Letter from the editor
O
h, its been far too long
since Ive written about
one of the delightful
spam e-mails I get on a daily
basis.
This one, however, was too
good to pass up, so here it is
verbatim, and please know that
a Spanish version was also
included at the bottom:
Hello,
With urgency in search of a
worker of the store and a
worker in charge of the store
who is reliable and has a
Gods fear in the mind. If you
can work with us Royal Mer-
chandize to return to me in
this e-mail, you will receive
400 euros per week.
To consider, kindly let get in
touch back to me through my
mailed address at (harrison-
clarson@hotmail.com).
Best regards,
Harrison Clarson.
Oh, where do I even begin?
I dont know much about eu-
ros or its cash equivalent to
the dollar, but a quick Google
search said it was roughly
$530. Yes, Ill receive that
each week, but youll take my
life savings. No, thanks, Harri-
son Carlson, you shyster.
Now, on to this weeks is-
sue, which is full of upcoming
local fun and games that in-
cludes, but isnt limited to,
Electric City Restaurant Week
(which I am looking very,
very forward to and which
you can read all about on pgs.
16-17), the Rhythm of the
Region II exhibit thatll kick
off this weekend at The Vin-
tage Theater as part of First
Friday Scranton (p. 30), plus
find out how you can vote for
your favorite tattoo from the
month of April (p. 38) and
meet the couples in the Battle
of the Sexes contest this here
paper is cosponsoring (p. 45).
As you probably can tell
from my profile picture to the
left, Ive been waiting for
The Avengers to come out
pretty much since I found out
it was in production. Im so
excited the wait is now over
this week, so what else can I
say but Avengers assemble!
and thanks for reading, of
course!

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
CANTPOSSIBLYBETRUE
-- Dan OLeary, the city manag-
er of Keller, Tex. (pop. 27,000),
faced with severe budget prob-
lems, was unable to avoid the sad
job of handing out pink slips. For
instance, he determined that one
of Kellers three city managers
had to go, and in April, he laid
himself off. According to a March
Fort Worth Star-Telegramreport,
OLeary neither intended to retire
nor had other offers pending, and
he had aroused no negative suspi-
cions as to motive. He simply
realized the city could be man-
aged more cost-effectively by the
two lower-paid officials.
-- Herman Wallace, 70, and
Albert Woodfox, 65, have been
held in solitary confinement (only
one hour a day outside) since1972
in the Louisiana State Prison at
Angola, after being convicted (via
flimsy evidence and a convenient
prison snitch) of killing a guard. A
third convict for the murder, Rob-
ert King, who was in solitary for
29 years but then released, ex-
plained to BBCNews in an April
dispatch what its like to live in-
side 54 square feet for 23 hours a
day, for more than14,000 straight
days. The lawyer working to free
Wallace and Woodfox said the
soul-deadened men were potted
plants.
THATSACRED
INSTITUTION
(1) Afederal court magistrate in
Melbourne, Australia, decided to
split a divorcing couples assets in
half in February after listening to
tedious details of their 20-year
marriage. The couple lived
apart except for vacations and
kept their finances separate, con-
stantly invoice(ing) each other,
according to the Daily Telegraph,
for amounts as trifling as a $1.60
lightbulb. (2) Though many
Americans act as though they are
in love with themselves, only
Nadine Schweigert became an
honest woman. She married her-
self in March in front of 45 family
members and friends in Fargo,
N.D., vowing to enjoy inhabiting
my own life and to relish a life-
long love affair with my beautiful
self. And then she was off on a
solo honeymoon.
UNCLEARONTHE
CONCEPT
-- In January, Ms. Navey Skin-
ner, 34, was charged with robbing
the Chase Bank in Arlington,
Wash., after passing a teller a note
that read, Put the money in the
bag nowor (d)ie. According to
investigators, Skinner subse-
quently told themshe had been
thinking about robbing a bank and
then, while inside the Chase
Bank, accidentally robbed it.
-- Emanuel Kuvakos, 56, was
arrested in April and charged with
sending two Chicago sports-team
executives e-mails that threatened
themwith violence for having
stolen his ideas for winning
championships. One of the
victims was a former general
manager of the Chicago Cubs, a
teamthat famously has not won a
National League championship in
66 years, nor a World Series in
103.
FINEPOINTSOFTHELAW
-- Finally, a nationally promi-
nent judge has taken on prison
nutriloaf as a constitutional
issue. In March, U.S. Appeals
Court Judge Richard Posner
reinstated a dismissed lawsuit by a
Milwaukee County Jail inmate
who claimed that the mystery
meat gave himan anal fissure.
Posner wrote that the lower courts
needed to rule on whether the
food of indeterminate content is
cruel and unusual punishment,
since (citing a Wikipedia entry)
an anal fissure seems no fun at
all.
-- Gay Rights in Limbo: (1) The
Missouri House of Representa-
tives, after several times rejecting
sexual orientation as one of the
legally prohibited categories of
discrimination, managed to find
another category in March (to join
race, religion and so forth)
that is deserving of special protec-
tion: Licensed concealed-weap-
ons carriers. (2) The Kansas Su-
preme Court ruled in April that
Joshua Coman, convicted of
having sex with a dog, does not
have to register as a sex offender.
Activists had urged that the sodo-
my lawon which Coman was
convicted be declared unconstitu-
tional, since it appears to equate
human-animal sex with man-man
and woman-woman sex. However,
the Court declined, instead noting
that Coman had been convicted of
a misdemeanor and that only
felons are required to register.
LEASTCOMPETENT
CRIMINALS
Amateur Hour: (1) CVS super-
visor Fenton Graham, 35, of Sil-
ver Spring, Md., was arrested as
the inside man (with two ac-
complices) in two drugstore rob-
beries in April. Surveillance video
showed that in the second heist,
the nervous perp evidently failed
to take the money with him, and
Graham(the victim) was seen
taking it out to his forgetful part-
ner. (2) Kyle Voss, 24, was
charged with four burglaries in
Great Falls, Mont., in April after
coming upon a private residence
containing buckets of coins. Ac-
cording to police, Voss first took
the quarters and half-dollars
($3,000), then days later he re-
turned for $700 in dimes and
nickels. By the third break-in, the
resident had installed surveillance
video, and Voss was caught as he
came back for a bucket of pen-
nies. W
For more info, visit
NewsoftheWeird.blogspot.com.
Federal court documents revealed in March that AWOL Army Pvt. Bran-
don Price, 28, had convinced Citibank in January that he spoke for Mi-
crosoft co-founder Paul Allen (one of the worlds richest men) and con-
vinced the bank to issue Allen (i.e., Price) a new debit card and to
change Allens address from Seattle to Prices address in Pittsburgh.
Price/Allen shopped decidedly downscale, running up charges only at
Gamestop and Family Dollar, totaling less than $1,000.

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
D
igital Rights Management
DRM has long been
the bane of both pirates
and purchasers of books, music
and software.
What is it? Lets say you buy a
DRM-protected e-book from an
online bookstore. You download
it onto your computer without a
problem. But you want to move it
onto your iPad or laptop when
you go on vacation.
You cant. The e-book is li-
censed only for the first comput-
er. You can only read it there.
Sure, it seems inconvenient, but
thousands of people every day
find themselves in the same boat
for books, music, movies and
video games.
In many cases, youre not
buying a copy of the item, youre
buying a limited-rights license to
it, and there are limits to what
you can do, how many copies
you can make and what devices
you can use to access what
youve just purchased.
Digital Rights Management
advocates claim this is all done to
protect themselves from pirates,
but some of the measures they
take are so stringent that legiti-
mate end users cant even play
the song they just legally pur-
chased due to a quirk on their
machine or because they did
something as random as install a
new DVD drive or change the
time on their device.
Even some producers of mu-
sic, games and books have begun
to complain about the copy pro-
tection, going so far as to reject
using distributors who employ it.
Fortunately, some publishers
are beginning to realize the mon-
ey they spend on Digital Rights
Management and the level of
annoyance their customers feel
when they deal with it might not
be worth it.
Tor/Forge, a well-known pub-
lisher of science fiction and
fantasy books, announced recent-
ly it is pulling all Digital Rights
Management protection from its
e-books starting in July due to
repeated requests from both
authors and readers.
Several other e-book publish-
ers have dropped DRM or are in
the process of doing so, and
publishers of video games and
music have begun to reconsider
their own anti-piracy philoso-
phies.
Its easy to demonstrate that
Digital Rights Management has
in many cases done the exact
opposite of what was intended.
Annoying end users makes it
much more likely they will ille-
gally download an e-book or a
song instead of purchasing it. As
a result, online piracy is flourish-
ing, and in many cases the pirat-
ed version of a piece of software
is more readily available than the
real deal.
Its taken some time, but pub-
lishers are beginning to get it into
their heads pirates will always
crack their copy protection. In
the long run, making products
affordable and accessible is a
much better strategy. W
Thanks to Digital Rights Management, even people who
legally purchase music, books and software are limited
in how they can access and use them.

Von Luger Steak & Seafood,

father, who is the Carl in his
restaurants name.

@ The Scranton Club.
Whiskey Dicks is
offering a special
cocktail menu for
Restaurant Week.
One of the dishes
at Doc Magrogans
Oyster House.
T
heres a very simple
reason Electric City
Restaurant Week is
happening.
Im a total
foodie I love food, I love
wine, explained Katrina Foster,
the president and founder of
Milford-based KKPR Marketing
& Public Relations.
After having a successful two-
year run with Restaurant Week
Along the Delaware, which
featured restaurants in Pike and
Monroe counties in Pennsylva-
nia, Sullivan and Orange coun-
ties in New York and Sussex and
Wayne counties in New Jersey,
Foster and her staff looked to
Scranton.
I thought, Gosh, why
doesnt Scranton have one of
these? Theres so many great
restaurants, I gured since
nobodys doing it, then I can go
up there and eat and drink for
a really good price, she said,
laughing. Thats kind of how
that happened because I like
food.
Liked-minded foodies will be
able to reap the benets of Fos-
ters vision and appetite
when Electric City Restaurant
Week (ECRW) kicks off Friday,
May 4 and runs through Friday,
May 18 at participating restau-
rants throughout the Scranton
area, all which will offer select
breakfasts under $8, lunches un-
der $15 and three-course dinners
under $32.
The restaurants include Posh
@ The Scranton Club, City
Cafe, Carl Von Luger Steak &
Seafood, Bella Faccias, Hilton
Scranton, The Banshee, Whis-
key Dicks, Doc Magrogans
Oyster House, Longworths
Family Restaurant, Anna Ma-
rias Restaurant, Kellys Pub
& Eatery, Kildares Irish Pub,
Sambuca Italian Grille & Bar,
Stinkys Chili, Martini Grill and
Carmens Restaurant & Wine
Bar.
I think the primary goal,
especially for where its located,
is to increase business to the lo-
cal restaurants and to get people
out to try all of the many really
wonderful restaurants that the
Electric City does have, Foster
said. And in conjunction with
that, since a lot of them are
around shopping areas, were
hoping that it spills over into the
local commerce as well.
Foster modeled ECRW, which
has the Weekender as one of its
sponsors, after New York Citys
and hopes that NEPAs will be-
come a biannual event, too.
I have friends in the city,
they literally plan where theyre
going to dinner every night of
those two weeks, she said. Its
just a really great opportunity
for the restaurants to show off
their culinary abilities and really
kind of introduce themselves to
people and keep them coming
back.
ALL INTHE FAMILY
T
hats exactly what City
Cafe owner Dominic
Saadi is hoping for with
his participation in ECRW.

That more people would be
introduced to (us); I think we do
something special, something
unique, he said of his Mediter-
ranean-centric restaurant, which
has been open for more than
three years and features family
recipes. You wont see a televi-
sion here, and the reason for
it is I believe the table and
the food is a host to invite
conversation, friends and family
having a good time.
City Cafe will offer a $15
three-course lunch between 11
a.m.-3 p.m. that includes a hum-
mus appetizer, fattoush salad
and a choice of ve entrees
ranging from farro risotto to
lamb stew.
Thats why I would like to
do something like Restaurant
Week to get more people in here
so they know what were doing
and give us a chance, Saadi
said.
On the other side of Court-
house Square in downtown
Scranton is the year-old Carl
Von Luger Steak & Seafood,
which is a reincarnation of for-
mer Clarks Summit restaurant,
Great Uncle Peters Steakhouse.
At Great Uncle Peters, we
were strictly steaks, limited sh,
some chicken, stated owner
Robert Dickert. We brought
a menu that was bigger, we
brought a menu that has a big
variety.
In addition to the steak some
acionados might expect with
Dickerts familys connection
to Peter Luger, who opened
his legendary eponymous
steakhouse in Williamsburg,
Brooklyn in 1887, Carl Von
Luger, named after Dickerts
father who was Peter Lugers
nephew, also offers sh, chicken
and vegan dishes as well
as something that already fell
under Restaurant Weeks pric-
ing point: The Scranton Sup-
per Club, which is available
Monday-Friday from 4-6 p.m.
and features a choice of four
entrees, soup or salad, non-
alcoholic beverages and dessert
for $16.95.
We are going to provide a
couple of three-course dinner
specials that offer a salad and
dessert with it, Dickert said,
adding that hell also have other
specials and giveaways during
Restaurant Week.
I think a city of this size
should do a Restaurant Week,
he continued. Im glad (KKPR)
came across and did something
like this. I think we can get
more people, (and) the people
that usually dont go out will do
Restaurant Week.
A NEW SPIN
When we were approached,

it was something that,
living in New York for 17
years, we were very familiar
with, Joshua Mast, who owns
Posh @ The Scranton Club with
his partner Paul Blackledge, said
of ECRW. One of the things
that were very passionate about
is just getting people to down-
town Scranton, whether its our
business or other businesses. Its
denitely one of the things that
we wanted to support because
its a great thing for people to
realize all of the great places
they can come to, and whether
theyve been there before,
Restaurant Week just puts a dif-
ferent spin on it.
Posh, which opened in No-
vember, already offers prix-xe
lunch and dinner menus, but
our chef does amazing nightly
specials, so hell be taking some
of what he would do as his
nightly special and making it
into a special Restaurant Week
three-course menu, and thats
for dinner.
For an aperitif or if you
want to bring back the liquid
lunch Whiskey Dicks is of-
fering an exclusive ECRW cock-
tail menu with selections for $5,
$7 and $9.
It ranges from a strawberry
mango mojito and Whiskey
Dicks signature Manhattan to
a Froot Loop martini and a pear
Tom Collins, shared owner
Gregory Evans, who opened
Whiskey Dicks in 2008. We
are going a little bit above and
beyond to show the Scranton
area that we are more than just a
simple corner bar, as the stigma
may still linger.
With Evans food business at
Whiskey Dicks in its infancy
KKPR presents
Electric City Restaurant
Week, May 4-18 at
participating
Scranton-area
restaurants.
Info: electriccityrw.com
or nd the event on
Facebook
we just started a deep-fried
food menu, basically nger
food hes eaten at and got-
ten to know many of the owners
of the participating ECRW
restaurants.
To know the passion they
have behind their establish-
ments, from one owner to
another owner, its really great
to be able to make those con-
nections and see the excitement
behind them. Everybody is just
so excited, he said.
Foster agreed.
Weve been getting a lot
of phone calls, which is really
exciting for us because con-
sumers are calling us trying to
make sure they understand the
concept and how they can take
advantage of it. We actually had
one guy say, Can I go to all of
them?, she recalled, laughing.
Its been really well-received.
W
I think a city of
this size should do
a Restaurant Week
The people that
usually dont go out
will do Restaurant
Week.

Green piece
By Jen Stevens
I
f you have been following the
news lately, you probably
have already heard about the
recent mad cow disease case
discovered in California. On
April 24, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture announced that a
10-year-old dairy cow had mad
cow disease, or bovine spongi-
form encephalopathy (BSE). The
disease was discovered by a
random test that was done on the
cow. In a recent press conference,
the USDAs chief veterinary
officer John Clifford said the
cows meat has not entered the
food supply, and its carcass will
be destroyed. Agriculture offi-
cials stated that the cow does not
pose any danger to human health,
but as this is the fourth animal
diagnosed with the disease in the
U.S., one can only wonder if it
will become a health issue.
Simply put, mad cow disease is
an incurable, fatal brain disease
that affects cattle. The reason it
was called mad cow disease is
because it affects a cows nervous
system, which causes them to act
strangely. Some cattle get to the
point where they cant even walk.
There is no evidence that people
can contract mad cow disease.
But experts have linked mad cow
disease to an extremely rare brain
condition that affects people,
called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease (vCJD), People with
vCJD will lose brain cells and
eventually lose control of both
mental and physical capabilities.
In the United Kingdom, more
than 180,000 cattle have been
infected with the disease and
more than 4 million have been
slaughtered. I remember first
hearing about mad cow disease,
it was quite disturbing seeing
images of cattle not being able to
walk and stumbling around with-
out a clue. Even though I dont
eat meat, I was still concerned
about the disease and hoped
those who do eat meat were
taking the right precautions.
Thankfully, the U.S. government
has established several proce-
dures to protect the public when
it comes to meat. The brain and
spinal cord, which are the parts
of the animal with the highest
risk of containing mad cow dis-
ease, are removed and there is
also a system in place to test
animals regularly.
The FDA also says there is no
evidence that the disease is trans-
mitted through cows milk and
milk products. But since this
latest case was discovered in a
dairy cow, and it is still a mystery
how the cow contracted the dis-
ease, you can never be too cau-
tious. W
Mad cow case
calls for caution
A cow stands behind a fence in DeWitt, Neb., last week.
The beef industry has responded swiftly recently after
the first new case of mad cow disease was found in the
U.S. since 2006.
T
hough it closed its doors
in 2010, the effects of
Cafe Metropolis absence
continue to be felt. For many,
the all-ages venue that was
located in downtown Wilkes-
Barre provided a focal point
for original local music. With-
out it, some say the scene has
become rudderless.
Among those who feel that
way is Sean Flynn, singer/
guitarist for the band Echo
Whiskey Charlie.
Metro closing was the nail
in the coffin for a lot of
bands, Flynn said. Echo
Whiskey Charlie played one of
the last shows there. We
played our first show there,
too.
In Scranton, you have The
Vintage Theater, The Keys,
The Bog, Embassy Vinyl and
New Visions Studio and Gal-
lery. In Wilkes-Barre, though,
theres almost nowhere to go
unless youre a bar band, a
cover band.
With that in
mind, Flynn and
members of other
area bands are
teaming up to
organize 570 Fest
at the Jewish Com-
munity Center of
Greater Wilkes-
Barre on Sunday,
May 6.
For $6, attendees
can take in sets from 15 dif-
ferent acts, including Echo
Whiskey Charlie, and Flynns
other band, Those Clever Fox-
es, as well as Sucker, A So-
cial State, The Love Crimes,
The Way, Chet Williams and
A Fire with Friends among
others. Represented genres
range from grunge to folk. All
local. All original music. All
united under the banner of
bringing the scene back.
Another band playing the
event is Silhouette Lies. It is
that groups guitarist, Rafael
Pimentel, who Flynn credits
with kickstarting the event.
Though Pimentel acknowl-
edges that Wilkes-Barre venues
like Redwood Art Space and
Liams Place are a big help in
promoting local original music,
he feels that they havent been
able to provide the stability
and sense of unity that Cafe
Metropolis did. Still, hope is
not lost.
I think it can be done
without the Metro, Pimentel
began. Having a place that
can be the central hub would
help, but I dont think its a
necessity. I think there are
enough venues here that, by
working together rather than
competing, we could see a
revival in the local music
scene.
This show is serving almost
as a kick in the butt for peo-
ple to wake up and say, Hey,
you know what? We have a
great local music scene. Lets
show everyone.
Not content to do that with
one show alone, Pimentel and
Flynn hope to make 570 Fest
an annual event. They also
plan to use half of the events
proceeds to fund a compilation
album comprising tracks from
local artists, expected out in
late summer/early fall.
When were done with the
CD, we plan to make it free.
Well have all the songs
available online as well. The
point is to make it as acces-
sible as possible, Pimentel
explained. I am confident in
what were doing. Im so
proud of this music scene. I
dont think the issue is lack of
interest. Its lack of awareness.
Noting that none of the
bands on the bill are playing
the event for profit, Pimentel
pointed out that the other half
of 570 Fests proceeds will go
toward sending children to
JCCs summer camp program.
Since were going to be
benefitting from this, why not
help out someone else in the
process? Pimentel said. The
JCC offered us a home, and
we were like, Hey, what can
we do for you in return?
Being able to help these kids
out is fantastic. Its nice to see
someone else benefit from
something that were doing just
because we love doing it. W

Some artists use an older
musical style or sound for
inspiration, while others copy
it note for note, but rarely
does it feel as natural as it
does on Boys & Girls, the
impressive full-length debut
from Alabama Shakes. The
four-piece band, led by guita-
rist/singer Brittany Howard,
creates an intoxicating blend
of raw, bluesy rock with a
healthy infusion of Southern
soul.
Rambling album opener
Hold On sets the tone for
everything that follows. The
music is stripped down and
simple with a heavy twang,
and Howards vocals are ei-
ther soft and easy or impas-
sioned, energetic wails. Ten-
der moments such as I
Found You or Heartbreak-
er are interspersed with up-
tempo numbers like Hang
Loose or On Your Way,
adding some variety but never
straying too far in either di-
rection.
Elsewhere, the band does
experiment just a bit. Rise to
the Sun and Goin to the
Party each have a bubbly,
tropical feel, and the gradual
growth to dramatic piano-
backed crescendos in Be
Mine and You Aint Alone
conjure up notions of some of
the earliest music to ever be
called rock n roll. While the
musicians are certainly tech-
nically proficient, their real
talent lies in their ability to
put heart and soul in the mu-
sic, making it inviting but
never overwhelming.
The music that Alabama
Shakes has put together on
Boys & Girls sounds as
though it was brought to the
world from a time capsule
dating back about half a cen-
tury. The sound is pure and
honest, never seeming forced
or manufactured. If the stellar
work on this album is any
indication, Alabama Shakes is
definitely a band to keep an
eye on.

With his penchant for slowly plucked
banjo, his earnest, understated singing
and his uneasy, often grim lyrics, Justin
Ringle sometimes impinges on Bonnie
Prince Billys weird, old Americana
territory.
But Ringles Horse Feathers comes
with strings attached: The Portland band
basically Ringle and violinist Nathan
Crockett, plus loads of helpmates is at
its best when it contrasts his stark songs
with luxurious orchestrations, and that
happens often on Cynics New Year,
Horse Feathers fourth album.
Fire To Fields / Elegy For Quitters
blends violins, cello, trebly piano, and soft
drums into a gorgeous suite; Last Waltz
sounds like a chamber quartet remaking a
Bon Iver song. Although Ringle can write
a lovely simple acoustic guitar song such
as the Iron & Wine-like opener A Heart
Arcane, Horse Feathers is at its best
when at its most string-kissed.

T
he Ting Tings are man-
aged by Jay-Zs Roc
Nation. Jay is an artist
who has managed to stay true
to himself while maintaining
relevancy. Jules de Martino
and Katie White hope to do
the same, and that alone could
explain the four-year gap be-
tween the duos breakout de-
but We Started Nothing
and its latest release, Sounds
From Nowheresville.
We have to tour this record
for two years because of the
time we took and probably the
awkwardness that we behaved
like almost to get it done,
White told me during a sit
down. We feel like we have
something to say, which is
(important) to us.
The singer said she would
have hated the alternative: To
release an album that the
band simply couldnt or
wouldnt want to speak about.
We wouldnt have been
able to tour, she said. We
wouldnt have been able to do
interviews.
After a recording session in
Berlin a few years ago that
yielded countless songs, the
English group played its re-
cord label 10 final tracks.
Columbia Records executives
were excited beyond belief;
the duo was far from satis-
fied.
We werent not feeling
them because (Columbia)
loved them, White shared.
We just felt like we had
more to do really.
A single from that session,
Hands, would eventually
make its way on to radio. The
Calvin Harris-mixed track
serves as the bridge between
what was The Ting Tings
first album, what couldve
been its sophomore LP and
what is the new record.
We totally respect dance
music and what it does, de
Martino noted. What we
didnt want to do is just jump
on a bandwagon of fads and
trends.
So the group took its
rhythm-based, multi-instru-
mental act to Spain and
wound up recording its second
album in isolation. I really
wanted to make (Katies sing-
ing ability) prominent on this
album, de Martino said. So
to contain it, we felt, well,
why not a nice way to end is
rather than end on a big
track, why dont we just let
the album live there in this
space so people can sort of
reflect on it and talk about
it.
The plan worked with me,
as I asked the question de
Martino hoped for: Why did
you end the album on such a
soft note? Thankfully for de
Martino and White, neither
will mind having that con-
versation for years to come.

S
hould something in the
next room stay in the next
room, no matter how sor-
did or experimental it may be?
Playwright Sarah Ruhl didnt
think so, which is why she
penned her 2009 play, In the
Next Room (or The Vibrator
Play), in which she peered into
the early history of the vibrator,
which was used on women as a
way to treat hysteria during the
Victorian Era.
In the Next Room, set in a
town outside New York City just
after the invention of electricity
circa 1880, also covers topics
such as motherhood, jealousy
and Victorian ignorance of fe-
male sexual desire. In the play,
Dr. Givings performs exploratory
treatments in his home office
that intrigues his wife, Catherine,
who then goes on to discover the
gadgets surprisingly delightful
side effects after having a less-
than-stellar sex life with the
good doctor.
In the Next Room was nom-
inated for three 2010 Tony
Awards, including Best Play, and
now, Bloomsburg Theatre En-
semble brings the hysteria to
NEPA with a run of perform-
ances that begin Thursday, May
3. Naturally, given its topic, the
play is recommended for mature
audiences, though much of the
action happens under sheets.
But what doesnt stay under
the sheets all the time, however,
are those vibrators, those mon-
strous-looking contraptions that
were clinical tools that bear little
or no resemblance to the sex toys
of today.
I had taken a curious interest
in the vibrators and had volun-
teered to build them, said Jef-
frey Leighton, who designed
them and procured much of what
went into building them at flea
markets and auctions.
As one might expect, there
were some challenges in building
the old-fashioned apparatuses.
Being creative enough to see
something that was normal or
ordinary and put it in a com-
pletely different context, Leight-
on began, and make it into
something completely different
that you could look at it and go,
Oh, maybe its something that
looks familiar, but it doesnt. W

movie review
W
hat if Nicolas Cage was
taken from us before his
time? Could we live in a
world without Nicolas Cage?
Could we ever find another actor
with as much distaste for their
own dignity as Cage? Obviously,
its a question none of us ever
want to consider, but should
Cage ever fall to his death in an
attempt to touch a squirrel (or
from whatever weird stuff Cage
gets up to in his free time), The
Raven indicates that John Cu-
sack would be right there, ready
to apply eyeliner and shout his
lungs out in the kind of movie
that is just one Val Kilmer ap-
pearance away from going direct-
ly to DVD.
Seemingly inspired by the
recent Sherlock Holmes reboot
as well as the Sigourney Weaver
thriller Copycat, The Raven
is a fictionalized account of the
final days of Edgar Allan Poe
(Cusack). In the film, a broken
and embittered Poe is coerced
into joining forces with the po-
lice in order to track down a
serial killer who is murdering
people through the same methods
Poe utilized in his stories. Com-
plicating matters is the fact that
the killer has kidnapped Poes
fiancee (Alice Eve), who, in a
surprising turn of events, is nei-
ther 13 years old nor is she Poes
cousin. Can Poe save the love of
his life or will he blah-de-blah-
de-pooh-fart lets move on.
The Raven, at the very least,
starts out on a promising note.
Initially, Poe is depicted as a
pretentious, washed-up asshole
that openly badmouths other
authors like Longfellow, exploits
his fading celebrity status at a
local bar in order to get free
drinks and, for no particular
reason, pokes absently at the
lifeless body of a cat he finds in
the street. For just a few scenes,
The Raven isnt afraid to pre-
sent Poe in the most unflattering
light possible. Hes the kind of
character that everyone on screen
clearly loathes, and Cusacks
campy, slightly unhinged per-
formance makes these earlier
scenes fun to watch. But once the
plot kicks in, Poes more in-
teresting quirks are forgotten as
the character uneasily transforms
into a generic action hero. Its
never believable watching this
character act heroic or romance
his unfeasibly attractive fiancee,
and its never very entertaining
either. Youve seen a film like
The Raven before, and youve
seen it done better if only be-
cause any other film is smart
enough not to waste an inordi-
nate amount of screen time on
footage of people writing with
quills or using sextants.
Even when the film finally
reveals the identity of the killer,
its so arbitrary it hardly registers.
If youre going to give us a con-
cept as stupid as Edgar Allen
Poe solves mysteries with his pet
raccoon, then you might as well
have fun with it. Whats wrong
with revealing a jealous Mark
Twain as the killer? Go stupid, or
go home, people.
Indifferently directed by flashy
hack James McTeigue, The
Raven frequently plays like an
overlong and unwanted pilot for
a mystery series on TNT. To
quoth the raven: Never have Ive
seen such a massive pile of dog
shit. (I might be paraphrasing
here. Im not sure).
John Cusacks Edgar Allan Poe embraces his fiancee Emily Hamilton, played by Alice
Eve in The Raven.

T
he pulsating music scene in
our area never seems to
disappoint as the concert
listings are packed with a diverse
collection of musicians taking the
stage. Whether it is a local band
spawned out of a members garage
or a national act with millions of
fans, the sweet sound of music is
constantly flowing through our
backyard. The Vintage Theater is
once again celebrating the artis-
tically talented in more ways than
one with the return of its Rhythm
of the Region exhibition.
This is the second year the
Vintage is holding Rhythmof the
Region, an exhibit of original
artwork inspired by the local-
music scene; the event kicks off
on May 4 as part of the First Fri-
day Art Walk in Scranton.
We are constantly trying to
bridge the gap between artists, the
public and unify various mediums
that do not always collaborate as
often as they should, explained
Theresa OConnor, the theaters
visual arts director. To us, it
seemed that a visual exhibit influ-
enced by the musical arts was an
excellent way to encompass mul-
tiple facets of our mission and
bring artists and musicians to-
gether.
With the success of last years
exhibition, the decision to hold
the Rhythmof the Region an-
nually was easy. This year though,
attendees will go back in time as
the display features more works
that encompass the areas musical
past.
We have placed a larger focus
on collecting memorabilia and
works that capture the history of
past venues and artists, so we
hope that even those who have
lost touch with the arts communi-
ty may be inspired to return, said
OConnor.
The open submission process
ensured that local artists of all
mediums could submit their origi-
nal photography, graphic design,
drawing and painting artwork to
be considered for inclusion in the
exhibit.
The work has been influenced
by music performers that are
locally based or have played in the
area, shared OConnor. Other
works to see are memorabilia
such as T-shirts, posters, albums
and items that represent past
venues.
Fridays opening reception will
feature local musicians Smeltzer
and Smith performing in connec-
tion with artist Ted Michalowskis
DrawCore, a live event.
It is important to not only
showcase the history and talent of
the musicians and artists of the
area but also to showappreciation
and give the credit they deserve,
OConnor said. Hopefully this
exhibit will open some eyes to the
vibrant artistic community and
inspire people to get out to local
concerts.
Venues have come and gone
throughout the region, but the
spirit of the music and love of the
fans continue on through
Rhythmof the Region as ven-
ues that once were such as Test
Pattern and Cafe Metropolis
will be remembered; the history
of The Vintage Theater will also
be celebrated.
Part of The Vintage Theaters
mission is to highlight all music
genres and styles, OConnor
stated. The artwork and artifacts
of the music scene not only serve
as documentation but highlight
the versatile passion of the local
talent. W
Ted Michalowski stands in front of one of his works during a past Draw Core event.

novel approach
Contents May Have Shift-

ed by Pam Houston is a
novel about leaving the
baggage of your life behind for
the flow of the current. The title,
becoming the defining point of
the work, emphasizes that our
existence should not follow a
specific pattern, but rather shift
often.
The novel introduces readers
to the narrator, Pam, who, as we
can tell, is experiencing a sud-
den onset of panic. While in
flight from Sydney, Australia,
her plane begins to malfunction.
All the while, everyone around
her seems composed or too
self-involved to notice. But Pam,
being the quirky character she is,
ends up laughing it off, albeit
accompanied by a dark sense of
humor.
With more than 100 vignettes
following this potentially threat-
ening event, Houston offers
important details of her infinite
travel experiences. After each
chapter, readers begin to place
the pieces together until we are
finally able to see the bigger
picture.
In writing each account,
Houston employs a stream of
consciousness, which though
risky, ultimately resonates with
the format demonstrating that
life, just like the very pages she
writes, are open-ended. As a
result, the novel reads like a
journal, each chapter shows only
a segment of the actual experi-
ence.
For example, in the chapter
Juneau, Alaska, Pam discusses
her experience seeing Orca
whales: I listen to the sweep of
her fin, the puff of her breathing
until she disappears into the
disappearing diamonds. When
the males big fin is the only
thing visible a speck on the
horizon, we turn the boat north
and head for home.
Just like the Orca in Pams
eyes, readers can only see a
glimpse of her with each story.
As readers discover Pams indi-
viduality, Houston augments the
work with scenes and landscapes
of travel that are both vibrant
and captivating.
Pam travels from one place to
the next, becoming immersed in
that environment if only for a
brief time. While her behavior
does sometimes seem adolescent
with the need to constantly find
herself, there is something genu-
ine about her approach for the
answers. In that search, Houston
reveals every detail and every
flaw of Pams world, aspects
many readers cannot only appre-
ciate, but also relate to.
Though Houston never devel-
ops many of the characters out-
side Pam, the friendships wit-
nessed in the book are some of
the most important. It is through
that lens that we observe her
shortcomings with relationships
and the resolution her friends are
there to offer.
There are many beautiful
themes throughout the novel, but
the most fundamental is empo-
werment. The turning point of
the book then becomes Pam
learning how to embrace dys-
function and find that strength.
Houston then leaves readers with
worldly advice to channel the
shift in our lives and roll with it.

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Jeffs Bitch
We hear a lot these days about
the soaring cost of higher educa-
tion. Its not uncommon to see a
graduate with $100,000 in col-
lege loans, yet unable to find a
decent job. Sad and sickening.
Ive heard President Obama and
other big-shot politicians moan
about how we need to help young
people get that needed college
education. Yet every plan Ive
ever heard simply involves mak-
ing more financial aid available,
lower interest rates or some vari-
ation of that. I think were look-
ing at this problem the wrong
way.
Can anyone explain why at a
time when weve had little to no
inflation (the government claims
inflation is around 2 percent),
then why have colleges and uni-
versities been averaging 8 per-
cent a year? Year after year! Now,
I dont claim to be an economist,
but we all know prices climb
when something is in demand.
And that demand is coming from
the perception that everyone
needs a college education and
that the government must make
money available for anyone who
wants to attend.
Think what would happen if
the demand for higher education
dropped by 10 percent. Eventu-
ally, prices would have to come
down as schools jockeyed to fill
empty seats. Personally, I went to
a two-year college because I
couldnt afford four years.
Today, too many kids go to
school because they dont know
what they want to do yet. Thats
fine, but theres no need to blow
$30,000 a year figuring yourself
out.
Instead of continuing to pro-
vide easy money for the colleges
to suck from our youth, maybe
we need to freeze or even reduce
the amount of support. The whiz
kids will always get scholarships
but for the other 95 percent, why
not make money available on
how well you performed in high
school? Or even on your SATs?
Im just tossing out a few ideas,
and there may be better ones. But
in a time when our government is
going broke, why do we continue
to enrich universities that seem to
be doing a lot better each year
than the people whose tax dollars
help them stay in business?
Amandas Brag:
As a kid growing up in Rhode
Island, I loved going to hockey
games and seeing the Providence
Bruins play, but good God these
games seem so much more fun
now as a grown up! It might have
something to do with the Blue
Moon they serve in those flimsy
plastic cups or the fact that I
actually get the game and know
whats going on now. But its
probably the fact that the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins are so
much fun to watch!
I went to the first round of
Calder Cup playoffs and literally
had the best time. The team plays
hard, the crowd is so fired up, the
music is energetic, and the game
is so freaking exciting! You know
how some sporting events are
more boring than watching paint
dry? There is no chance for bore-
dom at these games they are
just that good, that eventful and
that much fun! Im at the point
where I cant get enough.
The WB/S Penguins kicked
some butt in Hershey and are
advancing to the Eastern Confer-
ence semifinals. This team is on
fire! If you dont have plans this
weekend, I urge you to get to a
game and support the Pens. They
are set to play the St. Johns Ice
Caps in Canada this week to then
return to Mohegan Sun Arena for
Game 3 and 4 this Saturday and
Sunday!
Tickets for home playoff
games are on sale now, and you
can get them through the Mohe-
gan Sun Arena box office, via
Ticketmaster or by calling
800.745.3000.
This is for those of you who
constantly claim, There is noth-
ing to do around here. There is
so much to do, and the Penguins
are just getting started! Go Pens!

Tips
By Janelle Engle
from a
barbie chick
I
t is impossible to fit denim
into just one category. Ive
most often heard it referred to
as the all-American look. This
is most likely due to the rest of
the world having this idea that the
basic American look is a T-shirt
with a pair of blue jeans. Due to
this, in fashion, its also been
called the boring fabric. But to
me, basic isnt always boring. In
fact, theres something about
dressing down in jeans and a
T-shirt that sometimes even I like
as long as its paired with heels
instead of sneakers, of course.
Besides, not all denim has to be
worn on the bottom. Fun ways to
wear denim include a denim shirt,
vest or blazer. Denim is also
extremely convenient because it
goes with just about everything.
Yes, this does include the forbid-
den denim-on-denim rule.
If youve learned anything
from me, you should know that
every fashion rule was made to
be challenged. Therefore, denim
on denim is a look that might
seem slightly ridiculous while
youre putting it together, but
works more oftentimes than it
doesnt. Make sure you wear the
lighter-washed denim on top and
the darker on the bottom, and its
important you break up the denim
pieces with solid neutral accesso-
ries; in particular, white looks
effortlessly chic.
What I love about denim,
though, is it doesnt have to be
just denim. There are so many
opportunities to get creative with
it since its such an easy fabric to
work with. Add some bleach to
give it a vintage faded look, rip
up those old denim jeans of yours
or add studs or patches to that
denim jacket. Sure, its not what
youll wear on a date night out,
but it is a timeless look for those
lazy days where you dont want to
look like youre trying too hard.
In the end, thats what Id call
denim the perfect casual fab-
ric. W
A multifaceted
fabric
Denim isnt just for jeans.
Denim is also extremely convenient

Ive been collecting comics

since I was 5 years old, said
Dave Romeo, owner of
Comics on the Green in Scranton.
I fell in love with them. I was an
avid reader.
From the tone of Romeos
voice, you could tell instantly that
he isnt in the comic-book indus-
try just for the money, and al-
though Free Comic Book Day,
which will take place on Sat-
urday, May 5 is an excellent day
to generate retail revenue, the
reason for his excitement and
energy is because hes passionate
about sharing his love with new
and existing comic-book readers.
Joe Field of Flying Colors
Comics in Concord, Calif., is the
brainchild behind the Free Comic
Book Day event. He originally
thought of the idea in his column
in Krause Publications Comics
& Games Retailer Magazine back
in August 2001, according to
comicbooked.com.
Romeo is aware of the fact that
new business can be gained by
the event, but his main priority is
putting an emphasis on reading.
Comic books are such a neat
art form, he said. People dont
read as much as they used to. We
want to bring attention that most
big cities have these wacky com-
ic-book shops like ours where
you can find great reading mate-
rial.
Romeo is proud that Comics
on the Green will be celebrating
its 20th year in business, and he
feels that the reason that his busi-
ness is still surviving in the shaky
economy is because it strives for
customer satisfaction and aims
for originality in the comic-book
industry.
A lot of shops maybe changed
their focus too much like when
Furby or Beanie Babies were
popular, he shared. They would
jump from one fad to the next,
and you dont keep consistent
customers that way.
Not only will Comics on the
Green be giving away free comic
books, but it will offer discounted
deals on toys and graphic novels,
as well as face painting from
Candy Faces Facepainting &
Body Art, and professional il-
lustrator Tom Derenick will be
signing autographs and creating
sketches.
Romeo has experienced several
Free Comic Book Day events,
and he admitted that the one thing
that he finds rewarding is the
interaction he receives from the
fans who enter the store.
What I love are people Ive
never met starting up conversa-
tions, he said. Parents will be in
line with their kids, and they will
just strike up conversations. You
find out a lot of people have some
similar tastes and stuff. Thats my
favorite part. Obviously, its a
good retail day for me, but there
are weird conversations and
friendships that pop up.
Romeo has been reading comic
books pretty much his entire life
and confessed that hes a big fan
of the superhero comics, but as of
right now, theres one comic in
particular that he has on his radar.
Right now one of the popular
ones, which is a television series
and my favorite book, The Walk-
ing Dead, he shared. Its very
popular right now. I love that
book, and its the one book that I
dont wait to read whenever it
comes out.
Romeo attended Penn State
University with the intention of
becoming an English teacher.
After graduation, his job search
in the education field wasnt
coming along, so he decided to
take a shot at opening up his own
comic book business. Its 20 years
later, and he hasnt turned back.
It worked out very well, I
cant complain, he said. Im
very happy with the way things
worked out. I got lucky. W

W
hen it comes to the
gender debate, how
do you decide who
comes out on top? For the
three couples competing in
the upcoming Battle of the
Sexes game hosted by the
Weekender and Optimum
Entertainment, it looks like
it might be a close call.
Weve been Googling
Battle of the sexes ques-
tions, and weve been quizz-
ing each other, said Rebec-
ca Palmer, who will compete
with her husband, Curt.
And weve been talking the
last couple of weeks about
things about ourselves to
make sure that we both
know, like, weird things
about each other.
With the way the game
will be set up, Palmers plan
of attack may pay off. The
first round of Battle of the
Sexes will feature three triv-
ia questions that the couples
answer together.
At the news of this, con-
testant Michelle Belles real-
ized she probably needs to
step up her game.
Well, I guess Id better
crack open the encyclope-
dia! she said.
Belles will be competing
with her husband, Randall
Jones, and her words of
wisdom to him will be use-
ful for the third round
where the couples answer
questions about each other
in a format similar to the
game show The Newlywed
Game.
I just basically warned
him that he has to know
everything about me, and
that was it, Belles said,
laughing.
The second round, where
the contenders square off on
questions about the opposite
sex, is where the true gender
test will come in. Palmer is
optimistic that she wont be
the one to carry the team on
that front.
I think its going to be
my husband, she said. Hes
much more knowledgeable
about the women stuff than I
am the guy stuff.
Competitor April Cook
said the same about her sig-
nificant other, Kris Arthur,
in the general-trivia category.
But its interesting to note
that with all three couples,
the women chose to be in-
terviewed. Maybe the guys
have the trivia in the bag,
but the girls arent afraid to
take the reins when they
need to.
The couples will be com-
peting on Wednesday, May 2
at Brews Brothers in Pittston
for a prize package that
includes a one-night stay at
a participating Hilton hotel
location along with a gift
certificate to Posh @ The
Scranton Club.
Cook and Arthur have
been together for the short-
est amount of time.
Weve been together for a
year, and we grew up to-
gether, she said. We were
in a Bible summer camp,
and we just got reconnected
about a year ago in the
summer through mutual
friends.
Both Palmer and Belles
have been with their respec-
tive other halves for a little
bit longer.
We started dating in
1998. He will tell you that I
chased him, but that is in-
correct! Palmer said, laugh-
ing. We met in college, and
then we started dating about
a year and a half after that.
We got married in 2001, so
we just had our 10th anni-
versary in December.
Belles and her husband
have been together 14 years,
but will also celebrate 10
years of wedded bliss in
June.
I cant think of any better
way to celebrate our 10-year
anniversary than to really
find out more about each
other that we dont know,
she said. W
Battle of the Sexes: Wed., May
2, 8 p.m., Brews Brothers
Pittston (1705 River Road,
Pittston).

S
weat, dirt, maybe some
tears. Along with those
attributes, mud runs tend to
carry the reputation of being all
about endurance, physical
strength and competition. But
even with the obstacles and dis-
tance running associated with the
sport, not all people participating
want to feel like theyre in com-
petition. One event in particular
is capitalizing on that idea.
There was the growing pop-
ularity of mud runs, but all the
other mud runs were testing the
limits of physical fitness, said
Jimmy Gohsman, race director
for Dirty Girl Mud Run, a fe-
male-only, non-competitive,
non-timed 5k mud run and obsta-
cle course. We noticed there
wasnt anything really out there
that was less intimidating and,
taken a step further, just for
women.
So we wanted to create an
event just for the girls and one
that was inclusive for all fitness
levels. So you could have your
traditional marathoner do it, but
you could also have somebody
whos never done an event be-
fore.
The Dirty Girl Mud Run will
come to Scranton for the first
time when it takes over Toyota
Pavilion at Montage Mountain on
Saturday, May 5, with a portion
of the proceeds donated to the
National Breast Cancer Founda-
tion. Last year, the organization
contributed $50,000 to the cause,
and its aiming to donate
$250,000 this time around.
The run lasts from 8 a.m.-4
p.m. with groups of 250 women
at a time starting the course every
15 minutes. Music, food and
beverages are also available all
day, providing a festival atmo-
sphere, according to Gohsman.
Its just an overall fun day, he
added. We stress teams to get
together and come on out, so its
a good day for the girls to come
out, and theres lots of spectators.
Its a family-friendly event.
As of the time of the interview,
Gohsman noted that 7,800 people
were already registered to partici-
pate, and the expected final tally
will be the full capacity of 8,250.
Those numbers are pretty as-
tounding considering this is only
the second year Dirty Girl is
being held. Gohsman attributes
that to the events unique ap-
proach.
A lot of women, they train for
it, so it gives them a goal to re-
ach, he said. We polled our
participants last year after our
event series, and we found results
showed that about 60-65 percent
had never done an organized
event before whatsoever.
The fun, welcoming atmo-
sphere is part of what some
women are probably drawn to.
And an additional 15 percent
had only done one or two, so for
a lot of women its either the first
step toward a healthy lifestyle, or
its young mothers who are look-
ing to get back into shape, things
like that, Gohsman continued.
So a lot of them, its something
they can do with their friends in
teams so they can train together,
encourage each other.
Gohsman noted that the Scran-
ton event will probably have
about 13 obstacles, all with fun
names like PMS (Pretty Muddy
Stuff) and Utopian Tubes.
Yeah, theyre climbing obsta-
cles on the course, but theyre
also proving to themselves that
they can tackle whatever they put
their mind to. W

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Some windfalls must be rejected on
ethical grounds (like when you find
someones wallet, for example), but no
one reasonable would really question
your right to keep a lone $100 bill you
found on the street. When pure, blind,
wonderful luck blows in your direction,
accept it with grateful, joyful equanimity
and no questions. This is one of those gift
horses you shouldnt look in the mouth.
Youve gotten good at rolling with the
bad shit when it comes along this
week, refine your ability to gracefully fly
with the good shit when it arrives.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
No one likes a tattletale, but sometimes
taking matters into your own hands sim-
ply isnt advisable, possible or wise. This
is one of those times when reporting
what you know to someone in a position
of power or authority is really your only
viable recourse. Even though it may not
exactly feel good to do it, its still the
only right thing to do. Dont wrestle
with this moral dilemma for too long.
Theres no point. Youve already decided
to get involved; all that remains is the
when and how, and Ive solved at least
part of that for you. Now just get over
your reservations, and get to it.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Solve one problem at a time. Its true,
looking at the messy morass in front of
you would fill almost anyone with de-
spair. Its a knot few could unravel. How-
ever, even from here, while looking at the
big picture, you can still see a snarl or
two you might be able to untangle. Tack-
le those. You may never be able to clear
out this complicated jumble of problems,
but as long as you only take on one or
two snags at a time, youll at least feel
like youre making progress. For now, at
least, that should be enough.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
This is one of those situations where,
ironically and paradoxically, the harder
you try to make things work out, the less
likely theyre going to do so. You cant
force this to go the way you want. In fact,
the less control you exercise, the more
likely itll work out how youve hoped.
Its incredibly hard for you to let go while
also staying invested and involved. How-
ever, mastering this delicate balancing act
will dramatically increase your overall
happiness in life. This week, like it or
not, will present more than one excellent
opportunity to practice.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Life is full of little disappointments.
However, these dont need to be anything
but minor blips unless you decide to
fixate on them and allow them to eclipse
everything thats wonderful and nearly
perfect and right in front of you.
Thats like holding a penny up to your
eye so that you cant see the piles of
heaping treasure laid out before you.
Youd feel poor indeed, with just a penny
to your name, all because you deliberate-
ly (albeit unconsciously) blinded yourself
to all that was really there. That, my
friend, would be a shame.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
One of the rites of passage into adult-
hood is setting proper boundaries for the
people in your life. Not just those youre
responsible for your children, for
example but also those who might
bristle at terms youve dictated, like your
parents. Libras, who are generally eager
to please and be liked and who arent
fond of conflict, have more difficulty
with this transition than many, but its
still a necessary one. This week is all
about setting, communicating and enforc-
ing boundaries for people who arent
naturally inclined to respect them. Dont
be a wimp about it. Stick to your guns
until they get the picture.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Everyone has doubts, especially when
making a big decision. That they are
willing to question their potential choices
is indicative of an open mind; that they
can reveal those reservations to you is
even more special. Dont let such natural
uncertainty poison you or fill you with
fear. Rather, be patient and let them sort
through those feelings. True, they may
decide against the path you hope theyll
take. But youll know if they do choose
the route youre rooting for, itll be after
careful consideration and all the more
wonderfully certain that its the right
path. And then, of course, its full speed
ahead!
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
You like everything to be on the up and
up, so doing anything that smacks of
being sneaky rubs you the wrong way.
Nevertheless, that doesnt change the
reality that sometimes acting in a circum-
spect manner is, weirdly, the most ethical
and effective way to get to where you
need to go. Going behind someones back
or discreetly sharing information without
getting directly involved may occasional-
ly be far wiser than simply stepping up
and boldly announcing what you know
(which is the most likely way to get a
door slammed in your face). This week,
try it.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Someone crossed a line and paid a
penalty for it. Now its up to you what
place, if any, they can have in your life.
Its naively idealistic for either of you to
assume that once theyve done the
time, they can simply return to life as it
was before with a clean slate. Human
emotions arent wired that way. Its per-
fectly within your rights (and may, in
some cases, be the kindest thing you
could do) to tell them they are cut off,
probably forever. However, if you can
find a way to give them a provisional
invite back into your world, and want to,
this week would be a good time to give
that a try.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Its astonishing that we are still having
debates about stuff like marriage equality
or a womans right to choose, as the
forces of forward-thinking enlightenment
have been sounding off on these subjects
for decades or longer now. It just goes to
show how effective illogical, backwards-
thinking stubbornness can be at prevent-
ing whats good and right. Dont give up
hope, though. When it comes to out-
spoken advocates of thoughtful progress,
there are few as wonderfully driven as
you. And if you stop fighting the good
fight, its as good as lost. Change is inev-
itable and the harder you do battle for
it, the sooner itll finally get here.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Sometimes especially in relation-
ships you want something so badly
that you blind yourself to huge red flags
or glaringly obvious shortcomings in
order to still achieve your goal.
Thats totally human and understandable.
And the opposite extreme (having such
exacting standards that no one could
possibly deliver on them) would be
worse. However, opening your eyes and
seeing whats really there is an important
step towards actually getting something
like the relationship you want. And this
happens to be a good week to take a good
long hard look at whats in front of you
and compare it, like it or not, to the imag-
inary picture youve had in your head.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Just because something is worded well
doesnt mean its a valid argument. There
are many eloquent and intelligent people
in your life who arent above a bit of
slick sophistry to forward their own agen-
da. You are brilliantly intelligent but you
do have a blind spot for things that are
flashy or dramatic, so a well-spun tale
can point you in the wrong direction, and
you wont realize how full of holes it is
until its much too late. Because there are
more than a few silver-tongued devils in
your life, be on the alert this week, and
dont let yourself be swayed by anything
but an ironclad case. W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
D
ear Mom & Dad,
I was dreamin when I
wrote this, forgive me if
it goes astray, but I decided to
campaign for Prom King at a
fake 80s prom for my 26th
birthday!
Every Saturday night, Web-
ster Hall in New York City
hosts an audience-participation
show called The Awesome
80s Prom, taking people back
in time to Wanaget Highs
senior prom ... in 1989.
The blast-from-the-past par-
ty puts you and your friends in
with all the action of the show
as members of the student
body. Throughout the night,
actors portraying your favorite
80s movie characters interact
with you hoping to get your
vote for Prom King and
Queen.
When I was dumped by my
original date for the 80s prom
because she had to start her
new job, I decided to do what
they do in Kentucky and took
my sister. Dressed head to toe
in clothes that had me looking
like I just reached 88-mph in a
DeLorean with Doc Brown, I
was ready to rock out with my
left Rubiks cube out. After
two Martz Trailways tickets to
paradise, I arrived at the prom
with my sister.
I should tell people Im
dying so theyll vote for me!
I told my sister in regards to
my agenda to win Prom King
as a write-in favorite of the
night.
What if you get caught?
she worried.
Its not like theyll get Do-
nald Trump to take away my
crown, I replied.
Instead, I spent the entire
prom mingling with bache-
lorette parties and getting them
to vote for me honorably: By
handing out flyers labeled
Justin Brown for Prom
King! Most people thought I
was part of the show and voted
for me.
Just my luck, a new employ-
ee was handling the voting
booth and discarded all votes
for me as she was unaware
write-ins were allowed! When
the winner was announced and
it wasnt me, I was crestfallen.
I asked myself: What would
Molly Ringwald do? Thats
when I stormed out and went
directly to a psychic who told
me I needed to lose 40 pounds.
After losing Prom King at a
fake prom and getting a proph-
ecy that I needed to lose
weight from Madame Jenny
Craig, I learned something:
You cant always get what you
want, but if you try, some-
times, you just might find you
get what you need.
Love,
Justin W
