they not try to “bribe” him with a plea deal. “I remember how they bamboozled me last time,” he says. “I am not taking a deal.” But former prosecutor Wynne thinks Forchion should take the most recent offer—two years, out in 12 months—if it’s still on the table. “He’s playing with fire bigtime,” says Wynne, noting that Burlington County jurors are much more conservative than Camden County jurors. “I just don’t see that he’s gonna get 12 people to go along with, ‘Marijuana is my life, and even though the law says that I’m guilty, you should let me go because I’m a nice guy and the law is not fair.” I’d hate to see him fight it and lose and get a 10-year sentence where he’d have to do five years before he’s even eligible for parole. A 12-month sentence, you know, it’s a year of his life, but it’s better than giving up five years of his life.” Russell Forchion, who plans to attend the trial, doesn’t think that’s the best advice. “Prison is a terrible place,” he says. “I wouldn’t try to coach him into jail. I want him to fight, and I want him to win.” Forchion could conceivably get a hung jury and a mistrial, which might wind up being a win, depending on how many jurors side with him. “If it’s 11 for conviction and one for acquittal, a prosecutor is likely to try again,” says Conrad. “But if it’s eight to four, the prosecutor is likely to dismiss the case because courtroom time is very expensive and they’re not gonna spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on a pothead, especially not in this economic climate.” Optimally, however, it’s nullification Forchion says he’s after, which wouldn’t knock New Jersey’s marijuana laws off the books but, as Conrad explains, it may make them more difficult to enforce both in New Jersey and other states. “Especially if this case gets a lot of attention—and seeing as it’s Ed, it probably will—and the next jury says, ‘Well, we’re just gonna do the same thing as what happened in that other case.’ Eventually, prosecutors start to lose enthusiasm for the law and the legislature determines the law is useless when the public doesn’t support it. That’s how Prohibition was ended.” The trial could go yet another way: The prosecutor could decide to bump the charges down to simple possession, and in that case, says Forchion, he’d take a guilty plea because it likely wouldn’t mean any jail time. “I’ll pay the fine, get some probation, and hop on a plane right back to California,” he says. Russell thinks that scenario is unlikely, however: “My brother’s made a lot of enemies [in the New Jersey court system] over the years and I think they’re really out to nail him this time,” he says. If Forchion’s under any illusions that the state might cut
him a break, a concurrent Burlington County marijuana case involving his brother and one of his longtime friends, outspoken New Jersey medical marijuana activist Colleen Begley, appears to illustrate otherwise. According to a Burlington Township Police Department report, detectives learned from a confidential informant that a package of marijuana was being shipped from California to a house in Burlington via UPS this past Feb. 11. Cops staking out the residence saw Russell Forchion’s green Jeep slowly drive past the house several times that morning, then observed Begley, 30, arrive at the house in her Jeep, pick up the package that had been left on the porch by UPS, and drive away. Following a brief chase—during which Begley crashed her Jeep into a building—Begley was apprehended with two-and-a-half pounds of weed. At the same time,
A Forchion victory means that not only would he beat the system, he could potentially weaken those existing laws and help legions of fellow weedheads escape similar prosecution. “I want to be the Roe v. Wade of marijuana legalization,” says Forchhion other officers stopped Russell Forchion at gunpoint at a nearby stoplight. “When they pulled their guns on me and dragged me out of the car, they thought they were arresting my brother,” says Russell. “When I was out of the car they said, ‘That’s not the Weedman.’” Begley was indicted on possession with intent, eluding police, and resisting arrest charges, while Russell Forchion was hit with a conspiracy charge. Investigators traced the shipment back to a UPS store in Hollywood just two blocks from the Weedman’s Liberty Bell Temple. That’s where the trail ended. “They didn’t connect the dots, and I’m glad they didn’t connect the dots,” says Forchion, who will neither confirm nor deny that he sent the package. Both Russell Forchion and Begley say Luciano, who’s also prosecuting their case, has already offered them deals to flip on the Weedman. “They want me to rat him out so badly, but it’s a really go-nowhere attempt,” says Begley. “I don’t understand why they’re not happy just prosecuting the hell out of me, but [Forchion] is the target here. They seem to be willing to give up everything they have on me just to have double what they have on him.” Russell says Luciano offered him four years, with parole eligibility after one year. “I’m not taking any kind of a plea, I’m going out kicking and screaming this time.” Begley’s retained the services of a high-powered, highpriced attorney who plans to use some of the same arguments as Forchion—although not, as per the rules, a jury nullification defense—to gain an acquittal or reduced charges for his client. A trial date hasn’t been set, but for a while this summer it looked like Begley’s might happen before the Weedman’s. And so sure is he that he’s going to win his own case, Forchion’s most pressing concern of late was that Begley would win her case first, and the history books might show that “Begley vs. New Jersey,” was the pivotal decision in the long fight to legalize marijuana. “I’ve put 15 years into this!” Forchion says. “Someone’s gonna be the person that changes the law, and I wanna be that dude.” “I just hope they call it ‘Weedman vs. New Jersey,’” he laughs. n

T
ake a moment and allow this image to sink in: city-crushing monsters
battling it out in a luchador wrestling fashion. The intentionally misspelled Kaiju Big Battel brings narrative woven together with absurdity in “Last Stop: Danger.” Influenced by professional wrestling, as well as monster movies of Japan, the costumed, live-action drama features characters that seem to have stomped right out of some universe of manga superheroes. There’s a green, one-eyed destruction machine known as Cycloptopuss flailing his tentacles and snapping his claws. There’s a jingoistic hero named American Beetle, who’s covered in red, white and blue. Forces align to triumph over the evil Dr. Cube (who suspiciously looks like a grumpy block of tofu). This is a real-deal monster mash. Ashley Kole Sun., Oct. 16, 7pm. $20. Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St. utphilly.com

Long before Edward Cullen munched on bunny rabbits, there was a vampire whose very name evoked terror in all who heard it. All month long, the Rosenbach will be hosting Dracula-themed events in honor of the vamp who started it all. At the Dracula and Friends exhibition, visitors can see Bram Stoker’s research notes for his novel. Leslie Klinger, the editor of In the Shadow of Dracula, will hold a book signing on Oct. 12, and Josh Hitchens will perform Stoker’s Dracula on Oct. 27. On Oct. 29, the museum hosts a Dracula D.I.Y., a free event in which visitors can make Dracula crafts and pose in costume at a photo booth. No sparkling bloodsuckers in sight. NiKKi Krueger
to Living Cheaply in San Francisco. It was nothing more than a samizdat brochure that smartly unveiled to its cash-strapped readers a Babylon by the Bay filled with cheap food, drink and entertainment. But then something unusual happened: The zine’s penniless author—Broke-Ass Stuart, who looks not unlike a 20-something Tom Waits—became an overnight cult sensation in the Bay Area. He teamed up with a reputable publisher, which released his irreverent guides to living cheaply in both San Francisco and New York. And perhaps not surprisingly, a quirky travel show on the IFC network was the next step on Stuart’s ladder to career respectability; the first season of Young, Broke & Beautiful aired this summer. Currently, Stuart is touring in support of his latest tome, a sort of all-inclusive guide to life on the cheap. In Philly, his obligatory author reading and Q&A session will end in true Broke-Ass style, with an all-out dance party featuring DJ Handsome Sam. But not to worry, fellow broke-asses: This one’s free. DAN elDriDge

Along with being a gritty/ witty wordsmith (his 2005 track “Sound of Philadelphia” is one vivid, vicious breakdown of the City of Brotherly Love’s mean streets), the emcee still prefers to work with other like-minded, on-the-fringe rappers and producers. Still a card-carrying member of the Philly hip-hop clique Army of the Pharaohs, Reef has collaborated in the past with the likes of Kool G Rap, Jedi Mind Tricks MC (and Pharaohs founder) Vinnie Paz, R.A. the Rugged Man and others. Not a damn thing has changed with regard to his upcoming album, Your Favorite MC, which drops on Oct. 25. On this release, he worked exclusively with German production team the Snowgoons (yeah, we didn’t hear of them until just now, too), and includes appearances by Boston rapper Slaine, former Non Phixion member Sabac Red and Wise Intelligent of the Poor Righteous Teachers. And this is why we respect Reef, a rapper who surrounds himself not with the most well-known of hip-hoppers, but certainly people who know what the hell they’re doing. CrAig D. liNDsey 8pm. $7-$10.

The Smokers Club Tour For better or worse, marijuana’s become as much a part of hip-hop as beats and rhymes, and the five MCs blazing into the Troc tonight under the Smokers Club banner are partly responsible. Method Man: the elder statesman who dropped his “roll that shit, light that shit, smoke it” calling card on the now-classic Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Curren$y: the silk-lipped New Orleans spitta who zooms jets just to see how high he can fly. Smoke DZA: the rising Harlem boss whose latest album’s cleverly called Rollling Stoned. Big K.R.I.T.: the Mississippian puffer whose candy-coated pearl tires forever rotate. Fiend: the ex-Ruff Ryder/No Limit trooper who burns one on the cover of 2003’s Can I Burn? 2.

Laurie Anderson When multimedia artist Laurie Anderson’s dog, Lolabelle, died on Palm Sunday, the rat terrier entered the bardo. According to Tibetan Buddhism, that’s the transitional zone where creatures go while awaiting rebirth. For several weeks, the stately pooch swirled in a dreamlike world of
ghostly figures, white light, white heat and prayer wheels, and even bumped into Osama bin Laden. Anderson’s Forty-Nine Days In The Bardo, a series of massive drawings now showing at Fabric Workshop & Museum, documents the fantastic voyage. Also showing is Anderson’s “Iron Mountain.” In a dark room, tiny illuminated beings—including a 4-inch tall Anderson playing violin, Lolabelle, and a woman awakening on a sofa— dwell and pulse. The voyeuristic sensation— as if you’re gazing at someone’s most private moment—is exhilarating and disturbing. There’s even a clay violin containing Lolabelle’s remains. Tonight, Anderson discusses the work and performs. elliott shArp 6pm. Free. Through Nov. 19. Fabric Workshop & Museum, 1214 Arch St. 215.561.8888. fabricworkshopandmuseum.org

Philly-based multi-instrumentalist and producer rjd2 has his roots in hip-hop, but as his last two albums demonstrate, he’s broadening his boundaries. Last year’s The Colossus was a blend of nu-soul and electronic hip-hop, a sort of Robin Thicke meets Diplo. And nowadays, he’s collaborating with Aaron Livingston, frontman of Philly rock group the Mean, in a group called Icebird—the same group that’s opening his show at Union Transfer. Icebird is a funky, dirty beast, a garage rock-cumsoul act with sultry vocals, full instrumentals backed with clever samples, and a strong resemblance to the Roots, whom Livingston has previously collaborated with. Katherine SiLKaitiS
life rock ’n’ roller Dominique Scott (from Domin8trx) and Hairspray ’s Shannon Mullen play the leads in a performance packed to the gills with classic ’80s rock hits from Journey, Twisted Sister, Pat Benatar and Styx.

There’s always been an iciness to MtB’s intricate math rock, keyed to their use of keyboards. While the guitars shimmer atmospherically, they also slash and twist spasmodically to match the slithering post-punk rhythms. The synths are the icing on the cake, sometimes layered thick enough to dull the guitars’ hard corners. So it’s perhaps inevitable they release an album like last year’s Omni, which bit into a ’80s new wave/soul sound displaying a disconcerting resemblance to Phil Collins, Howard Jones and Rick Astley. Hopefully now that the indie retro prog-soul’s out of their system, they’ll liberate the guitars and we can expect a return to their post-punk/ art-rock roots. ChriS ParKer
The weather is still nice enough to wander around South Street with a drink in your hand. So this week, sample a variety of
foods from around the city and jam out to some of the city’s emerging acts at the third annual Bloktoberfest. This year promises to be bigger and better with a wider selection of beer, more blocks and food and faster service. Area restaurants will offer their food curbside and Philadelphia’s food trucks will be on the scene. The Walkmen, Toy Soldiers, Paper Monster and Cozy Galaxies provide the soundtrack. The event is free to attend but a beer pass is required to drink—they’re available online or at the fest and passes include drink tickets. The more you drink, the more proceeds go to support students and various education initiatives in area schools. Winwin. Brenda hiLLeGaS Noon-8pm. Free. Rain date, Oct. 22.

Viva Brother Now that the shoegaze revival has come and gone, it’s time for the resurrection of the U.K. craze that immediately followed: Brit-pop. The sometimes-artsy, sometimes-pub-rock, often-Beatles-influenced movement had its day in the mid-to-late-’90s, then faded when stalwarts like Oasis, Blur and Supergrass lost their mojo. But Viva Brother—from the tiny southern English borough of Slough— is bringin’ it all back with a bit of swagger, similar haircuts and bright, fuzzy pop tunes that draw liberally from the songbooks of the aforementioned, plus the criminally overlooked Dodgy. All in all, it’s catchy and likable enough to overlook the calculated nostalgia trip. miChaeL aLan GoLdBerG 9pm, $12. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave. johnnybrendas.com

P.S. I Love You In the 1962 song “P.S. I Love You,” the Beatles sang sweetly of writing a letter to show you how much they love you. You, you, you. In the 2007 tearjerker P.S. I Love You, Gerard Butler died of a brain tumor, then hung around like a ghost to show how much he loved Hilary Swank, his grieving widow. In the 2011 Canadian garage-rock duo P.S. I Love You, hefty singer-guitarist Paul Saulnier and wiry drummer Ben Nelson show you how much they love you by cranking the amps until your ears bleed, singing about butterflies and boners, and bringing one of the best muthafuckin’ ruckuses this side of the Black Keys.

See ideas, prototypes and mock-ups of the crazy inventions and solutions dreamt up by everyone from design students, philosophers, thinkers, architects and urban planners. Think of it as the car show of design, presented through 1-minute videos and one sheet of paper. The ideas will range from the grandiose (a proposition for promoting world peace), to the very small (running shoes with pedometers), to the very strange and wonderful (fabric swatches to control chronic pain) and allow investors, journalists and the inquisitive public to get a glimpse of a future worth looking forward to. aBiGaiL BruLey 6pm.

It’s one thing to watch Andrew Zimmern on TV and convince yourself that you’d eat the same stuff he does, bravely setting aside the cultural predispositions that have been evolving in you since your first night in the delivery-room bassinet. But it’s another to actually do it, to muscle past the food fears and discomfort that play a very real part in how all of us see and experience the world. So when I ordered the pig’s-blood soup two weeks ago at Abadia, in Porto, Portugal, it was still an abstraction, something I thought I’d taste, cringing through the first bite, taking a second (you always taste a new dish at least twice; the first bite is all about acclimation, the second is where you can pick apart its actual flavors and textures), and moving on to the beautifully nonthreatening back-up dish of caldo verde I’d also ordered. And then it arrived—a thick, mahogany-toned bowl of what resembled nothing so much as a finely ground chile, but given serious added heft by the congealing thickness of, well, pig’s blood. Without giving it any more thought than necessary, I scooped up one heavy, barely moving spoonful and took a bite. It was revelatory: a mineral, almost livery mouthful, scented with cumin and rich with the tang of iron. Five minutes later, I’d eaten half the bowl.
One of the great thrills of travel is the opportunity to experience these little moments of discovery. When we push ourselves beyond what we thought we were capable of, we not only find unexpected glimmers of what the world has to offer, but also parts of ourselves we didn’t know were tucked away inside. I’m out of the country several weeks every year on tasting trips, and when I come home, I often find myself craving that same sense of discovery—or, at the very least, the chance to experience similar foods right here in Philadelphia. Luckily, there are more places to do that here than ever before. Koo Zee Doo, for example, is not just an excellent restaurant in its own right, but it also provides a deeply accurate version of so much of the food of Portugal—a country whose culinary culture has, aside from certain enclaves in the Northeast and elsewhere, been generally underrepresented in Center City, Old City, NoLibs and the rest. Like the best restaurateurs, however, Pastry Chef Carla Gonçalves and Chef David Gilberg, co-owners of Koo Zee Doo, don’t allow their respect for the food of Portugal to result in a static, calcified menu that’s out of touch with the prevailing culture of this city. “I think that’s actually where we’re most different from all the other Portuguese restaurants, is that we’re not the sports-bar-
type of restaurant with a five-page menu,” Gonçalves says. “You know, we’re like any other BYOB, no matter what the cuisine is. We focus more on the food than anything else.” In other kitchens, that might mean catering down a lower common denominator and avoiding the dishes that could be more problematic for a domestic audience. But Koo Zoo Doo doesn’t do that, and one look at its menu, with its monkfish and blood sausage skewers, its braised chicken gizzards, shows that it certainly doesn’t shy away from earthier preparations. But it also doesn’t only peddle in them, either. In fact, Portugal’s food scene right now is rather dynamic, taking influences from cultures all over the world. Koo Zee Doo’s menu reflects that aspect of the country, too, with its salt cod sashimi, for example. Still, it’s tradition that guides this NoLibs gem night after night. As a result, the food finds its success on two fronts: accuracy and relevance to the audience on this side of the Atlantic. “I think we’re not really trying to change it up too much; we always try and honor the flavor base at least,” Gonçalves says. “We’re a Portuguese restaurant in America, so we’re just trying to stick to the authenticity, I guess.” That devotion to authenticity has provided one of the more interesting, satisfying developments in our local food culture in recent years. In general, serious eaters used to have to venture to those far away enclaves to find a more accurate evocation of the cuisines they experienced while traveling. Now, however, opportunities abound. One of the most lauded in recent years has been Han Dynasty, the Chestnut Street star whose food is changing what many of us thought we once knew about Szechuan food. “I tell all my customers that this is what real Chinese food is,” owner Han Chiang tells me. “Like, whatever you think you’ve had [that’s] Chinese food is not. A billion and a half people in China have never heard of all those dishes you like.” His refusal to sell the sweet-sticky dishes offered at so many Americanized Chinese restaurants has actually earned him a devoted following. His iconoclasm is one of the pillars of his success. Han believes that other Chinese restaurants in the city are more than capable of preparing authentic Chinese food; the issue is that the front of the house is reluctant to sell it. He believes it’s his duty to educate his customers—and if that means losing some of them, so be it. “I would say like 90 percent of the people appreciate it,” Chiang says, “and we get 10 percent of the people that don’t like people telling them what to do ...” Of course, there are some dishes he just can’t serve—he notes stinky tofu in particular—but, in general, he has managed to create a successful business, and serious, continued buzz, as a result of his unwavering belief in authentic food. “I don’t care if you like it or not, I’m just going to tell you what I think is best,” he tells me. “If you don’t like what I’m selling you, don’t come back. This is what I’m going to do.” Bracingly honest, passionate, and opening up doors to flavor and texture experiences that many of us never knew existed: This is the new authenticity in Philadelphia dining. It’s not only seriously good eats, but a lot cheaper than a plane ticket. Now, if only someone would put that pig’s-blood soup on their menu ... n

“Freely adapted” from Miguel de Cervantes’ novel Don Quixote of La Mancha, Obolensky continues the grand tale begun by Cervantes 400 years earlier. In Obolensky’s version, Alonzo Quixano (Graham Smith) is now late in years and has retreated within the walls of his country manor, where he plans on living out his final days in relative repose. An unauthorized biography, however, has just been released and is causing a stir throughout Spain. It tells a romantic story of an earlier period in Quixano’s life when he roamed the country as Don Quixote, a chivalrous knight errant, who along with his servant Sancho (Chris Faith), battled windmills and fell in love with the beautiful Dulcinea. Hoping to exploit the popularity of the unauthorized biography for his own profit, Sancho convinces Alonzo to leave his quiet life and embark on a search for Dulcinea. What follows is a strange but entertaining story that travels the thin line
dividing fantasy and reality, sanity and madness. Whimsical but never frivolous, Marini’s production changes moods as often as the story changes locations. Inspired by the carnivals of the era, scenic designer James F. Pyne Jr. uses painted muslin drops, cutout props, rolling wagons and wooden horses to keep the action moving swiftly. Obolensky makes it clear from the beginning that she intends on celebrating Quixote’s adventurous brand of idealism though she repeatedly gets sidetracked examining issues such as authorship and the malleability of identity. Luckily, Faith and Smith are on hand to keep us focused on the unlikely friendship between the scruffy Sancho and reserved Alonzo. One of the area’s most consistently pleasing performers, Faith occupies the role of Sancho like a comfortable pair of jeans. Jolly but manipulative, Faith’s Sancho is devious, ambitious and even a little cruel, but ultimately he is good at heart and endearingly loyal to his friend and master. It is Smith’s performance that makes the production worth a visit. Playing the role with the sort of gravitas usually associated with the great tragic heroes of Shakespeare, as Alonzo he is cautious, guarded and even a little fearful. His Quixote is just the opposite, a bold and courageous man of great conviction. Yet as different as they are, neither is any less real. They are both virtuous men and in his quietly assured performance, Smith not only provides the production with its moral center, but also gives us a Quixote, and an Alonzo, worth rooting for. n

Six Pack
Six Movies That Imagine the Latter Life of Popular Figures By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com
Robin and Marian (1976): Some characters are so vivid it’s hard thinking of them as made-up. Traditionally that’s where fan fiction comes in, but sometimes real people play this game, too. James Goldman, the author of The Lion in Winter, sketched this lovely portrait of Robin Hood (Sean Connery) and Maid Marian (Audrey Hepburn) in middle age, struggling to reconnect after he returns from the Crusades to find her in a nunnery. Director Richard Lester would return to the genre again: His last film was 1989’s The Return of the Musketeers, adapted from Alexandre Dumas’ Twenty Years After, proving that even the literary giants weren’t above fanboyish “What Ifs?”. Bubba Ho-Tep (2002): One of the more tolerable by-products of the “Elvis ain’t dead” craze postulates that the King (Bruce Campbell!) not only didn’t die but languished in a nursing home, where he battled mummies.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003): Among comic artist Alan Moore’s many
brilliant ideas was a universe comprised of history’s literary characters, where the geriatric Allan Quatermain, Dracula’s ageless Mina Harker and others were recruited by MI6 as spies. There’s also a movie. Don’t watch it.
Saraband (2003): Perhaps Marianne (Liv Ullman)
and Johan (Erland Josephson), the protagonists of Ingmar Bergman’s marital Thunderdome Scenes From a Marriage, aren’t as iconic as Robin Hood or Elvis. But they’re rich and believable enough that the filmmaker dusted them off for his final film, fomenting a reunion that would shock the orignal’s fans by not only being civil, but warm.
somehow, at 66. He’s 69 now, with another Indy on the way. For some perspective: Charles Bronson was 63 when he made the final Death Wish and John Wayne was 68 when he made his action swan song, Brannigan.
Sunday shoes still intact after watching Footloose.

Blackthorn (2011): Butch Cassidy and Harry Longabaugh, aka the Sundance Kid, are so popular they inspired a 1969 film classic, a prequel— Richard Lester’s ill-fated Butch and Sundance: The Early Years—and now a low-rent oater that suggests Cassidy not only wasn’t killed but grew up to be played by Sam Blackthorn Sheppard. n
drunken-driving accident after a prom three years ago has prompted these good folks to pass an ordinance prohibiting teenage dancing. The good reverend Shaw Moore—played by Dennis Quaid with his usual, slightly unsettling constipated grimace—watches over his flock with sanctimonious, extreme unction. But the preacher should be keeping a closer eye on his teenage daughter Ariel (Dancing With The Stars ’ Julianne Hough), who By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com is something of a wild child, and in a bit of incongruous casting doesn’t look a day under 30 years old. (When she finally tells Daddy she’s not a virgin anymore, I half-expected her to add that she’s also divorced.) It’s true that you can’t fight City Hall, but you can get your neighbors to sign a petition so you might be able to have a prom. There’s not really a lot at stake in Footloose, which even in its 1984 incarnation was basically a halfassed excuse to get from one self-contained MTV-friendly dance sequence to another. Brewer, to his credit, understands dancing. This Southern-fried, possibly insane auteur was the man behind the pimp apologia Hustle & Flow, as well as the truly bizarre Black Snake Moan, in which Samuel L. Jackson’s blues musician chains nymphomaniac Christina Ricci to a radiator in order to keep her from banging the paperboy. Though it might cost him some street cred, Footloose represents a big step up for Brewer, simply by virtue of not being one of the most appallingly misogynistic movies ever made. Set in present day, yet weirdly rife with popped collars and skinny ties, Brewer’s Footloose exists in an aesthetically pleasing timeless funk somewhere between the 1980s and today. Sure, these kids are krumping. But they’re also listening to Kenny Loggins and wearing denim-on-denim Canadian tuxedos. Brewer shows admirable loyalty to the original picture’s hit soundtrack Smooth moves: Kenny Wormald (left) and Julianne Hough weren’t with a selection of off-kilter covers—the most regrettable hired for their acting skills. of which reveals that Jim Steinman’s “Holding Out For A Hero” lyrics sound even more hilariously absurd when Why Footloose? Why now? performed as a Tori Amos-styled piano ballad. But at least Such questions probably won’t come to mind if you’re he sticks with Deniece Williams’ original “Let’s Hear It one of the many already waiting with bated breath for For The Boy,” because why mess with perfection? Craig Brewer’s exuberant remake of 1984’s sublimely silly It is refreshing in this day and age to see dance sequencmusical. As the major studio-release schedule more and es performed by people who don’t have two left feet. Brewmore comes to resemble a recycling bin, it was perhaps er shoots them all in the widest possible shots, making only a matter of time before spiky-haired rebel Ren full use of the cinemascope frame and doesn’t cut unless McCormick made his return to movie screens, wreaking he absolutely has to, avoiding the mishmash of flash-andhavoc amongst the stuffy bigwigs of small-town Bomont dazzle editing that the original picture suffered from, by daring to dance in public. which has since become an epidemic. It’s a strange feeling to find yourself These kids can really move. Footloose nostalgic for crap. One of the most Which is a good thing, because faithful remakes in recent memory, lord knows they weren’t hired for Grade: C Footloose credits original screenwriter their acting skills.

I than not seems she’s auditioning for a doubt I have seen so much as a single school play. I like to think that Dennis frame of Footloose in at least 20 years, Quaid’s maudlin, dewy-eyed perforyet weirdly enough I knew exactly what mance sprung from a spirit of generosity, these characters were going to say half a beat before the as if he saw how badly his co-stars were floundering and sentences came out of their mouths.

While partly ignored or demonized by mainstream American news outlets and politicians, the American Black Power movement received a sympathetic ear from an unlikely source: white Swedes. The doc The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 is comprised entirely of news items filed by Swedish journalists, who spent the titular years obsessed with the civil rights battles on the other side of the ocean. Their cameras capture highlights from the Black Power timeline. Stokely Carmichael delivers speeches whose fiery content is made even more potent by his calm, cool delivery. Journos hang with Angela Davis in her jail cell as she responds to criticisms of violence by talking about knowing the four little girls killed in the 16th St. Baptist Church burning in Birmingham, Ala. By film’s end, the proliferation of drugs in black communities has created another nest of problems, combated by rising star Louis Farrakhan. The showcasing of clips you’ve likely never seen before is enough reason to embrace The Black Power Mixtape, particularly since they represent a form of journalism that’s positively alien. The journalists allow their subjects to speak at length, letting ideas run long and develop complexity. That’s to say nothing of mainstream mediamakers lending a sympathetic ear to minority activists during a time of high civil unrest. The wares the Black Power Movement offer are more than mere novelty, and yet all the doc amounts to is a quickie history lesson from a class you’ve already taken. Despite the inclusion of modern commentators on the soundtrack—including ?uestlove, Talib Kweli, Danny Glover and Erykah Badu—any modern-day relevance is strictly superficial. Moreover, Diretor Göran Olsson never once examines what drew Swedish journos at the time to African-American plight. This is less a film than a compilation, and one that cries out for someone willing to probe even deeper.
Blackthorn
Grade: BReview by Matt Prigge
28
In the neo-western Blackthorn, a grizzled horse-breeder named James Blackthorn (Sam Sheppard) reluctantly agrees to tag along with a thief (Eduardo Noriega) for that fabled one last score. There’s a twist, and one that you’ll see coming over the horizon, but the hairpin turn comes early: Blackthorn is really Butch Cassidy at AARP age. Turns out he wasn’t spectacularly gunned down alongside the Sundance Kid, but instead lived on in hiding.
A high concept is more than this modest oater— which would traditionally wind up on a double bill with a John Wayne titan—can handle, but it’s not enough to make it collapse. The idea is to craft an over-the-hill western along the lines of Man of the West or Ride the High Country— films that ponder on aging and regrets in between shootouts. The filmmakers are lucky to have Sheppard, whose acting, as ever, is as laidback and laconic as the plays he writes are grim and determined. His Butch Cassidy has spent the back half of his life relaxing in the shadows, planning an American return that never need happen and watching everyone he once knew die. In that sense, he’s already dead, and his heaven is lording over cows and banging his Indian housekeeper (Magaly Solier). The intrigue into which he becomes embroiled is intended to give him a taste of the good old days and a break from the loneliness of aging. He only gets an unassuming B-western, and not one of the sneaky great ones, but it’s better than nothing. Writer Miguel Barros mostly falls on mildly disorienting substitutions—the Bolivia desert instead of the American, gunfighters with an XX chromosome—to give his slender tale the illusion of freshness. He’s less successful with the peppered flashbacks to the young Butch and Sundance, intended to summon the goofy spirit of George Roy Hill’s Newman-Redford fave but which instead play stiff, saccharine and drenched in what could only be called sensitive old man guitar music. Sheppard—and Butch Cassidy—deserve more, but this will do.
Trespass
Grade: D+ Review by Matt Prigge
The notion that great actors can elevate weak material is severely put to the test in Trespass, sadly not a remake or even a reissue of Walter Hill’s excellent rapper-studded 1992 neo-noir. Four acclaimed actors, two of them Oscar winners, swell the ranks of Joel Schumacher’s muddled home invasion thriller, all of them acting their hearts out for a screenplay that deserves direct-to-video-grade talent. Nicolas Cage, whose financial woes have driven him to take every script that hits his mailbox, plays a diamond broker who overworks himself in order to maintain his family’s moneyed lifestyle. His workaholicism has taken its toll on wife Nicole Kidman, whose presence in such dreck is a monstrously depressing reminder that no one sees movies starring Nicole Kidman, not even the good ones. Their McMansion is broken into by a bevy of thieves led by Ben Mendelsohn, whose performance as an off-kilter psycho in Animal Kingdom should have netted him a better agent. Meanwhile, no one saw David Schwimmer’s online stalker drama Trust, which is why its well-received star Liana Liberato appears as the teenage daughter who has, conveniently, sneaked out for a party. Trespass is not an actor’s showcase, although these four try anyway. Although near-comatose, thanks to beatings and gunshots, Cage sporadically allows himself to spring into nutty action, letting loose nervous chuckles and the over-the-top ranting for which some of us still occasionally admire him. Opposite him, Kidman delusionally operates as though the material were competent, or that her character had a coherent throughline. Yet, she delivers the same kind of alert, nuanced performance she did in Margot at the Wedding and Rabbit Hole. Kidman’s weirdly strong work, rather than distract one from the inanity around her, only makes the disparity between material and execution that much more chasmic. This is one of those movies that relies solely on endless twists, that ritualistically changes character’s personalities at the drop of a hat, that features our heroes escaping then nonsensically getting caught no less than four different times, and that includes dissolve-heavy flashbacks that aesthetically resemble the videos at karaoke joints. In other words, it’s just another Joel Schumacher product. n

This Week in New Music
Some Dreams Never Sleep EP (The Hundreds)
Philly hip-hop artist Gilbere Forte’ dropped this 11-tune EP last week. I have only one quip. It opens up with a collab track with Mississippi MC Big K.R.I.T. called “Black Soul.” It’s a banger, no doubt, but the first voice we hear on the EP is K.R.I.T.’s, not Gilbere’s. Now, in the hip-hop game, such guest appearances are critical for new artists, who often need to hook up with a bigger name to get their foot in the door. (Making appearances on later tracks are Bun B, Pusha T, Casey Veggies, Tyga, Asher Roth and Jim Jones.) But it’s still a bit awkward, and it’d be great to hear Forte’ come out swinging with his normal confidence straight out the gate. That said, Forte’ kills his verses. “I left my old contacts and Blackberry at the crib/ Any moment I’m gonna make it, I don’t owe you niggas shit,” begins his story of dreamrealization. He’s a compelling storyteller, the production (courtesy of Raak) is fresh and hard, and this is definitely his most focused release so far.
Future Islands On The Water (Thrill Jockey)
Feist
fourth LP title will be, I’d say Something Something Earth or Something Something Fire. There’s actually a song on this one called “The Great Fire,” so, yeah, probably Earth. Listeners who really dig bizarre vocals are gonna go gaga for Samuel Herring’s mouth-steez. It’s warbly and dramatic. Very dramatic. For those who hate goofball singers, you’re gonna disregard this sucker as some sorta intolerable postCoheed & Cambria silliness. Musically, it’s like a less urgent and pop-virtuosic and sexy “Purple Rain,” which is what the title-track actually sounds like. They’re fully capable extra-mellow pop numbers, and one or two could easily be danced to by Bill Murray in his next midlife crisis/learn-tolive-again film. Particularly “Burn The Bridge,” which has “zany dance scene” written all over it. Those aside, there’s not much else here that’s gonna get the floor doing much but slow grinds. If you wanna take a sleepy trip with a weirdvoiced tour guide, here’s your ticket.
Ryan Adams Ashes & Fire (Pax-Am/Capitol) Ryan Adams takes alotta piss. People really and deeply and truly hate him. I am not one of them. The whole Whiskeytown discog slays, as do many of his solo records, particularly Heartbreaker, Gold, Demolotion, Love Is Hell and Cold Roses. The North Carolina native can write a damn song. His last few, though, have lost that grit, recklessness and swagger, and the result’s a much weaker product. Perhaps Adams is the kinda musician you have to grow old with, like Jeff Tweedy of Wilco. Perhaps it’s wrong, and even selfish, for us to think that songwriters can stay wild and hell-bent forever. Hell, Ryan’s a married man now, and settled up with Mandy fucking Moore. Dude’s probably happily on lockdown, no longer jumping off ferryboats and posting up at the pub until closing time. While he used to drunkenly fantasize about “Cherry Lane,” now he’s living it, loving it, as perhaps a grown-ass-man should. But, you know what? I’m wrong and selfish and I want the fucked-up version back. Naming the album Ashes & Fire is just a tease, cuz this one ain’t about burnin’ the whole thing down to the ground, but building up a newer, stronger kinda love. n

The punk band formed by Philadelphians Nicole Snyder and Rachel Gagliardi were reflecting on their first tour—they encountered a creeper in Baltimore with a human centipede tattoo and scored the Clueless soundtrack on cassette in Olympia. “I think we’re gonna go for it and be a real band,” concluded Snyder. Thank fuckin’ god, because they rock! Snyder bashes her drums with the might of an axe-throwing lumberjack and Gagliardi’s powerchords roar like a runaway buzzsaw. They swap vocal duties—singing about teen moms, tween dreams and the smell of milk—and they’ve got that attitude that made bands like Sleater Kinney and Brat Mobile really rip. They’re also pranksters, like when they recently looked for dates on Twitter: “Any 16-19 yr old skater boys wanna date us? we’ll buy you cheeseburgers and smoke u out.” Tween dream, indeed!

Where Men Meet Men
SavageLove
By Dan Savage mail@savagelove.net
I’m a college freshman. I thought college would be the place to come out, but the sad fact is that college hasn’t changed anything. I’m still unable to admit my sexuality to my friends, teammates, classmates and hallmates. I have thought about joining the LGBT organizations, but those guys are too “out” for me. Not that there’s any problem with that. I just don’t think that being gay is anyone else’s business unless I want them to know. The hardest part is seeing other freshmen go out to parties, hook up and date when I don’t have the opportunity to do so. I’ve resorted to going on Craigslist, but my encounters have been weird. What should I do? Closeted Undergrad You’re not required to disclose who you’re going out with, CU, or the gender of the folks you would like to go out with. But keeping your sexual orientation a secret indefinitely—not your sexual interests (which you can keep to yourself), but your sexual orientation—will ultimately warp your psyche and your life. Think about it from the other side: What would the straight guys on your team have to do in order to hide their straightness from you? They could never mention their girlfriends, go out on dates or hook up with someone they met at a party. They would have to hide their porn and be careful not to check out girls in public. They could never get engaged, get married or have kids. They might be able to have furtive, secretive and shame-driven sexual encounters with other closeted heterosexuals they met online or in places where closeted straight people gathered to have anonymous sex, but finding love—true and lasting love—would be extremely difficult. It wouldn’t be impossible—some gay people managed to find lasting love back in the bad old days—but it would be difficult. And the sneaking around and hiding and lying would ultimately warp their psyches and their lives. If you don’t want to get warped, CU, you’re going to have to come out. And once you’re out, you don’t have to hang out with gay people with whom you don’t click, and you don’t have to be gay the way, say, the LGBT groupers on your campus are gay. Remember: Gay men who are out at your age (18?) tend to be a bit gayer than the average gay dude. They’re out in part because they can’t be in. And God bless ’em and more power to ’em and the gay rights/liberation movement would never have gotten off the ground without ’em. But since you can pass, CU, you’ve had the option of waiting. You have, of course, the option of never coming out. But as you’re discovering, CU, it’s hard to date in the closet, and DL-enabling sites like CL and Grindr aren’t going to deliver the kind of connections you want. So long as you’re limited to quickly arranged hookups with guys you don’t know, can’t risk getting to know and can’t be seen with in public, all of your encounters are going to be weird. Not because all the guys on CL or Grindr are weird—there are good guys on both sites—but because you’re trying to have a life and keep it secret, that tends to attract weirdos without lives. Look, CU, you’re only 18. You’ve got time. But what you’re going to realize, in not too much more time, is that dating and finding love—or even just sex—inside the closet is nearly impossible. You can remain in the closet and keep your business secret, but you won’t have much of a life in there. And when you realize that, CU, you’ll come out. First to a friend or two, then to your family, then to everyone. And once you’re all the way out, you’ll find that the guys you’ve been focusing on—the “too out” guys—aren’t the only
gay guys out there. Just some of the best. I know it’s hard. But you can do it. All it takes is opening your mouth and saying the words.
Last night, I was blowing a male friend. When I glanced up from “my work,” I saw that he was texting someone. I didn’t say anything and finished the job, but I was offended. Another friend says I should’ve mentioned it because he might have been taking a picture. At the very least, what he did was rude. Any insight from you? When Blowing Blows He was taking pictures or making a video and may have been emailing pics/vids to his buddies in real time—don’t be an idiot, WBB—and you should’ve snatched that camera from his hand and stuffed it so far up his ass you could’ve sent yourself a picture of the roof of his mouth. Please cut this out and tape it to the mirror in your bathroom: Any girl who’s uninhibited enough to blow a “friend” has to be uninhibited enough to blow up at that friend if she spots him taking sex pictures without her consent.
I’m a straight male, age 26. I’ve been with my girlfriend for seven years. We’re lucky in that we have a group of friends who are into having sex with us. My question is, what is the proper etiquette for condom use between my girlfriend and me when others are present? We don’t use condoms when we’re alone, so we haven’t been using condoms when we’re in front of others. They are using them, and I use them if I have intercourse with another girl, so the risk for the two of us intuitively seems minimal. Is there anything we should be concerned about? Group-Sex Rookie If you and your girlfriend have been tested and you’re “fluid bonded” (ugh! That term!) and you’re not having sex in front of strangers at, say, a swingers club or party where someone might misinterpret your condom-free sex as a license to initiate condom-free sex with randoms to whom they are not fluid bonded—preventing these worst-case/biggest-idiot scenarios is why many organized swingers clubs require condoms-forall during group/public parties—then I don’t see why you and your girlfriend should have to use condoms with each other. So long as you’re careful about always putting on a condom when you need one, you’re both willing to assume the higher risks of acquiring one of the STIs that can be passed through skin-to-skin contact, and seeing you two go condom-free doesn’t make your friends so insanely jealous that they can’t get it up/on in your presence, then knock yourselves out.
This is in response to Messed-Up Junk. His junk sounds just like my junk! But my junk isn’t messed up. I’m a transman—so a twoinch “micropenis” actually sounds pretty damn good! Anyway, I wanted to say this to MUJ: Don’t let your junk stop you from hopping in bed with whomever you damn well please. I know lots of guys with junk like yours who get plenty of action from lots of fine ladies—and gents. As long as your junk gives you sexual pleasure and you are willing to pleasure your partner, there is much fun to be had. Yes, having a body that’s different can be terrifying. Be honest and up-front, but don’t let your head and your fear get in the way of hot sex. Pumped-Up Junk Thanks for sharing, PUJ. n
