phillipe + Jorge’s cool, cool World

Poker faces Chafee ups the ante; Colorful language; road worriers May 30, when Governor Linc Chafee officially changed his party affiliation from Independent to Democrat, cannot have been a good day for Providence Mayor Angel Taveras or state General Treasurer Gina Raimondo. While the announcement was a shock equivalent to Jenna Jameson declaring she is not a virgin, it now makes the potential gubernatorial Dem primary for Taveras and Raimondo a real poker game. Who is bluffing about seriously running for Chafee’s current job? And who will blink first?

Now, Angel and Gina, who both enjoy high public ratings, will not only have to face each other if they decide to run, but a sitting governor. Even with Linc’s abysmal poll numbers, it isn’t any politician’s wish to run against an incumbent. And don’t think that if it becomes a three-way race, Chafee’s 36 percent vote total in 2010 will slide too far in 2014, given the high respect his family name holds for many moderate, old-school Yankee voters.

If you need a primer on how threeway races work, give a call to our old pal Buddy “Vincent A.” Cianci. The Bud-I was the master of three-way races when running for mayor of Providence, thanks to a rock-solid base of just over one-third of the population who would vote for him no matter what he did. And he did just about everything you could do to provide a reason for being voted out of office, bless his Jekyll-and-Hyde little heart.

Taveras has some strong supporters among big-time Dem operatives in the state — no small cheese in a party primary.

Raimondo is no slouch either in the influential friends department (including a few on the upper floors at The Urinal), and she has raised as much as one would expect from a financial pro who was a capital investor before getting elected. Her only weak spot so far — besides sending the unions into a state of apoplexy with her pension reform — is her continued coziness with Wall Street.

She can explain how investments made with hedge funders who make huge profits off Vo Dilun taxpayer dough are actually beneficial until she is blue in the face. But a typical Little Rhody resident would invite a Komodo dragon into their living room before a hedge fund manager, and just the idea of Our Gina palling around with their ilk and putting money in their pockets could be enough to seriously hurt her chances.

Linc isn’t laying down his cards yet about an official run to retain his seat, but you know he’s a chalk bet to do so. But with Taveras and Raimondo making no bones about being ambitious pols, someone will indeed have to blink first, knowing that if they come up short, they may have eight years to wait for a second shot at the governor’s office.

Or, they can do us all a favor and both jump in, which will doubtless provide a year’s worth of the political madness and mayhem on which P&J rely and thrive.

Oh, yeah — we don’t think the GOP would mind, either.

f

ItalIan 101

Speaking of the Bud-I, one of the great things about listening to him on WPRO-AM radio

is that you can learn a lot of Italian slang.

If you’re not referring to money as “’scarole,” you’re not listening.

While we have always been partial to the terms “spaccone” (meaning “a loudmouth or braggart”) and “cavone” (a disrespectful person with no class), the Bud-I has also been a booster of the word “brulion,” going so far as to calling the show “the brulion barrier.”

the CIty _By D ER F

It could be that we are spelling this word wrong, but we can’t find the word or its definition on the Internet. The only reference to “brulion” P&J found was a Polish magazine famous a few decades ago with the Warsaw underground for exposing scandals.

We could use a little help here, so if someone can provide us with a reference for (and, perhaps, the proper spelling of) “brulion,” we’d be grateful. And, while

we’re at it, we did find a word that might be worth reviving: “cicciobomba” which translates as “a fat slob.”

GIvInG up the Crown

Anyone who has done a reasonable amount of driving over the years is sure to have one highly tuned skill: the ability to identify a Ford Crown Victoria in the rear view mirror from at least a mile away.

That’s because Rhode Island state troopers have been driving the distinctive Crown Vics for decades, and if you’re stupid enough to not know what they look like, you probably paid a few speeding tickets in your day.

Mark Reynolds did an excellent story in the BeloJo on Sunday about how, since production of the Crown Vic ended with the 2011 model, the staties are now transitioning over to a mix of other Ford models, Chevys, and Dodges. Never mind how this will probably improve things for the troopers in terms of speed, handling, and the addition of more high-tech equipment than a video game arcade inside the vehicle. The problem for motorists is the damn things don’t stand out in traffic.

The only foreseeable hope, pointed out to P&J by a friend who is a former statie, is that any trooper six feet tall or over may have trouble keeping their famed park ranger-style hats on while driving — a requirement that goes back to the days of legendary head of the staties Walter Stone, who would reportedly suspend any trooper for a day without pay if he were ever caught with his hat off in a patrol car.

So look for the hat when you’re on the road, kids. It’s your only chance once the last of the Crown Vics goes to the car compacter.

MusIC tIp of the week

As always, there’s lots of great music happening all over the Biggest Little, but the highlight this week is a rare appearance by the great jazz singer, Kim Marcoux.

Kim spends half of the year in Mexico so she only does about one or two shows a year in these parts. On Sunday, June 9, she will be at the Ocean Mist in Matunuck with a crack band: Artie Cabral on drums, Marty Ballou on bass, Greg Warson on piano, and Arnie Krakowsky on sax. If you’re a jazz fan, you know all those names and will want to get down there to the beach to catch this show. It starts at 3 pm.

Clear as dIrty water

Cock-eyed optimists that P&J are, we gave some people the impression in our item last week about the highly successful Urban Pond Day at Mashapaug Pond that the water there is fine and dandy for swimming and fishing. Organizer Lucia O’Reilly informs us, “The point of the project is that it is NOT safe to swim in the pond or to eat the fish — and that it pollutes the whole Lower Pawtuxet watershed.” So take note. And that’s probably the first time we've been accused of being too positive in our comments. ^

A Vital Voice

Street SightS SendS up a diStreSS flare It could be a bake sale. Or a yard sale. Or a Kickstarter campaign. Or a Mario Hilario story on Channel 10. Or an hour-long show on Rhode Island Public Access to raise awareness. Or a car wash.

“I’m not wearing a bikini, let’s just get that straight.” someone says.

It’s Saturday afternoon at the George Hunt H.E.L.P. Center in downtown Providence and, today, the drop-in depot where local homeless folks can usually pick up shirts, shoes, and mini-bottles of soap and shampoo is dark. In the adjacent room, though, the staff of Street Sights is sitting around a conference table, brainstorming ways for the paper to survive.

Since its March 2007 debut Street Sights — a free, monthly forum offering “accurate and honest information about issues relating to homelessness” — has always run on a tight budget, production manager/creative writing editor Stan Kapelewski says. (“When I first started editing I was homeless and put myself through transitional housing, which finally led me to a nice two-bedroom apartment of my own,” his bio on the paper’s website reads.)

But the staff usually finds ways to crank out issues that announce meal times at local shelters and churches; include articles like “Unnoted Death in Sober House, Questions Unanswered” and “Rotating Shelter System, Gears Up for Cold Weather”; and, in March 2013, feature wallto-wall coverage in memory of homeless advocate John Joyce.

But the paper’s finances have never been quite this dire.

“How much money do we have now?” asks Barbara Kalil, a formerly homeless staff writer who wrote May’s cover story on a big band concert benefitting the Rhode Island Homeless Advocacy Project.

“I’m not exactly sure. I’ve got to wait until Monday to find out again,” Kapelewski says. Last time he checked, they needed abut $300 more to pay for the full run of 2500 copies. He has already pushed production of the issue back a week, but he doesn’t want to axe it, entirely.

Neither does Bill Harter, a staff writer who wrote filed five articles and a poem called “Watch Your Step!” for the May issue.

“Some of these people have subscribed,” he says. “If we cut out an issue or two this year because we haven’t got the money, what are they doing to think next year when it comes time to subscribe again?”

The meeting pushes on and Kapelewski passes out “PLEASE HELP US!!!” flyers to be distributed around town. Later, Harter suggests soliciting ads from local politicos.

“Politicians are always looking to get their name in something-orother,” he says.

The crew is about halfway through their meeting when staff photographer Jordan Montgomery walks through the door. He just spent 11 hours at the free dental clinic at CCRI, he says. He first arrived at 4:45 am.

He went to the clinic to take pictures for the paper, of course, but also to see a dentist himself.

“I thought I had to have some teeth pulled,” he tells the group, “but they said, ‘Keep ’em as long as you can.’ ” He left with a new filling for one tooth and a warning that he’ll eventually need a crown. But, right now, he says, he doesn’t have the extra $700 or $800 that will cost.

“If you had that,” Kalil says, “You could donate it to Street Sights.”

Goruck Challenge

T

he growing popularity of alterna-races (like obstacle course challenges and mud runs) indicates that some of you need an extra push to lace up your sneakers. We get it. Running is just more fun when there are zombies involved! Here, we’ve rounded up some of the more unique running events happening around New England this summer. Prices are for individual participants.

Xtreme Urban 5K

Saturday, June 22 | Bolton Fairgrounds, Lancaster, MA | $80 | wickedmudrun.com

This course boasts more than 20 urban obstacles, such as cargo nets, shopping carts, sand pits, and something called a “School Bus Evacuation.” You remember practicing those in grade school, right?

Urban RAID

Ruckus Boston

Saturday, June 29 | Ocean Gateway Pier, Portland, ME | $65-75 | raidevents.com

Saturday, June 9 | Salem Willows Park, Salem, MA | $55-60 | xtremeurbanrun.com

Mud, monkey bars, and Tarzan-esque rope swings — this obstacle race has it all. At the end, take a moment to proudly observe the course and spectators from the 2.5-story “Mount Ruckmore” before sliding down to the finish line.

Saturday and Sunday, June 15-16 | Marshfield Fairgrounds, Marshfield, MA | $76-90 | runruckus.com

Longest Day 5K

Celebrate the longest day of 2013 with an evening forest trail run starting at 7:15 pm. How bucolic.

Friday, June 21 | Libby Hill Forest, Gray, ME | $10 | libbyhill.org

Wicked Mud Run

Co-founded by a former marine and sports tech guru, the Wicked Mud Run is another obstacle course, this one featuring — shocker — lots and lots of mud.

Founded in 2008 by a Green Beret, this event is less of a race and more of “an 8-10 hour, 15-20 mile guided tour led by a Special Operations Cadre, designed to turn 30 individuals into a team.” This ain’t for the faint of heart, but organizers are proud to boast a 94 percent completion rate.

Friday, August 23 | Providence, RI (start point to be announced closer to the event) | $120-140 | goruck.com

Apocalypse Run

At the first-ever Apocalypse Run, dreamt up by another former marine, participants pay one price and can choose to run a 5, 10, or 15K, all while navigating “never before seen” obstacles and roving “Marauders.”

Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1 | Cheshire State Fair Grounds, Swanzey, NH | $60-75 | runtheapocalypse. com

Designed for “a new breed of cross-training athletes,” the RAID’s 5K course features monkey bars, a chain-link crawl, a sandbag carry, and cargo-net climb, all around downtown Portland.

The Color Run

The first-ever Color Run happened just last year, but it’s brightened many a run. Participants in the untimed 5K wear white and are doused by an (all-natural) color concoction along the race route, resulting in a vibrant (and messy) after-party.

Urban Dare

Part scavenger hunt, part team race, part trivia challenge, the Urban Dare is billed as a “one-day Amazing Race.” Finding all 12 checkpoints usually takes between 2 and 4 hours, with participants covering about 5 to 7 miles of city terrain.

he lazy, the restless, the cheapskates, yuppies, ravers, snobs, and prudes: the magic of the outdoor summer concert ecosystem is that it offers very nearly everyone who doesn’t care about exquisite sound quality a reason to get out of their house or state for a day, evening, or weekend.

Tennessee may have Bonnaroo — the country’s largest and most expansive folk/pop/indie music festival — but it also has Tennessee, and its attendant heatstrokes, sludge puddles, and profound middle-American isolation. A New England summer — temporarily inoculated, by and large, from the crazy-making impacts of global warming — offers a cornucopia of more modest and inherently more pleasurable affairs. From municipal sunset concert series to a smattering of multi-day, campground affairs, this summer’s outdoor music slate is diverse and busy enough that it seemsto be united by nothing but picturesque settings and a reasonable proximity to a refreshing body of water.

Whether three minutes or three hours from your doorstep, what follows is a sampling of some of the season’s most promising offerings. Further details can be found in our listings and on festival websites.

Rhode Island

The country’s smallest state seems to boast its most massive density of impressive summer concerts, most of which occur in postcard-ready Newport. Leading the pack, of course, is the Newport Folk Fest, whose target

demographic manages to get younger by the year without disrupting the event’s storied tradition of excellence.

The three-day (July 26-28) affair boasts sets by Feist, the Mountain Goats, the Avett Brothers, Andrew Bird, Beck, the Lumineers, the heroically deadpan Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Amanda Palmer, and the alternately chilling and rambunctious alt-folk group Phosphorescent. Tickets are available for the 26th, but you’ll have to get creative to get into the Saturday and Sunday shows.

The Newport waterfront boasts plenty more festivals and concerts throughout the summer. The NaNtucket Nectars suNset Music series hosts the B-52s (June 21), Chris Isaak (July 10), B.B. King (July 12), and plenty more.

July 20 brings the Newport Blues aNd BBQ Festival, headlined by the James Cotton Blues Band, while the August 2-4 Newport Jazz Festival features Natalie Cole, Herbie Hancock, and Esperanza Spalding. Genre-hopping continues with an August 10 waterFroNt reggae Festival and the August 24 celtic rock Festival, amped up by the Dropkick Murphys.

With an assist from WBRU, the city of Providence plays host to a free concert series Friday nights in waterFroNt park for six weeks beginning in June. Teenleaning pop-punk act New Politics begin the event on

A multi-day festival that manages to appeal to those normally repelled by the idea is the Wilco-produced and -curated solid souNd Festival, which takes over the wonderful Berkshires campus of MASS MoCA in North Adams from June 21-23. As you might expect, it’s kind of the Park Slope of summer fests: upper-middle-class thirty-something couples toting their toddlers around, organic hot dogs, local beer, acres of innovative art available for your perusal, etc. That said, the event is remarkably pleasant and comfortable, and boasts a particularly excellent roster this year. Neko Case, Yo La Tengo, and Os Mutantes join the hosts in uniting cred and popularity, and other acts like the idiosyncratic folk singer Sam Amidon and the raucous Austin hippie-punk band White Denim are not to be missed.

Museums right in Boston get in on the action as well, with occasional courtyard (Museum of Fine Arts) and Harborside (ICA) events throughout the season. Both offer stellar backdrops for innovative artists: the MFA will be focusing on world music this summer, while the ICA showcases the work of Berklee students from July 12 through August at its free, Thursday evening harBorwalk series. Also right in the city, the Bank of America Pavilion is stocked with concerts catering to the young, artsy crowd: the austere duo XX join orchestral pop standard-bearers grizzly Bear on June 8, while Belle aNd seBastiaN revisit teenage awkwardness July 9 and Beck attempts to maintain his relevancy on August 2. A grander affair rounds out the summer on August 10, as Jay-z and JustiN tiMBerlake bring their winning, nouveau-Rat Pack chic to Fenway Park.

Elsewhere around the state, summer concert series for your to-do lists include a trip to taNglewood. The Lenox institution is best known as a hub for summering classical musicians and prodigies-in-training, but offers a few great pop and jazz shows as well: bassist Esperanza Spalding performs August 4, Spike Lee scorer Terence Blanchard plays with his group June 28, and Grace Potter and Josh Ritter bring their bands to the festival on August 19. In Lowell, BoardiNg house park plays host to a Summer Music Series; choice engagements include dates with Richard Thompson (June 29), Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell (July 18), and the gleefully imitable Michael McDonald (July 13). The “Nashville North” of the country music circuit is Indian Ranch in Webster, and their summer slate includes Dwight Yoakam (June 23), Peter Frampton (June 30), and Pat Benatar (August 24). Among the Bay State’s most impressive multi-day events are the greeN river Festival in Greenfield, which runs July

20-21 and features Gogol Bordello, Brandi Carlile, Todd Snider, hot air balloons, and a whole lot more; and the New BedFord Folk Festival, a July 6-7 oceanside fest with Antje Duvekot, Anais Mitchell, Ellis Paul, and more.

Maine

With its spacious Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion, Bangor has become the unlikely hub for many of Maine’s biggest annual outdoor events. The venue plays host to a series of ticketed evening shows this summer, beginning with Sting’s “Back to Bass” tour on June 20. phish will clog the highways before creating a temporary township on the site July 3, two weeks before acclaimed filmmaker Rob Zombie brings his latest “MayheM Festival” to Maine, with Five Finger Death Punch and critic-favorite metal band Mastodon (among others) in tow. Later, Barenaked Ladies, Ben Folds Five, and Guster make an inevitably futile attempt to be funny or provocative as their “last suMMer oN earth” tour arrives on July 21, just 48 hours before T.I. and Lil Wayne hit town. (Fans of cognitive dissonance may want to stick around for the next day’s performance by Nickelodeon’s prefab pop group Big tiMe rush.) Appealing late-summer engagements include a co-headlining tour by country-pop great MiraNda laMBert and dierks BeNtley on August 2 and an August 30 date with the irrepressible ke$ha. The venue is also home to a few multi-day affairs, the most longstanding of which is the aMericaN Folk Festival, which runs from August 23 to 25, and the fifth annual kahBaNg Festival (August 8-11), Maine’s great white hope for a thriving hipster music festival. The lineups for both festivals will be announced soon.

Elsewhere around the state, blues, folk, and druggy campground affairs rule the calendar. The North atlaNtic Blues Festival returns to the Public Landing in Rockland for the weekend of July 1314, and features the unstoppable Mavis Staples, along with Sugar Ray (not that one) and the Bluetones, and the Holmes Brothers. Rockland also plays host to the MaiNe loBster Festival (July 31-August 4), which offers a rotating cast of local acts and an August 2 performance by the Spin Doctors. Bluegrass fans will hitch their trailers to the campgrounds at the ossipee valley Music Festival in South Hiram from July 25 to 28; that event will feature Marty Stuart and His Band, along with Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins, and dozens of other bands (and the odd flatpicking competition). The town of Starks plays host to a few weekend music festivals explicitly aligned with marijuana legalization efforts; assuming no further

details are needed, you can educate yourself about those events online at mainevocals.net. Lastly, a favorite stop for Maine musicians is one of the longest drives in New England. The arootsakoostik Music Festival goes down in the county on July 13 with the Mallett Brothers, Jacob Augustine, Dead End Armory, and plenty more.

New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut If a jaunt to Funspot or a day of Romneyspotting on Lake Winnipesaukee isn’t temptation enough, New Hampshire’s got a few concert series lined up to lure in the summering crowd. The MeadowBrook pavilioN in Gilford hosts festivalish, day-long events throughout the summer, and the 8000-person venue hosts everyone from the Avett Brothers (June 8) to the Black Crowes and the Tedeschi Trucks Brand (July 27 for that interesting double-bill), and from John Mayer (August 18) to Ke$ha (August 31), the two of whom I hope I’m not alone in wishing were a double-bill. Also lakeside, the great waters Music Festival is ongoing throughout the summer, with a few pops and classical nights, and headlining shows with Cheryl Wheeler (June 28), Jason Spooner (July 26), and Lorrie Morgan (August 16). Right in Portsmouth, the

prescott park river house restauraNt coNcert series is a terrific deal, asking a

pittance of a donation to catch the likes of Justin Townes Earle (July 10), Trombone Shorty (July 26), the Head and the Heart (July 31), and Dar Williams (August 14), among quite a few others.

In the Northwestern reaches of the region, Ben and Jerry’s serves up a few concerts on Shelburne’s museum green; expect big fun and great crowds on June 11, as the maximalist indie anthemists edward sharpe aNd the MagNetic zeros play, and on June 22, with the unimpeachably cool duo of david ByrNe aNd st. viNceNt. Safely distant from the sweltering New York summer, a couple events in Connecticut caught our eye as well. The gatheriNg oF the viBes is one of the more renowned music festivals on the everlasting Deadhead circuit, and will prove its worth from July 25-28 at Seaside Park in Bridgeport. Headliners at the admirably eclectic fest include Phil Lesh and Friends, the Roots, Galactic, and Grace Potter, but be sure to save some energy for late-night DJ sets by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy. Over in New Haven, the iNterNatioNal Festival oF arts aNd ideas (June 15-29) is an important summer pit stop for intellectuals and theatrical and dance performance troupes, but it also offers some terrific free concerts over the fortnight. ^

Shifting lines in the sand In thIs excerpt from snob Zones, the author examInes Watch hIll’s clampdoWn on napatree poInt, WhIch sparked suspIcIons of an Intent to exclude _By Lisa Pre vo s t

A beach at Watch Hill

A

tail-like extension of Rhode Island’s southwestern tip, the spit of sand and gravel known as Napatree Point gracefully curves off toward the horizon, a wide-open pathway into the sea. Its entire mile-and-a-half length is barren of development, save for the century-old ruins of a fort used briefly as a coastal defense lookout.

A hump of grassy dunes runs down Napatree’s middle.

On one side, a broad beach faces the open Atlantic; on the other, a rockier shore forms a protected harbor within Little Narragansett Bay. The view from atop the dunes or from Napatree’s rocky tip takes in a spectacular three-state panorama that grazes the shores of Block Island, Long Island, Fishers Island, and Stonington, Connecticut.

Part of the historic village of Watch Hill, in the town of Westerly, Napatree is both shorebird preserve and public beach. Nature foiled long-ago attempts to civilize its shores. The devastating Hurricane of 1938 wiped out an entire cottage community along Napatree, killing many of its inhabitants. The storm also amputated the farthest reach of Napatree, forming an island known as Sandy Point. Without so much as an ice cream vendor now, the “Naps” is a no-frills idyll as popular with beachcombers as with birds. The peninsula’s long reach into the bay also makes it an anchorage mecca for boaters looking to get to shore. On a sunny summer weekend afternoon, the back side of the spit often resembles a motorboat parking lot.

“You go up and down the shore and there are not many places where you can anchor,” says Fred DeGrooth, a char-

ter captain who has lived in Westerly for about twenty years. “So people anchor in Little Narragansett Bay, take their inflatables to Napatree, and walk to town.”

About 90 percent of Napatree is owned by the Watch Hill Fire District, an unusual quasimunicipal authority chartered in 1901. Fire districts in New England are commonly separate taxing districts that pay for and maintain their own fire departments. The Watch Hill Fire District, however, has additional powers that give it considerable control over valuable real estate within its extremely affluent borders. Under its state-approved charter, this fire district may buy and manage property. In addition to a firehouse, the district owns prime beachfront and precious parking lots in the village’s small commercial strip on Bay Street. The district also owns and runs the Watch Hill public beach, bathhouse, and the antique “Flying Horse” carousel.

If some of its property, like the harborside park on Bay Street and the Watch Hill beach, is accessible to the public, much of it is reserved for and leased to private entities. These include the members-only Watch Hill Yacht Club in the harbor, as well as the yacht club’s beachfront cabanas, and the Misquamicut Beach Club, a shorefront

extension of a highly selective nearby golf club. The self-serving aspect of this arrangement has not gone unnoticed—a state lawmaker once accused the Watch Hill fire district (and two others like it in Westerly) of holding onto beach properties as a means of “exclusion.” Watch Hill residents’ usual response to such criticisms is to wave their sizable property tax bills, a reminder that the high property values in their desirable district are a boon to town coffers.

Surrounded by water on three sides, Watch Hill has served as a summer resort since the nineteenth century, when polite society began coming by steamer to escape the city heat and while away the season in rambling wooden hotels. “The visitors to this place represent annually the choicest class of society,” reported one newspaper correspondent in 1868. Gradually, the wealthy built their own “cottage” colony, laid out by a Cincinnati syndicate whose members were all summer people. They carved a 130-acre farm into house lots and controlled the sales so as to shape a colony where, according to one Watch Hill history, “one could meet only the ‘best’ sort of people.”

Today, newer money, much of it flowing from Wall Street, competes with older, pedigreed wealth. Private homes have replaced the old hotels, though some of the “cottages” are of nearly hotel-size proportions.

Visitors of lesser means have long found Napatree Point to be one of the more accessible features of beautiful Watch Hill. Gaining admission to the peninsula’s beach has simply demanded that you are able to get there. On foot, that means walking through a public parking lot off Bay Street and then around the private beach club’s fenced parking lot to the Naps’s narrow pedestrian entry path.

In the summer of 2007, however, the policy of unhindered access to the point suddenly began to change. First, a big green sign appeared at the trail entrance. Use of the point is “permissive,” the sign said, “but permission may be withdrawn at any time for any purpose.” Visitors were advised that they could not bring in beverages, not even bottled water. Nor could they bring their dogs, unless it was early morning or after 6 pm, and then only on leashes. This came as a rude surprise to dog owners. A town ordinance similarly prohibited dogs on public beaches, but the rule had never been enforced on Napatree.

A gate went up — not locked, but off-putting nonetheless. Hired wardens began patrolling the dunes, watching for violators. Then smaller signs, dozens of them, popped up in the grass warning visitors of the importance of dune protection and the hazards of ticks. Ropes were strung across the many pathways over the dunes.

Napatree, it turned out, was now a threatened-species zone. The Watch Hill Fire District, along with another Napatree parcel owner, the privately funded Watch Hill Conservancy, had signed agreements with the US Fish and Wildlife Service authorizing the agency to manage the federally protected piping plovers and least terns common to the point. Fish and Wildlife’s role was to rope off and monitor areas where plovers were nesting in the sand. The fire district and conservancy had taken it upon themselves to hire the wardens and put up signs.

This new arrangement was necessary, the groups said, in order to protect Napatree from overuse. Conservancy

Ch

and studios’ zeal to quench it. To illustrate the point, he shared an anecdote about being seated next to a “white guy in his mid-30s” on cross-country flight.

The seatmate opens his iPad. Curious to see what he’s watching (and perhaps hopeful it would be Magic Mike or Contagion), the auteur finds that his seatmate’s iPad has “loaded in half a dozen action sort of extravaganzas and he’s watching each of the action sequences; he’s skipping over the dialogue and narrative.”

“This guy’s flight is going to be five and a half hours of just mayhem porn,” Soderbergh said.

If you’re like Soderbergh’s neighbor, this summer’s lineup will not disappoint.

But a notable underlying theme among this year’s summer crop is that, while Earth is being destroyed, the villains are not an external alien threat. We, ordinary citizens of Earth, are the cause of our own demise. But that doesn’t mean that we won’t revel in our own undoing.

You can always count on director Roland Emmerich to provide images of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in various stages of distress, like getting blown up by an alien spaceship in his 1996 Independence Day. This summer, Roland and Co. are back in DC with White House Down (June 28). But unlike its extraterrestrial predecessor, White House Down stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx fighting against good ol’ human terrorism. Emmerich suggests, with Abraham Lincoln’s ominous epigraph “we destroyed ourselves,” that America’s demise comes from within.

Summer isn’t summer without Johnny Depp in eyeliner. Having directed Depp

in all of the Pirates of the Caribbean films and as the voice of the hapless desert lizard Rango, Gore Verbinski works again with his muse in The Lone Ranger (July 3). But within the great unfurling of a Disney Western, a strident tone of distrust of authority reigns. In the Old West, power is concentrated into the hands of a few men who “control the railroad, the cavalry, everything,” laments Lone Ranger Armie Hammer. “If these men represent the law, I’d rather be an outlaw.”

Grown men who wear masks and work outside of grown-up rules aren’t just a fixation the summer action-thriller set. In comedies, too, themes of regression and shunning the bummer adult world abound. And no duo better recede back into their fraternity days than Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in The Internship (June 7). With their company closing, Vaughn and Wilson do the only logical thing: score an internship at Google. It’s hard not to imagine that in a few years the storied technological amenities of the Googleplex — ping-pong table, burrito buffets, cars that drive themselves — will look as kitschily retro as the keypad door entry in 1992’s computer heist Sneakers.

In Grown Ups 2 (July 11) — which should be subtitled “Not Grown Up Yet!” — crack team Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Kevin James are simultaneously thrilled and confounded by the adolescents they seek to emulate. What’s up with those Situation-like abs on the younger bucks?

As with the first Grown Ups installment, wives are still nags and offspring still re-

quire too much attention. But this time a moose urinates on Sandler. Who wants to grow up in a world where the bodily functions of large mammals are not the source of hilarity?

Man-children are not the only characters regressing back into petulant teens.

In director Shari Springer Berman’s first feature film Girl Most Likely (July 19), Kristen Wiig’s Imogene has a meltdown and must be returned to the care of her narcissistic hot mess party mom played by the indomitable Annette Bening. But moving back home does not preclude romance; mom has hired out a room to a hunky tenant (Darren Criss), and Wiig must determine (in her glorious Lucille Ball-style physical comedy) if parental proximity will dampen the flame.

Perhaps in response to the trends in filmmaking that Soderbergh discussed, auteur indie directors are lightening up their summer stock. Taking a notable departure from her atmospheric and minimal dialogue films, Sofia Coppola’s

the internship

The Bling Ring (June 14) is based on the real events of a group of LA teens who, using social media to track their marks’ whereabouts, raided the homes of Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton for handbags and Louboutins. With a fun Spring Breakers bad girl aspect, Emma Watson leads the unlikely robbers in this frothy caper.

But the standout indie film of the summer may have already been released.

Noah Baumbach co-wrote Frances Ha with the film’s star Greta Gerwig, who previously played an ebullient foil to the caustic Ben Stiller in Baumbach’s last film, Greenberg. Shot in black-and-white like Woody Allen’s Manhattan and free of romcom sentimentality, Frances Ha is a tribute to female friendship and shucking away layers of youthful narcissism. Baumbach’s latest is the antidote to the other comedies’ backward progress, and it’ll be Gerwig’s calling card for years to come.

It’s one of the only films this summer in which growing up doesn’t seem less likely than mutant spaceships blowing up the White House. ^

The lo-down on froyo Weighing the existential question of the summer _By P h il iP E il

B

y the time you finish reading this article, another froyo lounge may have opened in Rhode Island.

“What’s a froyo lounge?” you say.

You could start by asking the nearest teenager, who probably still has gummy bears and half-melted “Cake Batter” yogurt stuck in their braces from the last visit.

Or you could cruise around the state with an eye for those brightly lit parlors with neon-painted walls; rows of metal-armed machines awaiting customers’ sweaty palms; plastic trays overflowing with sprinkles, cookie bits, candy corn, and diced strawberries; and a cashier’s counter that looks like a miniature highway weigh station.

To put the trend in perspective: Lincoln, Rhode Island has two froyo lounges within half a mile of each other.

In a span of six months during 2012, the Oklahoma-based franchise Orange Leaf (“American’s Frozen Yogurt™”) opened storefronts in Newport, Kingston, Warwick, and East Greenwich, with two more in Cranston and Westerly opening soon, according to their website.

Meanwhile, rumors on Hope Street in Bristol and Wickenden Street in Providence indicate that two more froyo lounges are on their way.

We at the Phoenix are conflicted about this. On one hand the chilled, colorful goop that pours out of those machines is damn addictive, as the name of Narragansett’s “Froyo Fix” lounge seems to acknowledge. This, combined with the chance to dispense as much as we want and top it with cookie dough balls, banana slices, snow caps, and Reese’s Pieces . . . well, it’s our inner chubby kid’s fantasy come to life.

On the other hand, every time we eat at a Yo-Mix or a Fruitzzy, we feel like we’re cheating on our old standby ice cream joints.

To froyo or not to froyo?

This is the existential question of the summer. And we’re here to help you think it through.

Pro froyo

Face it: froyo lounges are the future. The surfaces are shiny. The blinking screens on the wall play Pixar movies or announce the day’s flavors. The speakers play the newest, bounciest, synth-inflected, Auto-Tuned pop. And the toppings include glistening orange globules called “Boba poppers.” This ain’t no science fiction novel. This is dessert in 2013.

Plus, froyo lounges are healthy — sort of. We don’t exactly take FroyoWorld literally when they say their product is connected to “a healthier lifestyle that enhances your body and beauty.” But their bevy of low-fat options and toppings like granola and almonds are hard to deny. Even if we do slather our froyo towers with Nilla wafers and chocolate syrup, the chilled air and polished tiles of these places makes us at least feel fitter. And the self-serve model (ingeniously) places the guilt squarely on us, not the store. In a froyo lounge, your health is in your hands.

Speaking of self-serve, what’s more American than choosing your own adventure? This is dessert of the people, by the people, and for the people — just like Honest Abe would have ordered it. You want to top that salted caramel pretzel-flavored froyo with more caramel and more pretzels? You want to fill your cup with a dollop of yogurt topped with a mountain of gummy worms and

coconut shavings? That’s your inalienable right, as long as you can foot the $0.49 per ounce tab.

God bless America.

No froyo

The much-touted healthiness of froyo lounges, is, of course, a mirage. “[When] the eater’s head is saying ‘this is healthy,’ it could lead to more being consumed,” Dr. Mary Flynn, a nutrition expert from Brown Medical School and Miriam Hospital tells us.

And it’s not just words like “fresh” and “probiotic “ that keep us eating more; it’s the yogurt itself. Fat makes us feel full, Dr. Flynn says. Without it, you’re chasing a satisfaction that low-fat froyo can never give, and tossing back hundreds of calories as you go.

Plus, these joints don’t seem to be the place for homemade, locally sourced ingredients. Look up the ingredients for FroyoWorld’s “Cake Batter” online and you’ll find “turmeric,” “distilled monoglycerides,” “cellulose gum,” “pectin,” “carrageenan,” and “modified food starch.” The list of ingredients has parentheses within parentheses — something you never want to see on a food label (One ice cream shop owner

described new-wave froyo to us as “Cocoa Puffs on top of chemicals.”)

And do we really want stores that feel like the spawn of a space station and an American Idol set? Gone is the salt air of Matunuck’s Vanilla Bean. Gone are the picnic tables, trees, and grassy patches from Gray’s in Tiverton.

At a froyo lounge, you have a mirror pane that slides open in front of you as you’re scooping up blueberries at the toppings station, then a disembodied arm reaches out to refill a container of chocolate chips or wipe a dollop of errant froyo off a counter, then the arm disappears and the mirror slides back into place. Is this utopia or dystopia?

Give us scuffed surfaces, give us Sam Cooke singing “Tennessee Waltz” on the stereo, give us a pile of old board games in the corner — all of which can be found at Three Sisters in Providence. Give us good ol’ Del’s lemonade where, when we called the Cranston headquarters to ask about froyo, someone told us, “I have no idea about frozen yogurt whatsoever. Nor do I like it. Nor do I care about it.” Give us the Sunshine Creamery on Roger Williams Avenue in East Providence, where we can dive into a heaping pile of peppermint ice cream alongside leathervested bikers and squealing kids playing tag.

And when we’re hankering for a sip of water at, say, Cool Licks Creamery in North Providence (which feels like it’s been there since the dawn of time), after our mouths are full of waffle cone and peanut butter cups and frozen cherries, we don’t walk to buy a bottled water.

We want to walk over to the on-site water fountain — known around here as the “bubblah” — for a long, refreshing slurp.

When was the last time you saw a “bubblah” in a froyo lounge? ^

Our colleague Nicholas Schroeder reports: Haunting is a term that gets thrown around folk artists a lot, but it truly applies to the music of DiAne cluck, whose sparse compositions seem to float defiantly from some fortress the conscious self had long left behind. Cluck plays her songs on piano or guitar, but it’s her voice, often layered in a chorus of three or four, that makes the mark on listeners. On her best songs its wail can surpass the meaning of the words it’s singing. She plays the Columbus Theatre, 270 Broadway, Providence, with locals Omnivore at 9 pm | $10 | columbustheatre.com

In “Flushing the System,” s.W. Dinge fills his canvases with marks from graphite, conte crayon, china marker, colored pencil, wax, and other elements. “In general, I try not to prescribe to the notion of a strict concept when it comes to abstract work,” he says. “The idea that there could be multiple angles of interpretation intrigues me.

All I can do as the artist is offer up my angle.” He elaborates, “As I worked on these pieces, I began to see them as a representation of the creative process itself.” Which explains the exhibit’s title.

It’s at the Yellow Peril Gallery,

“Breaking Even,” the new exhibit by kelli rAe ADAms, is an installation which combines several thousand handmade clay and ceramic objects with several hundred jars of local produce canned by the artist. What’s the deal? Adams says the show “is an installation in three parts which together compose a balanced equation of alternate currencies resulting from five months of creative labor. Larger-than-life dominoes, home-canned foods, and porcelain coins represent the work, the energy required to produce the work, and the funds invested in the work, respectively.

Through these three currencies, the installation offers a means of comparison by which visitors can consider what constitutes value and exchange in artwork and artistic production.” The show opens today at the Cohen Gallery at the Granoff Center for the Creative Arts, 154 Angell St, Providence, through July 19 (an opening reception is on the 7th at 5:30 pm) | 401.863.2932 | brown.edu/campus-life/ arts/bell-gallery/

ottmAr liebert found his calling early. He recently told the Montgomery News, “I was 19 and traveling in Asia, with my guitar, of course, when I realized that I wanted to be a professional musician.

Sharing music with other travelers and with locals was inspiring. Also, the feeling of communicating with people through music, even when I am unable to speak their language.” The flamenco master has become remarkably eloquent in the universal language of rhythm and melody.

“For me, music is a journey, a process, not something that can be arrived at or mastered.

There is always more to learn.

Music is a bottomless container that can never be filled.”

Liebert and his group, Luna Negra, will perform at the Narrows Center For the Arts, 16 Anawan St, Fall River, MA, at 8 pm | $45 advance, $50 day of show | 508.324.1926 | narrowscenter.org

Curtain. These buildings came to be called “Brutalist,” seemingly from the French “brut,” as in “raw.” The name describes both their vast expanses of bare concrete as well as their often severe forms.

When Viera Levitt became gallery director at Community College of Rhode Island in 2009, she was struck by the Brutalist architecture of its Knight Campus.

“There’s this building that people love to hate,” the Wakefield resident tells me. “It’s a big concrete so-called mega-structure, this giant concrete elephant on the top of the hill in Warwick. And Rhode Island doesn’t have any hills so this is very monumental . . . I thought it’s so fascinating and so bold and so unusual. Warwick doesn’t strike me as a particularly bold community to build these unusual structures. You would need to have a vision to build something like that.”

To puzzle out the impulse behind this architecture, Levitt began photographing Brutalist buildings — the focus of her exhibit “Brutally Sweet” at AS220’s Project Space (93 Mathewson St, Providence, through June 29) — and organized a 2011 group exhibition about it at CCRI, “We Talk About Architecture, Architecture Talks Back.”

Levitt’s photos of CCRI; the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth (where she became gallery director last year); Boston City Hall; the Pirelli Tire Building in New Haven, Connecticut; Yale School of Art and Architecture in New Haven; and the House of Culture in her native Trnava, Slovakia, highlight details of the buildings, their rugged surfaces, their abstract geometries.

“Brutalist buildings are sculptural, like made with clay. You can sort of sense as if somebody was making the model with their hands sometimes,” Levitt says. “For me, to look for the elements which are actually really beautiful and geometrical and kind of sensitive, it’s a really interesting task.”

Rather than concrete being just another thing to build with, concrete defines these buildings. At its best, Brutalist structures achieve a sublime monumentality. But the style has never been much loved by the public. And the designers didn’t embrace the label. “Brutalism” became attached to this architecture as a sort of insult — it can produce gargantuan, alienating spaces.

But at CCRI, Levitt says, “It was utopian in the sense that they were thinking about connecting different vocations. The architecture pushes you to meet other voca-

Or are forced to talk to other people because you meet them there. You cannot run on those stairs. There’s a lot of stuff the architecture does that is kind of enabling some kind of communication, or some kind of egalitarian vision of the society or these educational institutions that on the other hand do look like factories for education with all this imposing grayness that swallows students and spits them out.”

Levitt notes, “A lot of times what you see now is not what they wanted to do. That was my biggest surprise at CCRI. The intention was different. There was so much more light. There was so much more color.”

But colors were lost when worn carpets were replaced with duller versions. Light disappeared when precious space was divided up to squeeze in more classrooms. “So all of a sudden there’s this dark environment that people are complaining about,” Levitt says. “[The] UMass Dartmouth library got renovated and they brought all the original colors back. And it’s amazing — purples and oranges and reds, quite beautiful.

“You know when you see an ugly dog and you go, ‘Oh my God, that dog is so ugly. That is really lovely. Oh my God, he’s so cute,’ ” she says. “He’s like a pug with that nose. For me, it’s a little like that. The more imposing the better . . . It’s so insensitive to its environment, I love it.

But I see why people can hate them. It is really hard to connect with them. You do feel small walking around, and lost. You do actually get lost physically many times there and have to ask for directions.” ^

drama of justice delayed written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen.

A collaboration by 2nd Story Theatre and Mixed Magic Theatre brings it to the Bristol Courthouse (through June 30). No director credit is given, except for Ed Shea and Jonathan Pitts-Wiley being listed as artistic directors of the respective theaters.

In a brisk, to-the-point 80 minutes, we learn how six death row inmates narrowly escaped the electric chair or lethal injection, in overlapping stories based on actual occurrences.

They are a varied lot. Gary Gauger (Tom Chace) was convicted of killing his mother and father in an Illinois trailer park. Kerry Max Cook (Joe Henderson) was convicted of murdering a Texas neighbor.

Robert Earl Hayes (Amos Hamrick, Jr.) was a black worker at a Florida racetrack who was convicted of murdering a white woman there. Also black and convicted in Florida, Delbert Tibbs (Ricardo Pitts-Wiley) was accused of raping a white woman after killing her boyfriend, despite no evidence that he had been at the crime scene.

David Keaton (Edward V. Crews) was convicted of murdering a Florida police officer. Sonia “Sunny” Jacobs (Joanne Fayan), was convicted along with her common law ex-con husband and his prison pal of killing a Florida state trooper and a police officer visiting from Canada. (Some audience members gasped at mention that a 1979 confession by someone else did not lead to her release until 1992.)

Their stories are aided by various incidental characters, played by MJ Daly, Emily Lewis, Brendan Macera, and Alex Duckworth.

The police certainly have a lot of tools at their disposal, if they choose to use them, to keep a suspect behind bars. They can lie, while stressing to the accused that they can’t be lying because they would lose their jobs for doing so. They can threaten and even torture, psychologically and physically, to wring a confession out of a suspect, whether they think he did it or they just want to boost their conviction rate.

As we see on TV crime shows, cops know who a lot of the bad guys are as they wait around hoping to nab them in the act. As a mischievous 18-year-old, Cook stole the car of a deputy sheriff, who forever after suspected him of unsolved petty crimes. In the murder case, his public defender was a former prosecutor who had tried to convict him on two previous occasions. So it INNOCENT? Pitts-Wiley (foreground) and Henderson. was not surprising that his r ic H a r d W . d i o nn e , j r .

lawyer didn’t object to the judge allowing the prosecutor to continually refer to Cook’s fingerprint at the crime scene as having been left at the time of the murder, which was impossible to determine.

These victims may be innocent without being innocents. Tibbs, for example, was exonerated two years after his conviction but spent three more years in prison for a crime he did commit. Jacobs was not exonerated after spending 17 years in prison but rather had her sentence commuted to time served after pleading to seconddegree murder. Hayes was innocent of killing the white woman he was dating, but 10 years after his release he pled guilty to manslaughter in a rape-murder. Nevertheless, confining justice to the morally worthy is like restricting food stamps to the deserving poor.

These days we know from DNA-based exonerations that many a confession of murder is the result of sleep deprivation and other tricks, such as getting the accused to hypothesize a murderer scenario and then treating that as a confession.

That was how they got Gauger, by having him describe how he would have killed his parents (provided with details that only the killer would know) during a blackout he didn’t remember. Clever. Prosecutors can, in effect, murder with impunity and legality: for a year, Gauger’s prosecutor fought to exclude a wiretapped admission by someone else to the murder he was accused of. Evil.

No, don’t get arrested for murder, in Florida or elsewhere. The writers of this multifaceted docudrama trust that you already know that, but they want you to remember for the benefit of others you may read about in headlines. So that you don’t rush into hasty conclusions. ^

Rhode Island Hospital is conducting a research study to determine if an injectable opiate-blocking medication called Naltrexone helps opioid dependent persons who are involved with the criminal justice system remain drug-free.

Because of Naltrexone’s complete blocking action, it does not cause euphoria or mood alteration and if you stop taking it you do not have to go through withdrawal symptoms.

STORIES WE TELL

There’s a great comedy to be made about someone who spends tens of thousands of dollars on a world-class education, runs himself into debt for decades, and winds up doing jerk work for no pay at some rich corporation. While we’re waiting for that movie, there’s always this Vince VaughnOwen Wilson vehicle, in which a couple of watch salesmen lose their jobs and manage to win themselves internships at Google.

Wedding Crashers it’s not, but the stars still make an agreeable pair, schooling their young colleagues on how to get blasted at a strip club and, in return, learning what HTML is. Shawn Levy directed; with Rose Byrne, John Goodman, Aasif Mandvi, and Max Minghella.

_J.R. Jones

For years Sarah Polley was teased by older siblings about her lack of resemblance to her dad, but only in her late 20s did she learn that her mother — actress Diane Polley, who died in 1990 — had conceived her during an extramarital affair with a producer named Harry Gulkin.

To reconstruct this family scandal, Sarah interviews family members, her mother’s friends, and her biological father; they paint an unhappy portrait of Diane, a vibrant, charismatic woman who felt unloved by her diffident husband and who agonized over whether to terminate her late pregnancy by another man.

Sarah might have wrapped up this documentary after her parentage is revealed about 70 minutes in, yet it continues for another 50 as she ruminates over the tale and ponders some of the discrepancies in different versions, her engrossing personal story gradually devolving into an exercise in self-regard.

cApSule RevIeWS XXX FAST & FURIOUS 6 | 2013

| In this sixth installment of the action franchise, the auto-racing roughnecks (Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez) team up with a federal agent (Dwayne Johnson) to hunt down an international terrorist. Director Justin Lin, who took over the series with the third release, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), manages to imbue the material with Hawksian notions of masculinity, group dynamics, and moral authority even as he preserves the franchise’s multicultural milieu and gleefully exaggerated action sequences. Tying up some story lines while introducing others, this has the feel of a B-movie series from the ’40s, like the Boston Blackie or Charlie Chan programmers.

XXW FRANCES HA | 2013 | Comparable to Woody Allen’s imitations of Bergman and Fellini, this black-andwhite comedy by Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, Greenberg) is basically an extended homage to early-’60s French New Wave films.

Greta Gerwig, who cowrote the script with Baumbach, plays a sprightly apprentice for a ballet company who drifts from one apartment to another, looking unsuccessfully for love. The dialogue and editing are

zippy and generally charming, combining with the tart observations of 20-something culture to create a nice frisson. (This may be the least acrid movie Baumbach had ever made, despite its underlying theme that growing up means learning to accept chronic disappointment.) Yet most of the energizing formal ideas are taken from other movies; the creative nadir may be when Baumbach uses Georges Delerue’s iconic theme from Jules and Jim as a shortcut to pathos. | 86m |

XW NOW YOU SEE ME | 2013 | Jesse

Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco are strutting stage illusionists who launch a Vegas act, called the Four Horsemen, in which they rip off banks and other financial institutions and shower the money on their deliriously happy audience members.

(Can’t they just reduce the ticket price?) This is one of those mystery thrillers that are supposed to culminate in a big shocker ending, though the script piles up so many implausibilities that by the time the ending arrives, nothing is surprising anymore. Harrelson and Eisenberg are insufferably smug as they fire off brutal put-downs of each other and

rumpled police detective Mark Ruffalo; rounding out the cast are Melanie Laurent and titans-for-hire Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine. Louis Leterrier (Clash of the Titans) directed a script by Ed Solomon (Charlie’s Angels), Boaz Yakin (Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights), and Edward Ricourt. | 116m |

XXXW WHAT MAISIE KNEW |

2012 | Selfishness and cruelty never go out of style, which might explain why this millennial update of Henry James’s 1897 novel works so well.

Screenwriters Nancy Doyne and Carroll Cartwright have turned the novel’s divorced couple into a glib, angry British art dealer (Steve Coogan) and a fading, insecure New York rocker (Julianne Moore), though the central character is still their little daughter, Maisie (Onata Aprile), whom they coldly neglect until one of them wants to use her to screw the other.

When each of them remarries, Maisie is treated with greater tenderness by their respective spouses (Joanna Vanderham and Alexander Skarsgard), but these three innocents are only pawns to the spoiled and willful parents. Time has hardly dulled the edge of James’s angry moralism. Scott McGehee and David Siegel directed. | 98m |

Moon signs If a job or relationship comes to an end this weekend, you’re in tune with the moon. The good news is that with the Sun in talkative Gemini, making new connections comes more easily than usual. We’re having a confluence in Gemini: Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are there too. All those born May 23 to June 21 or so should be having major, monumental career advancement and personal-life satisfaction. For the other 11 signs, tell it, write it, keep it short.

Waning moon in taurus, moon void-ofcourse until 11:32 pm when it moves into Gemini. From now until Saturday’s new moon, decisions made are likely to stick (except for the “last minute desperate ploy”) late on Friday.

Great day for gardening, or fixing finances, particularly for taurus, virgo, capricorn, Gemini, and Aries. Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius: are you touchy? Grouchy? You’re in tune with the moon.

Libra, Sagittarius, pisces, and cancer: if you find a bargain (antique, jewelry, luxury good) buy it.

dark of the moon in taurus, moon voidof-course 9:02 a.m. until 6:06 p.m. An all-day void-of-course moon could prompt errors in banking and security issues. Where are the car keys? Wait until tomorrow for new projects, and don’t be stupidly stubborn in matters that don’t matter. this means you, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Warning to taurus, capricorn, virgo, pisces, and cancer: others may need to le-e-ean on you. don’t step away and let them drop. Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius, and Aries: slow down.

new moon in Gemini. Yack, yack, yack!!

A moon which brings out the “Why don’t we — ” or “What about trying — ?” impulse in everyone. caution for virgo, pisces, and Sagittarius who may have misunderstandings arise over trivia (“i don’t like how you said that”). capricorn, taurus, Leo, and Scorpio could sign up for more than they’d planned.

Aquarius, Gemini, Libra, and cancer may have “information overload” in the form of shallow encounters.

Waxing moon in cancer, moon voidof-course 5:15 pm until Wednesday, June 12, 12:58 am. that is a crazy-long voc moon. plans may unravel, but use monday and tuesday to shake up your life in a good way. Sagittarius, Leo, Gemini, and virgo: be open to the vagaries of the universe. And with cancer moons, coziness prevails, particularly cancer, Scorpio, pisces, and taurus. capricorn, Libra, Aries, and Aquarius: Are you over-reacting? do you need to respond right now? the moon’s position is sucking rationality out of your head.

Waxing moon in Leo. the past two days could have been a “Soma holiday” for some (blissed-out trip from Brave new World). my two cents’ is that Leo, Aries, Sagittarius, and Gemini hit the ground running. Advertising, and children’s activities are favored, and Libra, Aquarius, taurus, and Scorpio want to make big changes, and don’t mind raising their voice. Scorpio, pisces, cancer, and capricorn: make a point of being generous for no reason. Yes, it’s okay to advertise this.

this horoscope traces the passage of the moon, not the sun. Simply read from day to day to watch the moon’s influence as it moves through the signs of the zodiac. | 10 11 14 15 16 When the moon is in12your sun13 sign, you are beginning a new 28-day emotional cycle, and you can expect increased insight and emotionality. When the moon 26 28 29 30 (see below), 31 32 moves into27the sun sign opposite yours expect to have difficulties dealing with the opposite sex, family, or authority figures; social or romantic activities will not be at their best. | When the moon is in Aries, it opposes Libra, and vice versa. other oppositions are taurus/Scorpio, Gemini/Sagittarius, cancer/capricorn, Leo/Aquarius, and virgo/pisces. the moon stays in each sign approximately two and a half days. | As the moon moves between signs, it will sometimes become “void of course,” making no major angles to planets. consider this a null time and try to avoid making or implementing decisions if you can. But it’s great for brainstorming. | For Symboline dai’s sun-sign horoscopes and advice column, visit our Web site at thephoenix.com.

Waxing moon in Gemini, moon void-ofcourse 4:29 am until 12:16 pm when it moves into cancer. Writing and cooking, talking and eating: stick to the simple stuff and you’ll be okay. Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, and Leo could be eager to meet new folks, while capricorn, taurus, Scorpio, and cancer prefer solitude or social stability (don’t bring your Boratesque buddy to their house for coffee). virgo, pisces, Sagittarius, and Aries are in a risk-taking mode, or attracted to those who gossip.

capricorn, Libra, Aries, and Sagittarius.

You could be overwhelmed by the extremes of your reaction. cancer, pisces, Leo, and Scorpio: it’s summer — do you have comfortable clothes? Add an item to your life that makes things easier. taurus, virgo, Aquarius, and Gemini: you may need to listen to others more than you want to.
