letter from the editor
If you could vacation anywhere, where would you go?

When I think of Adult Swim, I, of course, think of the late-night mature animation block on Cartoon Network. Because Im a nerd, obviously. Montage Mountain, however, sees things a little bit differently, and frankly, its brilliant. Why should kids have all the fun? Adults like to swim too, and if you put a few drinks in us, we probably think we can tackle the ocean. Montage Mountains Meltdown Water Park now features Adult Swim Nights (more on that on page 19), so with our annual Swimsuit Issue of the horizon, it seemed like a match made in staycation heaven. As always, our photographer and graphic designer Amanda Dittmar knocked it out of the (water) park and gathered a wide variety of models to pose for this years 11-page feature, allowing them to show off their bods as well as Montage. I stopped by the shoot and was amazed at how different the Mountain looks this time of year. If you havent checked it out yet, I suggest you drop the kids off and bring your swimsuit. Or you can watch Adult Swim at home, but until they attract more beautiful women in bikinis, Meltdown may just have CN beat. -Rich Howells, Weekender Editor

Shows keep the spirit of summer alive

Here we are in August. Somehow, summer has passed by quicker than I could possibly have imagined. Back-to-school sales will be starting up soon, offering great deals on No. 2 pencils and loose leaf paper, but dont fret my friends; unbelievable discounts on school supplies does not mean that the fun of summer is over just the nice weather, the breaks from school, and the lackadaisical attitudes. However, if there is ever something to replenish excitement and happiness, its a good a show, and luckily enough, we have two new ones coming up. First, we have a great hardcore show at West Side Park in Nanticoke on September 2. Headlining the show is Richmond, Va.s Breakaway. Breakaway made their debut Wilkes-Barre performance at Redwood Art Space, but since then have released two 7-inches titled The Few That Remain and For Life, released by Solid Bond Records and Mindrot, respectively. They play a style of hardcore that is fast and aggressive, yet lled with lyrics of positive thinking. Upperhand is another band from Richmond, Va., who play a more metalinuenced style of hardcore. Their latest offering, Chains of Shame, brings to mind such crossover bands as post-Cause for Alarm Agnostic Front and Leeway. This is their NEPA debut. Blind Justice rounds out the touring package from the shores of New Jersey. You may remember Blind Justice from their set earlier in the summer in Nanticoke, and for those who were able to see them, you will be happy they are coming back. Blind Justice play hardcore that is reminiscent of my favorite bands when I rst started going to shows, like Mental, taking cues from the early Revelation Records roster and adding other distinct
will be leaving the F.M. Kirby Center after 15 years of service? Marilyn Santarelli, who has served as executive director since 1998. She will retire at the end of this year. Santarelli has served as a member of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts since 2003 and facilitated the Kirby Centers hosting of the prestigious Governors Awards for the Arts in 2006. She oversaw more than $7 million in capital improvements that included the completion of a faade project, installation of an electronic marquis, a remodeled box ofce, energy efcient lighting, and the complete restoration of the Main Lobbies and Theatre. I am incredibly gratied by the outstanding support I have received over the last 15 years from the community, a strong and committed board of directors and a dedicated and hard working team, she said.
is the West Side Blues Band up to? Theyre having a CD release party at the Bakehouse (152 United Penn Plaza, Kingston) on Friday, Aug. 9, from 6-8 p.m. The group will be joined by L.A. guitarist Rick Mayock. There is no cover charge for the show.
avors and grooves, making it all their own. Blind Justice has a new record coming out soon on Back To Back Records. Rounding out the show is the new local band Vice Grip. I wrote about their demo within the last month, but if you havent checked them out yet, now is the perfect time. Vice Grip play a very primitive style of hardcore in an extremely belligerent way. Their demo is out now. Then the next week on September 8, there is a split record release at Gallery of Sound on Mundy Street in Wilkes-Barre. The split 7-inch, featuring new songs from Californias Miserable and Pennsylvanias Grey Zine, is coming out on Run for Cover Records, and both bands will be performing. Miserable is a project done by Kristina, who was the singer of shoegaze outt Whirr, but while Miserable draws from similar inuences, it is completely its own animal. As previously mentioned, their split partners and local natives Grey Zine are also playing. Noise Pet and Myrr Myrr of Washington, D.C., will also be playing the show. Noise Pet, from Wilkes-Barre, are playing our second show, and its Myrr Myrrs rst time in Wilkes-Barre. The show is free and starts at 6 p.m. W
can you catch the third round of Dancing with the NEPA Stars? On Aug. 15 at 5:30 p.m. at the Scranton Cultural Center, American artist Jack Puhl and owner of Studio L.A. Allan Souza will compete. To keep with this years theme, Dancing through the Decades, Puhl, along with partner Laura Boddorff, and Souza, joined by partner Missy Zeroda, will dance to music of the 90s. Fans and event attendees can vote for their favorite prior to the event by visiting scrantonculturalcenter.org. The cost is $1 per vote, with all proceeds beneting the SCC. Online voting closes at midnight on Aug. 15. Entry to the competition is $20, and it is a 21 and over event
is a question many may be asking come Aug. 14, when a well-known local art venue shuts its doors. New Visions Studio & Gallery (201 Vine St., Scranton) recently made the announcement that it will close after three years. There are two nal events planned for the venue: on Aug. 9 at 7:30 p.m., a show with Chet Williams, Eye on Attraction, Family Animals, and In Writing; and on Aug. 10 at 9 p.m., a show with Badtown Rude, The KLAP, Down to Six, and Crock Pot Abduction.
I am incredibly gratified by the outstanding support I have received over the last 15 years from the community, a strong and committed board of directors and a dedicated and hard working team. -Marilyn Santarelli

Learning to love (and rock) the violin JayZ and Timberlake leave Hershey asLegends
By Rich Howells
Weekender editor
TYLER MILES
Weekender Correspondent
REVIEW Jay Z and Justin Timberlake closed out the Legends of Summer tour stop in Hershey Park on Aug. 4 with a surprisingly heartfelt dedication to Trayvon Martin. The duo performed Jay Zs hit single Young Forever from his 2009 album, The Blueprint 3, in memory of the fallen teen whose murder in February of last year brought shock and sadness to the nation and rekindled racial tensions in America. The crowd reacted lovingly to the thoughtful display, with many audience members shedding tears over the course of the song. But these were the only moments that the crowd was subdued during the nearly three-hour show. Before that impressive nale, energy of epic proportions surged through the tightly packed stadium. This energy was no more evident than when the duo rst took the stage, opening with Jay Zs rst single from this years Magna Carta Holy Grail album, Holy Grail. They appeared before colossal screens on opposite sides of the platform, saluting each other and the crowd. They then proceeded through the songs opening, sung by Justin Timberlake, before meeting in the center of the stage, where the heavy beat dropped and Jay Z broke into his verse, sending the crowd into an emphatic roar. The dynamic opening set the tone for the night. There were no opening acts; Timberlake didnt open for Jay Z, as some fans were previously mentioning. Not at all. The two titans stormed the stage together, two heavyweights in the music industry and kings in their respective genres Jay Z in hip-hop and Justin Timberlake in R&B. Masterfully, the duo meshed a few of their songs together, sharing the stage for most of the night and embodying great chemistry. This was evident when Timberlake performed a tribute to the Jackson 5 by emulating Michael Jacksons
David Ragsdale is enjoying his career as the longtime violinist for Kansas, but as a child, he had to be talked into picking up the instrument by his mother. She didnt kind of push me she made it very apparent that thats what I was going to do, he recalled with a laugh. It wasnt gentle and it wasnt voluntary. I didnt care for it at all. As soon as I was larger than her, I said, Listen, Im not going to do this anymore. I want to play the guitar. I always wanted to play the guitar. I was really drawn to the guitar. I was never, ever drawn to the violin. So what changed his mind? Some early inuences, including a friend, and a certain progressive rock band he would later join. About the time I was 16, 17, I started listening to people like Larry Coryell and John McLaughlin, and Steve Morris had just cropped up on the scene and all of a sudden I was realizing that the level of competition that I was going to have to face if I was going to make a profession out of this was pretty severe. I was OK, but these guys were on a completely different plane, Ragsdale told The Weekender. And also, I heard a friend of mine who had practiced his instrument. [Laughs] And he had won a competitionand I went and saw it, and all of a sudden, in one fell swoop, I realized how cool an instrument the violin was. About the same time, I heard Kansas on the radio, and Im almost positive it was either Can I Tell You or Bringing It Back it was one of the more rockin Kansas songs where Robby (Steinhardt) displayed his wares, and all of a sudden I realized, Man, I could play violin in a rock band. It was that foreign a concept back then. No one had ever done it. Another friend convinced him to send tapes of himself playing along with Kansas songs to the group, and after several years, he nally received a call to record with, and later join, the band. Since then, they have toured regularly and

have even joined up with full orchestras, making special use of Ragsdales classical training. The roles pretty much stay the same, but the dynamics change dramatically because most of that stuff is tough enough to do just with us because you get into one of those intricate sections and youve really got to pay attention to whats going on, and you have to know what everyone else is playing because your part weaves in and out of that. So youve really got to be on your toes. Now when you throw a 65-piece orchestra behind you, theres a whole other enormous element with its own intricacies that you have to deal with, he explained. Its tricky, but its a lot of fun. Its the power of the music itself, not just the players, however, that he contributes their continued success to. When you look at all the bands that there were 40 years ago and all of those bands that are left, you realize what an enormous achievement celebrating your 40th anniversaryis, to still be around 40 years later, still doing it at a very high level and still making your living. This isnt something we go out and do four or ve times a year. We average about 80 shows a year, so were still doing this at a pretty high level, he noted. The strength of the players, of the people involved, is certainly remarkable, but the music is wonderful stuff. Most people when they think of Kansas think of Carry On Wayward Son, Dust in the Wind, and Point of Know

Return, which are great, commercially viable songs, but when you get deep into the real Kansas fan, there is some amazing composition in some of those songs. Just really stellar Its going to sound really arrogant of me to say, but its some of the best stuff ever written in rock n roll. It really is. Before celebrating their 40th anniversary with a huge fan appreciation concert in Pittsburgh, Kansas will be stopping at Mt. Airy Casino Resort on Aug. 11 for a night of career-spanning music in one of their favorite states. As for Ragsdale, hes mulling a solo project as well as creating instructional manuals for those who may share his earlier dreams of playing rock music on the violin. Everyone knows when its time to solo, its time to solo, but what do you do the rest of the time? Ive got some answers for that that might intrigue young minds. Or old minds for that matter! he said. Will it inspire kids like him who are reluctant to appreciate their instrument at rst? It might, he afrmed. Theres a lot you can do with a violin. The violin is by and large probably the most expressive instrument on the planet. You can do a million things with it. W
famous dance moves and singing a verse off the groups 1969 classic, I Want You Back, which is sampled in Jay Zs Izzo (H.O.V.A.) off his sixth album, The Blueprint, and opening the oor for Jay Zs verse. For a few songs, such as Jay Zs On to the Next One, Timberlake played the piano, which is featured heavily in the song, while his counterpart rapped to the crowd. Individually though, they both had time to show off their singular talents. Jay Z performed classics such as Jigga What, Jigga Who, where Jay Z showed that he still had it during the songs fast and difcult lyrics, and 99 Problems, which drew a huge response from the crowd for the songs powerful percussion, heavy grunge guitar, and meaningful lyrics, which display Jay Zs masterful storytelling. Timberlake really showed that he belongs in the same conversation as his legendary tourmate, as the singer more than held his own on stage. He deftly performed while holding terric-sounding notes. He truly exercised his vocal range, all while dancing or playing instruments, such as the aforementioned piano, as well as both the acoustic and electric guitar.
The soulful singer dramatically controlled much of the shows pace and ow, slowing it down for soft, mournful songs such as Until the End of Time, and then speeding things up with the summertime banger Summer Love and the rst single from his upcoming fourth studio album, The 20/20 Experience: 2 of 2, Take Back the Night. The latter is a fast-paced dance song with a unique disco sound. Aside from the concerts opening song, Holy Grail, Jay Z performed several newer songs from MCHG, such as Tom Ford and F kWithMeYouKnowIGotIt. An air of condence, class, and eloquence surrounded Jay Z and Timberlake during their time on stage, exemplied when they donned blazers and nonchalantly performed holding glasses of champagne during the nal two songs The duo held nothing back and gave the 30,000 fans in attendance more than their moneys worth during Sunday nights memorable performance at Hersheypark Stadium, the smallest stop along their epic summer tour. The nal show will be on Aug. 16 at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. W

The jazz of Janes Addiction

and make the song relevant at that moment? W: And these songs seem to have real staying power. You still hear them often on radio and TV today. SP: To me, a great song is timeless. The lyrics, the sound, and of course production is going to date us all. That just happens because of the technology, but the melody, whats behind it, the spirit, the spirit of the song I think can be timeless. The music actually dictates how I live, for better or for worse. You put a fast song on and you nd yourself driving fast. So I appreciate the power of music and I alsocan respect bands that have done it every year for 30 years Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. but Janes could never do that. We did four records in 30 years because if its not completely authentic and really real, it doesnt really make sense to spend your time doing art thats just for the cash ow. Thats not what art is. I could work at Guitar Center and sell cymbals if I want to just make money I want to make the art and music. I think thats the key to Janes Addiction, for better or for worse. The work ethic ebbs and ows, but its because of the love of art that it does that. W: Youve played in many other bands and side projects. When youre working on Janes Addiction material, is your creative process different? SP: Absolutely. As a drummer, my bass player list has been just epic. Im just so honored (to have worked with) Rob Wasserman, Tony Franklin, Les Claypool, Flea, Martyn (LeNoble), Mike Watt, Chris Chaney, Eric Avery Ive just been very fortunate to have these really important musicians that have something to say, not just playing a part, and everybody is a different combination on Navarro and me since we were 13, 14 playing, so I cant even explain how that feels. Thats just the perfect matchup of a puzzle. Thats the challenge Janes Addiction always has to me, to make something great and not just, OK, next! I love the hip-hop world because they produce 20 songs a day and maybe one of them is going to change the world, but they dont care they just keep rockin. I dig it, but Janes Addiction couldnt do that If it feels wrong, then were not going to write a song that day. Theres no reason to, especially if we only do three records, four records in 30 years. OK, maybe we wasted $800 on the studio and $500 on the engineer, but was it a waste if we put something out shty? Now thats a real waste. W: Are you working on anything currently, or are you taking that process one day at a time? SP: I would say both. Theres music that we have that I would love to go back and listen to and then tie the shoelace tight and get it back together, but then again put those asleep and gure out where we are today and everything weve been through in the last over six months personally and bring that to the table and write new stuff. I think it can go either way. Theres denitely a lot of music left inside of us. W
The Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival boasts a unique lineup this year, and few bands are more distinctive than progressive rockers Coheed and Cambria. Named after characters central to the ongoing saga told through their music, the New York quartet is eager to share the stage with bands they are friends with or grew up listening to, particularly guitarist Travis Stever, who called The Weekender from a show in Hawaii to discuss their new double album, The Afterman: Ascension and The Afterman: Descension, and its philosophical inspiration. THE WEEKENDER: As a songwriter, are you hearing (singer) Claudio Sanchezs story and then kind of writing the soundtrack to it? TRAVIS STEVER: Most of the time, Claudio will come up with the skeleton of the song, and well all write around that There are those cases where I come up with guitar parts or riffs that hell want to build the song around, and thats not per say making a soundtrack around the concept its the same way that Claudio will write by himself. What we do is whatevers best for the song rst, and the lyrics are telling the concept of the story, but when they kind of combine forces, no matter what, theyre bound to work. Theres nothing fully dictating it. I mean, you could be talking about a war and still be playing a pop song, and somehow it will still work. Youre just painting a different picture on how that war zone or that battle was, or another aspect of it, that person whos thinking of their loved one. W: What made you guys tackle the ambitious double album this time around? TS: There was material being worked on, but as a band and really as the ball started to roll, it prob-
ably took like a year, only a year. Thats why it became a double record because, rst off, we had this material that just kept owing that we were so excited about, and also conceptually with the story and stuff, it would just be too short to clump it into one thing. And then also Claudio had the idea to split it up, which we were all really excited about, because it kind of left it as a sonic cliffhanger give everybody the rst half of the story and give them a to be continued and let it all out in the outcome on the second side, Descension, and eventually everyone will know exactly what happens in the story. There were a lot of reasons why we did it. It just worked. W: The latest set of albums talks a lot about the afterlife. Is that a reection of anything you guys were thinking about at that time? TS: I think its consistently on most peoples minds a lot of the time because they dont really know. And Afterman is a good example of if somebody did nd out, would they be able to handle what it is? You know what I mean? Can you really handle nding out all the answers? And once you do, how are you going to handle the rest of your life, and how are people going to handle you having the biggest discovery in the world? Jealousy, envy. And in order to discover these things, when a man or woman or whatever goes out in search of the unknown, obviously youre going to leave a lot of things behind. Really its just questioning all the different things that we go through as humans, and the afterlife is one of those ultimate concerns and questions for
everybody who lived. Afterman is my favorite part of The Amory Wars being that its almost like a prequel to the prequel its the origin of what the Amory Wars is. Its probably my favorite part of it because I can relate to it the most. Im one of those people that a lot of questioning goes on in my mind about our existence, as it does with a lot of people. W: With an ongoing story and comic book tie-ins with the bands music, are you as much of a sci- fan as Claudio is? TS: No, not really. Honestly, before the show and everything came around, I was very into The Walking Dead (comics) and I collected all those. I got into that through him. I got into things throughout the years. As a kid, of course I loved Batman, but its not as much my world. Being a comic book writer and a story writer in general, for Claudio, thats his world. For me personally, Im more on the side of music, like bands and stuff like that, reading books and rock stars biographies. I spent my whole upbringing very much a pop culture vulture. W: What is it going to be like for you to share the stage with Janes Addiction and Alice In Chains? TS: Its going to be f king awesome. We grew up listening to Janes and Alice In Chains, and Circa Survive are our really good friends, and theres other really great bands on the other stages as well. As for our stage alone, Janes Addiction was the rst concert I took my now-wife to. I think I was 19 or I was turning 19. W

When the average listener turns up Janes Addiction, they may not hear the jazz inuences buried within, but Stephen Perkins interprets each beat much differently. To Perkins, the groundbreaking alternative rock group is the very denition of jazz, so when The Weekender caught up with the drummer before his band kicks off the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival on Aug. 9 at Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton, he delved into that inuence, why the band and its music has lasted through its various public breakups, and the artistic process. THE WEEKENDER: How has jazz played a role in Janes Addictions sound? STEPHEN PERKINS: Well, its pretty serious because Janes Addiction, to me, its always been four guys that are into four different things. Back when the band started, me and (guitarist Dave) Navarro were into hotshot metal we wanted to show off our chops. (Former bassist) Eric (Avery) and (singer) Perry (Farrell) were into Joy Divisionless showy, but more drama, lets say. That was the marriage of the early Janes Addiction. Me and Dave were into the metaland Perry and Eric saying, Lets write some songs that really have some depth. Thats the sound of the rst record. If you look at us and you kind of just break it down, Navarro is more into industrial, Nine Inch Nails Im more into Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead where its organic and the music breathes and heaves and hoes. Perry is into dance music, four-on-the-oor. We all, even now, are into different things. And in a sense, that is jazz, you know? Bringing these different elements and making music together. In the sense of jazz, in the spirit of improvising, pulling from the moment, being in the moment, Mountain Song was written in 86 when I was 17. Playing Mountain Song now at 46, what does it mean? How do I take my days experience, my lifes experience,

Mock Sun debut a masterpiece

Mock Sun is a band that dees easy categorization. The best you could do is call it experimental music, but doing that does the WilkesBarre based duo (consisting of vocalist Jami Kali and multiinstrumentalist Mark Wohl) a great disservice. There tends to be a half-true belief among casual listeners that experimental often translates to unlistenable, overly intellectual noise. Fortunately, on the bands long-awaited rst full-length, Hungry Mother (ofcially out this Friday), Mock Sun always retains a strong sense of soul, melody, and emotional intensity. Its not dance oor music, admittedly, but, as threads of dissonance weave between heady layers of acoustic rawness and electronic ambience, the energies unleashed stay fully focused on slinking into your skin, through your pores, into your blood, to make you move your body. Tracks such as Cosmic Innite Departure and Dr. Gnostic transition from jaunty to urgent to melancholy on a dime, all while having a kind of fairground ballyhoo charisma to them. Meanwhile, tracks such as Wild Eyed Groove and While You Were Away hover in deep-space orbit, emanating sad, funereal menace. Then there are tracks such as Earth Witness and Mind
Hive, which bring the dirty bounce of grunge and classic blues to the fore. Throughout, Wohl builds a nuanced, jazz-inspired latticework soundscape of shimmery guitar and tribal rhythms, which acts as a trampoline launching Kalis hallucinogenic lyrics and hypnotic vocals a mix of Edie Brickell, Shannon Hoon, and Layne Staley into the stratosphere. The overall sound is a slippery, genre-bending fever dream of folk, twee-pop and psychedelia peppered with spoken word passages and mindaltering production effects. Staunchly defying easy categorization, the best way to describe Hungry Mother is simply as a twisting, haunting, sensual masterpiece. -Bill Thomas, Weekender Correspondent

Moreland and Arbuckle take musical journey

The Kansas-based duo Moreland and Arbuckle is something of an anomaly in the blues/rock world a constantly evolving, musically challenging entity that doesnt rely on the standards of the genres storied past in order to survive. On the bands fth album, 7 Cities, they add new drummer Kendall Newby to foster a fresh sense of rock-edged
discharge to their harmonica/guitar attack (thats right, no bass needed) and produce one of the few Delta bluesinuenced concept albums in existence. Chronicling the journey of Spanish explorer Coronados search for the elusive Seven Cities of Gold the odyssey passing through Moreland and Arbuckles stomping grounds in the Midwest Kansas prairies the album is as instrumentally volatile as it is thematically ambitious. Opening track Quivira gives a rst-person account of Coronados possible headspace during his trek vocalist Dustin Arbuckle bleeds sympathy for a dejected human being who never achieved his lofty goals (There was no gold to speak of, so I hung my head and cried). Aaron Morelands overdriven, open-tuned guitar grime adds a re of urgency to the deeply personal interpretation of the story. The albums production, handled by Matt Bayles, who has worked with heavies like Mastodon, is sonically dense and layered in calloused, roots-infused jangle. The Devil and Me, a British Invasioninuenced, three-chord heartland garage rocker, further examines Coronados recess of mind, with Arbuckle seeming to endishly smirk the lyrics, My hearts black, darling, sos my soul. The band delves into progressive-leaning country territory with Broken Sunshine, a heart-worn track lled with emotive shades of gray, twanging without mercy until around the three-minute mark, where its jam time from there on out.- Mark Uricheck, Weekender Correspondent

After spending most of his decade-long recording career as one of R&Bs journeymen a sensuous crooner with the occasional crossover hit Thicke has exploded into pops consciousness with Blurred Lines: its the undeniable song of the summer and may turn out to be the single of the year. The Marvin Gaye-inected, sex-lled
dance groove (and its naughty video counterpart) has become a cultural ashpoint, sparking parodies, commentaries, endless radio replays, and an unknown number of hookups. Thicke has always created cohesive albums that are remarkably underrated; with his sixth album being released as its title track continues on its path to world domination, Thicke may nally get the audience his songs deserve. With 11 tracks, Blurred Lines is tightly woven but still manages to bring different avors, from electronic dance music to R&B anthems to between-the-sheets grooves. Thicke wrote or co-wrote every track, and while he enlists Pharrell for Blurred Lines and has names like Dr. Luke and will.i.am as contributors, he remains the star of his own show. Thicke charms throughout, whether hes using a sexy falsetto, smooth tenor or even a few raps, which he does fairly well on the retro-sounding Top of the World (showing hes learned something from those numerous Lil Wayne pairings). He even succeeds when his lyrics fail, like some cringe-worthy attempted come-ons on the disco-ball whirring electrobeat tune Give It 2 U (Kendrick Lamar does a much better job with his verses, thankfully). With Blurred Lines, Thickes path to musics top spot should be clear from now on. -Nekesa Mumbi Moody, Associated Press

Phoenix raises first NEPA production ofSpamalot

By Sara Pokorny
quest for the Holy Grail to be an example. They run into Frenchies who catapult a cow at them, the Knights Who Say Ni, the Black Knight, and Tim the Enchanter with his Killer Rabbit. W: Does the stage show differ from the lm? LL: Of course the big difference is the musical numbers, but it is similar in the plot. W: As a director, were there any challenges for you with this show? LL: This show is very costume, prop, and set heavy, making it very difcult for a small community theatre. The show is very detailed and specic in what it requires to do a professional production. I searched the Internet for authentic props and helmets, our costume directors made the knights tunics, and we had our resident artist draw and paint each Knights outt by hand to match exactly to the Broadway production. We also had one of our costumers mothers hand crochet the chainmail shirts for the knights. We have gone all out for this production, paying attention to the smallest details. W: How about as a choreographer? LL: The musical numbers were very challenging. We started the choreography before even blocking the show and worked on them for weeks. Each musical number is bigger than the last. It is a very dance heavy show with a lot Courtesy Photo of chaos in Many of the costumes for Phoenixs Spamalot each numwere handmade to match the Broadway produc- ber. There is always tion. Its not a horse, just two coconuts banging together to make the sound of one. Theres a guy named Tim the Enchanter who touts a Killer Rabbit. People get slapped in the face with sh. Yet, its all typical, at least for the stage show of Monty Pythons Spamalot. This weekend is the opening for the show at the Phoenix Performing Arts Centre in Duryea. It is lovingly ripped off from the 1975 lm Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a comedy that captured three Tony Awards and 14 nominations. This production will be the rst in the area. The Weekender caught up with Lee LaChette, artistic director at the PAC and director and choreographer for the show, about the organized madness that is Spamalot. THE WEEKENDER: What is Spamalot all about? LEE LACHETTE: Its about King Arthur and his sidekick Patsy searching for Knights of the Round Table. As he rides his horse through the land (which is just a pair of dried coconut shells clanking together that Patsy makes sound like a horse), he hooks up with the zaniest knights that becomes his troop.

The choreography is almost exact to what was done in the Broadway production. It was a lot of hard work, but we had a lot of fun doing it. W: Why do you think Spamalot is such a hit with audiences? LL: The show is just so much fun. When I saw it in preview a month before it opened, we laughed through the entire show. It is just hilarious Monty Python humor. It captures you right from the opening straight through to the end, with never a dull moment. The musical numbers will have you tapping your feet in your seat. I knew after seeing it that someday I was going to direct and choreograph this show. It is truly a choreographers dream to do this many big dance numbers in one show with a touch of hilarious. Ive waited three years for their touring to end to get the licensing for this show, and it was well worth the wait. We are so proud to be the rst in Northeast Pennsylvania to premier this show. W: Whats your favorite thing about the show? LL: Everything. There is nothing in this show that I dont love. The whole concept, humor, songs, and dances are my favorite. I cant pick just one thing. I had a blast with the whole show. These young adults are so amazing; you will not want to miss it. W

Amish Comic raises spirits,not barns

biLL THOmAS Weekender Correspondent
If youre ever having trouble guring out how to take a picture with a friends smartphone, word of advice: Dont ask the Amish guy. Its not that he doesnt know how. Hes just more entertained watching you fumble around helplessly. If you have your phone, you know how to work it, but as soon as someone hands their friend their phone and says, Quick, take a picture, you get all trembly. Your shoulders drop down and you go, Ha ha, it must be because of the Amish guy. Hell no, dont blame me because your dumb ass doesnt know how to work a phone. So says Raymond the Amish Comic. Admittedly not your average Amish guy, Raymond left that life behind years ago, trading in his farming tools for a 23-year career on the stand-up comedy circuit including a headlining performance at The Gravity Inn in Waymart this Friday and a devoted Pennsylvanian fan base. Before he ever made a dime making people laugh, however, humor was an icebreaker, a way for Raymond to connect with a world so unlike the one he was raised in. Its not like I was plowing the elds thinking, Hey, Im a pretty funny farmer. I can get a gig at a nightclub if I just crossed the street, Raymond says, explaining how he began slinging quips to alleviate tension while working at a screen printing business following his exodus from Amishland. At his coworkers insistence, he began to call in to a local radio show to crack jokes onair. From there, the transition to stand-up was natural. My career was an accident, but I work harder doing stand-up than Ive ever worked at anything in my life. And it doesnt even feel like work. A self-described cursing ranter, Raymond cites Lewis Black and Lenny Bruce as inspirations. Back when he was still nding his footing, though, one icon of comedy inuenced Raymond in a

Yes, the rumors are true. You can absolutely bring a bucket of beer with you right into the lazy river. Just float along and have a drink, said Sarah Farrell, director of marketing at Montage Mountain, with a laugh. This is just one (though it seems to be the most popular) of the perks of the Adult Swim Nights that Montage Mountain Meltdown Water Park holds. The next one is scheduled for Aug. 8, followed by the final two on Aug. 15 and 22, all from 6-10 p.m. Adult Swim Nights are 21 and over events that allow an older crowd to take advantage of all the park has to offer, from the high-flying zip rider to the thrilling Iceberg Alley Luge. People are looking for something fun and different to do for a night out in the summer, Farrell said. We get parents who bring their kids up during the day and want a night to relax, we get members of local businesses stopping by after work for a happy hour type event. Weve been able to reach a whole new crowd of people with this. An admission price of $10 gets attendees in and includes complimentary food, such as pizza and burritos. Drink specials run throughout the night (that everenticing bucket of beer can be bought for $8, containing six eight-ounce cans of Coors Light), and this week both Jumpin Jeff Walker from 98.5 KRZ and EJ the DJ will provide music at both ends of the park. At 9 p.m. this Thursday, Montage will be shutting the lights off in the wave pool and handing out glow sticks for a glow stick photo shoot. There are also plenty of games to play to keep you entertained, involving hula hoops, balloons, and even life-sized beer pong. The Aug. 15 edition of Adult Swim Night will be the Peach Festival version, featuring Rusted Root playing right in the park. There is also complimentary admission for all Montage Mountain employees with provided identification. W

more direct way. One of the rst big shows I ever did was at the Rajah Theater in Reading, which seats about 2,000 people. The show was sold out for reasons I still havent gured out. Id never been in front of a crowd that big, Raymond recalled. Nowadays, while Raymond still references newsworthy Amish events (such as the success of TV shows such as Amish Maa and Breaking Amish), much of his material focuses more on our increasingly high-tech society. Dont worry. Hes not playing the part of technophobic preacher, as one might expect. In fact, Raymond is an outspoken Apple addict who maintains a constant presence on Facebook and Twitter, plays Candy Crush Saga obsessively, and spends his downtime watching sobad-its-good B-movies like Nude Nuns with Big Guns on Netix.

Grand Master Willis
Kacy Muir | Weekender Correspondent
As a young girl I was fascinated by science ction. Bound to a world of time travel and dystopia with far away lands, magical properties and characters that established belonging and exploration of the world I have come to know, as well as the worlds I have not. Connie Willis, author of recent anthology, The Best of Connie Willis: AwardWinning Stories, was one of the rst authors to start that love affair. The anthology is comprised of over 40 years of Willis works that have captured readers everywhere. In many ways, it would be difcult to consider yourself a science ction reader without having come across Willis, who has awed the world with such works as Doomsday Book and twopart series, Blackout and All Clear. From the very beginning, Willis has been awarded numerous Hugo and Nebula Awards. In addition, she was inducted by the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and honored with the Grand Master title in 2011. In Willis introduction, she discusses her rst experience with science ction after rummaging through titles at her local library: Stories about robots and time-travelers and aliens, and stories about cold equations of the physical universe and the hidden costs of technological advance, about the endless difculty of determining what a human is and how to be one. Science ction in all her innite variety, spread out like a feast in front of me. Similar to many authors Willis considered inuential, her work also shares similar commonalities regarding themes of time travel and satire. However, she is most notable for her eccentric characters and absurd situations. Humor aside, not all of the stories are ridiculous; some waver from inquisi-

tive to frightening and disconcerting. Having only chosen a small amount of stories from a very extensive list, Willis has skillfully given readers a varying degree of themes, characters, environments and conclusions. Some of the best in the compilation include Death on the Nile, The Soul Selects Her Own Society, Fire Watch, and The Last of the Winnebagos. Following each of the stories, Willis then offers an afterword that resonates in circular motion to her introduction Telling where you got the idea for each story is usually a terrible letdown and doesnt really explain anything. Throughout the collection, readers gain a better understanding of not only Willis work, but also her wit, modesty and imagination.

2 Gunssimply not enough

REVIEW
Rating: W The common defense with movies like 2 Guns, a buddy-buddy blow em up, is that you have to let your brain go slack and enjoy the spectacle. I can go for that, but not when the plot is constructed with the same kind of effort reserved for grocery lists. Built on the sweat of a dozen better movies, director Baltasar Kormkur turns the knob to 11 and dares us to hate his latest effort. No problem there. Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg star, respectively, as Bobby Trench and Michael Stigman. Trench is a DEA agent; Stigman is a naval intelligence ofcer. The two men rob a smalltown bank, thinking theyre a step closer to busting a drug lord (Edward James Olmos). Instead, they enter into a world of trouble. Trench and Stigman think the other is the bad guy, a ruse that is lifted when the two face-off post-getaway. Once the misunderstandings are ironed out and proper introductions are made, the reluctant partners discover theyve actually stolen, and misplaced, $41 million that belongs to the CIA. They need to nd the money and gure out who has set them up before theyre killed by one of several angry, well-armed parties. 2 Guns is a cartoon Trench and Stigman survive bullets, car wrecks, and repeated blows to the gut with a metal rod but its a joyless and derivative one.

BEER REVIEWS
I dont know about you, but I love a good book and I also love a good beer, so what could be better than a combination of the two? During this craft beer renaissance we have had the opportunity to try many new and exciting beers, but we are also fortunate that there are now vast libraries of books related to beer available today. Books ranging from homebrew recipes of favorite commercial beers to beer and food pairings to the history of certain breweries are all at our ngertips literally, if youre reading on a tablet device. Here is a nice starter list of great beer related books with brief introductions to each. The Audacity of Hops by Tom Acitelli: This is a brand new and fantastic book if you are looking for a great history lesson on the current craft beer market. It has in-depth looks at some of your favorite current breweries and is a fascinating and quick read. It will arm you with a great amount of historical knowledge to drop during your next trip to the bar. The author also discusses the subject matter more from a business perspective than from that of a beer fanatic, giving the book a more authentic feel, making it more enjoyable overall. The Craft of Stone Brewing Co.: Liquid Lore, Epic Recipes, and Unabashed Arrogance by Greg Koch: This is the compendium of everything Stone Brewing related and it is fantastic. Not only does this cover the history of how Stone came to be and grew to become the fantastic craft beer company that it is today, but it also includes recipes from its world-renowned caf (try the Garlic, Cheddar, and Ruination soup), and if that wasnt enough, it also includes recipes for nearly all of their fantastic beers. (Arrogant Bastard recipe not included.) Tasting Beer: An Insiders Guide to the
Drink up the summer

Beer: Oberon Ale Brewer: Bells Brewery, Inc. Style: American Pale Wheat Ale ABV: 5.80% Description: Bells Oberon Ale pours a golden copper color with pure white head that dissipates quickly, but leaves a nice thick lacing on the glass. The aroma is strong in the fruit category; notes of oranges, lemons, pears, and apples dominate and are backed up with a sweet wheat aroma and just a hint of breadiness and spice. The taste follows the nose exactly with strong avors of citrus, wheat, and hints of bread cascading over the tongue initially, trailed quickly by the spices and even a slight hint of apricot, before nishing up nice and dry, mainly due to the high carbonation of this beer. The body of this beer leans more towards the mid-range with a bit more heft than many wheat beers, but not overbearing. If this was porridge, Goldilocks would have chosen it, but thankfully its beer and its great. Oberon is a very lively summer beer that refreshes the body and palate after a hot summer day. Food pairing: Seeing as Oberon Ale is a summer ale it should be no surprise that this beer is perfect for your favorite summer dishes. Try Oberon Ale with your favorite salad, especially those topped with fruit; think berries or peaches and topped with a light vinaigrette for a truly inspiring summer afternoon lunch. If you are feeling more like a dinner pairing, think grilled chicken topped with some rosemary, thyme, and a squeeze of lemon with a side of corn on the cob with butter. The sweet-
Derek Warren | Weekender Correspondent
Worlds Greatest Drink by Randy Mosher: Handsdown one of the best books ever written about the topic of beer. This book breaks all the beers down into a variety of styles, gives short historical overviews, and has selections of great beers to try in each style. Mosher also examines what glassware to use with each beer, suggested food pairings, and goes into great detail on how one truly tastes beer, hence the name. Read this and you will experience beer in a whole new, and amazing, way. How to Brew: Everything You Need To Know To Brew Beer Right the First Time by John Palmer: Are you interested in getting into the fantastic hobby of brewing your own beer but dont know where to start? Then pick up this wonderful book by Palmer. The science of brewing is discussed in a manner that is not going to go over your head if you are new to the hobby, but is indepth enough that you will
be able to brew great beer right away. A Year in Food and Beer: Recipes and Beer Pairings for Every Season by Emily Baime and Darin Michaels: This little book is great to have around the house for use throughout the year. There are some fantastic pairing suggestions, along with delicious recipes. What makes this book even more interesting is how it is separated into seasons for easy reference points throughout the year. There is also a chapter dedicated to beer and cheese pairings. A very good reference book to have in the kitchen at all times. No matter what book you decide to read make sure you have a beer on hand as any of these selections will quickly make you very thirsty. Just be sure to choose something a little lower in the ABV, otherwise, you wont be reading for very long. W
ness of the corn will be brought forth when paired with the great wheat ale. Other great pairings include: salmon, Camembert cheese, and sushi. Is it worth trying? Yes, Bells Brewery is positively a brewery that you can always rely on to create fantastic beers. While this is not my favorite style of beer, Bells has unquestionably made a very enjoyable wheat ale that is perfect for the summer. While lately the summer weather is not nearly as oppressive as it has typically been, and actually has been almost fall-like in the evenings, this summer ale is great to have on hand. Drink up and enjoy what is left of the summer,
because before you know it you will be drinking pumpkin beers and then on to winter, and youll be looking back longingly on beers like Oberon Ale while dreaming of the warm summer months. Rating: W W W W Where can I get it? Currently available in bottles at: J & H Beer, WilkesBarre; Exit 190 Beer Deli, Dickson City; Goldsteins Deli, Kingston; Wegmans, Dickson City; and Krugels Georgetown Deli, Wilkes Barre.

Weekender Staff Writer
Scranton has been put on the map, once again, and this time around, its being recognized for something good and downright delicious. Last week, the What the Fork food truck had a crazy seven days after the announcement that they had made it from the list of Top 10 food trucks in the nation according to LIVE with Kelly and Michael to the Top 4. From the Top 4, a round of voting pushed the truck to the Top 2, sending them ying to New York City last minute to tape a cookoff with the other top competitor, Mustache Mobile, an eatery touting its cheesesteaks from New Jersey. On Aug. 1, What the Fork served up its now-famous pulled pork tacos to the judges celebrity chefs/ restaurateurs Josh Capon, Andrew Carmellini, and Jean-George Vongerichten as well as producer Michael Gelman and members of the audience. Though What the Fork knew the outcome that morning, they had to stay tightlipped until the next day, when the winner was announced. What the Fork nabbed second
Ralphie Aversa | Special to the Weekender
By Sara Pokorny
TravelinTrain
Train has kept its wheels rolling with various summer tour stops, pausing to reflect on the passing of a friend with Ralphie.
The band Train took its Mermaids of Alcatraz tour to Dallas last weekend. Pat Monahan was looking forward to hanging out with two old friends: Columbia Records EVP of Promotion Lee Leipsner and radio host Kidd Kraddick. But the beloved host of Kidd Kraddick In The Morning died on July 27 at the age of 53. Monahan, along with his band mates Scott Underwood and Jimmy Stafford, were saddened by the news. Kidd has been a big supporter of Train for our whole career, Monahan noted in an interview which aired last week on The Ralphie Show. Hes been in this business a lot longer than we have. The timing of Kraddicks passing hurt Monahan even more. Any loss is sad, but to know you were moments away from seeing an old friend, and now you cant, the lead singer said. Our hearts go out to his family. Leipsner told All Access that the band would pay tribute to Kraddick at the Gexa Energy Pavilion. Train is currently playing outdoor venues with The Script and Gavin DeGraw in tow. Also sharing the stage with the San Francisco-based artists is country singer/songwriter Ashley Monroe. The songstress is featured on the next single from California 37, Bruises. We asked (Ashley) two years ago to sing Bruises with us, Monahan
revealed. We didnt know if radio stations like that around the United States would embrace a country artist. So far, so good. The Hey, Soul Sister, singer is pleasantly surprised. Its our favorite song on the record, he said. The fact that people are responding to it the way that they are its a great ending to this album cycle. With that, Monahan also breaks the news that this fourth single from the LP will likely be the last. Trains proper tour ends in mid-August. The band will play a handful of fairs and festivals through September 1, and then gear up for the Sail Across The Sun Cruise next February. As for Trains lost friend, a private service was held last Friday for David Kidd Kraddick. Plans for a public service have not been announced. On Monday, his morning show continued on 97 BHT with co-hosts Kellie Rasberry, Big Al Mack, Jose J-Si Chavez, Jenna Page, and Shannon Murphy.

place and $5,000, yet Mario Bevilacqua and crew feel this was a win, on all accounts. We caught up with Bevilacqua after the announcement was made to chat about the experience. THE WEEKENDER: Last week was a whirlwind you moved up in the competition very quickly and then suddenly found yourselves in New York on Thursday taping. What was that like for you? M A R I O BEVILACQUA: It was great because we had no time to get nervous. We found out, got our truck cleaned head to toe, grabbed some gas, and took off. It all happened so quickly we didnt really comprehend what an impact it would have. W: Did you nd out who won on Thursday as you taped, and was it difcult to keep that under wraps? MB: We found out Thursday morning. It was very hard to keep it from family and friends that had supported us from day one and have voted and shared. It certainly would have been harder if we had a $20,000 check to come home with! W: Whats the most
valuable thing you learned from this whole experience? MB: To remain humble. Katie, James and I cant walk into any public establishment without being recognized and applauded. Its very important to myself and #TeamFORK to stay grounded and keep the focus on the food and customer service, which got us to this point. W: What was the most memorable part of the whole experience? MB: The opportunity to have a world-known, unbelievably talented, three Michelin starred restaurateur taste my creation. W: You were awarded $5,000 for the secondplace prize. What are you going to do with that money? MB: Already blew it at Mount Airy Casino! Ha ha, just kidding. Giving all my staff a bonus and applying the rest towards the next truck. W: Anything you would like to say to WTFork fans? To your employees? To anybody? MB: Thank you. Thank you for voting, thank you for supporting, and thank you for helping my team and I have that once-in-alifetime experience and the 15 minutes of fame. W
What the Fork made it to the Top 2 spot of food trucks in the nation on LIVE with Kelly and Michael, receiving a massive amount of new exposure in the process.

Youll fall forTowerFall

TOWERFALL
System: Ouya Genre: Action Developer: Matt Thorson Publisher: Matt Thorson A few weeks ago, I reviewed the new Ouya game system. Now there may be a good reason to pick up the console with TowerFall. TowerFall was created by a one-man studio (Matt Thorson) for release on the Ouya, and it has become an overnight sensation. At its core, TowerFall is an archery combat game supporting one to four players. A fourplayer match feels very similar to Super Smash Bros., the combat in the game is very fast and furious, and the gameplay is very simple and accessible. Players have three abilities: shoot, move, and jump, but with the small game boards and quick deaths, you have to really think quickly to stay alive and win matches. Each game board is a static screen, and the characters can jump around avoiding obstacles and trying to shoot the other competitors with arrows. Each arrow can be a very precious commodity because not only do they kill your enemy with one hit, but you only get four arrows to start with. It is possible to ration them, however, because you can pull them out of the walls and out of corpses that litter the battleeld. Along with the regular arrows, there are treasure chests that appear periodically with all sorts of different kinds of arrows to try out. All of the powers and arrow types you can nd really add a lot of depth and strategy to the game. Some of the powers include shields, wings, exploding arrows, and many others. There are also several tricks that can be found on the game boards themselves, such as warping tunnels and hiding spots you can use to your advantage. Each trick and power-up make the game more interesting and frantic; because of the one-hit kills, you really have to make good use of each power-up you nd and decide whether it is worth it. Making a run to get the power-up might get you killed. The single player mode in TowerFall is very similar to a puzzle game; you have to smash targets within a certain amount of time. This can be very tough in some of the levels. One thing this accomplishes is it gives you a lot of practice at moving around the game board quickly and hitting targets while moving; this can be very handy when playing multiplayer. Right now, there are about 21 single player puzzle missions, but there are reports that there are more to come. The way this game really shines is in the multiplayer. Not only can you play the standard matches with up to four players, but there are about 20 ways you can change the rules of each of the game maps, such as exploding corpses, starting with one arrow instead of three, etc. There are also 70

games maps to choose from, with many different types of themes and obstacles. You and your friends can play for a very long time and never see the same game board twice. Another really interesting feature is the instant replay system; you can really rub a victory in your friends face by showing them the instant replay, if you are into that sort of thing. Just like the rest of the Ouya games, you can try a demo of the game for free or buy the full version for $14.99. If you have some friends to play with, I denitely suggest downloading the full version of the game because it is one of most fun multiplayer games I have played in a while. TowerFall has no story, and the graphics look like a NES game
straight out of 1984, but if you can get past those limitations, you will nd a true hidden gem of a game. Just playing the demo single player, I enjoyed this game a great deal, but I was really sold when I played the multiplayer. If you are looking for a good reason to buy an Ouya, this may be it. If not, there will be a PC release of this game later on this year. If you are looking for a fun, old school action platforming game, then you should at least try the demo. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. -Robbie Vanderveken is the digital operations specialist at The Times Leader. E-mail him at r v a n d e r v e k e n@ t i m e s leader.com. W

Are hookups and booty calls the new dating?
In Katy Perrys 2011 song Last Friday Night, the pop songstress sings about waking up with a stranger: shes hung over from the night before, trying to make sense of what happened and how she arrived in her situation. She implies that she and her mystery man had sex, and that their interaction will end there. Among my generation, Millennials (born between the early 1980s and early 2000s), hookups are the norm, and Perry, who is herself a Millennial, embodies the hookup ethos better than anyone through her song lyrics. That sexual intercourse can take place in an array of contexts including marriage, committed relationships, friends with benets scenarios, and one-night stands is well known. According to a study published last year by the American Psychological Association, 20 percent of sexual intercourse cases involve people who know each other but were not in a relationship, and another 15 percent involved people having sex who did not know each other previously. So, what are hookups, and how do they differ from other forms of intimacy? Dened as a brief sexual encounter among individuals who are not romantic partners or dating each other, hookups dening qualities are brevity and non-commitment. Others call this form of interaction booty call relationships. In this way, hookups and booty calls are both lowinvestment sexual activities, the ultimate free ride, allowing two people (or many, if youre into that sort of thing) to have sex without sticking around. Traditional forms of relationships and courting
Stop and smell The ins and outs of outlets the what?!
Last Saturday, I was sitting on a bench in Public Square taking in a few glorious hours of people watching. I was casually sipping on my Dunkin iced coffee when a very heated couple standing a few yards away started screaming at each other. Being the nosy, other-peoples-dramaloving person that I am, I decided to take a listen. The girl was yelling at her boyfriend, accusing him of cheating. He went out Friday night and didnt answer his phone. I have heard this argument a hundred times, but then the unthinkable happened. She asked to smell his dk. To me, this is a perplexingly odd request. If I was so certain that a guy was being unfaithful that Id be willing to sniff him like a hunting dog, Id just count my losses and leave. As someone who needs to stay on the forefront of dating and relationship trends, I started doing some research. To my shock and amazement, I discovered this is not an uncommon request. I recently went with a friend to the set of Maury for an interview. While watching a few tapings, I couldnt help but notice that this became a recurring request from the women yelling at their cheating baby daddies. Does it make for good TV or is this common practice? It rolled off their tongues as nonchalantly as asking to bum a cigarette. Upon further investigation, I also discovered there is a YouTube video addressing this very subject. It is a music video for a song called Smell Your Dk. This masterpiece about a scorned woman and unfaithful lover surely must have been an inspiration to many; it ended up being featured on Tosh.0. Would you really want your 15 minutes of fame to be a song about this? I started asking around. Have I been out of the committed relationship loop so long that this is now the new norm and accepted practice? Do we no longer crazily go through mens phones or stalk their Facebook, instead skipping right to seeking the scent of another woman? We no longer live in the land where the cheating spouse comes home with the telltale lipstick on his collar. Instead, it seems we have been forcedto turn ourselves into CSI agents or Basset Hounds. Call me old fashioned. Maybe I am unhip to todays methods of discovery, but I have no desire to smell it. Other woman or not, its not a particularly pleasant smelling organ to begin with. If I think youre cheating, you dont deserve me. Women of the world, nd your condence. Stand tall and secure in your relationship. And nally, if youre going to request a whiff, see if it is the relationship that stinks, not the dk. W Nothing gets my blood pumping like seeing a billboard for an outlet mall. Especially when Im on an impromptu road trip with the hubby. Thats right ladies, I caught a man who likes to shop. Lets start with a little history, shall we? At rst, outlet or factory stores were usually attached to the companys warehouse, just like the Lord & Taylor outlet in Wilkes-Barre. Half of the shopping space is retail shopping at ridiculously low prices for designer clothing, while the other gated-off half houses visible conveyer belts and boxedup product. Outlet shopping was born in the 1930s when factories would offer less than perfect goods at a discount price to their employees. In 1974, Vanity Fair opened up the rst outlet shopping center in the country in Reading, Pa. The public was now in on all the great factory deals, and the product sold wasnt just factory excess or oopsies they offered a wide variety of items for a fraction of the original cost. The not-so-bright side of outlet shopping is that the products are usually last seasons looks (which isnt the end of the world, especially if you arent buying trendy), and some products are made specically for the outlet so that slashed price tag you see may be a phony starting price to make you feel like you are getting a better deal. But if the price is right, who cares? Most outlets are located in a rural area, not in a big city or in close proximity to the original store. This is probably a strategic move. If you travel an hour to the outlets, you will most likely stay for the day, which leads to more purchases. Also, the rent is cheaper Whatever you do Check out Lord & Taylor Outlet and Clearance Center in Wilkes-Barre.

have been changing for decades, with fewer people courting each other for long-term commitments like marriage. Widespread and dominate, hookups are, I submit, a way of testing a potential partner, seeing if they can be, indeed, relationship material. To the regret of some, the traditional date is in many ways on the path to extinction. To be clear, hookups and booty calls, though increasing in popularity, are still not practiced among the majority. Also, arguably, nothing good or bad can be said about this phenomenon. Its simply a description of what is an observation of how people behave. I dont necessarily endorse hookups and booty calls, nor do I mean to suggest that I am some promiscuous jerk by bringing light to this subject. Though, in some ways, I do like the traditional date. With the right person, traditional dates are a lot of fun. They offer people an opportunity to relax and have fun while getting to know each other in the process. But I do recognize, however, that the emotional and relational winds have been shifting for quite some time, and its better to get on the wagon than be left behind. Finally, to ask the question Are hookups and booty calls better than the traditional date? is to dive into a one of the major dilemmas of modern dating, a question that does not readily yield an answer. But, then again, you might be able to ask Katy Perry. W
for the mega store location. Most stores in an outlet mall are legit outlet shops, but there are also regular stores within the outlet mall. These stores will have the same prices and items as your local mall dont assume the prices will be lower. If you have small children to buy for, most childrens outlet shops have amazing deals. Gymboree, Carters, and GAP are running some great promotions this week at the Crossings Premium Outlets in Tannersville. You can also check a specific outlet website for weekly sales and deals. Now is the best time for outlet shopping since we are heading into fall and back-to-school deals are everywhere you look. W

BREW NATION Pro-nationalism english defence League activists seemed to be itching for a street brawl to break up a scheduled anti-nationalist demonstration in downtown Birmingham, england, on July 18, causing the city to mobilize more than 1,000 police when officials arrived at a solution. Police shepherded hundreds of rowdy edL operatives into the popular Bar Risa pub at 11 a.m., confining them for three hours, until the anti-edL rally had dissipated. (given British habits, many edLers decided to enjoy their confinement with a brew.) as a result, police reported only sporadic street scuffling. (Bar Risa, perturbed by police pressure to host alleged fascists, donated its profits to the Midlands air ambulance service.) CULTURAL DIVERSITY For beach season in Qingdao, China, recently, middle-aged ladies returned to the shore of the yellow sea sporting their relatively revealing (though ageappropriate) bathing suits but wearing distinctive cloth hoods with tiny holes only for the eyes, nose and mouth. to many in China, dark skin still signals laborers and fair skin the indoor leisure class, according to a July report on the business website Quartz. In shenzhen, China, one of the countrys richest cities, services are being openly advertised by wet nurses to supply adults with breast milk, either directly from the source or after pumping (and purchased by either the infirm or just rich people overconcerned with nourishment). these milk suppliers can earn at least four times the average personal income, with healthy, attractive women earning even more, of course, according to a July agence France-Presse dispatch. Comments on Chinas social media ranged from Its just a business to People become perverts when they are too rich and tire of other forms of entertainment. Because Zimbabwe is reputedly among the worlds most corrupt countries, bribery is normal and makes the news only when innovators go above and beyond. the anti-poverty organization transparency International reported in July that one hospital in Harare had recently been imposing

THE REDNECK CHRONICLES

(1.) Police in york, Pa., arrested both Karen Harrelson, 48, and gregory stambaugh, 57, in May because they could not figure out which one started the couples knife fight over which contestant (Candice or Kree) deserved to win this years american Idol. they had apparently stabbed each other with the same knife. (2.) dewayne eddy, 54, was charged in yuba County, Calif., in May with beating his adult daughter with folding lawn chairs and a can of beans after discovering that a bolt was missing in the chicken coop in his yard.
a $5 charge on mothers each time they screamed during childbirth (in addition to the $50 delivery fee). Furthermore, it has long been rumored that hospitals in Zimbabwe (and other countries) may detain mothers and their children at the hospital if they cannot pay the fees. (transparency International reported several days later, after finally obtaining a meeting with a government official, that the per-scream charge will be lifted.) LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES satan was thrust into the recent texas legislature debate with pro-choicers shouting, Hail, satan! at the right-tolife faction. However, whom satan had endorsed was not clear. a British organization called uK Church of satan appeared to criticize the pro-choicers (according to twitter comments) while the new york-based Church of satan (founded in 1966 by anton LaVey) insists on a womans right to choose, said its High Priest Peter gilmore although he acknowledged that shouting Hail, satan to anti-abortion activists was ludicrous and meaningless. Megachurch bishop Ira V. Hilliard told his sugarland, texas, congregation (new Light Christian Center) in June that one of his two private aircraft a helicopter valued at about $1 million needs new blades, but rather than pay it himself, he asked parishioners to each find it in their hearts to send him $52 favor seeds for the blades. (His ministry also owns a $2 million Hawker jet and a $3 million hangar.) to sweeten the deal, he virtually promised that a donors gift would be met by a breakthrough favor from god in the form of a car repair or their very own dream car either 52 days or 52 weeks later (according to a church letter described by the Christian Post). NEWS THAT SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE In May (before edward snowden began releasing his previously classified document cache), the american Civil Liberties union released its own attempts to learn some of the same information from the FBI under the Freedom of Information act. two of the documents, totaling 69 pages, were completely redacted solid black boxes covering the entirety of every page except for page numbers and document title. a June performanceart street demonstration in glastonbury, england, got out of hand when a spectator took offense at one of the characters, who was dressed as a giant penis to promote a show by the troupe nomadic academy of Fools. the bystander grabbed the penis costume, but the penis colleague, Joanne tremarco, who was dressed as a giant vagina, went to his defense, trying to calm the bystander until police arrived. THE WEIRDO AMERICAN COMMUNITY Ronald Rock, 31, was arrested in Malone, n.y., in May after surveillance video convinced police that he was the man at a sears store who told a female stranger that he loved her shoes and wanted to buy a pair for his mother and asked if she would take one off to show him. Rock then appeared to stuff the shoe down his pants and masturbate vigorously. (Malone is within 25 miles of the small town of Massena, which was the site of the man caught on video stuffing the Hannafords pepperoni down his pants for the same purpose reported in news of the Weird seven weeks ago.)
At least Justin was kind enough to leave a note.

Dear Mom & Dad, I honestly thought that last Saturday night I was going to stay out of trouble. I was hosting a fundraiser at the bar I manage to send a child with muscular dystrophy to a special needs camp for a week and planned on going straight home for a good nights rest before a Sunday Funday at the concert of the summer: Jay Z and Justin Timberlakes Legends of the Summer tour. However, I was absurdly reminded that when it comes to my life, it is nearly impossible to behave for an entire night. It all started when my buddy stopped by to visit me at the bar with his girlfriend and her gay roommate. As usual, it only took 10 minutes for my friend and his girlfriend to ght back and forth until the gay roommate walked away saying, This is even too caddy for me! Before you knew it, my buddy left, and his girlfriend Samantha was at the bar with me by herself. I was even going to dye my hair black for him! she vented when it was just the two of us. I have the hair dye in my car, but I have
nobody to do it for me. Ill do it, I offered. Tonight? she asked. Well, I was planning on getting food after because I didnt really eat all day, I told her. Then lets go to Dennys, she suggested. Im starving! We can dye my hair at my apartment after. Since I had the concert the next day, I explained that I didnt want to be out all night. Ill dye your hair at Dennys, I told her. That way, we can overcome our hunger and you can get your hair done. At Dennys? she screamed. Yes! Then when people ask where you got your hair done, you can say Dennys! Youre nuts, Justin Brown! How are we going to pull that off? Lets go to your house and get a towel and shampoo, I instructed. Leave the rest to me! After stufng our faces, I told Samantha to take the hair dye out of her purse and follow me into the mens room. What if our waitress thinks we left without pay-
ing, asked Samantha. Thats when I wrote a note on a napkin that read: Dying our hair in the bathroom, be right back. Considering it was 4 a.m. on a Saturday at Dennys, I was assuming it wouldnt be the craziest thing the waitress has seen on her shift. I was wrong. I didnt even believe it when I was told what was going on in here, addressed the manager as he entered the mens room 10 minutes later. You mean this never happened? I asked, as I was rubbing chemicals into Samanthas hair next to a urinal. Although he didnt answer yes or no, Im assuming it was a no, as we were kicked out and had to nish dying her hair in the parking lot, with waitresses staring out the window. Sorry, Mom and Dad, for getting kicked out of Dennys at 4 a.m. for dying a girls hair in the mens room. I guess multi-tasking is frowned upon in public restrooms.
Love, Justin

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) On the African plain, lions and lionesses play dramatically dissimilar roles. The formidable lions, with their impressive manes and roars, make such a show that no one ever messes with them; they rarely have to demonstrate just how redoubtable they are. Lionesses, on the other hand, prove their mettle daily, hunting, without making such a stink about it. Still, theres something to be said for each styleyoud do well to switch it up. Lionesses: strut more and consequently wrangle lessbare your fangs more so you can use them less. Lions: stop telling everyone how badass you are and just show them, once in a while.

So far your construction has been propped up with the equivalent of wooden scaffolding while you searched for the perfect piece to hold it all together. Dont become impatient and force the wrong piece into place (not when the right one is this close!), because itll just crack under the pressure, or fall out. Be patient, please, or your hard work will crumble to rubble. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Talking about, unfortunately, often substitutes for actually doing. Its much easier to discuss writing a novel, effecting political changes, or planting a eld than actually doing itand the more you talk about it, the more you rob energy and inertia from trying to get it done. Im concerned because Id rather see you accomplish your admirable goals than continue to blab about them.

Still, you might Casey Affleck become more superstitious after this week. When coincidences stack so Aug. 12, 1975 precisely, you may wonder if theres Lacey Brown more than just random chance at work.
