Big bam boom

The Fillmore bursts onto the city’s live music scene.

ait, what’s that you hear? If you’re in Fishtown, near Frankford Avenue and Allen Street, it may no longer be construction, but it’s probably not the sound of silence either. Could it be the crackle of anticipation in the air? This Thursday, Oct. 1, after an impressive, nearly year-long rollout, The Fillmore Philadelphia, the eagerly awaited seventh concert-hall franchise under the Live Nation-owned House of Blues Entertainment’s umbrella, is finally set to unbolt its doors at the long-shuttered Ajax Metal Factory. With its official “Fillmore” branding, the 2,500-capacity venue pays homage to the storied history of San Franciso promoter-turned-nightclub owner Bill Graham and the pioneering San Francisco hub from which he helped counter-cultural icons like Santana, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Frank Zappa, The Who and so many others launch into the major-influence stratosphere. It’s entirely fitting that the city’s iconic Hall and Oates are the ones christening the grand-opening stage. The 2014 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and most successful pop duo of all time are inarguably, as Michael Gonzales described them in a Philly Weekly cover story last year, the “world renowned ambassadors of the Philly sound.” With their sold-out performance-as-benediction and the Graham legacy attached, it feels like The Fillmore’s very presence is an almost cosmic convergence of past, present and future. Still, among the sweet cacaphony we’ll have access to via this new party palace, there are inevitable voices of concern, questioning the details of what will happen here at the intersection of art, commerce and community. They’re curious, as are we: How will The Fillmore’s arrival augment Delaware Avenue’s rapidly expanding entertainment district in ways beyond the obvious? How will Live Nation’s firm grip on the concert-tour game impact those beloved smaller, indie clubs that have long been the life’s blood of our live-music scene? Particularly, what effect will we see upon nearby venues like Johnny Brenda’s, Union Transfer and the Electric Factory—which just celebrated its 20th year, a mere mile and half away on Seventh Street? What will it mean for the bottom lines of local and touring bands we love and want to see and support? And finally, what’s it all mean for you and me, regular working folk just looking for an occasional quality night out—the audiences to whom all this pomp and fanfare is targeted? That’s all to be determined, and Philly Weekly is looking forward in the months ahead to explore it in depth as the shape of the evolving landscape comes into focus. Until it does, I, for one, look forward to stemming my ‘hood envy by hopping onto SEPTA and hitting the area around Girard and Frankford with the purpose and passion of a woman on a mission—one that will soon include frequenting my favorite drinking hole, crossing Delaware Avenue for a top-rated steak at Hugo’s Frog Bar and Chop House (due to open by the end of 2015) and heading back across the street to catch some amazing, hopefully-legendary acts at The Fillmore Philadelphia. Who’s with me? n

Toshi Reagon sings Octavia Butler’s epic dystopia

ctavia E. Butler’s landmark 1993 science fiction novel, Parable of the Sower, paints a dark American future of California water shortages and extreme economic disparity—and stars a Black hero whose superhuman power of “hyper-empathy” renders her able to experience first-hand, in her own mind, the pain that other people are suffering. The book has been a tremendous influence on a generation of imaginative storytellers—including acclaimed musician/songwriter Toshi Reagon, who has adapted Parable into a musical concert that debuted in New York this year and hits the Annenberg Center this week.

4 | Philly Weekly | September 30 -October 7, 2015 | phillyweekly.com

“Even though it is set in the future,” Reagon tells Philly Weekly, “it is a present-day story. It is what we are doing right now that leads us to an even more darker and troubled future. I heard music as soon as I started reading it.” What she loved about the story, she says, is that “there is a line of—not of hope, but of execution, meaning be what you think is right. Move the way you should move if you are not going to be destructive. Prioritize and agree to not hurting each other, not stealing from each other.” Parable of the Sower: The Concert Version has been receiving rave reviews. It’s especially timely in Philly, coming close on the

heels of Princeton’s recent symposium of Afrofuturist artists. “I have been a fan of science fiction and Black fiction writers for such a long, long time,” she says. “I am so thankful for Octavia Butler, because no matter what future or past she imagined, we were always there—often within diverse communities. Not limited by the way we in America think of diversity, her spectrum was wide. I think young Black people refuse to live in a world where even the fictionalized future does not include them and their voices.” —S.H.S.

Post-Popemania onesie at Born Yesterday

Pope Francis’s five-day East Coast pilgrimage may have made an immeasurable spiritual impact on world citizens of every faith, or even none at all—not to mention his effect on John Boehner’s tear ducts—but it’s no secret that many a local business took financial hits during his time here and those lockdown days preceding it. Still, all’s not lost: Some of that overstocked restaurant inventory probably resulted in unexpected meal donations to nearby shelters and an increase in inventive dinner specials at a hangout of yours. There’s already some post-Pope hustlin’ underway—some of it pre-planned, like Philly Phaithful’s onesie for infants sporting a cute-crass boast that’s as Philly as it gets. (T-shirts are available for parents or sibs, too.) C’mon, what’s more Philly than water ice? And isn’t paying homage to Jesus’ very first miracle considered a good thing? Whatevs—this thing’s smile-inducing. That’s enough. And if you’ve any pearl clutchers grimacing and groaning over a wine reference on an infant’s clothing item, just remind them that the babies can’t read it. Who it’s for: Grandchildren and godkids, souvenir collectors, parents of Pope-costumed cutie Quinn Madden, t-shirt hoarders.

Devon platform bed frame at Cella Luxuria

As if you needed another reason to stay under the covers all weekend. For this showpiece platform bed, famed designer Thomas Bina uses reclaimed and responsiblyharvested acacia and peroba woods cut into rectangular pieces and handcrafts them into a massive, multi-textured headboard, finished with natural beeswax. It’s undeniably artful, chic and sexy. Bina, the ex-law student turned environmentally conscious founder of Environment Furniture Inc., takes pride in recycling discarded, weather-worn materials for his stylish, innovative pieces, and, like his customers, no two are exactly alike. Sure, the pricetag may scare you, but this stunner’s an investment piece, and why shouldn’t it be? Our bedrooms are our individual centers for self-care—indeed, our own unique sanctuaries—where we do far more than simply sleep. So, whether yours is where you read and meditate alone or relax and snuggle with a mate or kids, make it as inviting and comfortable as possible. Yes, it comes in king size, too. And at either size, the mattress isn’t included. Who it’s for: Interior design buffs who like making bold statements, Hank Moody, loft-dwellers with no plans to relocate in the near future.

F I V E B EERS ON TAP

DRINKING THROUGH THE BIBLE

eff Alworth has won praise as a beer writer through his blog, Beervana, and his work in a slew of publications. His third book, The Beer Bible, is now hitting shelves. He’ll be in Philly on Sat., Oct. 3 for a 3:30pm signing at The Grey Lodge Pub (6235 Frankford Ave.), so we decided to take a quick jaunt through some beers worth exploring in Philly while he’s here.

To get local: Stoudt’s Gold Lager Alworth has never been to Philly. His publisher almost wasn’t going to send him here, either, until Alworth pointed out that Philadelphia is perhaps the most important beer city on the East Coast. So what does a traveling beer writer try when visiting the City of Brotherly Love? The rich history German-style lagers have here sounds appealing to him: “Thankfully, craft beer is finally catching onto lagers. That was a dirty word when craft beer first started.” Our recommendation: Stoudt’s Gold Lager at Standard Tap. It’s a subtle, deeply traditional beer that demands a discerning palate to undercover its complexities, but sweet malts, a dash of noble hops and touches of earthy spice make it a winner.

To touch history: Tröegs Dead Reckoning When in Philly, it’s impossible to escape the grasp of American history—and if you want to reach back into history, few styles are a better time machine than porter. “Porter is kind of the ancient American style,” Alworth notes, pointing out that this import from the British Isles was the first strongly popular style in the States. Tröegs Dead Reckoning isn’t strictly traditional—it’s hopped a little more robustly than George Washington would have liked—but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great porter. The huge white head reveals aromas of chocolate and coffee, and each sip offers mild dark fruits, toasted nuts and some pine-forward bitterness. Get this on draft at Good Dog.

For the autumn weather: Weyerbacher AutumnFest One thing Alworth won’t get during his visit is the

blistering heat of a Philly summer. With the changing of the seasons, now is the time to dive into the wonderful Marzens (aka Oktoberfests) brewed here in Pennsylvania. “In October, we’re between summer and winter. Those transitional beers look pretty nice. There’s a reason why Oktoberfest beers are so popular,” Alworth says. A good local choice is Weyerbacher AutumnFest, a grainy, copper-colored beer with all the caramel sweetness, grassy hops and earthiness you expect from the style. It’s a perfect beer to drink with good food and friends on a cool day. Do so at McGillin’s, Heritage, Tattooed Mom and Watkin’s Drinkery.

To toast the Pope: Westmalle Tripel Another

thing Philly’s visiting beer writer won’t be getting is the crush of crowds associated with the Pope’s big visit. That doesn’t mean he can’t have a beer in the Big Man’s honor, though, and what better beer to have than a beer made by monks? When it comes to Trappist ales, Alworth recommends Westmalle tripel: “It’s not super hoppy, but it’s about 38 IBU, which for a Trappist ale is quite strong.” This robust beer looks unassuming, but don’t let the color fool you. It hits nearly double digits in ABV, and the boozy, bready aroma gives way to flavors that include mild dark fruits, sweet candy and faint grassiness. It’s a classic example of the style; find it at Belgian-themed establishments like Monk’s.

To drink while reading: Sly Fox Chester County Bitter (on cask) When all is said and done, it will be time to

unwind with Alworth’s book, a 600-page tome that covers every major style in great detail. You’ll probably want to do so with a beer. He suggests a classic cask ale. “A lot of people sit at the pub in England,” Alworth notes, “and they read.” Chester County Bitter by Sly Fox is a great place to start, a beer specifically made for cask pouring. Fresh biscuits and buttery toast, creamy soft carbonation and mildly spicy hops from the in-cask dry hopping make this a cask ale worthy of the finest pubs. Check it out at City Tap, Standard Tap, Johnny Brenda’s and The Victoria Freehouse. | ERIC SAN JUAN 14 | Philly Weekly | September 30 -October 7, 2015 | phillyweekly.com

Zahav, the cookbook Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook introduce home chefs to the world of Israeli cuisine. By Brian Freedman @WineUpdate

y wife asked me to please quiet down—she was trying to catch up on her backlog of episodes of Eastbound and Down, and there I was, sitting next to her on the couch reading Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook’s love letter to tahina, apparently a little too interactively: I was grunting and humming and ohman-that-sounds-good-ing. I couldn’t help myself: His passion for what he refers to as “the secret sauce” is contagious. (“Israelis,” he writes, “love tahina like Americans love Doritos and wrestling—unconditionally and a little bit irrationally.”) And reading his ode to the many and complex glories of sesame paste got me hungry all over again, despite the fact that I’d just finished a large dinner. Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking is exactly that sort of cookbook. The kind that stirs your appetite. The kind that introduces you to aspects of a deeply misunderstood cuisine. The kind that makes you appreciate just how lucky we are in Philadelphia to have Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook plying their masterful trade here. And while I’d never operate under the delusion that my versions of the dishes I’ve swooned at over the years at Zahav will ever be as stunning, this cookbook gives me both the confidence to try and the tools to create an excellent approximation at home. The recipes, edited by the supremely talented Joy Manning, are clear and approachable; the photography by Mike Persico is vivid and instructive; and the range of dishes presented is beyond generous (the book rings in at 355 pages before the acknowledgements). And yet, for all that it packs in between its covers, Zahav never feels weighed down. Indeed, much like a meal at the restaurant of the same name, it comes across as an act of generosity, of passion, of welcoming. That much is made clear in the beginning, where Solomonov discusses the evolution of his love of and respect for Israeli cooking, and the genesis of how it grew to occupy a space in his life that’s about so much more than simply what’s on the plate. It’s impossible to read about his formative years, and the tragic loss of his brother, without understanding how deeply this food has comforted and consoled him.

At the same time, it’s electric to read about how Solomonov and Cook happened to meet one another at just the right time in their respective careers, and how their partnership has changed the way in which we all eat in Philadelphia, and, indeed, how many Americans perceive the misunderstood foods of a country that is frustratingly (and too often) misunderstood itself. Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking does much to clarify and de-mystify the misperceptions about the foods of the country and the region, as well as the many and beautifully varied influences that have contributed to this astoundingly rich culinary tradition, while simultaneously casting them in a new light. From stuffed grape leaves and smoked sable egg-inthe-hole to fluke crudo and the infinite charms of perfectly cooked Persian rice, there is a dish here for everyone, and at every level of cooking acumen. At the same time, it gets the reader excited to attempt to recreate these ancient yet somehow deeply modern flavors at home. The work that Solomonov and Cook have created here is as valuable to the kitchen as it is to the overarching conversation. It’s a work of honesty, passion, family and deep pleasures. And it’s awfully difficult to read in silence. 

Russian River Supplication at Wild in the Streets. Among the hardcore beer nerds, few branch-

es of the Great Beer Tree arouse more glee than the wild and sour branch, an avenue of beerdom lined with challenging tastes and eye-opening flavors. On Sept. 12, you’ll have a chance to experience some of that wildness at Wild in the Streets, a wild ale celebration at Khyber Pass Pub. Among the 20 or so beers being featured is Russian River’s Supplication, one of the best sours produced in the United States. This sour brown ale is aged in pinot noir barrels atop cherries. It looks unassuming enough, but when your nose gets near the glass, you’re greeted with an acidic sour tang, fruit and mulled wine. Cherries come through in the taste, but are quickly washed away by sourness, vinous red wine and old leather. It’s a stunning, complex combination that grows more rewarding with each sip.

Inventive cocktails elevate Triangle Tavern’s Italian comfort food. By Brian Freedman @WineUpdate

Lunch & Dinner Buffet

or most of my youth, “South Philly Italian” was the very definition of the food of the boot. With monthly trips to Marra’s and the occasional stop at Ralph’s, it just never occurred to me that there might be other Italian dishes beyond the canon of veal parm, mussels in red or white, fried calamari and the rest. In many ways, it was a simpler time to enjoy Italian food. Now, of course, we have, as a city and as a nation, branched out to embrace regional cuisines of Italy that I never could have considered as a kid growing up in the ‘80s. That’s undoubtedly a great thing, but it has, to a certain extent, happened at the expense of our collective veneration of foods that, for many of us, were so formative for so long. Which is what makes the rebirth of Triangle Tavern so intriguing. For while South Philly Italian food is alive and well, it’s been a while since a spot this focused on it has generated such buzz. Expires 10/15/15. And, indeed, that buzz is justified, though perhaps the ideas behind Not valid more with anyfor other discount the food than the execution. Triangle gets it just right with the chicken parmeLocated at by 38th & Chestnut san sandwich, a typically generous portion anchored a palm-thick hunk of chicken crispy and tender. With a side of charred and blistered long hots, it’s pretty much the perfect plate to tuck into while watching a game at the bar. But then there are other preparations that missed their mark because of real • Open 6 days a week • problems with seasoning. Calamari, for instance, impeccably fried, their Closedwere Tuesday • Free Delivery insides so tender as to be nearly melting, their exteriors crackling crisp. But their seasoning crossed the line from assertive to aggressive, and by the time I finished the serving, I was parched. The Caesar salad suffered a similar fate, each bite off-puttingly sharp with the almost metallic tang of too much saltiness. Fortunately, there’s plenty here to quench that thirst with. And while I was uncertain about whether to order the “white negroni,” I followed the advice of our fantastic server and went for it. What arrived was a bracing, shimmeringly refreshing cocktail crafted with Bombay Sapphire, Cocchi Americano, citrus bitters and Salers that actually partnered beautifully with the first few dishes. There are a number of inventive cocktails on offer—I also enjoyed the Hello, Suzie, which reminded me of an Italian kir royale—but the food hews closer to the classics. And, indeed, it takes guts to put spaghetti and meatballs on the menu in a neighborhood with no shortage of stellar versions. Happily, this one does everything it needs to, the pasta glistening in an old-school tomato sauce whose heartiness is sliced right through with bright acid, and meatballs wellstudded with significant knobs of bread, their outsides crisped up prior to a swim in the sauce. After a meal like this, tiramisu seemed to be appropriate, and the one here was a moist, soul-comforting wonder. Much of the new Triangle Tavern is. With its balance of central-casting hipsters (I loved watching the guy in the GAME DAY SPECIALS blue tank top and camo cap hitting on a girl in what looked like a hat indigenous to the Tyrolean Alps) and old-school locals all breaking bread together, there is something that just feels right about the place.

3 THINGS TO TASTE ASAP SOUP

Really Good Corn Soup at SOUTH

“SPIRITS ARE DEFINITELY HIGH IN HIGH SOCIETY!” - THE NEW YORK TIMES

NOW - OCTOBER 25

Dining on North Broad just got a whole lot more hospitable and a lot less run of the mill, thanks to Robert and Benjamin Bynum and the good people at their newly opened SOUTH—namely its chef, Louisiana native Paul Martin. His “new Southern” cuisine features newfangled spins on tried and true favorites. The menu’s transcendent hush puppies defy all expectations, with centers that are almost silken. Enjoy them next to a row of crispy fried oysters nestling a bed of spinach cooked in Herbsaint butter, two mounds of a sweet green tomato jam awaiting attention in opposite corners. However memorable those appetizers are, they pale next to SOUTH’s Really Good Corn Soup, an aptly-named bowl of piping hot, buttermilk-doused perfection. It’s light, creamy, plus swimming with fresh-shucked corn and huge, tender blue crab beignets smack-dab in the bowl’s center. Any of the above paired with the Kentucky Butler cocktail makes for a lovely starter to a sure-to-satisfy supper. Who it’s for: Splurging Temple or CCP professors, jazz-living lowcountry transplants looking for a taste of home, Alla Spina regulars bored with the same ol’ thing.

It’s hard to believe Malelani just opened on Germantown Avenue last summer; the charming little Mediterranean cafe is such a perfectly eclectic fit for its Mt. Airy location, it’s as if it’s always been there. It’s the Philly fellow of a sister Malelani down in Ventnor, N.J., and boasts a comfortably colorful hodgepodge of great Middle Eastern plates, wellconsidered coffee and tea offerings, live acoustic music and original art from local creators. Try lunch standards like the veggie pita or lamb gyro; try brunch dishes featuring fresh fruit; keep an eye out for special treat presentations like the recent sweet-potato “martini” (pictured). Who it’s for: Weekend wanderers, Northwest Philly neighbors, mixed vegetarian/carnivore posses, indie art appreciators.

BBQ Pork Sandwich at BRÜ Craft & Wurst

ALL DAY OCTOBER 15 2015

16 | Philly Weekly | September 30 -October 7, 2015 | phillyweekly.com

Center City’s friendliest German alehouse always has something enjoyable on offer. This fall, though, thanks to popular demand, BRÜ’s summer hold-over item may be what keeps ’em coming back till winter: their sensational BBQ pork sandwich. It’s a mountain of sauce-slathered meat slivers, topped with crispy shallots and served on soft toasted brioche, crafted from liberally seasoned pork shoulder that’s slow cooked at 225 degrees overnight and coated in a piquant, house-prepared barbeque glaze. Feel like smaller bites? BRÜ’s formerly-forgettable fried pickles have gone big-league: Thick slices of Westphalian ham are wrapped around each housemade pickle, dipped in batter flavored with Daisy Cutter Pale Ale and deep fried to golden sublimity. They pair wonderfully with another pale brew, Hill Farmstead’s Conduct of Life. (Also, BRÜ may still have a drop left of Philadelphia Brewing Co.’s limited Holy Wooder, brewed specifically to celebrate Pope-mania.) If you want to go the especially-festive route, swing by the BRÜ Fall Fest during Saturday’s Midtown Village Fall Festival, where you can enjoy these bellybusters while hitting BRÜ’s self-serve taps and groovin’ to the sounds of dope local bands, including Levee Drivers and Cultureal, from noon to 8pm on the U-Bahn stage. Who it’s for: Famished downtowners, appreciators of wide beer variety, swine dining aficionados. Where to get it: Brü Craft & Wurst, 1318 Chestnut St. bruphilly.com —S.L.

Thinking pink: the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign The American Cancer Society prepares for its annual city walk.

very year for the past 16, as October has marked Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Philadelphians and regional neighbors have gathered in the city to walk in support of the American Cancer Society’s “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” campaign. On Sat., Oct. 17, it will be that day once again. Those who walk—or simply donate—will be supporting local cancer efforts; last year, the ACS provided Pennsylvania patients with 27,000 rides to and from treatment, and gave $23 million in Pennsylvaniabased research grants. And prepare for some triumphant tear-jerking; as the ACS’s Stephanie Foster tells us, “Survivors kick off the walk by proceeding around a small loop of the route surrounded by family and friends, other participants, and team leaders cheering them on every step of the way.”

Sat., Oct. 17. 7:30am. Memorial Hall, West Fairmount Park, 4231 Avenue of the Republic. For info on how to participate or donate: makingstrideswalk.org/philly

Funny, not funny

Comedian Bonnie McFarlane ponders gender, Jersey and more.

hether you know Bonnie McFarlane’s wickedly dry sense of humor from her live stand-up show, her stint on Last Comic Standing, her performances on The Late Show and The Tonight Show, or her appearance with comedian husband Rich Vos on Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, you’ve seen her sharp wit puncture life’s little stupidities. Earlier this week, McFarlane took the stage at Helium Comedy Club for a show that benefited the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” campaign (see left)—and she’s playing one more show at Helium on Wed., Sep. 30. Philly Weekly chatted her up about what exactly is and isn’t funny for her these days.

You live in my home state of New Jersey. Are you in the Philadelphia part or the New York part? And how weird is it that New Jersey is a state with two cities, neither of which are actually in the state? I live right in the middle. And yes, it’s super weird. I’ve sent several letters to Chris Christie to change this, but so far he has not gotten back to me.

Did you watch Philly go crazy over the Pope coming to town? What do you make of it all? I think it’s cute

You once deadpanned in a stand-up routine that you like saying “no” to charity requests. Okay, so that was a joke; that said, how does it shape your set, knowing that the audience is assembled for a serious reason like supporting breast cancer patients? I want the audience to come because they love comedy. You don’t have to think about the charity or listen to anyone talk about it. You can really help someone just by laughing. My personal connection to it is that I’m a woman and a human. As with any charity, that’s enough. Now shut up and laugh.

You’ve got a memoir coming out in a few months. What’s the process like trying to translate your comedic persona onto the page? Writing about my life was actually really challenging — and yet, fulfilling, because I don’t really do it in my stand-up. With live comedy, I like telling jokes and talking about life in general, but not so specifically about my life.

that they’re treating the Pope like he’s Madonna circa 1989. For what it’s worth, I think this Pope is as good as it’s gonna get for the Catholic Church.

How closely are you following all the late-night talkshow launches and relaunches? Who do you like? Where are all the women? I don’t get why people are

You made a movie called Women Aren’t Funny. Of course, we laugh because we know women are funny — but what does it do to a woman’s sense of humor to have to deal with so many more unfunny things in the world above and beyond the ones that men deal with?

still watching late-night shows. That same format has been around for thousands of years, and they just keep making more and more of them with essentially the same dude in different-sized suits. Hasn’t that genre pretty much milked it for all it is? To me, there is nothing more boring than listening to celebrities try to relate to the masses. Yuck. n

It’s all in the movie! Available on Netflix and iTunes! But I will say this: Dealing with unfunny things can actually make you more funny and have a better sense of humor. People who treat everything as precious are 18 | Philly Weekly | September 30 -October 7, 2015 | phillyweekly.com

the worst and the least funny people in the world. So if you want to be funnier, take a good, long look at all that crap you were trying to avoid.

One Man Breaking Bad

The viral video turned live comedy stage show comes to Philly this week. By ERIC SAN JUAN @EricSanJuan

t all began with a viral video. Miles Allen was a struggling actor from the Midwest. Like so many others before him, he made his way to Los Angeles, only to hit a wall. He needed something to kickstart his career. Cooking crystal meth seemed like a bad option, but generating a little YouTube buzz? That might do the trick. So, at the prompting of friends, he ended up in a video in which he pretended to be a homeless man with a talent for Breaking Bad impressions. Flash forward to today: Allen will be coming to Philly to perform his hit comedy show, One Man Breaking Bad, at World Café Live on October 7. This was an unexpected turn of events by any measure. Much like Walter White never planned to go from dabbling in meth to becoming an incredibly wealthy (and murderous) drug kingpin, Allen didn’t expect the video and its million-plus hits to send him on a whirlwind world tour. He was just trying to make something happen. “You just keep creating until something sticks,” Allen says. “I can’t even really take credit for the video. I have to take my hat off to my good friends Bryan (Webb) and Sean (Gowdy). They came up with the idea of shooting the video. I figured, I’m an unemployed actor, so why not?”

There were no plans to turn it into a show, though. That came after Matthew Hardy, a theater producer from Australia, saw the video, called him up, and asked him if he’d like to develop his talents into an hour-long stage production. The call was the last thing Allen expected: “I said, let me check my schedule real quick. Oh, I happen to be free for the next month!” He took a leap of faith and ended up on a plane to Australia. Hardy developed a show around Allen’s talents. And before he knew it, it was winning huge accolades at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, then again at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. Soon, the United States beckoned. One Man Breaking Bad touches on all the show’s major plot points, from choking girlfriends to nursing home bombs to family squabbles with kitchen knives, but don’t expect a mere rehash of what you’ve already seen. This take on Breaking Bad is not only laced with sharp comedy and several musical numbers; it’s told from the perspective of Jesse Pinkman rather than Walter White, giving the story a fresh angle, even for longtime Breaking Bad addicts. It’s more than just a Jesse-centric show, though. “I impersonate all the characters and add other impressions and pop culture references,” Allen said. The goal is

22 | Philly Weekly | September 30 -October 7, 2015 | phillyweekly.com

to get you laughing. It’s also a show that is not shy about audience participation. Allen urges people to sing, chant and shout along during some segments. A passive experience this is not. “Since the show is about the fans (celebrating Breaking Bad), I try to get them involved,” Allen says. “I get them doing dance moves. I even bring some on stage.” Not bad for someone who a little over a year ago couldn’t even find acting work. The U.S. tour of One Man Breaking Bad kicked off in Tuscon, Ariz., and then, appropriately enough, in Albuquerque, N.M., where the television show was set. There, Walter White’s hometown gave him a standing ovation. “I was very humbled by it,” Allen said. “It was so surreal because in my mind, Breaking Bad showed a dark, seedy Albuquerque.” The real place and people, on the other hand, are “bright and happy.” Bright and happy is how he hopes fans in Philadelphia will walk away after seeing his show, too. n

bold idea is gaining traction on America’s college campuses: Sex is a collaborative communication, not just a green light to use someone’s body as an orgasm-procurement device. Students are being taught to practice affirmative consent, moving beyond the old “no means no” to the more cooperative “yes means yes.” Instead of putting the onus on an individual to fend off unwanted sexual activity, the responsibility to prevent rape is on everybody— each participant needs to get (and give) clear, enthusiastic indications of being on board. All affirmative consent means is that everyone agrees to what is happening. You have to be old enough/able to understand the situation, and you have to be free from pressure—that is, just as easily free to say “no” as “yes.” At any time, consent can be revoked. Making sure your partner is game is an ongoing process, and please note: It’s something that happens naturally if you’re actually any good at sex. A good lover bases their movements and pacing upon reading how their partner is responding. I don’t just round the next base because I want to, that is, but because we want to. For those who don’t pay attention to the other person’s pleasure, on the other hand, getting affirmative consent is indeed an extra step. So understand: Some body part getting hard or wet isn’t the same as giving consent. Those are things bodies do, usually outside conscious control. That’s why it’s a good idea to include verbal communication, too. Some worry about sounding too businesslike and killing the vibe, but there’s no rule that says you can’t make the question sound romantic—or completely filthy dirty. It can be daunting to say out loud what we want. We’re worried about sounding like dorks or suddenly catching on fire or whatever it is that anxiety insists will happen. It’s ironic that we’re more willing to do a thing than we are to talk about it—but we’re socialized to discuss sex in really limited ways, so we don’t get a lot of practice straight up saying, “I really wanna put [a] in your [b] while your [x] is on my [y] and I’m pressing down on the [z]. You in? Here, hold on to this handle.” This skill set—being a good, reactive lover—takes practice. Like life in general, it gets easier with experience. And that’s one of the many, many, many, many

reasons why combatting campus rape is difficult. Because young people aren’t educated about sex in general, much less the techniques of it, so they usually completely blow in bed. Pun intended. (Sure, there are exceptions, but most folks in their teens and early twenties are a pale, awkward shadow of their potential as lovers. If someone tells you like they “like ’em young” or some such creepiness, tilt your head to the side, slightly narrow your eyes and acknowledge silently that this person is probably awful at sex and prefers partners who don’t know any better.) Back to consent: All good people want to prevent sexual assault. Some people are equally worried about false rape accusations. These people are seriously misguided. It’s impossible to establish definitive stats of either sexual assault or false accusations. The vast majority of survivors don’t report, often because it could lead to further trauma, harassment and lots of hurtful disbelief. There’s little to be gained from coming forward except the hope of preventing further assaults. Claims are sometimes retracted because the survivor feels like it’s not worth the trauma to continue pressing charges—but for a person concerned with the “problem” of false accusations, these cases are dubbed examples of girls crying wolf. Adding to the recorded number of “false accusations” are cases where parents, boyfriends or others made the assault claim for someone else in the first place. People who are worried about boys’ lives being ruined by false charges rarely acknowledge their own skin in the game. They might say they’re concerned about their sons, but refuse to admit, at any level, that their boy might be capable of touching anyone without expressed consent. This kind of wishful thinking isn’t good for anyone; it just helps perpetuate the fog of ambiguity. Affirmative consent not only removes any doubt about whether a situation was mutual, it makes for better sex, too. Yes, it should be the baseline for rules on college campuses—but really, we ought to be adopting it in our own lives, as well. n

SAVAGE LOVE

by Dan Savage | Twitter: @FakeDanSavage

Monogamy for whom?

’ve been dating this guy for almost two months. It’s been pretty good, except the sex isn’t really the best. I have this other male friend who has had a crush on me. Long story short: My friend made a move on me the other night. I told him I couldn’t, and he knew why, but to be honest, I was insanely turned on by his forwardness. He apologized, but a week later we hung out, and I told him that it really intrigued me, and we ended up having crazy cool sex—satisfying in all the ways the guy I’m dating isn’t. I haven’t told the guy I’m seeing about this, and I don’t plan to. But I feel guilty. I keep rationalizing that we have never had a talk about exclusivity, and I therefore have no obligation to him. I want to keep fucking my friend, but I also enjoy dating this other guy. Am I an asshole? Am I obligated to disclose that I’m not interested in monogamy with him? —Too Many Intrigues Are you an asshole? That can’t be ruled out, TMI, but I can’t make a determination with the limited data you’ve provided. One asshole move—and cheating on Mr. Two Months was definitely an asshole move— does not an asshole make. We know this because while everyone is guilty of the occasional asshole move, not everyone is an asshole. Assholes are made when asshole moves come one right after the other, and an ever-thickening layer of asshole moves hardens into total assholery. Anyway, while you might not have had a conversation with the guy you’re currently dating/cheating on about exclusivity, you wouldn’t feel guilty about what/ who you did if you didn’t think Mr. Two Months was operating under the assumption that you two were exclusive. So the cheating was an asshole move and your rationalization, as you seem to be aware, is a pile of self-serving bullshit that’s equal parts transparent and unnecessary. Because as much as you like hanging out with Mr. Two Months, the sex hasn’t been good for you and you haven’t been good to him. Don’t negotiate a nonmonogamous agreement. End it. I’m a straight 28-year-old female in a relationship with my boyfriend for two years. We live together, and on the weekends we care for his kid. We are very much in love and have a supportive, happy relationship. I’ve always had a hard time being monogamous. In every relationship, I tend to get a wandering eye around the two-year mark. Recently I went by myself to see a friend’s band and ended up meeting a man I had an insane chemistry with. We spent the whole

evening together and wound up making out before I literally ran away. The next day, stone cold sober, I called him, drove to his house, and we f—d like crazy. It was animalistic and intense, and I felt like a fucking porn star. It was awesome. My boyfriend and I have sex that I truly enjoy, and I usually get off, but he struggles to be dominant, rough or talk dirty, which are things I really get off on. He says he’s too self-conscious to be dominant in bed. This stranger did all the things I wish my boyfriend would do. To test the waters, I casually mentioned an arrangement where we could sleep with other people, and he said he wasn’t into it. If I’m happy in my relationship, and the sex we have is consistently good, sometimes amazing, is that enough? Am I giving up on an aspect of my sexuality if I stay with him, or am I just looking for excuses to f— other people? —Likes It All Rough A loving and supportive partner, a happy relationship, and good sex that occasionally tips into the amazing column— yeah, most people would tell you that’s not only enough, LIAR, it’s a better relationship than the one they’re currently in, recently left or ever hope to find. But the fact that most people would like to trade places with you isn’t relevant, LIAR, because what you have with your boyfriend isn’t enough for you. You want love, happiness, stability and the freedom to f— other guys—and you would want that freedom even if your boyfriend was capable of dominating you in the sack just the way you like. Seeing as you know this about yourself—seeing as you know that monogamy isn’t for you (see: the wandering eye at 24 months, the f—ing that other guy at his place)—making a monogamous commitment you know you can’t keep is an asshole move. So here’s what you’re gonna do: Tell your lovely, loving boyfriend that nonmonogamy is a non-negotiable. You are willing, of course, to negotiate with him about the form your open relationship might take, but you must make it clear to him that a closed relationship is a recipe for disaster—because sooner or later, you will cheat on him. If he fights on that point, LIAR, if he tells you that he’s sure you’re capable of being monogamous, then you can tell him that by “sooner or later,” you meant “last week, with this dude I met in a bar.” n
