Who was your most memorable celebrity encounter?
Letter from the editor W

hen we asked this weeks staff question, Account Executive Shelby Kremski sidled over to myself and Staff Writer Stephanie DeBalko and said her celebrity run-in story was pretty funny. When I asked what celebrity she met, she then stated, No one of real value. No one of real value? She met Nat Bussichio for Gods sake! If youre a product of the 90s as I most definitely am, you know thats a big deal or not, I guess. Nat (played by Joe E. Tata) was the perennially sunny owner of the Peach Pit on Beverly Hills, 90210, one of my favorite shows from my youth. Shelby shared that Nat, err, Joe, reeked of stale beer and bad decisions when she and her friend met him in a bar on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. He told them that he was being picked up by his limo, which, in reality, was actually a cab. The reformed Brandon would not approve, but I do think its safe to say that Shelby wins the Best Answer Award this week if I actually gave such a thing out. As for the rest of this issue, our

news of the weird

By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
Seattle police reported that a woman had been walking her dog in Plymouth Pillars Park at about 2 a.m. on May 10 and allegedly making noise that disturbed another man. Both were carrying pooper scoopers, and it is unclear which of the two started it, but the woman claimed the man jousted his toward her off and on in a 30-minute duel, as she used hers to block his assaults. Police said a search failed to turn up suspects.
TO THE NINTH RING OF HELL -- Debbie Stevens, 47, filed a claim before the New York Human Rights commission in April alleging that she was fired in November by Ms. Jackie Brucia, a controller of the Atlantic Automotive Group of West Islip, N.Y., after Stevens failed to recover quickly enough from major surgery in August. Stevens had donated a kidney to Brucia, who apparently could not understand why Stevens was still in pain by Sept. 6 so that she needed more time off. (Actually, since Brucia and Stevens were not perfect matches, Brucia had Stevens donate to a woman ahead of Brucia on the waiting list, which created an opening for Brucia. Brucias husband told a New York Post reporter in April that Stevens claims were far from the truth, but would not elaborate.) -- In April, a jury in Charlotte, N.C., convicted Charles Hinton, 47, for a break-in at the Levine Childrens Hospital in 2010, where he had been charged with stealing 10 videogaming systems that sick children relied on for entertainment while they received cancer treatment. -- A CNN investigation revealed in May that the Disabled Veterans National Foundation had collected almost $56 million in donations over four years but given nearly all of it to two direct-mail fundraising companies. CNN was able to locate a small veterans charity in Birmingham, Ala., that received help, but mainly in the form of 2,600 bags of cough drops, 2,200 bottles of sanitizers, 11,520 bags of coconut M&Ms and 700 pairs of Navy dress shoes. Another, in Prescott, Ariz., received hundreds of chefs coats and aprons, cans of acrylic paint and a needlepoint design pillowcase. Said the manager of the Birmingham charity, I ask myself, What the heck are these people doing. OOPS! -- Andrea Amanatides suffered a boo-boo in May while being booked to begin a sixmonth jail sentence in Albany, N.Y., for a probation violation. As she was being placed in a holding cell, a cache of drugs fell onto the floor. Deputies soon figured out that a condom Amanatides had placed into a bodily orifice had burst. The final inventory: 26 Oxycontins, 10 Ambiens, 50 Valiums, 37 Adderalls, plus 133 more prescription pills and four baggies containing heroin. The sequence was captured on surveillance video. SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE -- In testimony at an extortion trial in New York City in June, Anthony Russo (alleged Colombo family associate) told prosecutors that a mob war was narrowly averted after another Colombo hand learned that a new Staten Island pizza parlor (run by an alleged Bonanno associate) featured pies that suspiciously resembled those of the top-rated L&B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn, which has Colombo ties. Representatives of the families had a sit-down (at a neutral site a Panera Bread restaurant!) and worked out a payment plan to satisfy L&B.
BRIGHT IDEAS -- Good to Know: Five hikers on holiday from Miami got lost overnight on May 3 high in the Adirondack Mountains in Essex County, N.Y., and endured a night of rain with temperatures in the 40s before they were rescued. One or more of the hikers (number unclear in the news report) got to test one theory of body-warming, but learned that its benefit was illusory. That is, warming up a cold body by urinating on it provides only momentary, if any, relief. -- Serial flasher-alcoholic Michael McShane, 55, of Workington, England, seems well aware of the serious problem he has. He has been arrested 283 times (190 convictions) for indecent exposure and public drinking and was apparently trying to keep himself out of trouble one night in April by dressing in two pairs of pants, so that if he shed one, he would still be within the law. However, on that night, police picked up a passed-out McShane outside a bar where he had already managed to pull both pairs of trousers down past his buttocks, and in May, he garnered conviction number 191, in Carlisle Crown Court. PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US Earlier this year, Tokyo artist Mao Sugiyama, 22, had elective surgery to remove his genitals, underscoring his commitment to an asexual lifestyle in which his behavior and attitude are supposedly completely irrelevant to whether he is male or female. Then, on April 8, he solicited diners to a meal (for the equivalent of about $250 each) in which his genitals were cooked and served, garnished with button mushrooms and Italian parsley. One applicant was a noshow, but five dined with him on April 13. According to a May report on Huffington Post, the well-photographed story went viral in Japan, and authorities repeatedly assured journalists that no law had been violated. W

The amazing Andrew

Andrew Garfield fulfills dream of becoming Spider-Man
n some ways, Andrew Gareld has been preparing to play Spider-Man since he was 3 years old. Thats
PAGE 14
By Amy Longsdorf Weekender Correspondent

when he rst discovered the superhero on an animated TV show and became so enamored of the webslinger, he begged his
parents for his very own Spidey costume. Growing up, I felt like the underdog because I was such a skinny kid, says the actor best known for his role in The Social Network. I played rugby,
and I was good at it, but I got concussed all the time because I was a weakling. I always identied with Peter Parker because he felt stronger on the inside than he did on the outside. There was nothing better than seeing a skinny guy beat the crap out of the big guys. In The Amazing SpiderMan, due in theaters Tuesday, July 3, its the former weakling who wallops the evil-doers. Garelds Spidey saves the day with a daring rescue on New Yorks Williamsburg Bridge and a palm-sweating chase that takes place under the elevated portion of Riverside Drive. Before Gareld, 28, was cast in the 3-D reboot, hundreds of actors auditioned for the title role. But as director Marc Webb told Entertainment Weekly, Listening to Andrew talk about Spider-Man, you get the sense that playing this part was his destiny. Its only been ve years since Spider-Man 3 starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst racked up $900 million at the box ofce. But neither Maguire nor the original trilogys director Sam Raimi opted to continue with the series. When they dropped out, Columbia Pictures decided to start all over again with Webb behind the camera. Focusing on an untold story that exposes a different side of the Peter Parker saga, The Amazing Spider-Man begins with the outcast high schooler being abandoned by his parents and adopted by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). As he is nding his way with high-school crush Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and dealing with a certain radioactive arachnid, hes also trying to understand the mystery of his parents
disappearance. Its a mission that puts him on a collision course with his fathers former partner, Dr. Curt Connors aka the villainous Lizard (Rhys Ifans). When Gareld was cast, Maguire reportedly sent an e-mail to producer Matt Tolmach congratulating Sony on its casting decision. It was a big condence booster for Gareld. It was very, very generous and made me feel like I could take the torch in condence, and that I had Tobeys support, says Gareld, who was born in Los Angeles before moving to Surrey, England with his American father and English mother. Well all just be part of the SpiderMan family. SUITING UP s a big fan of the webslinger, Gareld felt a special responsibility being the man inside the suit. I dedicated myself to it, really, he says. This is embarrassing to admit but I thought, Oh my God, Im not allowed to sleep. Im not allowed to think about anything else. I need to dedicate everything to this (character) who has given me so much in my life. I wanted to give all of myself to the movie. So, I didnt sleep. I didnt shake it off. Next time, I might have to shake him off because I do love sleeping, and I do love eating. The lmmakers decided Peter Parker should build and design his own webshooters. At the same time, Gareld worked hard to make sure the post-spiderbite Peter Parker would glide around a room with a spidery elegance. The physical training to change my body was horrible because Im a
lazy guy, says the actor. Im vain, but Im not vain enough to care about the gym. Another aspect of the production which gave Gareld a good deal of grief was the costume. But he refuses to complain too much about it. Every actor who plays a superhero is, like, the costume sucked. How dare we complain were the ones that get to wear the costume, and its part of the dream. So, Ill say it was so terrible to wear, but the fantasy of wearing the costume was really awesome. While there was a lot of special-effects shots added in post-production, Gareld strove to do as much of Spideys leaping and swinging as possible. Under the tutelage of stuntman Andy Armstrong, who helped construct the ying rigs, Gareld was able to make Spidey swing higher and faster. Andy became like a father to me, says Gareld. There were things that I was scared about, and like any good father, Andy told me, Go beyond what you think you can do because you might surprise yourself. It was a kind of a spiritually overwhelming experience to work with him, and, of course, that was combined with the physical sensation (of ying) that Ive wanted since I was 3 years old. REEL TO REAL early as exciting for Gareld as the ying scenes were the falling-in-love sequences he shared with Stone, whom he now dates offscreen. I actually felt more safe when I was swinging around because you have a very strong, safe pair of hands holding you
Emma Stone, as Gwen Stacy, is Garfields reel - and real - life love interest.
At top, Andrew Garfield, star of The Amazing Spider-Man, has been a fan of the superhero since he was 3. Bottom, Peter Parker discovers one of his superpowers in a scene from the film.

Gareld in his budding career. Hes had nothing but good luck on stage, netting a handful of awards in the U.K. For his 2012 Broadway debut as Biff in Mike Nichols revival of Death of a Salesman, Gareld garnered a Tony nominee.
up, he says with a laugh. In the romantic scenes, you are freefalling, you know? They have to be spontaneous and free and terrifying because thats what romance is. Thats what rst love is. First love is the scariest thing youll ever go through
and the most exhilarating. Youve got so much to lose. So (the scenes with Emma) were more frightening than swinging through the buildings in a weird way, and, especially because its Emma, and shes terrifying. Not a lot has terried
On screen, the actor aced a pair of British lms, including Red Riding Trilogy - 1974 and Boy A, before being cast in the higher-prole Never Let Me Go and The Social Network. If theres one thing Gareld strives to avoid, its becoming the kind of lazy actor who refuses to audition and only plays variations of himself again and again. This is a weird analogy but, for me, its like if youre playing pool, and you have to put in 50 cents every time, you really enjoy that game because youve paid for it, he reasons. But if youve gured out a way to jimmy the thing and you can get a free game of pool out of it, youre not going to care so much about the game. Its (a good) feeling to know youve earned it, as opposed to just being handed it. Luckily, Ive had to work for everything that Ive been a part of, and theres something just very satisfying about that. W

Chamber rock
By Noelle Fabrizio
Weekender Intern
heres a new kind of band stopping by NEPA, and it wants to show you how the cello can rock. XVSK is a self-described chamber pop band from Bethlehem whose catchy tribal sound will leave you hungry for more but scratching your head wondering where the rest of the band is. The duo consists of only a drummer and a cellist, but its sound proves that sometimes two is all you need. Trevor Exter and John Morgan Kimock met in Bethlehem and after playing together for three years have taken it to the next level. With Exter on the upright cello and Kimock on drums, the pair sought a name to describe its style. XVSK is an abbreviated version of Exter Vs. Kimock. Its a collaboration. Kind of a mash-up of two styles, which is very different, but it sounds great, and we have a lot of fun, Exter told the Weekender during a phone
We take a very physical approach. The music is secondary to how we want to feel.
Trevor Exter call from sound check at a recent performance. The 38 year old brings the stand-up cello to XVSK which he describes as a combination of an upright bass and a ukulele. Exter first became fascinated with the cello at the age of 7 but his journey to this point was a long one. He said he attempted to be a cellist but found it too difficult, and it never really went anywhere. So I hit reset on it, and the way I play cello now, I kind of hit it. I dont do mainstream cello stuff, I just do my own thing, he said. Exters style of playing contributes largely to the distinct poppy sound of XVSK, but he shared that the music isnt first when it comes to their collaborative

efforts. We take a very physical approach, he explained. The music is secondary to how we want to feel. We just emerge ourselves in the sound. Theres basically a drum feel we have and everything kind of comes out of that. Exter writes most of the lyrics, and Kimock does a lot of the music, but they arrange the songs together. He describes their composition style as one in which both members bring something of their own to the band. Its pretty collaborative, he said. We push each other to go to places where we wouldnt usually go. Exter said XVSK is currently working on its first full-length album and in September will be reprising its live musical performance that will accompany a showing of the film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He said the pair is currently having fun playing together everywhere from Maine to Alabama, but they hope to eventually do a show with Cabinet. When asked who he would most want to share the stage with, the cellist quickly replied, The Wood Brothers, hands down. The band will take to the stage at the River Street Jazz Cafe in Plains Twp. on Friday, June 29, and Exter said the choice to play in NEPA was an easy one as it was so close to their home, and they have friends in the area. Exter shared that Kimock has been playing at the Jazz Cafe for years and recently, the band headlined the local Mayday Music Festival in Wilkes-Barre. In addition to visiting the local music venues, Exter said the band enjoys walking around, hanging out and partying with friends in the area but on the day of a show, most of its energy goes toward its performance. Every time we play, theres an energy rush, a connection to the crowd, he said. Theres something very liberating with there just being two of us.

The two versions of the Surface look the same on the outside but are radically different inside. The basic model will run Windows RT, a lightweight version of Windows 8, and will be driven by a mobile-optimized Nvidia Tegra ARM processor. Windows RT will only be able to run apps that are approved for Surface tablets from the Windows store just like iPad and Android devices. It will offer 32 or 64GB of storage, feature a 10.6-inch HD screen and USB2.0 and micro HDMI jacks. It weighs in at about 1 1/2 pounds. The Surface Pro features an Intel Core i5 processor and will run the full version of Windows 8 it will offer 64 or 128GB of storage, a better display, USB 3.0 and MiniDisplay jacks and adds a stylus. Both will share a common design and interface, microSD card slots, a multi-touch screen and two different types of covers: Touch Type. The Touch Cover features a touch-sensitive keyboard; the Type Cover features an actual tactile keypad. Surprisingly, at launch, both devices will offer Wi-Fi only. Theres no word on price yet, but Microsoft suggests that it will be competitive with devices of similar power. According to the company, theyll be available at

By the time the Surface comes to market, any new Microsoftpowered device will have more or less the same user experience. If you can use Windows 8, youll be able to use a computer, a Surface or a Microsoft phone. Unlike iPad and Android tablets, which run dedicated operating systems, the Surface will run a specialized version of Windows 8.

The specs and capabilities of these devices, the Surface Pro in particular, seem to suggest that these devices will have superior utility in many ways to current tablets particularly considering that the Surface Pro will run Windows 8 and both offer true USB connectivity. The fact that its late to the game doesnt help Microsoft, but maybe money and its PC market share will be the wedge that it W needs to be successful.

ALBUM REVIEWS
No big Rush
Very few artists are able to build the kind of following that Rush has during its nearly four decades of making music. Perhaps the textbook definition of a power trio, at times Rush is less a band and more of a phenomenon, with legions of dedicated fans and the kind of iconic radio hits that are familiar to even the most casual listener. Rush recently released Clockwork Angels, its 20th studio album and first in more than five years. While that number is certainly impressive, Rushs last few offerings have been fairly lackluster and, unfortunately, this latest album is not much different. Lead track Caravan seems to have some promise, with a dark, dramatic opening that gives the listener some hope. Those hopes are quickly dashed as the band drops the energy and muddles through the rest of the album. The lengthy, rambling title track is easily forgettable (and borderline boring), and many of the other songs such as Carnies, The Garden and Halo Effect are dull and seem very uninspired. Every so often, however, Rush does show some signs of life. Headlong Flight is full of energy and power and even has a riff that mimics the open-
ing bars of Bastille Day (from the bands third album Caress of Steel). BU2B2 is actually fairly heavy, and the trio plays together with a real tightness that isnt seen much on this album. The Anarchist also stands out in the context of this album, however on another Rush album, this track might be considered just to be filler. In the end, Clockwork Angels isnt a terrible rock album, but its not a very good Rush album. While the bands career has been stellar, that also means that the expectations of fans and critics have been set fairly high. Although its certainly unrealistic to expect something thats on the same level as Moving Pictures, it is not out of line to expect something better than the band has put forth here.

Rush Clockwork Angels

dance imperative that opens the disc, to Believe, the gospel-cloaked anthem that closes it. This is recording by committee. Die in Your Arms, for instance, is credited to 11 (!) composers. And several guest stars drop by, with Drake doing the best job of integrating himself, as he does on Right Here. Its difficult to gauge how Biebers voice is changing as he grows because the tracks seem to have been recorded over a significant period of time. He sounds youngest, ironically, on the song with the most mature theme, Catching Feelings, but Biebers smooth, confident handling of the ballad Fall suggests hell be with us for a while.

Neneh Cherry and The Thing The Cherry Thing Rating: W W
A Cherry not to pop

Neneh Cherry enchanted everyone in 1988 with her single Buffalo Stance. She was able to show just how many times one can put the word gigolo in a song while still maintaining serious musical credibility. And just like the earrings she wore in the video for that single, which can now be found on just about any member of the cast of Jerseylicious, Cherry is attempting to
again become relevant. Teaming up with jazz band The Thing, Cherry recently released The Cherry Thing. The album is a collection of mostly covers with a few originals thrown in for good measure, and it includes songs by Ornette Coleman, The Stooges and her stepfather, Don Cherry. For the most part, The Cherry Thing is a chaotic assault on the ears. There are glimmers of hope, like in the ethereal beginning of Suicides Dream Baby Dream or in the toned-down arrangement of MF Dooms Accordion, and those glimmers are proof that everyone in this collaboration has talent. But perhaps this kind of free-form, experimental jazz is an acquired taste. The problem with the album is that it has a shelf life. Youre not going to revisit it on a cold winter night like you would a record by John Coltrane or Nancy Wilson (of jazz, not Heart). And while Cherry has undeniable creative merit, creativity doesnt always equal a pleasant listening experience. That said, some of the tracks on the album grow on you. Sort of the way an annoying siren becomes background noise. So if youre brave enough to give The Cherry Thing a second or even third listen, maybe youll find its at least as tolerable as a screeching distress signal.

Zappa on being Zappa

By Nikki M. Mascali
Weekender Editor
rank Zappa will be 20 years gone next year, but the music found on the 80-plus albums released during and after his lifetime live on not only through his still-rabid fans, but also his son, Dweezil, who has been performing his fathers music since 2006 as Zappa Plays Zappa. One of the goals of this is to be able to present the music to a new audience, so many of the people that come to the shows are coming for the first time to see this music, Zappa told the Weekender during a recent phone call from Los Angeles. What continues to be surprising is the level of support from people that like the music enough to want to see multiple shows on each tour. There are people who have seen more than 60 shows since 2006, and, to me, thats miraculous that they want to support it on that level. With a repertoire of more than 200 songs, fans can expect to hear up to 25 from Zappa Plays Zappa when the eight-piece tribute stops at the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre Thursday, June 28. And because of those repeat customers, Zappa varies the setlist from night to night. Choosing the songs really comes down to trying to make it have a good amount of things that could be well-known to the audience, as well as a few things that are definitely unknown to create a nice balance of favorites from different eras, the guitarist shared. At many shows, the elder Zappa has been featured posthumously via audio/video technology, and with the recent resurrection of Tupac Shakur via something akin to a hologram, it might not be implausible for Frank to appear someday beside his son. Is it the same as seeing it for real? No, but its your best option, so the thing that weve done with video does have a very profound affect on an audience and it does to me as well, Zappa said. Its a melancholy kind of thing to have him performing live in his prime singing and playing, but then

One of the issues that comes up with my dads music is that sometimes people have this preconceived notion of it being something closer to novelty music because it has a sense of humor, but thats not even scratching the surface of what my dad did throughout the over 80 albums that he made.

again, its also very exciting. If it was a holographic image and it was convincing, that would be even more bizarre. Oddly enough in his book The Real Frank Zappa in the early 90s, he was talking about, in the future, music concerts being broadcast in the sky via hologram to be seen on multiple continents simultaneously, Zappa recalled. Its funny now its starting with a holographic image on stage. His prediction, which seemed farfetched to many back then, maybe its not so far off.
While ZPZ and spending time with his two young daughters has kept Zappa too busy to create his own music since 2006s Go with What You Know, he has been thinking about a new record for some time. Hopefully, I can do a little bit of that this year, he said. This particular tour that were doing is gonna allow for a couple of things thatll throw in a few fun detours for the audience. I kind of want to have a, for lack of a better description, a Storytellers kind of element to this and
connect some of the materials personal stories and experiences, but relate that also to what inspired me to play guitar to begin with. While Frank Zappa was a prolific composer, singer/songwriter, guitarist, producer and film director, many people found his an unconventional art. One of the issues that comes up with my dads music is that sometimes people have this preconceived notion of it being something closer to novelty music because it has a sense of humor, Zappa said, but thats not even scratching the surface of what my dad did throughout the over 80 albums that he made. Nor does it sum up his life outside his art, where he had four children Moon, Dweezil, Ahmet and Diva with wife Gail. I think that, on average, people, they hear dogs with weird names, kids with weird names, and they think, Oh, that must have been total chaos and madness, Zappa began. None of
us grew up taking drugs or drinking or any of that kind of stuff my dad was very antidrug. As a kid at an early age, I would see people at his shows acting stupid, and Id say, Whats wrong with those people? and hed say, Well, those people are on drugs, or theyve had too much to drink, and they think it gives them an excuse to be an asshole. I never bothered taking them, but that was because I had a lot of respect for my parents, and we were respected as individuals. We werent just supposed to be children creatures that were just quiet when other people were around and to be this perfect version of society that doesnt really exist, you know?

Organizer Joseph Jaser ferings. Everything is going to be bigger and better this year, Jaser said. Weve got a plethora of vendors, and there will be different interactive things for people to do. More than just the music, there will also be hiking trails, well have DJs and a dance tent in the evening and on Friday night, were going to have burlesque dancers from Billtown Burlesque. For Jeff Oshetski, though, its still the music which holds the greatest fascination. As a musician, its cool just to see other bands doing their thing, even from just a technical standpoint, he said. I like to get behind the soundboard when the heavier bands are up there and see what kind of gear they have and watch. Since we dont do that kind of stuff, its all kind of foreign to me. Oshetski is the vocalist and lead guitarist for Sunbury-based jam band Willie Jack and the Northern Light, which also played at last years Liberty Fest. In contrast to the bouncy, mellow sound of Willie Jack, Selinsgroves Jaw Horse is one of those heavier bands on the lineup, playing blues-influenced sludge-punk. Far from threatening culture-shock, however, Jaw Horse frontman Sean Jovi Stoltenburg feels the eclecticism Liberty Fest boasts is an advantage, offering audience members a chance to mingle with music lovers of different tastes and to discover artists they might not normally come across on their own. We want our fans to come out and see these bands and get excited. Also, vice versa; hopefully some of the other bands fans will feel the same way about us, Stoltenburg said. Were all about getting people to be a bit more open-minded. Its always great to play for new faces.

ith summer here, the outdoors beckon and people find all kinds of excuses to get outside and soak up the sunshine while they can. Kids have amusement parks. Sports fanatics have baseball. And music lovers? They have festivals. One of the youngest festivals to pop up in Pennsylvania is Liberty Music Festival, or Liberty Fest, now in its second year. Liberty Fest will be held Friday-Sunday, June 29-July 1 and will bring bands and fans from across the state to the city of Roaring Branch for three days of camping and music. The lineup features more than 25 bands, from NEPA native Mike Miz to State College group Atlas Soundtrack, representing a broad spectrum of genres including ska, hip-hop and psychedelic rock. We dont want it to be pre-
dominantly a hippie festival or a rock n roll festival or anything like that, said Joseph Jaser, one of the organizers. We want it to be an everybody festival. Jaser, who will also perform at the event as part of Williamsport-based indie-rock act Moxie & Rebel, co-founded Liberty Fest with Blaze Webb and bandmate Tim Harer after attending several other summer music festivals and becoming smitten with the concept. To assemble a lineup of bands, they used contacts obtained through Moxie & Rebels past performances and, after finding a home for the festival in a portion of the 164-acre plot of land owned by the Harer family, Liberty Fest was born. Drawing more than 300 attendees, Jaser said he was happy with the first-year turnout, but expects that number to double this year. With that in mind, he promises to keep festivalgoers busy with an expanded array of extracurricular of-

the cotton gin as well). In spite of how idiotic this sounds, the film isnt a comedy. Instead, the filmmakers treat this ridiculous concept with all the gravity of Hotel Rwanda. In theory, the films self-seriousness should push it into the realm of high-camp hilarity. All the elements for a bad movie classic are in place: Characters earnestly spout awkward dialogue like, Real power comes not from hate but from truth; the film tries to make Lincoln look like a badass by having him constantly twirl his axe with the grim, nononsense determination of a majorette or a Miss America contestant from the mid-50s and, at one point, Mary Todd Lincoln (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is shown standing Ill repeat standing on Lincolns stovepipe hat to give him a kiss goodnight.

charming but dumb its just dumb. Equating the Confederacy with blood-sucking vampires isnt just simplistic, its obvious. Granted, it was a concept found in the original book, but couldnt the film take this idea into a more nuanced direction? Whats that? Grahame-Smith also wrote the screenplay? Oh, Im sorry. I guess it couldnt. Whether as a novel or as a motion picture, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is about as entertaining as that history class you slept through in high school. But unlike that history class, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter wont lead you to drop out of high school, wind up living on your uncles couch and grow increasingly more delusional until you think youre a writer just because you complain bitterly about movies like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Stay in school kids.

We need these nakedly exploitive titles because they function as the cinematic equivalent to a Mr. Yuck sticker; something to appear on the one sheet to shoo us away and spare us from seeing a film so irredeemably stupid and boring that it cant even be saved by the sight of a vampire throwing a horse at the 16th president of the

United States in slow motion. And, keep in mind: Anything can be saved by the sight of that. Seth Grahame-Smiths novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was a bestseller in spite of the fact that it read like a Wikipedia entry on Lincoln after it was not-so-creatively vandalized by a precocious 14 year old. The book was dry, obvious and catered to that specific kind of insufferable asshole who still makes Chuck Norris jokes and has at least one picture on their Facebook profile of them giving themselves a fingerstache. Amazingly, the movie
takes everything terrible about the book and amplifies it about a million percent because as bad as the book was, at least we didnt have to picture the characters performing stiff wire fu in slow motion. As in the novel that inspired it, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter tells the life story of Lincoln (Benjamin Walker who is actually more robotic than the robot Lincoln that resides in Disneys Hall of Presidents) as he split rails, returned books he found and fought vampires who invented slavery (and presumably,

Flesh 'n' blood founding fathers
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
he British have given us some good things without them we probably wouldnt have the Beatles, Downton Abbey or Newcastle Brown Ale. But really, who wants to hail to the queen when you can vote and have good dental work done? So we should all thank our lucky stars that the Declaration of Independence was signed when it was in 1776 giving the 13 colonies independence from England. To get a little more behind the scenes and to celebrate the patriotic holiday coming up on the Fourth of July, the Pennsylvania Theatre of Performing Arts will present the musical 1776 Friday, June 29 through Sunday, July 8 at the J.J. Ferrara Center in Hazleton. The show follows John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Richard Henry Lee and Thomas Jefferson as they try to convince the members of the second Continental Congress to vote for independence from the British monarchy. It details the events leading up to the ratification and signing of the Declaration of Independence, explained Paul Winarski, the shows director. And it basically presents the founding fathers as flesh-andblood people, not these marble-statue icons that people are used to today. Before you turn your nose up at the mention of American history, rest assured that the musical doesnt play like the lines from a textbook. Its far from a history lesson, said Winarski, who will play John Dickinson. The music is witty and clever, the songs very memorable, the way the script portrays the
Adam Randis as John Adams, John Schugard as Richard Henry Lee and Drew Coffman as Benjamin Franklin in the Pennsylvania Theatre of Performing Arts production of 1776. characters, its highly entertaining. And its got its gripping dramatic moments and its lighter moments. And while the story is based on facts and letters that were written during that time, the show is fictional. Its a very good blend of history and historical libertytaking, should we say? Winarski shared, laughing. Back then it was all men making the decisions in Congress, which presented a challenge to Winarski as a director. The script calls for 23 male roles and only two female roles Abigail Adams and Martha Jefferson. And finding them, not only people who could act and sing, but people who were age-appropriate, and people who, if they were lucky or unlucky enough, have to perform in a minuet number, that was a big challenge, he said. The other big challenge during rehearsals has been presented more to the actors, some of whom have only done drama or comedy and no musicals. The minuet number I mentioned Its a very regimented number, Winarski said. And its very funny watching people who are not used to dancing try to get used to doing everything in sync. Weve got it down, but it was just a very humorous process. Winarski has been itching to do a local production of 1776 ever since he was in a staging of it in 1989 at the now-defunct Showcase Theatre in Exeter. And he didnt let the daunting task of finding a large, musically inclined cast of men deter him. When I direct a show, I look at a show as a whole. I dont say, This is a musical, this is a drama, this is a comedy. What Ill do is find the right actor for the role, and based on their ability, see if they could handle it. W 1776: June 29-30, July 6-7, 7 p.m.; July 1, 8, 3 p.m., JJ Ferrara Center (212 W. Broad St., Hazleton). Dinner/show tickets available. Reservations/info: 570.454.5451, ptpashows.org

novel approach
memories by creating an imagined beginning. There is great depth and recurrence to the plot. Lysander, for example, in attempting to rid this particular disturbing event, manages to do so through psychotherapy, but not without consequence. Karma, as the novel later demonstrates, can be ruthless in its determination. While in treatment, Lysander meets a fellow patient, Hettie Bull. Hettie is an artist, and naturally their difficulties bring them together. However, soon into their passionate love affair, Hettie betrays him in the worst of ways, leaving Lysander with no other choice but to flee the city with the help of consulates. Fast forward to London in 1914. Lysanders hopeful intentions of becoming an actor vanish almost at fast as his trust in women. But soon, his passion for the stage is reborn. Lysanders innocence may still be in question, but his hope for redemption in London proves just as difficult with the onset of World War I. Nevertheless, there his talent is used in the world of espionage. With this life, Lysander finally has the chance to perform his oneman act each step of the way, taking on a different disguise. But, like his past, this new life is just as treacherous. Trust becomes a mere idea that has all but fallen out of practice. Lysander does not know whom to trust and neither do his faithful readers following along. The suspense of the novel carries through until the end. Boyd purposely begins with a quotation from Hemingway, therein inscribing the ultimate message. The moral of the novel is that we can attempt to escape our past, but it will always find a way back to us. The sunrise then becomes symbolic we can hide in the darkness only for a short while before our life the good and bad comes to light.

n Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd, he effectively transplants his readers into a historical environment as our world vanishes into thin air. Our current lives are suspended as we travel backward to a world bloodied by betrayal. Boyd begins with an epigraph to the work based on two quotations. The more significant of the two is by Ernest Hemingway, who writes: A thing is true at first light and a lie by noon. These words will connect to one major theme throughout the book. As a period novel, Waiting for Sunrise begins in Vienna in 1913.

Its Farmers Market time in Wilkes-Barre! FARMERS, FINALLY! One of the greatest things about working in downtown Wilkes-Barre is the annual Farmers Market held Thursdays on Public Square, which will finally kick off its 39th season June 28. The Farmers Market is a downtown Wilkes-Barre tradition, showcasing the best farmers, food and artists, as well as local non-profit organizations, businesses and services. The market brings high-quality local produce to the areas residents and downtown workforce, said Mayor Thomas M. Leighton in a press release. Leighton will officially open the market at 10 a.m. Thursday, a change from previous years, when the opening ceremonies were held at noon. Windfall Enterprises will kick off the Music at the Market concert series at noon, and as in the past, each week will have different themes and entertainment. In addition to the yearly regulars, theres a slew of new vendors this year, including Grammys Apple Dumplings, Tarnowski Kielbasa, The Beekeepers Daughter, Dragons Lair Stained Glass & Collectibles, City Light Church, Jay McCarroll, a NEPA native who won season one of Project Runway, and starting in July, Nices Old Fashioned Style Almonds. The farmers included are Harold Golomb, Braces Orchard, Albert Broyan, Norman Darling and Sons, Dymonds Farm and Farm Markets, Dunns Fruit Farm, Lori Yost Cotrone, Kesslers, Larry OMalia, Martin J. OMalia, Art Ryman and Zimmerman Farms. The Farmers Market closes Nov. 15, and dogs are not allowed. To view the complete 2012 schedule, visit wilkesbarre.pa.us or turn to the Weekenders Agenda listings. PEKING CHEF COMES TO KINGSTON Peking Chef Express, an offshoot of the popular locally owned Back Mountain Chinese restaurant, is slated to open this week in the United Penn Plaza on Wyoming Avenue in Kingston. I believe this could be a new trend, owner Eric Lee told The Times Leader last week. And for me, its a new challenge, and I want to prove what I have learned over 30 years. While Lee plans to offer many of the same items found at his Dallas location, Peking Chef Express will offer them a little differently and more akin to the Peking Chef in the food court at the Wyoming Valley Mall: Dishes will come on plastic trays and tea in paper, to-go cups. Food is food, Lee said. Tea is tea and I believe that people here wont mind putting tea in a plastic cup, like Starbucks. Because he now wont need servers to carry heavy dishes, busboys to remove them and dishwashers to wash them, Lee can run Express with a smaller staff, which leads to lower prices for patrons. He stated that most dishes will cost between $7-$8. I want to remind myself of where I came from, when I came to this great country, Lee said. I came to this country 41 years ago, and 10 hours later I was washing dishes in Montauk, Long Island. I want to dedicate this restaurant to the good working American families in this area.

n a world where dragons can attack at anytime, whats a poor Viking to do but retaliate? Well, if youre the outsider Viking Hiccup, whose wry sense of humor is lost on the brutes of his village, you seek your own path, even if its one of making nice with a nemesis. Such is the story of the blockbuster 2010 film How to Train Your Dragon and its subsequent live spectacular that kicks off its North American tour with a five-day run at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Twp. Wednesday, June 27. How to Train Your Dragon features 23 dragons, some with a wingspan of 46 feet. Hiccups friend, Toothless, weighs more than 7,500 pounds and flies more than a mile on the firstever touring flight-track system that weighs roughly 28 tons. Rarmian Newton, who splits the role of Hiccup with Riley Miner, saw the movie version in theaters, not that he remembered much of it. I was actually on a date, so my focus wasnt on the storyline
it was more on talking to this girl, Newton said with a laugh when the Weekender visited a recent rehearsal. After I did the audition and found out about this storyline, I went back and actually picked up all the little subtleties that really do impact you. While this isnt Newtons first big role he was in the Australian production of Billy Elliot and starred alongside Hugh Jackman in The Boy From Oz HTTYD is Sarah McCreanors first big touring production, as well as her first trip to the States as she tackles the role of Astrid. Astrid, a role she alternates with Gemma Nguyen, is the spunky epitome of a Viking who starts to mistrust Hiccup, who cant keep his new friend a secret much longer. Shes the only female, she is the best dragon trainer, thats what shes known as, and she knows it herself, McCreanor shared. Shes very proud of that. Shes just such a strong character and has such a great journey because by the end of it, you get to see a softer side of her, and I get to smile a lot more, she added, laughing. McCreanor hadnt seen the
movie before her audition. This, she said, gesturing to the set being built around her, had never been done before, so I had no idea what to expect, and Im just hearing Nigel (Jamieson), the director, during the auditions saying Ive got to look up and react to this massive dragon, and Im thinking, What are you talking about? Theres going to be dragons? How big are these going to be? After that, I did see the movie, and I fell in love with it. McCreanor was surprised at how realistic the dragons are. They are the heroes of the show, they are the most amazing thing about this show Im just constantly reminding myself that they are actually puppets, theyre not real, she said, adding that she likes the smaller ones best. But I mean Toothless, we get to fly on Toothless, thats like a roller coaster every night. With HTTYD on tour through January, McCreanor is going to be the Australian tourist walking around with my camera taking photos of everything that I see, and Newton is excited to see where the tour takes him. That kind of coexists with Hiccup a little bit because hes really an enthusiastic kind of person, hes really motivated toward his own ideas, he said. Another thing I find about Hiccup that I see in myself a little bit is that he likes to challenge what everyone else thinks. Before he explores the States with HTTYD, Newton is content seeing what NEPA, his home for the past few weeks during rehearsals, has to offer. A few of us went someplace called Seven Tubs (Nature Area), which was amazing, he shared. They have waterfalls, it was really cool. Naturally, we wouldnt help but ask if he challenged the prohibition of swimming at the Tubs. Maybe. Maybe. All the locals were in the water! he explained, laughing. W How To Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular, Wed.-Fri., June 27-29, 7 p.m., Sat., June 30, 11 a.m., 3 & 7 p.m., Sun., July 1, 11 a.m., 3 p.m., Mohegan Sun Arena (255 Highland Park Blvd., Wilkes-Barre Twp.). $29.50-$79.50, via box office, Ticketmaster.

Glamour for good

By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
ot all of fictions greatest superheroes revel in adoration the way Iron Man does. Some, like Batman, Spider-Man and Superman, deliver their good deeds under a cloak of anonymity. While it hasnt quite reached superhero status yet, an anonymous initiative launched earlier this year, the Scranton Social Series, is looking to maintain that same ambiguity while trying to make Scranton more vibrant. Were just trying to create a little bit better social atmosphere locally, explained one of the groups members, who well refer to as Mr. Organizer. Its happening here and there, but were going to try and make it happen a little bit better. But why the secrecy? The reason why we dont really put our names out there is just because I think what were doing is a little bit bigger than us, and its not about who did what or who is seen where, he explained. Its not about an individual, per se, its just about Scranton as a community. The Scranton Social Series will throw Glamour on the Grass Saturday, June 30 at the Everhart Museum in Scranton as a benefit for the local landmark. We lost our state funding, so every little bit helps for keeping the doors open, said Cara Sutherland, executive director of the museum. We havent raised the price of admission in at least 10 years, and we dont intend to, but its a challenge. Glamour on the Grass will feature a cash bar and food from a number of local eateries. Theyre all providing the food, graciously enough, because they think what were doing is a great cause, Mr. Organizer shared. And theres a bunch of local bartenders that are willing to come up and bartend, and everyone is donating all of the proceeds to the event, tips and everything. There will also be live music

The Scranton Social Series will present Glamour on the Grass at the Everhart Museum in Scranton. The event will feature live music and a fashion show by local retailer Nada & Co. and a mens and womens fashion show thrown by Scrantons Nada & Co. Fashion designer Jay McCarroll is slated to make a guest appearance. We have an artist here in the store, Michael Lambert, whose work hangs here, and I am kind of using it as a jumping-off point for the color scheme of the show, shared Katie Gilmartin, partner at Nada & Co. And the clothes, theyll be fun things, formal things, lots of dresses and summery ensembles. The aim of the event, at least in part, is to reach a different demographic. Were not asking them to auction anything off or give us any extra money or make a contribution or anything like that. Thats not what were doing with this organization, Mr. Organizer said. Were just more or less showing that we can show people a lot of respect and a good time and make them feel good about it at the same time. W

Festival of furry, fluffy fun

WITH THE MODEL OF THE WEEK

HEATHER LYNN SULZ
ummertime in our area is filled with festivals benefitting local charities, churches and organizations so they can continue to do great work and aid in the quality of life of NEPA. One festival in particular was created to help our furry little friends who are in need of a good meal, a safe home and, most of all, love. ShelterFest 2012 at the Griffin Pond Animal Shelter encourages members of the community at large to come out, make a donation and support the many animals that need care each and every day. The event takes place Saturday, June 30 from noon-3 p.m. and offers a chance to come and show these homeless animals that they are not forgotten. It was a collective idea when a few volunteers put their heads together to come up with a summer event that could get the community to come out to the shelter and support it, said cochair Kacie Beck. From there, it became a sort of grassroots event, people took it on, spread the word, gathered donations, and it just took off. Its very exciting, and we hope it can become an annual event. Special events like ShelterFest are vital to the animal shelter as it receives absolutely no aid from the government or any national organizations. Running the shelter each year has a hefty price tag, and so it is the volunteers and donors that keep it running and keep these animals off the streets. This is your shelter, these animals came

The summer is a very busy time with lots of strays and previously owned animals being turned in, so it has never been a better time to support your local shelter or look for a new best friend amongst the animals available. The Griffin Pond Animal Shelter is filled with a diverse collection of animals that are ready for a new home and a new owner who will make them part of a loving family. Besides cats and dogs, pet lovers can choose from turtles, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, snakes and more. ShelterFest provides an opportunity to meet and adopt your new companion during an afternoon of family-friendly events that includes raffles, games, a bake sale and music. We will have an awesome demonstration by First Class

We also have a local rescue group talking about their shelter-dog training program, a groomer will talk about dog and cat grooming issues, our foster homes will talk about fostering for the shelter, and we will be introducing several animals available for adoption to the public, said Beck. The shelter recommends coming in a few days in advance if you are considering adoption so you can be approved and take home your pet during the event. Donations, whether animal supplies or monetary, are encouraged as you will be entered to win prizes for making one. W

Console heroes

ot every game I play is violence and gore, I also like fun and silly kid-friendly games, like Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. Since 2005, there have been several Lego games spanning all sorts of different series, and they are cute, funny, easily accessible and just plain fun for people of all ages. Lego Batman 2 is similar to the other Lego games in most ways, however, it feels like an evolution for the series. This is the Lego game to have an open world, they have all had a hub world where you picked your level, but this truly has an open world that allows you to explore as you see fit. The open world is great, but it does feel a bit clunky. There is no mini, so its sometimes hard to find out where you are supposed to go. It does get frustrating, but not too often. The open world creates room for your flying characters like Superman have a sandbox that feels big enough for them to fly around. Flying is the reason why there hasnt been any good Superman games, and thats because no one has made flying feel right; in this game, the flying feels pretty good. Its not perfect, but its a good try. This is the first Lego game to have voice acting up until now, all of the characters have been silent and just acted out the scenes, which were funny and charming but couldnt tell a story as well. Having the voice acting allows for better storytelling and a

Lego Batman 2, pictured above and below, is an all-around fun play. more impressive and funny experience. The story of Lego games usually follows along with a movie or has just a basic story, Batman 2s story is really good. Lex Luthor is running for president, and he is teaming up with The Joker to try and win the election. The story becomes so epic that it takes Batman, Superman and the rest of the Justice League to stop their insidious plan. The gameplay is similar to the other games: You have your attacks, jump, you can also switch between your characters to reach other areas of the game. If you have a friend, you can play two-player co-op; unfortunately it doesnt do online multiplayer. The new gameplay additions are fun, and there are new suits for Batman and Robin along with special powers for each character. Wonder Woman has her lasso, Superman has laser eyes and Flash can run fast. Playing with each character not only adds fun game play mechanics, but it also lets you explore more of the open world and get more collectables. The actual story is short, you can complete it in about nine hours, but there are so many things to collect that you will be playing for a long time. There wasnt much to dislike besides the map acting a little silly. I would recommend this game to anyone wanting a fun game that is not too tough and for anyone with kids. One word of advice: The home-console version of the game is very different then the handheld systems like the 3DS or the Vita. On handhelds, the story is shortened, and there is no open world, so it feels like a dumbed-down experience. It is still fun because it is a Lego game on the go, but its really not as good as it is on home consoles. If you are a comic book or Lego nerd, or you want a fun family-friendly game, pick up Lego Batman 2 on home consoles today. W

euphoria. But despite the feeling that all of this is larger than you, out of your control, the fact is: It is you. Dont restrain it. Au contraire, can you ride it more often? See where it takes you. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) My high school history teacher focused heavily on the cyclic nature of the past. Hed point out every turn of the wheel, each swing of the pendulum. It wasnt a very inspiring perspective on the past (or the future), implying as it did that our actions have only minute effects. That may be true. I prefer considering stuff like philosophy or science, which continually builds and expands upon the work others have done, with less backward motion. Dont get stuck on perspectives that thwart or stall you. So what if it seems hard for an individual to powerfully influence history? If anyone can, its you. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) My favorite architect, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, believed that perfectly flat floors are spiritually deadening and unnatural. In that spirit, he designed fanciful buildings with wonderfully uneven floors. He built colorful patterns and unique shapes right into his structures, wedding beauty with utility in a harmonious marriage thats hard not to like. The internal schism of purpose youve been complaining about is curable. Your gorgeousness is begging to shine through your every activity. Let it. Sing while you work, dance while you walk, beautify while you clean. By embodying this attitude as best you can, I guarantee not only will you and everything around you be prettier, youll be happier, too. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) What shape is the monster under your bed? Is he hairy? Tusked? Does she have cloven hooves? A tail? Most monsters today are massive. Some fear an out-ofcontrol, oppressive government backed by an ultra-rich military and a corporatized fast-growing prison industry. Others dread the behemoth of international corporate powers already more powerful than some nations. I cling to the hope that those with an awareness of these seemingly unstoppable forces can use our Lilliputian influences to create a future thats actually livable for your average human being. And if anyone can figure out how to make these giant, scary beasts check each other, its your tribe. W
To contact Caeriel, e-mail sign.language.astrology@gmail.com.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Western society tends to view the heart as the seat of the emotions, but many other cultures say the root of intense feelings is actually the liver. It outweighs the heart and is made of softer stuff heart tissue is actually pretty tough. Ive noticed youve been pretty tough lately, too. Do you really need to be so rugged? Might I suggest taking a break from feeling everything with your sturdy, efficient heart and switch to experiencing your emotions from a sloppier, softer organ? Try repeating after me: I love you with all my liver. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) The phone pouts silently in the corner. The sullen mailbox spits only junk and bills in your direction. Your computer stews wordlessly on your desk. So youre feeling neglected by the world? Maybe youre neglecting the world. Heres your assignment: For the next week, contact at least one person per day that deserves your attention. Your incentive: If you get in touch with seven forgotten friends this week, I promise your apartment wont be frozen in time, surrounded by an impassable barrier of thorny roses, and you may get your prince(ss) without all the hassle. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Your ability to pierce or sidestep peoples emotions with ease is at its peak right now, through mid-July. If only you could turn this talent on and off at will. Unfortunately, youre stuck seeing through peoples illusions, crashing through emotional walls and plunging into the depths of your companions internal worlds, whether you or they like it or not. The best thing you can do right now which is also your primary challenge is find your way out of the labyrinthine emotions of your friends and connect that deep feeling to the real world the rest of us are living in. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) When was the last time you saw in color? I mean really noticed the blue of the sky, the green of a leaf or the pink of a neon sign? Sometimes it takes someone or something to wake you up, make you realize that up until that moment, youd been seeing the world in black and white. Suddenly, scarlet spills into the skin of the apple, cerulean floods the eyes of the person who awakened you, saffron unfolds in the center of the daisy. Whether its been minutes or months since youve truly felt alive, your shades of gray are about to go Technicolor again.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Youre the queen of complication these days. You may even be mistaken for a Leo this week, the way youve been smoothly seducing everyone you meet, sometimes snubbing your best friends to do so. Your regal pursuit of your own desires is fine. But if youre going to act like royalty, you must learn the lesson every Leo learns eventually: Even a king is merely servant to the people he rules. Its hard for people to get or stay mad at you, but your friends may find it a whole lot easier soon. A few dignified apologies, belated invitations and a heartfelt phone call or two will go a long way toward averting a revolt. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Youre not a salmon, nor a kite. Its not a good week to play devils advocate or the rebel you excel at. Avoid swimming upstream, and definitely do not attempt to paddle up a waterfall. Keep the wind at your back instead of flying full face into it. Go with the flow whenever you can. Imagine your life as an inflatable orange raft bobbing down a river. This week is a stretch of rapids. Trying to slow down or reach the shore in whitewater is crazy. Kneel right up front and make it your main goal to keep from falling out. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) According to popular legend, some Tibetan monks, through spiritual practice, would become so light they needed to carry rocks in order to keep from floating right off the Earth. Its a lovely thought, isnt it, being that free of all the heaviness
that surrounds you? I cant picture you flying to work instead of using the subway or wearing Velcro shoes in your apartment to prevent bumping your head on the ceiling. Youre still too weighty for that. But I can imagine you shedding many unsightly mental pounds simply by taking yourself less seriously. Get silly, you goof. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) One eminently practical Aquarius I knew years ago had a wisecrack solution to every problem: Duct-tape it. He actually employed this miracle of modern technology repeatedly, often with great success. I applaud your perpetual quest for long-ranging solutions, permanent fixes to your most pressing problems. But sometimes a temporary patch-up job is necessary to hold off disaster while youre waiting for the real solution to arrive. Spare a little time and energy from your big-picture pursuits to make sure all the small pictures stay in their frames. It wont be too hard, sort of the equivalent of holding it together with thick, silvery tape. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Its a bitch being so damn powerful, isnt it, Pisces? I know you often feel battered, tugged and swamped by the maelstrom of powerful emotions within you that theyre out of your control. I picture you clinging to frail tethers of reason, rotting wooden piers of logic and shifty dunes of rationality in an effort to resist being swept away by this tsunami of remorse, that tidal wave of anxiety or

f you take a look around your bathroom, you would be surprised to find out how many toxic chemicals you have just in that one small room. From the cleaners used to scrub the toilet to the shampoo and soap used in your daily cleansing routine, there are toxins everywhere. When youre washing your hair, you think about killing germs, removing dirt and feeling clean and refreshed. You dont think about how youre polluting the environment and harming your health. While we assume that our personal-care products are safe, our assumptions are often wrong and can be dangerous. Some cleaning products used every day may as well be compared to antifreeze or brake fluid since they share the same type of chemical ingredients. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) recently held a six-month investigation on more than 10,000 personal-care products. The study found that one in every 120 products tested contained ingredients classified as human carcinogens by the U.S. government. One brand I was surprised to see on the list was Neutrogenas Transparent Facial Bar for oily skin. The soap contains ingredients that have been linked to cancer and other health problems. I grabbed a few products from underneath my sink to see what

kind of chemicals Im dealing with. I found a few of my products contained sodium laureth sulfate, which is toxic to organs and is a skin and eye irritant. If its toxic to our skin, then it has to be toxic to the environment. Ill be sure to pay more attention and try to buy as many non-toxic products as possible from now on. Triclosan is one of the many chemicals causing concern for environmentalists. Triclosan is in washing liquids, plastic kitchen utensils, toothpastes and soaps. Sadly, the chemical is known to build up in the environment and is very toxic to aquatic life. It has been found in the bodies of dead fish. Unfortunately, wastewater treatment facilities are unable to prevent chemicals used in many household products from escaping into the environment; this raises concern over the growing number of chemicals showing up. So how toxic is your shampoo? Chances are if it doesnt say all natural, youre probably washing a lot of toxins down the drain each morning. The cosmetic and personal-care product industries are a mess. They will use whatever type of advertising tactics they can to get your attention. Just because something says natural doesnt necessarily mean that it is nontoxic. W

Toxins are found in everything from cleaning agents to personal-care products.

Touring feels like this, This is how to stay rested on tour, This is what you should eat. Foster feels like hes lived 10 years worth of memories in a year. He believes all of those experiences will play in to the bands next album, which he hopes to begin writing and recording later in 2012. Although the frontman is focused on Houdini, he left open the possibility for a new single before years end. FTP will be busy on the road and tackling other projects that pop up over the summer, and Foster recently co-wrote a track with Taylor Swift for her forthcoming album. We wrote a song together, and then Ive been working on this song with KNaan, Foster revealed. Love that guy, and hes doing some really cool things. Despite the changes that he and the band have gone through the past 18 months, one thing will stay the same: Foster said he will be doing his own thing on the bands next LP. He never thought pop radio would play Pumped Up Kicks, so hes not about to tailor his writing and recording method. And now that indie rock is even more accepted by Top 40 radio, there certainly isnt a need to fix something that is not broken.

ome credit Foster the People with leading indie rocks movement into mainstream radio, with acts such as fun. and Gotye now reaping the benefits. FTP lead singer Mark Foster is honored people might credit him with changing the spectrum of pop music. Recently Ive had a lot of people, like old friends in the music industry and people in different bands, say that to me, he shared during a recent phone interview from New York. Ive never really thought about it before. Thats like one of the biggest compliments. In an era where electronic dance music seems to rule the airwaves, Pumped Up Kicks broke the mold and became 2011s breakout hit. More than a year later, Foster is still quite busy due to the songs popularity: FTP is currently on tour and set to push Houdini, its fourth single from Torches, to the masses. Im such a different person than I was a year and a half ago, the singer said. Not just personally, but musically. Although in addition to the personal and musical growth, Foster and his band have received a solid professional education as well during the wave of success. When (Pumped Up Kicks) first started, this was our first tour, this was our first a lot of things for us, he said. Its a different pace of life, man, in terms of, like,
