F
or a time before my mother just couldn’t take it anymore, I grew up in a pretty interesting pocket of North Philadelphia. Not quite Hunting Park and a little shy of Nicetown, back then my part of town was anything but nice, but it was still home. Being a child of the 1990s, I can remember while a student at John G. Whittier Elementary on ClearďŹ eld Street, an institution whose building is now up for sale courtesy of a cashstrapped school district, I remember playing wall ball in a schoolyard surrounded by crack cocaine vials and tiny baggies. When you’re 10-11 years old, you have no idea what you’re looking at, you just know that it’s dirty and you probably shouldn’t pick it up. This was in the height of the crack epidemic, a drug that stole more lives and created more junkies arguably than any in history. It crippled predominantly black communities and mine was no different. There’s something about seeing those little vials all over the street, some with orange caps, some red, some blue that sadly becomes an indelible childhood memory. I’m one of the lucky ones. My mother, working a pair of jobs and desperate to not have her children fall into the shit she witnessed with clearer eyes that ours put two cents together and moved us out to the pristine conďŹ nes of the Main Line, far from visible drug use and strewn litter – but also to both my sister and I far from any sense of diversity too. But that’s a column for another day and to be honest, my sister and I are both indebted to our mother for taking that leap by herself. Only today as a grown man with a child of my own do I truly grasp just how hard that had to have been. I fast forward to today and in a move back to the city I love into what I am repeatedly told is an “up-and-coming neighborhood,â€? instead of vials and baggies strewn about, it’s hypodermic needles left by a new crop of junkies crippled by opioid addiction.

watched a kid probably no older than I was just last week on his way to school kicking one out of his path as he walked down the street. It’s a situation so severe, that an activist group called “Need a Little Helpâ€? has started its own initiative in collecting, jarring and delivering the used syringes to city ofďŹ cials. City Councilwoman Maria Quinones Sanchez has vowed to keep a jar she received on her desk for the duration of the four-year term to show she’s committed to the ďŹ ght to curb opioid and heroin addiction. I speciďŹ cally remember these words from Sanchez in a June story from PW writer Andrea Cantor: “[The drug epidemic] is one of the things that is the most frustrating as an elected ofďŹ cial. You watch things spiral out of control, which is where we are now and realize that we have to systematically ďŹ gure out all the pieces that need to come together for us to demonstrate to folks that we care.â€? Frustrating is an understatement. I want my child to grow up in an “up-andcoming neighborhood.â€? I want him to be immersed in diversity, to go to city schools and get a great education. I’m committed to this city and it’s why I couldn’t wait to move back. But I also don’t want my kid playing around drug paraphernalia like his dad once did. I don’t want him kicking dirty needles down the street. If there is going to be a commitment from residents to remain in the city, they need to feel the love from the ofďŹ cials they elected. The love can’t just be felt in what’s deemed the pockets that matter. I’m willing to wager there are hardly any kids kicking needles out of the way in Society Hill, Queen Village or Rittenhouse. The once forgotten, oftblighted section that is Fishtown-Kensington has transformed into a boom town for the city’s real estate market, generating muchneeded dollars and bringing in residents that wouldn’t have even considered the section a decade earlier. It’s time to show the love. One simple way to do it? Start a routine street sweep of the neighborhood. Could be bi-weekly, could even be monthly, but it’s a small gesture to the residents of many of Philly’s “up-andcomingâ€? hoods to show your appreciation. No one’s asking you, city ofďŹ cial, to don a cape and save us all from the opioid epidemic. We’re just asking that you take the small step in cleaning it up so that our kids don’t have to kick it out of the way. Q

We’re on a conservancy kick this week as you can see from our cover, so it is a perfect time to announce that Jamie Gauthier was ofďŹ cially named the executive director of the Fairmount Park Conservancy.

She’s all about the implementation of greener public spaces and has proved she has the pull in City Hall to get it done, so as a pub that wants more places to chill in Philly, we applaud this move by the FPC.

ICE doxxed Philly residents who called new ‘snitching hotline’ BY MAX MARIN
O
n its ofďŹ cial governmental website, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement published a call log containing highly sensitive information about undocumented immigrants as well as those who anonymously lodged complaints about them. Among the thousands of doxxed callers, ďŹ ve came from the Philadelphia region. The call log stems from a newly established Trump administration program: a conďŹ dential tip hotline known as the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement, or VOICE. Launched in April, the hotline’s purpose is ostensibly to “provide proactive, timely, adequate, and professional services to victims of crimes committed by removable aliens,â€? though critics have maintained that it exists to further marginalize immigrants by encouraging neighbors to “snitchâ€? on them authorities. to federal 2&72%(5
Moreover, records recently obtained by Splinter News through the Freedom of Information Act request outlined a wide range of complaints made through the 6-month-old hotline. The bulk of the callers reportedly phoned in about aliens – extraterrestrial aliens, that is – while hundreds of other calls referenced undocumented persons both known and unknown to ICE ofďŹ cials. Government agencies generally redact any identifying personal information from records before handing them over to the public. Alarmingly, however, reporters learned that some of these call logs from the VOICE hotline were published in raw form on the agency’s online FOIA library. Hosted on ICE’s own website was an unredacted spreadsheet with detailed entries that left names, home addresses, workplaces, license plates and cell phone numbers of callers completely exposed. A Philly Weekly reporter was able to locate the unprotected spreadsheet with ease. In one entry from
“When the VOICE program was announced, we knew it would lead to increased surveillance and targeting of everyone who was perceived as ‘foreign’ or ‘different,’â€? said Sundrop Carter, director of Pennsylvania Immigration Citizenship Coalition, an immigrant advocacy group. “Instead of putting resources into legitimate, and much-needed victim services, ICE is promoting racial proďŹ ling and fear mongering,â€? she added. “This program must be ended, and ICE should be subject to greater oversight and accountability for its actions.â€? The number of complaints on the VOICE hotline is also a fraction of those immigrant rights groups receive about ICE ofďŹ cers on a regular basis, says Caitlin Barry, an immigration professor at Villanova

Philadelphia School District CFO Uri Monson speaks to a crowd from the Philadelphia Education Fund on the fiscal future of city schools.
The true cost of education Teachers have a contract, but at what cost to a cash strapped school district? BY SCOTT HIMELEIN
U
ri Monson walked down the stairs of his home one Saturday morning. As chief ďŹ nancial ofďŹ cer for the cash-starved Philadelphia School District, this Saturday morning offered a rare moment out of the course of a long week to not have to think about work. However as he arrived down the stairs his son was there to meet him with a copy of a newspaper. The headline read: Teachers, Philly schools reach tentative contract agreement Monson’s son looked at him and asked quizzically, “Dad, does this mean you’ll be home more now?â€? Ever since Monson signed on with the district in 2015, his primary initiative has been to agree to a teacher contract, particularly after four and a half years of a song and dance between the district and a restless union in the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers. “It was a distraction to everyone in the city,â€? Monson said in a recent sit-down with PW. “Within those four and a half years, those teachers weren’t eligible for raises or bonuses.â€? The deliberations predated Monson’s time with the district. With the unrest that began in 2012, and ended ultimately, with Monson placing a deal in principle between the district and the PFT on June 16. The contract allowed teachers to ďŹ nally receive several lump sum payments and percentage bumps in salary. It is considered retroactive pay to make up for the lack of raises while working without a contract. The teachers will also have to contribute a small percentage of their salary toward their health coverage. As for the child’s inquiry, Monson admits he has more free time since terms were agreed to. But headlines still swirl. The district is now in a $979 million deďŹ cit. Some believe a ďŹ scal cliff approaches. The contract added around $270 million to the deďŹ cit according to Monson. School Reform Commission
2&72%(5
member Bill Green, the only member to vote against the teachers contract, said its contribution to the deďŹ cit could lead to personnel layoffs by 2019. Philadelphia City Councilwoman Helen Gym believes the issues with the district’s ďŹ nancial health would remain with or without the ratiďŹ ed contract. “The state is purposefully starving Philadelphia public schools,â€? Gym said. “Bill Green is being disingenuous if he’s blaming the teachers contract for ďŹ nancial challenges. He hasn’t secured any level of support or signiďŹ cant relief from Harrisburg even though he’s a state representative.â€? One recent study from the Education Law Center concludes that the state of Philadelphia ranks 46th out of 50 states in funding education. The report claims the state is “overly-reliantâ€? on cities for education funding. “The situation is untenable without the teacher contract,â€? Gym continued. “The year before the contract was signed, we had hundreds of teachers vacancies. They were quitting and we couldn’t hire any back. It was impacting teachers’ lives.â€? There are horror stories of course. Last summer, 2,500 students in kindergarten through seventh grade were sent to summer school because they lacked a teacher for more than two-thirds of the year. Some high school students were forced into credit recovery programs just to fulďŹ ll requirements to graduate. Ismael Jimenez is a teacher at Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, and has seen the material impact of the ďŹ scal deďŹ cit and the subsequent tightening belt. “You receive a box of paper and supplies at the beginning of classes every year. Then that turned into a box of paper. Then it’s now two reams of paper a month,â€? Jimenez said. “It’s a slow bleed in the resources you receive. Teachers have to go out of their own way.â€? He said teacher morale has declined with the cuts. They had begun to expect less and less. Jimenez used to teach at Ger-
mantown High School, until it closed in 2013 and Jimenez was laid off. “I have three children. I didn’t know what I was going to do,â€? he said. The School Reform Commission voted to enforce those layoffs. The ďŹ ve-member board was delegated to make decisions regarding the School District of Philadelphia in 2001, with three members proposed by the governor, and two by the mayor. Feather Houstoun hated making the hard cuts, calling them “excruciatingly painful.â€? She had been put on the School Reform Commission in 2010 by Gov. Tom Corbett. She can still remember budget sessions with people screaming at her, tearful parents afraid that a school was about to close and outraged teachers who weren’t going to get their beneďŹ ts. “This is hard stuff,â€? Houstoun said. “We didn’t have enough money and we had to do stuff that wasn’t good for kids, teachers or families, but we had to do it.â€? Today, making cuts still is not off the board. Monson didn’t beat around the bush on the idea of layoffs: “I’m not going to say we’re laying this many people off or cutting that, but there should be no question in anyone’s mind if push comes to shove we’ll do what we have to do.â€? Some teachers feel the SRC is part of the school district’s ďŹ nancial problem and that control should be restored back to a city level. At a recent SRC meeting, members of the “Our City, Our Schoolsâ€? organization called for the board to disband, citing Gov. Tom Wolf himself calling for the disbandment during his 2014 campaign and Mayor Jim Kenney emphasizing local control in his campaign in 2015. “Every other school in Pennsylvania has an elected school board, said Jimenez. “Not having a school board that is accountable to the city is problematic to me. Something like a school closing [suddenly] becomes outside of anyone’s control. Another aspect is nothing has improved since 2001. Things haven’t improved after 16 years.â€? “It’s in violation of their duties,â€? added Gym. “The No. 1 reason we didn’t have a teacher contract is [because] we’ve been taken over by the state for 16 years. It was forced upon us. It was a hijacking of the ďŹ fth-largest school system in the United States.â€? But Houstoun doesn’t see the issue being the SRC, “We were all district people in the SRC. We were all Philadelphia citizens. It’s not like we were an alien force. That’s just how a lot of people perceived it.â€? Instead, the key to the district’s ďŹ nancial struggles in Houstoun’s eyes is by generating sustainable revenues. One way? Improving its credibility. Monson and other sources close to the District admitted its credit moving forward is an important component to its overall ďŹ nancial health. “It’s the most important thing,â€? said Monson, the district’s steward of its money. “It’s a structural deďŹ cit so one-time money won’t help.â€? However, there is one piece of good news that arrived from an unlikely place: Moody’s. The credit rating agency recently upgraded the district’s revenue bonds credit rating for the ďŹ rst time since 2010. It cited the School District of Philadelphia’s “structural balance and operating surplusesâ€? in its positive report. It’s a welcome sign for a district seeking for sustainable funds wherever it can get them. All in an effort to prevent anymore cuts which at the end of the day come at the expense of the most important thing: the student body. Q TWITTER: @SCOTTHIMELEIN

r. Wesley Muhammad bills himself as “the lecture that Facebook and YouTube banned.â€? As of Thursday morning, he can add “South Philadelphia high schoolâ€? to that list. The Nation of Islam minister and controversial black intellectual was promptly uninvited to speak at a conference being held at Universal Audenried Charter High School this week. Why, you ask? Reportedly because event organizers discovered what Dr. Muhammad would actually be talking about. On Wednesday evening, a promotional ier circulated rapidly around Philly social media advertising Muhammad’s lecture, “How to Make A Homosexual: The ScientiďŹ c Assault on Black America.â€? Muhammad, who shared the ier with more than 30,000 followers on social media, is known for espousing a range of anti-LBGTQ conspiracy theories, most prominently that the U.S. government is engaged in a ploy to turn black men gay through potent marijuana. His appearance, originally scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 7 at Universal Audenried Charter High School, was billed as part of the 23rd Annual International Locks Conference, a black-focused health and beauty expo. Conference organizers could not be reached, and the Philadelphia School District did not respond to requests for comment. However, Mayor Jim Kenney said he was glad the Muhammad’s appearance had been nixed. “Obviously, I think that’s a completely inappropriate speaker and a very hateful message, and I’m glad that school has taken steps to address it,â€? Kenney said, through a spokesperson. Philadelphia magazine’s G Philly blog, which ďŹ rst broke the news, noted that organizers of the Locks Conference were unaware of the ier and that Muhammad’s anti-gay lecture was “not the original topic agreed upon with Dr. Muhammad.â€?

One Nation of Islam speaker believes that smoking marijuana opens the gateway to homosexuality in black males and is going to lengths to explain why. On his Facebook and Instagram pages Thursday morning, Muhammad responded to the revoked invitation with characteristically addled verve. “That’s unfortunate. Nevertheless, I continue to support the Locks Convention and pray that our people support it,â€? he wrote. “So it is clear that the two most powerful lobbies in America - the Jewish and the Homosexual - are hellbent on the information in this lecture, ‘How To Make A [sic] Homosexualm’ NEVER makes it to the public’s awareness. You should ask yourself, Why?â€? It isn’t the ďŹ rst time Muhammad has responded to a snubbing by doubling down. In August, BET’s website published an article that was critical of Muhammad’s appearance on The Breakfast Club, a syndicated radio show that has been called “the vanguard of black culture.â€? The Nation of Islam minister shared a screenshot of the article across several social media channels, with a rebuttal: “Homophobic? Nah BET. Nobody is afraid of homosexuals. We are just exposing the scientiďŹ c wickedness behind the current Black Homosexual phenomenon.â€? Audenried High School is run by Universal Companies, music scion Kenny Gamble’s ďŹ rm that operates seven charter schools for more than 4,700 students in the city. Muhammad posted that his appearance has been rescheduled for the same day at a mosque in Wilmington. Q TWITTER: @MAXMMARIN

civil rights advocacy group, was one such grassroots organization tabling for new recruits. “Here in Philly, and around the country, we are doing fascinating programs and running a foundation to help put boots on the ground and build community in all of our cities and towns,â€? explained Liz Balcom, a volunteer with the nonproďŹ t. “We have certainly seen a lot of people come and stop by our tent. I think right now with the climate, people are feeling that is important to show up and show out. It’s a happy day to be here with everyone.â€? Sarina DiBinca, executive director of Siloam Wellness, a local wellness center for people living with HIV/AIDS, was also at Outfest, reminding those of the work that needs to be done for the LGBT+ community. “This is about getting the awareness out, that if you do have HIV, there is a place for you to go that’s a safe haven with no stigma, and loving open arms for all,â€? said DiBinca, who heard ďŹ rsthand accounts of stigma-based discrimination against those with HIV/AIDS, from not being hugged to being given plastic at the Thanksgiving table while everyone else uses house cutlery. “You can go to the doctor and be on the right meds and have your viral load in check,â€? she continued. “But if you feel terrible about yourself, you are still going to be sick, because your emotional wellness plays a part. Clinics send their patients to us for that collaborative effort between the wellness and the illness.â€? While the day included tables that underscored serious realities, the reality of the day was love and acceptance. In comparison to Philly Pride’s other large event, June’s Pride Parade, Voltz argued that Outfest is more locally focused. “This is a much more comfortable environment. Every business does something special. It has got a much more intimate feel, even though it is signiďŹ cantly more people,â€? explained Voltz, who happens to be a self-described conservative. As to be expected, there was a small counter-protest with signs preaching biblical scripture and cautions against sin and depravity. Across from a man preaching anti-LGBT messages over a megaphone was the University of Lutheran Church table that maintained a much different philosophy. “God is a God of inclusive love. God cares about every single person, and human sexuality is a gift. Your gender identity and who you are attracted to does not determine God’s love for you,â€? challenged Pastor Fritz Fowler, was not only celebrating his third Outfest, but also his one-year anniversary to his husband. As to the counter protest, Pastor Fowler could only apologize: “I think it is really important to say I’m sorry. That hate speech coming from them is not representative of all Christianity. It’s representative of a very small portion of Christianity.â€? Q TWITTER: @ANDREACANTOR9

NEWS Did you ever expect Green Philly to become what it is, from a humble beginning as a blog to now one of the pre-eminent resources for sustainable efforts in Philadelphia? [Laughs] No, and in fact I would say it’s a total accident. My website really started because I was in my ďŹ rst year out of college and I was [working] in marketing, but I had really no clue what I wanted to do in the world. I actually didn’t have this huge environmental push, beyond thinking recycling was really important, but it started really because my employer at the time was taking away our recycling bins and throwing them into the trash can and it infuriated me! We had one in every cubicle and I actually took the time to separate everything and then they just go and tossed them? Yeah, I mean I got a little upset.
So Green Philly started because someone took away your ability to recycle? I know that sounds silly, but yes! My employer was in Malvern and so I used to carpool like an hour or more on I-76 and I remember having the conversation with her and being like ‘can you believe they threw our recycling bins in the trash?’ Also, the [impetus] to start a blog came from these guys I knew that had a Philly sports blog and had like 100,000 followers and so I thought if they can do it, we can totally do it, really how hard can a blog be? And that was really the birth of Green Philly. PHOTO: MAX MARIN
When it comes to Philadelphia’s continued growth in becoming a more earth conscious, sustainable city, Green Philly editor-in-chief Julie Hancher says the future looks bright.
So did you start this on your own? Were there other irate colleagues just like you who wanted to take action? I actually started it with a friend and former co-worker, but she moved to New York and now she lives in Cleveland and because of the distance slowly ďŹ zzled out in about 2010 because it was getting harder and harder. But it was the perfect storm of producing conferences and webinars and email marketing [at my daytime job] and in my free time really being obsessed with making this website grow that I just spent so much of my time trying to make it something people would want to read.

ou want to press Julie Hancher’s buttons? Offer her a straw. It’s probably one of a few ways to get a rise out of the co-founder and chief content creator of the popular Green Philly blog, a monster go-to-presence in the city for all things sustainability. There are others in Philly doing a phenomenal job, but where Hancher, 33, differs is that most of the efforts for Green Philly are done by her and just a handful of ever-rotating interns.

formal training in any of this, I’ve read a bunch of books on the subject of recycling and composting buying locally and looking at just how huge the bigger picture is. It really allows us too to tell the story of people doing some really great work in their community, so not sure what it’s called, but I do think it’s important.
Why Philadelphia? And why are you so passionate about making Philly as green as possible? Ironically, in 2008 is when we started the website. It’s also the same year the city started its Greenworks [initiative] by Mayor Michael
like bike share that merge the intersection of big business and nonproďŹ ts is something that we’re seeing more collaborations of and it’s exciting. I think the Zero Waste Initiative [started by Nic Esposito] is really inspiring, but it’s also people taking more pride in where they live. As infrastructure continues to change the city skyline, a lot of the people moving into these neighborhoods are making an effort to keep it clean, plant trees, organize community clean-ups. Again, it’s those little things that are happening that weren’t even a few years ago that’s really exciting to watch and that we recognize with our SustainPHL awards, really looking at the people doing their own thing to make Philly better.

Sustainability is one of those things where everything is gradual. Changing the mindset of people just doesn’t change overnight. I think it does take ‘baby steps’ in some regard because it’s a more approachable way to do things. – JULIE HANCHER, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, GREEN PHILLY
Nutter so it actually gave us a ton of content to work with. When we started this, we’d write more about national topics but it wasn’t doing as well...I live here and it affects the community at-large, pollution and waste is as much of a homegrown issue as it is a worldwide issue so we wanted to shed light on the positive and the negative that’s happening right here. Trust me, there is a lot to worry about right here at home.
When you take off the sustainability superhero costume, what else do you enjoy doing? I love traveling. I love seeing different parts of the country and then write about them. It’s really cool to see other cities and other parts of the country and detail what similarities if any they have with Philly. I just went to Glacier National Park [in Montana] and it’s now my new favorite place in the entire world, I mean like bucket list level awesome.

Sustainability is one of those things where everything is gradual. Changing the mindset of people just doesn’t change overnight. I think it does take ‘baby steps’ in some regard because it’s a more approachable way to do things. We’re living in a generation where people are more aware. They are recycling, they are working for conscious companies, but there’s still a mission to get people to get little things, like single use water bottles, or stop using as much plastics. So it’s less about trying to make big change occur overnight, and just make people more consciously aware of what they do every single day.
What else is coming down the pike that happening in Philadelphia from a sustainability standpoint that we should get excited about? I think we’re seeing more and more people questioning how they can do better and a lot of those people are business leaders. Things

I have an email in my inbox right now from someone asking where they can recycle 8-track tapes? [Laughs] It’s literally an email that I have to go research because I honestly have no idea, but it’ll make for another great column. I get a lot of how do I recycle, where do I drop off, can you come pick this up for me? I’m not the Streets Department. I think though, it’s a really cool thing because this was started because I wanted to help people so even though some of these questions are sometimes so ridiculous, it is a learning experience. People coming to me with questions is still pretty cool to me and as we’ve grown I have more and more resources to get the answer. That’s why we started this to help in anyway we can.

At just 24 years of age, Danielle Seipp has quietly positioned herself as one of the finest pastry chefs in Philadelphia.
After dinner delight Osteria head pastry chef Danielle Seipp is as sweet as the delicacies she creates BY SWABREEN BAKR
T
o say that there’s a large pedigree behind Osteria would be an understatement. When it opened its doors in 2007, the restaurant was the second in the growing Vetri Family empire. In the 10 years that it’s been serving food inspired by the traditional osterias in Northern Italy, it has earned three bells from the Philadelphia Inquirer and a James Beard Award for Best Chef Mid-Atlantic for head chef Jeff Michaud. Michaud may serve as the face, but the players behind the scenes are another great story. For instance, the past two years have found Danielle Seipp holding it down as Osteria’s head pastry chef. Seipp, 24, was hired after staging - the food world’s version of an internship - for six months at the age of 19, while still in culinary school. Although she hadn’t dined at Osteria prior to staging, she knew about it through school and fell in love with its particular style of Italian food. For Seipp, it was a learning experience as she was more familiar with French and German food making but as she went on, she noticed the crossovers and similarities between the cuisines. Seipp worked her way up from a pastry cook to sous chef to her current position as head pastry chef. She’s the ďŹ rst pastry chef they’ve had in-house. One of the

There are two staple desserts and a rotation of three to ďŹ ve seasonal items, including gelatos and ice creams. There’s also a full bread service - which includes ďŹ ve different breads - so there’s an enormous amount of prep that goes into everything.

MUSIC It was more than bright lights that captivated a near-capacity crowd on Oct. 6 when Glass Animals made a second stop in a little over a year at the Fillmore.

UK psychedelic pop-rock quartet Glass Animals drop another gem at Fishtown’s Fillmore BY KERITH GABRIEL
M
aybe it’s the pineapple. Or the palm trees. Or the random on-stage television. Actually, it was most likely the overwhelming stench of dank weed that aided in mesmerizing a near-capacity crowd at The Fillmore when British indie rock group Glass Animals made a pit stop in Fishtown last Friday. The band was touring to support the release of its second album, How to be a Human Being, but it was songs from its ďŹ rst album Zaba that sent the crowd into collective rapture. If it wasn’t the dual melodies coming from keyboarding duo of Drew MacFarlane and Edmund Singer that captivated the crowd it was deďŹ nitely the insane amount of energy for every song exuded from lead singer Dave Bayley. The one thing that was also eye-catching was a consistent mix of songs from Zaba and HTBAHB that made fans sing along and listen intrinsically to Hayley. The stop was the group’s ďŹ fth on a multi-city world tour that continues through June 2018, with scheduled stops in Mexico and Australia. While most of their tunes consisted of a real pop, rock vibe it was the indelible sounds of songs like “Toesâ€? and “Gooeyâ€? off its sophomore album that still felt like a virtual back massage even though the group has had both in a steady rotation since their inaugural drop in 2014. “These guys are the real deal,â€? said Alyssa McNesby, a Bella Vista native who had seen them play two nights earlier at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall. “My friends and I wanted to catch them

as many times as they were close to home, so we jumped in the car right after work to see them at Radio City. They’re incredible and I feel like they aren’t screaming at you or whining about something. It’s just chill out, and enjoy the music, music.â€? Glass Animals does have a pretty interesting way of playing a setlist that has a timely mix of songs slated to raise or lower your heart rate at perhaps the perfect time. Slowed by the melodies of MacFarlane and Singer, the tempo can instantly take a turn with the combo of Bayley and drummer Joe Seaward intensifying the BPM. It was a show that felt intimate, a testament in part to the design of The Fillmore, which has continued to be one of just a handful of venues along the corridor of Fishtown’s East Allen Street, that’s actually worth making the trek to. A venue with solid acoustics and an inviting layout, that it’s the second time in a little over a year in which the quartet from Oxford, England, pit stopped in Philadelphia to play a show at The Fillmore. On both occasions (last stop prior to Oct. 6 was a Sept. 26, 2016, show) fans received their money’s worth too as the group surprised with a pair of encore singles. During Friday’s go-around after it was made to believe that “Gooeyâ€? was slated as the ďŹ nal act of the evening, Bayley and Co. emerged one more time to drop two more singles. Mesmerizing, inviting and entertaining, the latest stop in Philadelphia from Glass Animals was yet again, truly one to remember. Even for those with a contact high. Q TWITTER: @SPRTSWTR

SAVAGE LOVE:
Poly wants DAN SAVAGE I’m a 25-year-old woman currently in a poly relationship with a married man roughly 20 years my senior. This has by far been the best relationship I’ve ever had. However, something has me a bit on edge. We went on a trip with friends to a brewery with a great restaurant. It was an amazing place, and I’m sure his wife would enjoy it. He mentioned the place to her, and her response was NO, she didn’t want to go there because she didn’t want to have “sloppy seconds.â€? It made me feel dirty. Additionally, the way he brushed this off means this isn’t the ďŹ rst time. I go out of my way to show him places I think they would like to go together. I don’t know if my feelings are just hurt—if it’s as childish as I think it is—or if it’s a reminder of my very low place in their hierarchy. I hesitate to bring this up, because when I have needs or concerns, they label me as difďŹ cult or needy. Is this part of a bigger trend I’m missing? Should I do anything to address this or just continue to stay out of their business and go where I wish with my partner? – Treated With Outrage I’m having a hard time reconciling these two statements, TWO: “This has by far been the best relationship I’ve ever hadâ€? and “when I have needs or concerns, they label me as difďŹ cult or needy.â€? I suppose it’s possible all your past relationships have been so bad that your best-relationship-ever bar is set tragically low. But taking a partner’s needs and concerns seriously is one of the hallmarks of a good relationship, to say nothing of a “best relationship ever.â€? That said‌ I don’t know you or how you are. It’s entirely possible that you share your needs and concerns in a way that comes across as—or actually is—needy and difďŹ cult. Our experience of interpersonal relationships,
like our experience of anything and everything else, is subjective. One person’s reasonable expression of needs/concerns is another person’s emotionally manipulative drama. I would need to depose your boyfriend and his wife, TWO, to make a determination and issue a ruling. That said‌ It’s a really bad sign that your boyfriend’s wife compared eating in a restaurant you visited with him to fucking a hole that someone else just fucked, i.e., “sloppy seconds.â€? It has me wondering whether your boyfriend’s wife is really into the poly thing. Some people are poly under duress (PUD), i.e., they agreed to open up a marriage or relationship not because it’s what they want, but because they were given an ultimatum: We’re open/poly or we’re over. In a PUD best-case scenario, the PUD partner sees that their fears were overblown, discovers that poly/open works for them, embraces openness/polyamory, and is no longer a PUD. But PUDs who don’t come around (or haven’t come around yet) will engage in small acts of sabotage to signal their unhappiness—their perfectly understandable unhappiness. They didn’t want to be open/poly in the ďŹ rst place and are determined to prove that open/poly was a mistake and/or punish their ultimatum-issuing partner. The most common form of PUD sabotage? Making their primary partner’s secondary partner(s) feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. That said‌ As you (probably) know (but if you don’t, you’re about to ďŹ nd out), poly relationships have all kinds of (sometimes incredibly arbitrary but also incredibly important) rules. If one of their rules is “My wife doesn’t want to hear from or about my girlfriend,â€? TWO, then your restaurant recommendations are going to fall at. Being poly means navigating rules (and sometimes asking to renegotiate those rules) and juggling multiple people’s feelings, needs, and concerns. You have to show respect for their rules, TWO, as they are each other’s primary partners. But your boyfriend and his wife have to show respect for you, too. Secondary though you may be, your needs, concerns, feelings, etc., have to be taken into consideration. And if their rules make you feel disrespected, unvalued, or too low on the hierarchical poly totem pole, you should dump them. Q

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: “Kathy was recommended by someone in Dockside. We were selling my brother’s property after his death. We were told she had the most condos sold in the property. It went up on February 29th and was sold 2 weeks later. We were impressed with her knowledge of the area and her honest approach to the pricing. I would highly recommend and use Kathy’s service again.� - Nancy Patricella
