Letter from the editor
As the country begins to recov-
er from the awful mess that Hur-
ricane Sandy left, I consider
myself one of the lucky.
My home in Scranton was
largely unaffected by the storm,
and we retained power throughout
the evening, allowing me to finish
several of the articles youll read
later in this issue. On Tuesday
morning, our office had power
and our presses were running.
Its just one of many strokes of
luck Ive had lately.
In August, I left my position as
the founding staff writer of Scran-
ton newspaper Go Lackawanna to
come to the Weekender, and I was
greeted warmly by a hard-work-
ing and energetic staff. Before I
had fully adjusted, however, long-
time editor Nikki Mascali put in
her two weeks, but thankfully my
good friend and former Go editor
Chris Hughes stepped up to the
plate and filled in as interim
editor while The Times Leader
searched for someone to fill the
position.
Having just moved into a new
role myself, I didnt think to apply
for the editors seat, instead focus-
ing on making the Weekender the
best arts and entertainment week-
ly it could be. Chris and I had
worked together for years, so we
easily fell back into our old hab-
its, working long hours to im-
prove our event listings, writing
unique and compelling cover
stories, and experimenting with
new types of content and page
presentation with the help of
graphic designer Amanda Ditt-
mar, general manager John Pop-
ko, and account executive Kieran
Inglis.
We formed a solid team faster
than Nick Fury formed The
Avengers. More good luck.
We all begged Mr. Hughes to
stay, but he had hoped to return to
his position as online editor at the
Leader as soon as possible. As the
weeks went by, we both began to
wonder who would become the
permanent editor. Then, I re-
ceived a call I never expected.
Lady Luck was not only knocking
she was setting up shop in my
cubicle.
Two weeks later, Ive moved
over one place in the staff listing,
but my goal remains the same
to make this the strongest publi-
cation it can be. Expect a lot of
fun and positive changes moving
forward, but rest assured that all
your favorite Weekender features
will still be waiting for you each
week. Send your thoughts and
suggestions to rhowells@thewee-
kender.com.
You can also wish us luck
finding a new staff writer, but I
have a feeling were on a roll
here.

21ST CENTURY
BREAKDOWN
Green Day announced that
they will cancel their national
tour that was due to launch in
Seattle at the Paramount Theatre
on Sept. 26 and stop by the Mo-
hegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza
in Wilkes-Barre Jan. 10.
The announcement comes just
weeks after singer Billie Joe
Armstrong entered rehab for
substance abuse.
Tickets for these shows will be
refunded at point of purchase.
Additionally, Green Day will
postpone all scheduled appear-
ances for the months of January
and February 2013. New dates
for these rescheduled shows will
be announced shortly, and previ-
ously purchased tickets will be
honored on the new dates, ac-
cording to an Oct. 29 press re-
lease.
Obviously the timing for this
isnt ideal, but Billie Joes well-
being is our main concern, said
bassist Mike Dirnt in a statement.
We are happy to say that
Billie Joe is doing well, and we
want to thank you all for the
outpouring of support and well
wishes that we have received, and
we cant wait to see you all again
soon.
The band is also moving up the
release date of its eleventh studio
album, Tr! to December 11,
2012 from its original date of
January 15, 2013.
GETTING THE
MESSENGER OUT
Jonah Productions recently
released two movie-quality trail-
ers to promote the local premiere
of the award-winning drama
The Messenger at the Phoenix
Performing Arts Centre (409
Main St., Duryea) in November.
Set in real time, The Mess-
enger is a play chronicling the
last hour of a death row inmate.
Theatergoers follow a death row
inmate through his final 60 min-
utes as a priest desperately tries
to get the mans final confession.
As these men fight their own
personal demons with time run-
ning out, all under the eagle eye
of a clock-watching guard, the
audience will find that redemp-
tion from sin often comes from
the unlikeliest of places, accord-
ing to a press release.
Written by Paul Kodiak, a
former resident of East Strouds-
burg, The Messenger had
several developmental readings
in New York leading to an Equity
Showcase Production at Polaris
North Theatre in the early 1990s,
and following rewrites, the play
went on to win the 2011 Original
Playwrights Contest winner at
Shawnee Playhouse for a Dra-
matic One Act, which led to a
production there last January.
The promotional trailers can be
found on the plays Facebook
event page at facebook.com/
events/125490230935057/.
After a preview Nov. 8, The
Messenger will run Nov. 9, 10,
16, and 17 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 11
and 18 at 2 p.m. Call
570.457.3589 for tickets. W
This Sept. 21, 2012 file photo shows Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day on stage at
the iHeart Radio Music Festival at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Green Day has
canceled its upcoming performance in New Orleans. The band first cancelled a
headlining gig at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience before chopping a number of
tour dates, including a January stop in Wilkes-Barre. The announcement comes less
than a month after Armstrong headed into treatment for substance abuse.

STRANGE CRIME STORIES & MORE
Chuck Shepherd | Weekender Wire Services
THE RESURRECTION WILL
BE TELEVISED
If the Messiah descends from
the Mount of Olives as foretold
in the Bible, wrote the Los An-
geles Times in an October dis-
patch from Jerusalem, the two
largest Christian television net-
works in the U.S. promise to
cover the arrival live from a
hilltop in the city. Daystar Televi-
sion has already been beaming a
24/7 webcam view, and Trinity
Broadcasting Network bought
the building next door to Days-
tars in September and has al-
ready begun staging live and
pre-recorded programs using the
broad expanse of the Holy Land
city as background.
PUBLIC URINATION
Once again, in September, the
upscale Standard Hotel, in New
York Citys lower Manhattan,
made headlines for the views it
provides to amazed pedestrians.
In 2009, it was the hotels floor-
to-ceiling windows showcasing
amorous couples at play (unless
the guests knew to draw the
curtains), especially delighting
out-of-towners seeking inexpen-
sive entertainment. Now, a Sep-
tember 2012 report in the New
York Daily News revealed that
the restrooms at the hotels
Boom-Boom Room restaurant
posed a bigger problem: no cur-
tains at all. One restroom user,
from Australia, said, Sitting on
the royal throne, you dont expect
a public viewing. On the other
hand, the Daily News noted one
gentleman relieving himself and
waving merrily at the gawking
crowd below.
BITE SIZED BOUNTY
Earlier this year, the National
Football League suspended some
New Orleans Saints players and
the head coach for having a re-
ward system that paid players for
purposely injuring opponents. In
September, coach Darren Craw-
ford of the Tustin (Calif.) Pee
Wee Red Cobras team was sus-
pended when former players
reported that the coach ran an
apparently similar scheme among
his 10- and 11-year-olds, using a
cash reward of up to $50 for the
hit of the game (with last years
top prize going to the boy who
left an opposing running back
with a mild concussion). At press
time, the investigation was ongo-
ing, and no charges had been
filed.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
In September, the National
Geographic cable TV show Ta-
boo featured three young Tokyo
partiers as examples of the ba-
gel head craze in which fun-
lovers inject saline just under the
skin of the forehead to create a
swelling and then pressure the
center to achieve a donut look
that lasts up to 24 hours before
the saline is absorbed into the
body. Some adventurers have
injected other areas of the body
-- even the scrotum.
MONEY FOR NOTHING
In Ventura, Calif., in Septem-
ber, once again, a scammer tried
to bilk victims out of money by
assuring them that he could dou-
ble their cash (in this case,
$14,000) merely by spraying it
with a secret chemical. (Of
course, the victims had to wait
several hours for their newly
doubled cash to dry and eventu-
ally discovered that the scammer
had substituted blank paper and
by that time was long gone.) But
the weirdest aspect of the scam is
that people who are so unsophis-
ticated as to fall for it somehow
managed to amass, in this tight
economy, $14,000 cash to begin
with.
BOOMERANG BIRDS
In October, Britains Gra-
vesham Borough Council, weary
of neighbors complaints about
the noise and smell from Roy
Days brood of 20 birds, ordered
him to remove them and find
them a new home. Day, a mem-
ber of the National Pigeon Rac-
ing Association, told reporters of
the futility of the order: They
are homing pigeons. Said a
friend, wherever Day sends them,
(T)hey will just fly straight back
to him. ... He has never lost one.
FINAL RESTING PLACE
James Davis, 73, has been
ordered by the town of Steven-
son, Ala., to disinter his wifes
body from his front yard and
re-bury it in a cemetery. The
front yard is where she wanted to
be, said Davis, and this way he
can visit her every time he walks
out the front door. Davis, who is
challenging the order at the
Court of Appeals, said he feels
singled out, since people in Ste-
venson have raised pigs in their
yard, have horses in the road
here and gravesites here all
over the place.
WHATS ON THE MENU?
It has been four years since
News of the Weird mentioned the
growing controversy over one
response to Perus stray-cat prob-
lem, especially in the suburbs of
Lima, and still, the outrage con-
tinues. Each September, the city
of La Quebrada holds its Gastro-
nomic Festival of the Cat, in
which the countrys chefs try to
out-do each other with creative
gourmet feline (e.g., cat stew,
grilled cat with huacatay herbs),
which some Peruvians, of course,
believe to be aphrodisiacs. Said
one Peruvian, such cultural
events are our roots and cant be
forgotten. Even so, animal rights
activists have stepped up their
protests.

HOW ABOUT THOSE MEASUREMENTS?
For a September beauty contest of female
college students in Chinas Hubei province,
certain minimum body requirements were
established at the outset (beyond the
traditional chest, waist and hip sizes). Among
them, according to a report in Chinas Global
Post: The space between the candidates
pupils should be 46 percent of the distance
between each pupil and the nearer ear, and the
distance between a candidates nipples should
be at least 20cm (7.8 inches). W

Weekender Staff Writer
J
eff Brauer predicted
the presidential race
in Pennsylvania was
over a long time
ago.
Were not a swing state.
I didnt think we were going
to be a swing state since last
spring when (former U.S.
Sen.) Rick Santorum pulled
out. When he did, a lot of the
attention left Pennsylvania and
never returned, the Keystone
College professor of political
science said.
The reality is we havent
been important this year.
Thats one message, like
so many others this election
season, that Republicans arent
buying.
Earlier in the year, when
we didnt think Pennsylvania
was going to be in play, it
was easier to not do so much
with (the campaign to elect
Mass. Gov. Mitt) Romney.
Now, everythings heating
up, so were going non-
stop, countered Mountain
Top resident Bob Zaruta, 28,
president and co-founder of
the Luzerne County Young
Republicans. I absolutely
think its a battleground state.
Im seeing a tremendous
amount of enthusiasm,
particularly on the Republican
side. Its a reverse of the 2008
campaign when (President
Barack) Obama had his
troops all red up, added
Bill Urbanski, of Kingston,
the chairman of the Luzerne
County Republican Party.
Local Democrats
Political parties locally, nationally not done vying for votes
and Republicans arent willing
to give up the ghost of their
candidate bringing home the
spoils of victory in the general
election on Nov. 6 even if
the candidates havent shown
heavy interest here in months.
All you have to do is look
at where theyre going and
where theyre spending the
money... If we were in play,
the candidates themselves
would be here, Brauer said.
Most importantly, theyd be
spending more money here.
If the Romney campaign
had spent money here, the
state could have been more of
a battleground, according to
Wilkes University professor of
political science Tom Baldino.
The lack of attention could be
somewhat of a relief.
Personally, Im glad
its not, because I couldnt
have handled all of those
commercials, Baldino said.
Urbanski still hopes that
Republicans in NEPAcan
gain a boost if either Romney
or vice presidential nominee
Paul Ryan touch down at
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
International Airport in
Avoca before Nov. 6.
Avisit from one of
the nations top two
Republicans couldnt hurt
their chances, considering
Pennsylvania has gone blue
in terms of electoral college
votes since 1992, according
to the National Archives.
ONE CENTRAL
ISSUE
As it is in every election,
people want to know whos
going to be best for them,
for their family, and for
their profession. Thats
always the issue that
people have, no matter
what year it is,
Plains resident and
Luzerne County Young
Democrats President
Thomas Shubilla, 28,
said.
This year, the unifying
issue is the economy.
It is the major issue,
Baldino said.
Unemployment is relatively
high; wages have not kept
pace, unless youre in the
1 percent and then theyve
outpaced the cost of living
by a dramatic amount; and
people are fearful, even those
with jobs, about whether or
not they will have a job going
forward.
Funding for education and
social issues are also driving
the discussion for students at
both Wilkes and Keystone,
according to professors.
Issues at the state level
may help ll polling
places, rather than national
politics simply trickling
down, one local leader
suggested.
I rmly believe we
are going to have a strong
Democratic showing in
Pennsylvania... I believe
people here are looking
at whats going on in
our Republican-
controlled state

government, Luzerne County
Democratic Committee
Chairperson and Wyoming
Mayor Bob Boyer, 46, said.
I think some of the things
that the Republican majority
is proposing here are going to
assist the Democratic vote.
I think you often look in
your own backyard anymore.
That may bring a different
electorate out on Tuesday.
While Pennsylvania may
not be a swing state in the
presidential election, at least in
Brauers eyes, other races on
the local level and in the U.S.
Congress are still largely up
for grabs, he said.
YOUNG
ENOUGH TO
VOTE
There is still a remnant of
the movement among young
voters who rallied behind
Obama in
2008. That support resulted in
record high voter registration
and turnout in the Keystone
State, according to the
Pennsylvania Department of
State.
It was clearly Obama
whose message resonated with
lots of people, but particularly
young voters. What he was
offering, this hope and change,
was inspirational and
future-oriented,
Baldino said. Four
years later, they
dont see a lot
of change,
and theyve
lost some
hope.
For better or worse, theyve
disengaged. Not all of them,
but enough of them.
Voter registration is only
down by 268,495 people
from 2008 with 8,487,093
registered for 2012, according
to statistics retrieved from the
Pennsylvania Department of
State on Oct. 24.
Shubilla said he has
witnessed a slight
scaling back of
participation in
this election
cycle among Young Dems.
There is, however, absolutely
not a sense of apathy among
area voters, he noted.
Similarly, the Young
Republicans have not had a
hard time nding volunteers to
knock on doors or make phone
calls, Zaruta said.
AN IMPORTANT
DECISION
We can all sit back and
complain, but we cant do
anything if we really dont
vote, Boyer stressed.
Voting is critical for the
legitimacy of the democracy,
Baldino echoed.
Imagine if you had an
election and only ve people
voted, he said. How many of
the rest of the population are
going to say that the outcome
is legitimate?
Urbanski pointed to U.S.
Sen. Pat Toomeys race two
DIG THROUGH
THE MESS
I think the problem is that we kind of expect that
theyre not going to tell the truth, Keystone College
professor Jeff Brauer said of the half-truths and
double talk that can come out in an election year.
Interview subjects for this story suggested a variety
of sites and news networks for voters to weed
through campaign rhetoric and do their own fact
checking on the issues:
politifact.com
factcheck.org
politicspa.com
realclearpolitics.com
You shouldnt believe the rst thing you hear...
Be cautious and sample different sources, Luzerne
County Republican Party Chair Bill Urbanski added.
years ago as a razor thin win
and evidence that every vote
does, indeed, count. That race,
he added, was only accurately
predicted by Susquehanna
Polling and Research, which
put Romney with a slight
advantage over Obama in poll
results released Oct. 18.
The youth have been
greatly disillusioned by
what he promised them in
2008 because so many of
his campaign promises have
simply not turned out,
Urbanski said, adding that
those voters either may not
turn out at all on Tuesday or
may instead vote for Romney.
Either way, voters of all
ages have an important say in
the next four years.
Its your future, Shubilla
emphasized. W

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
Goldilocks would be in her
glory at least as far as
mobile computing is con-
cerned.
The arrival of the iPad
Mini means tablet devices
are now available that run
the gamut from micro- to
mega-sized.
There still seems to be
some debate about what
functionality to include in
which sized devices.
Ive seen mid-sized tablets
with normal telephone func-
tionality, and Ive seen
smallish tablets only slightly
larger than a regular smart-
phone that only sported Wi-

While traveling recently, I
found that a full-sized iPad
can be inconvenient to use in
situations where space is at a
premium. I saw that a small-
er device could retain the
practical aspects of a tablet
and allow me to not irritate
fellow air passengers while
retrieving the device, for
example, or to drop it in a
pocket while walking around.
The release of the iPad
Mini seems to show that
Apple recognizes those vir-
tues as well.
Another point in the favor
of smaller tablets the
smaller size can come with a
reduced price tag, at least in
some cases.
For the Apple Mini, the
entry price is a relatively
steep $329. But the least
expensive iPad Mini does fit
neatly into Apples current
pricing structure, with the
absolute top-of-the-line mod-
el clocking in at $659, some-
what above where the full-
sized iPad falls.
Despite the Minis smaller
screen real-estate 7.9 inch-
es diagonal compared to its
larger siblings 9.7-inch dis-
play the performance
hasnt been substantially
reduced so come Novem-
ber when the iPad Mini goes
on sale, early adopters can
trade a small chunk of
screen real estate for some
savings.
There has always been a
wide range of Android-pow-
ered tablets, ranging in price
from $200 to $800, but it
doesnt seem like there will
be standardized sizes for
them anytime soon.
This poses something of a
problem for application de-
velopers its hard to make
an app look good on both a
4-inch and a 9-inch screen
and in some cases, they may
not work properly, even
while running on hardware
that is substantially similar.
Apple at least requires sub-
mission of separate apps
optimized for any device
they are to be published on.
The iPad Mini begins ship-
ping Nov. 2.

There is more practicality

Music
Its easy to see why Brendon
Small still remembers his first
guitar.
It was a toy guitar with a built-
in speaker he purchased from
Toys R Us at the age of 11 or
12 with money he saved from
mowing lawns. At 14, he met a
friend who became like a cool
big brother with a musical li-
brary to be reckoned with that
may have pushed his passion
even further.
I knew Guns N Roses at that
point and Def Leppard. Thats
about it. Hes like, OK, that
stuffs cool, but theres a lot of
other cool stuff. So we made me
a mix tape of Slayer and King
Diamond and Megadeth and
Exodus and Metallica and all
kinds of s--t. Everything, Small
recalled.
By the end of that day, I was
playing (Black Sabbaths) Iron
Man and like a blues shuffle,
and I hadnt even really heard the
real Iron Man at that point.
Worshipping guitar gods like
Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Eddie
Van Halen, the Springfield, Ill.
native thought he was ready to
perform in front of an audience.
I think the big leadoff point
for me to become a worthy guitar
player was I had to go and humil-
iate myself publicly first and do a
terrible job at this guitar competi-
tion when I was 15. I really, really
ate s--t hard. I really sucked. I got
nervous, I flailed, he related.
My ego was just crushed
because thats how I identified
myself. I introduced myself as a
guy who played guitar.
Also interested in becoming an
actor, writer, and comedian, he
knew he had to conquer his stage
fright, which he eventually did
through open mics. He would
become known for his animated
sitcom Home Movies, running
from1999 until 2004, but he
never stopped playing guitar,
writing and performing the
shows music and opening the
door to his next project, Metal-
ocalypse, also on Cartoon Net-
works Adult Swim.
Small went from a show about
young kids making movies to
one about a death metal band
called Dethklok who becomes
the seventh largest economy on
the planet. Keeping other band
parodies in mind, he was careful
not to make just another Spinal
Tap.
Thats what most comedy
music projects are a farce about
a band on its way out. Thats
Tenacious D, thats Flight of the
Conchords, thats all that stuff,
and theyre really, really talented,
funny people, so I thought, I
cant add to that. I have to do
something else. Its a very sim-
ple switcheroo, he said.
While he admits its production
is a Herculean effort, he essen-
tially created a job he cant be
fired from, serving as head
writer, voice actor, composer,
and performer of the successful
cartoon, which has run for four
seasons thus far. It has also pro-
duced three albums, most of
which focus on everyday brutal-
ity rather than death, as the genre
implies.
When a house is worth less
than it was, like when the market
just dropsand then its worth
half that, where does that other
half of the money go? The
analyst (on TV) goes, Well,
thats a really good question
because that money disappears. It
turns into nothing I thought,
That is the most brutal thing Ive
ever heard in my life, Small
said of the inspiration for Crush
the Industry from their latest
record, Dethalbum III, which
recently debuted at number 10 on
the Billboard Top 200.
Being dead is pretty brutal,
but theres a lot of other s--t thats
brutal thats not being dead, like
going to the dentist is brutal.
Flying coach is brutal. Humidity
is brutal.
Small also takes the fictional
band on the road in a live multi-
media experience, joining Machi-
nehead, All That Remains, and
Black Dahlia Murder at The
Electric Factory (421 North 7th
St., Philadelphia) on Oct. 31.
Its clear that his days of stage
fright are long over.
You can enjoy it, and you get
this whole visual experience
Its a really great back-and-forth
that we have with the audience
that I dont think you could get
anywhere else, he noted. This I
really enjoy doing Its the best
possible scenario.
In the end, though, Small em-
phasizes that its still all about his
guitar.
I want to make sure my guitar
playing is good on every record.
Thats what I care about the
most. Again, thats what this
whole project is its me trying
to reconnect with my guitar. Its a
big honeymoon with me and my
guitar. It really is.

Having amassed an impressive
number of his own hit songs and
performing on studio hits with
everyone from Don Henley to
Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsbys
plateau may have occurred in
1987 when his first single, The
Way It Is, climbed the charts
and helped him receive the tro-
phy for Best New Artist at the
Grammy Awards.
While the accolades are cer-
tainly respectful to the career
Hornsby has had, there have been
many changes throughout his last
few decades, including numerous
hit songs (Mandolin Rain, and
Valley Road amongst others), a
brief stint in the Grateful Dead,
and a new band, The Noise-
makers, with whom he has been
enjoying constant touring.
So, what can his longtime fans
expect when he comes to the
F.M. Kirby Center this Friday,
Nov. 2, for a solo piano tour?
Sure, the hits will be there, but
Hornsby has been dabbling in
some new music which breaks
away from the Adult Top 40
classification that followed him
in the late 80s and 90s.
I consider myself to be really
nice in playing four or five of the
hits every show, Hornsby said
from his home in Williamsburg,
Va. Actually, the most popular
parts of my solo concerts are
songs that I perform from our
play, SCKBSTD (read Sick
Bastard). I play two or three of
the songs from itTheres a
song sung by the FedEx driver,
the UPS driver, and the postal
delivery man known as The Holy
Trinity of Home Delivery: We
are The Holy Trinity of Home
Delivery/Guided by divinity,
exemplary, proficiency/The three
guys you admire most/FedEx,
Brown and the Holy Post/Wives
in our vicinity/We make their
legs go quivery/We are the Holy
Trinity of Home Delivery.
Another example?
Theres another song that I
sing as a woman, he said. A
wife whose husband drives her so
crazy, she fantasizes about taking
a baseball bat and whacking his
head off called Wheres the Bat.
Its morbid little fun to imagine
that head/Louisville Sluggered
and swept under the bed. This is
pretty entertaining stuff. As I get
older, I just like to write funny
stuff.
Aside from the SCKBSTD
tracks, Hornsbys solo shows
allow the pianist more room to
explore his music, which is
something he enjoys doing in the
band format, but finds different
freedom in when its just him on
stage.
Musically, its very different
in some senses, and very similar
in others, he said. Our Noise-
makers gig is very free and we
havent had a set list in years. We
take a lot of requests, so theres
always a lot of spontaneity thats
possible there. Thats the same
here (solo). Whats different is,
since its just one person, I can
really be even freerI can go
anywhere I want. I can slow it
down if I want to, I can change
keys or go into a different feel on
the spot. We do that a lot, as
much as any band I know does it.
Obviously, its easier to do when,
as The Troggs would say, theres
just one (expletive) mind on it.
That mind has been working
meticulously to adapt his songs
into a solo performance where he
finds himself getting back to his
musical roots, while adding
different arrangements to some
of the tracks.
Theres a lot of rootsy playing
in the solo shows, he said. Like
say Valley Road played blues
style. Thats more elemental and
traditional in its approach than
lots of things well do with the
band. Its more singer/songwriter
you can sayIts all about pro-
jecting a strong pulse, even when
Im solo piano. Its also very
much about two-handed inde-
pendence, which is something
Ive been heavily involved with
for the last 16 or 17 years. Basi-
cally having a strong groove in
the left hand, but being very free
rhythmically in the right hand.
Its sort of like splitting your
brain.
As far as his Kirby Center
show, Hornsby feels his audience
has come to appreciate what can
be done with only a piano and
promises a night full of hits and,
more importantly, just some
all-around good music.
Certain people come to my
concerts to hear a nostalgic night
out, and Im feeling pretty kind
about that, he said. I even play
a song I didnt write but played
on the record, Bonnie Raitts I
Cant Make You Love Me,
which has become a classic no-
wOften times the best mo-
ments of the concert are either
the SCKBSTD songs or some
of the songs that are sort of pian-
istic tour-de-forces. I think its a
very literate audience that comes
to my concerts, and they really
recognize whats going on.

There are certain traits about
any Taylor Swift song new or
old that are pretty much given.
The tunes are always going to be
emotional, confessional, and
bluntly honest.
But with Red, Swifts fourth
go at a studio album, she jumps
outside of the country box and
experiments a bit.
Swift has taken a giant leap
away from her traditional country
style. There are a few clich-
twangy country ballads that you
would expect, but she strongly
travels down the pop road. The
first organic instrument doesnt
appear until the third track).
Opening the record with indie
rock vibes, State of Grace
sounds like it could be played
between sets at a Coldplay con-
cert. From that, she leads into a
love-story, sure-country hit, the
title track. Even with some Lady
Gaga- and Katy Perry-inspired
effects, it might be one of her
best.
Swift embraces heavier pro-
duction, including auto-tune, on
tracks I Knew You Were Trou-
ble and 22. The middle of the
album is where the record gets
bland. The lyrics are weak, mun-
dane, and sound like any past
Swift record. She fails to give
listeners something fresh and
stays quite predictable.
Stay Stay Stay is one to
expect big things from. It con-
tains the same pop-country
traits that first single We Are
Never Ever Getting Back Togeth-
er has, but may be even more
contagious. Sad Beautiful Trag-
ic is a complete 180 degree turn
and may be the most heart-
wrenching song Swift has ever
composed.
Diehard fans will fall in love
with Red, but the average lis-
tener may be disappointed. Out
of the 16 tracks, the shortest is
3:17 with some pushing five
minutes which causes it to drag
on at times.
Overall, its the same story
with Taylor. Expect four to six
monster hits, huge stadium tours
themed to the record, and then
another batch of tunes on a new
record in about two years.

'House of Gold'
a dark delight
The eccentric, heavyset Brazilian
soul iconoclast born Sebastiao Ro-
drigues Maia lived only 55 years
enough to leave behind a wealth of
timelessly fresh, vibrantly funky
music.
Coinciding with what would have
been his 70th birthday, Luaka Bop
recently released this enthralling set
of prime 70s Maia material, his
gruff yet elastic Portuguese and
English vocals heard on 15 original
songs proving him an estimable era
contemporary of Sly and the Family
Stone or Curtis Mayfield.
It caps the labels decade-plus
efforts to compile a worthy show-
case for the hard-living artist, still
under-recognized outside his native
country. (Tellingly, the album is the
latest in the World Psychedelic
Classics series that the imprint
launched with its revelatory Os
Mutantes compilation in 1999.)
Liner notes detail Maias colorful
rise from Rio de Janeiro poverty to
youthful sojourn in New York to
cult membership back home in Bra-
zil.
The tunes make him unforgettable,
from thoughtful, slow-burn jams
such as the title track to the guitar-
flash-fortified Que Beleza, remi-
niscent of the Isley Brothers, to the
easy-swangin early disco-funk ver-
sion of Maias irresistible hometown
homage Do Leme Ao Pontal
which, truly, one might want to go
on forever, but of course.

Theydont knowwhere toput
us, jokedAlexis P. Suter of her
bands eclectic, genre-bendingroots
smorgasbord. The Brooklyn-born
Suter andher banddabble in every-
thingfromrock, blues, gospel, and
funk, all wrapped upinthe boom-
ing, soul-shudderingvocal thunder
that is Suters vocal deliverya
baritone growl breathed fromthe
veryvoice of God.
Her music maydefylabeling, but
one things clear shes goingto
make sure everylast ear thats
willingtolistenis picking upwhat
shes puttingdown.
I want the world to hear us, she
said. This message is for the
world. Theyneedthe healing.
Were ministers of sound, andIm
fromthe political party of love.
Headliningthe River Street Jazz
Caf onSaturday, Nov. 3in support
of her current Hipbone Records
release, TwoSides, Suter brings a
showthats part spiritual revival,
part juke joint throwdown-
straight-from-the-heart testifying
that drips with rawemotion.
Recentlynominated for a Blues
Music Award for Best Female
Blues/Soul Artist, Suter has muses
as diverse as a devotional church
upbringing, anda mother with a
musical education fromNewYork
Citys JulliardSchool her mother
sangwitheveryone fromMavis
Staples toDionne Warwick.
I remember beingas young as 3,
doingchurchrecitals, Suter re-
called. It just grewfromthere -
Ive beenaroundit all my life. Then
I got intothe blues, its like Gospel
upside down - theyre both in-
spiring. Some of it has a message of
suffering. Blues andGospel go
handinhand, andthats what Im
doingnow.
Inthe years since her 2005 debut
disc, Suga Fix, Suters managed
tocatchthe ears of some musical
heavyweights, sharing the stage
withartists like B.BKing and Etta
James. She perhaps had no bigger
fanthanthe late Levon Helmof
The Bandfame.
Levonreallyunderstood us,
Suter explained. He really got our
music.
As anearlysupporter, Helm
wouldhave Suter andher band play
at his Midnight Rambles, late-night
concerts heldat his Woodstock,
N.Y. home studio, affectionately
dubbedThe Barn.
We openedhis Rambles around
97-98times, Suter recalled.
WithHelms blessing, Suter and
her bandbeganto hit the road hard.
We didnt want torely on Levon
for anything, she said. We wanted
to spread our wings and go as far as
we could. Levonalways wanted us
to get to the next level. He always
wanted to knowwhere we were and
howwe were doing. Its been a
steady climb, but we keep it mov-
ing.
Anytime people tryto knock us
down, we just sendemlove.
Inthe end, its all about connect-
ing with anaudience for Suter, who
noted that she andthe band are
constantly working on newmateri-
al, tirelesslyplugging away at fes-
tivals and clubs nationwide. She
spoke of turning the next gener-
ation on to her creedof hope, love,
andrebirth through music.
Those are the hearts you have to
grasp, she said. Theyre the ones
that can continue the message. Its
all about communicating through
the music.
When youlook deep in your-
self, you find that youre probably
sharing something that youve
never sharedwith anyone else,
except through song.

For the better part of three dec-
ades, Trey Anastasio has been
known as the singer and guitarist
for perennial jamband favorites,
Phish. Though the jampowerhouse
has helped establish Anastasios
name in the music scene and given
himthe opportunity to play every-
where fromcolleges to festivals like
Bonnaroo, the guitarist has found
time to be involved with different
ensembles.
One of those outfits, the Trey
Anastasio Band, made its way to
the Sherman Theater in Strouds-
burg on Oct. 22 for a nearly sold-
out showon its brief East Coast tour
in support of its newalbum, Trav-
eler.
While Anastasio and Co. per-
formed all of Traveler throughout
the night, the songs were wisely
separated into different spots of the
show, which allowed for some
fan-friendly material like the funky
opening of Cayman Review. Its
hard not to appreciate the tight
musicians Anastasio has on the
road with him, like keyboardist Ray
Paczkowski, who added some fine
almost clavicle-sounding fills
throughout the evening.
Following an upbeat take on
Last Tube and a jazzy version of
Magilla, cuts fromTraveler
started making their way into the
mix beginning with the opening
track, a piano-heavy Corona.
Scabbard, a rhythmically tight
jazz fusion track fromhis new
album, led perfectly into one of the
higher points of Traveler, a slow
but concise Frost.
After a groove heavy Drifting
and some fine saxophone work
fromRussell Remington on Bur-
lap Sack and Pumps, fans were
treated to one of the better live jams
in Phishs repertoire, a trippy Gotta
Jibboo. Paczkowski again added
brilliant fills on the keys, while
Anastasio rounded out the sound
with tight soloing.
Valentine, another cut from
Traveler, came off brilliantly with
some nice harmonies and brass
playing fromsingers Natalie Cress-
man and Jennifer Hartswick. Push
on Til the Day ended the first set
with some salsa-influenced drum-
ming fromRuss Lawton.
Following a brief break, the
second set brought six cuts from
Traveler, including the set open-
ing The Land of Nod. Anastasio
delved into a stoic take on the Phish
staple Sand before launching into
another newcut, the haunting
Architect. The slower Wherever
You Find It served as a nice mo-
mentumchange before kicking
things up with the new, Pigtail.
Showing his musical diversity,
the reggae-influenced Windora
Bug and the exploratory Good-
bye Head meshed into more songs
fromhis newalbum, beginning
with the laid-back Let Me Lie. In
a bit of appreciation fromhis fans,
Anastasio seemed genuinely hum-
bled by the crowd singing along to
the lyrics on the trippiest cut from
Traveler, a cover of the Gorillaz
hit Clint Eastwood.
Wrapping up the second set with
the newalbums title track, Anasta-
sio brought out the fan favorites
during the encore. Throughout the
night, Anastasio led the band with
his famous Languedoc electric
guitar, but for the encore he brought
out his custom-made Martin acous-
tic for a rousing version of the Phish
mainstay Heavy Things. Switch-
ing back to the electric and telling a
story about howthe next song was
the first one he wrote with the Trey
Anastasio Band, the group ended
the night with a rousing version of
First Tube.
While Anastasio is primarily
known for his role in Phish, his side
projects mainly the Trey Anasta-
sio Band allowthe musician to
explore angles that may not be
found at Phish concerts. If Mon-
days near-capacity showwas any
indication, it appears as though
Anastasio will keep this band trav-
elling for many years to come.

movie review
From the perspective of
Cloud Atlas, our lives are not
defined by birth, death, and the
vast in-between. We return
throughout time as different
people, influencing events and
the fates of others in unimagina-
ble ways. Nothing is accidental.
That sounds like a good recipe
for a flop, and the limp perform-
ance of Cloud Atlas at the box
office superficially suggests
thats the case. (By the same
logic, you could say that the poor
debut of Fun Size means peo-
ple hate Halloween.)
Cloud Atlas is enjoyable,
perhaps memorable, because
directors Lana and Andy Wa-
chowski (the Matrix trilogy)
and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola
Run) present its heady concepts
early, clearly, and use them to
entertain usnot as a form of
philosophical indoctrination.
Adapted from David Mitchells
acclaimed 2004 book, Cloud
Atlas employs a high-profile,
heavily made-up castincluding
Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and
Hugh Grantplaying different
roles over six plotlines in six
different eras.
Heres the distilled version:
More than 100 years from now, a
robotic fabricant and fast food
worker in Neo Seoul (Doona
Bae) discovers she is a tool of
revolution. In 1970s San Francis-
co, an intrepid reporter (Berry)
discovers a nuclear cover-up,
thanks to an elderly source
(James DArcy) with a deep
connection to Robert Frobisher
(Ben Whishaw), the composer of
a beautiful, obscure classical
piece from the 1930s. After work,
Frobisher reads the 19th century
travel journal of a wealthy young
man (Jim Sturgess), who was
helped by a stowaway slave (Da-
vid Gyasi).
Each plotline employs a differ-
ent style. Frobishers battle with
his impatient, heartless mentor
(Jim Broadbent) is a romantic
drama; the wonderful Broadbent
also stars in the loopy, modern-
day comedy segment that takes
place in an insane asylum. An-
other, starring Hanks and Berry,
occurs in an apocalyptic far-away
future featuring horse-riding
psychopaths and everyone talk-
ing like Adam Sandlers charac-
ter in The Waterboy.
Under the steady hand of
Tykwer and the Wachowski sib-
lings (the trio also wrote the
screenplay), the movie jumps
from one era to another but noth-
ing feels jagged or disconnected.
Its visually sumptuous and fea-
tures impeccable editing. Images
and dialogue effortlessly steer
one scene into the next; the mo-
mentum never falters. The direc-
tors assemble this massive puzzle
piece by piece, keeping the mess-
age steady even when the tone
shifts.
Thats why the movie rarely
drags despite its nearly three-
hour running time. Cloud Atlas
isnt about ideas, but watching
the beliefs weve pondered dur-
ing idle moments Is everything
connected? Do we live forev-
er?unfold in every possible,
delicious genre: the detective
story, the caper comedy, the
heart-breaking romance.
Cloud Atlas is unapologet-
ically, unabashedly epic. But,
really, how else do you expect to
tell the story of our lives? The
good news is we may get more
than one chance to make things
right. When other movies stiff-
arm us with their intellectual
precociousness, mistaking in-
scrutability for depth, Tykwer
and the Wachowskis want us to
understand that we can be better
than our current selves.
Forget about the stars, the time
jumping, and how everything is
connected. The compassion and
humanity in Cloud Atlas mat-
ter the most.

Daniele Lavele, right, with Chad Szeliga of
Breaking Benjamin at Liams Place in Aug. 2009.
Justin Biebers mentor, super-
star singer Usher, thought some
good came from the teenage
heartthrobs recent on-stage mis-
haps.
We all have those things that
happen, whether its falling on
stage or having those moments,
said the artist, born Usher Ray-
mond, in a phone interview on
The Ralphie Show. But you
know whats cool? That makes
you human.
Usher said there were times
during his career where he ate
something bad before taking the
stage. Of course, the big differ-
ence now is that there are 20,000
people in the crowd who are all
armed with Internet-ready cam-
eras.
Thats the craziest thing,
ever, he noted. Its weird, really.
Its like, Did you come to the
show to film it?
The performer is no stranger to
cameras either and hell be
willingly in front of them next
season as a coach on NBCs
The Voice. Despite reports to
the contrary, Usher says his in-
volvement thus far has been, a
really great fit.
Weve actually been able to
meet, greet, have a good time out
in Los Angeles and the shows
gonna be incredible man, he
said of his vibe with fellow
coaches Adam Levine and
Blake Shelton. Its a respectful
place, a respectful vibe. I came in
and had a good time. Its been
pleasant man.
Usher is especially looking
forward to coaching, mentoring,
and showing America a different
side to his personality.
I think what theyve done
with the talent that theyve
coached they go through the
process of finding people who
are at least at a place where they
can either take constructive crit-
icism or they be a part of the
show and we really help make
them the artist that they can be.
Meanwhile for the Atlanta-
based singer, he is continuing to
diversify and build off a record-
ing career that has spanned over
20 years and 65 million records
sold worldwide. But while he is
getting in to television and
wouldnt rule out a possible
return to Broadway or off-Broad-
way, Usher is also trying to enjoy
himself a little. He recently cele-
brated his 34th birthday in Lon-
don.
I had to get out a little bit, and
had some friends and family at a
club or something like that, and
then on to the after spot, he
recalled. We just had a good
time.
Usher would eventually elab-
orate a little more noting that
after a big birthday dinner, he
linked up with Tom Cruise and a
few other people for the night
cap. But to put it in his context
the major joint would be the
celebration for birthday number
35.

After years of introspection,
Salman Rushdie has finally pub-
lished Joseph Anton a
memoir that discloses his exten-
sive account of life spent off the
grid following controversy.
By 1981, Rushdie had already
become a popular name in the
literary world having acquired
great success for his novel, Mid-
nights Children. But, as of
1988, Rushdies novel, The
Satanic Verses, would transform
his career overnight, changing
the fate of his mortality for years
to follow.
After publishing The Satanic
Verses, Rushdie became uni-
versally recognized for all the
wrong reasons. On Valentines
Day, Feb. 14, 1989, former su-
preme leader of Iran, Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini, found the
work to be nothing short of here-
sy against Islam. Khomeini then
issued a fatw, calling for Rush-
dies death. In only a matter of
hours, Rushdie was forced to
leave his home in exchange for
safety.
Animosity, which was previ-
ously looming over Rushdie in
the wake of a dwindling mar-
riage, had now become ever-
present with the onslaught of
Khomeinis threat. Rushdies only
choice was to flee.
He unlocked the front door,
went outside, got into the car and
was driven away, and although he
did not know it then, so that the
moment of leaving his home did
not feel unusually freighted with
meaning, he would not go back
to that house, his home for five
years, until three years later, by
which time it was no longer his.
Written in third-person, this
memoir is a deep reflection of
Rushdies time spent amid Kho-
meinis fatw. The title of the
memoir, formed from Rushdies
two favorite authors, Joseph
Conrad and Anton Chekhov,
depicts those nine years spent
under the constant threat of
death, and above all, a life with-
out freedom of speech.
While Rushdie survives those
dreaded years, he feels responsib-
le and apologetic to those who
were also placed in harms way
standing by his words. After all,
Khomeinis fatw extended to
all those involved in its publi-
cation who are aware of its con-
tent. The event, which would
remain foreboding for nearly a
decade, became lethal in 1991,
when translator Hitoshi Igarashi,
was murdered only months fol-
lowing Khomeinis command.
In 1998, the war of words
finally came to an end following
a decree from the Iranian govern-
ment. In that same year, Rushdie
would come out of hiding and
resume his life physically un-
scathed, but emotionally
changed.
At 633 pages, Joseph Anton
delves into Rushdies experience
while living under the constant
threat of death, richly coloring
the memoir with discourse of his
varied works, accomplishments,
and even failures. Throughout
the work, readers follow Rushdie
as he attempts to remain alive,
suffering through the deteriora-
tion of multiple relationships and
loss only to eventually find a
passage to hope.

As soon as Greg Cipes picks
up the phone for an interview
with The Weekender, its clear
why Nickelodeon cast him as the
voice of Michelangelo in its new
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
cartoon.
He sounds exactly like his
animated counterpart without
even trying.
The young actor, musician, and
professional surfer fell into voice
acting with the encouragement of
his agent, scoring the role of
Beast Boy in the Teen Titans
animated series.
Shes like, You should do
animation. Of course Im down!
Are you kidding me? I always do
voices. Im a big prank caller kid.
Jerky Boys was actually one of
my favorite things to listen to
growing up, Cipes recalled.
The Jerky Boys inspired me, for
sure, to mess around with voic-
es.
The inspiration for many other
aspects of his life, however, came
from Michelangelo, the fun-
loving radical dude he watched in
the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles cartoon that launched
the worldwide popularity of the
heroes in a half shell, so when he
was cast in the 2012 relaunch of
the series, it easily became his
favorite role.
Its the coolest part I ever
could have got because Mikey
had such an influence on my life.
I grew up watching the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles. They
taught me how to meditate, got
me into martial arts, inspired me
to be a skateboarder and a pro
surfer. Actually, a couple years
later after the Turtles got me into
martial arts I became East Coast
champion martial artist. I got to
be a red and black belt, and to
this day Im still practicing mar-
tial arts. Im a ninja because of
the Ninja Turtles, he enthused.
I never could have imagined
that I would be playing him, so
its such a blessing to be able to
offer this to this next generation
and for those of us that grew up
with it.
All of the characters classic
traits remain intact, he noted,
allowing him to easily step into
the sewers.
Hes the class clown, the
goofy one, the one who was
always having the best time, and
I naturally gravitate towards just
having a great time and being
happy and carefree and all of
those qualities Mikey hadI also
liked his weapons the best. I
thought nunchucks were the
coolest weapons, and orange! I
have to say orange is probably
my favorite color, he explained.
The Turtles have been rebooted
and re-imagined many times over
the years in comic books, mo-
vies, and television shows, but
Cipes believes the cast and crew
of this version have nailed one of
the best adaptations yet.
Its the artists involved. Its
the executives. Everybody has
really put their heart ands soul
into this, and its coming through
and youre feeling it. Its a very
healing show to watch. Its so
fun. I have grown-ups, I have
30-40-year-old people coming up
to me saying, Dude, its the best
show on TV, not even just for
their kids, he pointed out.
The show also boasts an all-
star cast of Sean Astin of Lord
of the Rings as Raphael, Amer-
ican Pie actor Jason Biggs as
Leonardo, and Rob Paulsen as
Donatello, the actor who voiced
Raphael in the original series.
Some changes were made in
the new series, such as Mikeys
nunchaku converting into kusari-
gama when necessary, but the
most obvious update may be his
signature battle cry from Cow-
abunga! with Booyakasha!
though Cipes insists it was han-
dled with the utmost respect.
They asked me if I had a
catchphrase idea during a record-
ing session, and they said give it
a shot. From the depths of who I
am came Booyakasha! and I
felt like the whole world shook at
that moment. I remember look-
ing out of the recording booth
into all the executives and every-
one was laughing and smiling
and cracking up and I just knew
that booyakasha was going to
be the new cowabunga, he
said.
It means All glories to the
most high, or Praise be. Basi-
cally, it means love. Its another
way to say love, and love is the
fiercest and sweetest thing there
is. And thats what the Turtles
are. ...You cant beat love, and
thats why the Turtles will never
be beat.
Cipes felt like a Beatle when
he was mobbed by eager fans at
New York Comic Con a few
weeks ago, but it was his turn to
be the fan when he met the origi-
nal Turtles comic book co-
creator Kevin Eastman, who just
so happened to be doing a Tur-
tles-themed gallery at a comic
store next to his favorite vegan
restaurant on the day he was cast.
Its him. Hes sitting there
drawing and hanging out, and
Im like, Dude, Im Mikey!
Hes like, No way! It was just
serendipity. The whole thing has
been serendipity really. His bless-
ing and his encouragement and
his friendship has definitely
helped everyone, and especially
me.

Maybe it was too much excite-
ment for a school night, as Lewis
Black suggested.
The near capacity house at the
Scranton Cultural Center didnt
seem to mind a bit.
Strolling on stage to Lonely
Boy by The Black Keys at 8:58
p.m. on Oct. 25, Black quickly
set the tone for his Running on
Empty tour, fresh off eight
nights on Broadway.
Were going to have a great
time tonight, but you can count
on this. No matter what happens,
nothing is going to change, he
said. Youre going to wake up
tomorrow and be swimming in
the same river of s--t.
Largely armed with brand new
material, Black fell on some
jokes from the In God We Rust
tour - which also featured a stop
at the Cultural Center in Jan.
2011 - mainly to segue into ex-
panded F-word-filled, finger-
wagging material.
Take, for example, his impres-
sions of the first 12 years of the
new millennium:
This century is s--t, folks! I
was born and raised in the 20th
century, and that was awful. But
wait, we were told! Wait for the
21st century... Look what the f--k
we got!
Or the difference between
Democrats and Republicans:
The Democrats are dumb.
When you ask them a question...
you never get an answer. When
you ask a Republican a question,
they answer immediately, and
you go, Holy f--k! How did you
even think of that, and why did
you say it out loud?
And the origins of Earth Day:
Earth Day came about when I
was in school and we were doing
a lot of drugs. We came up with
Earth Day so we had one day
every year to remind us what
f--cking planet we lived on.
From science fiction becoming
plain fiction to the outrageous
cost of health care, and from
which states should really be
territories to adult attention def-
icit disorder, Black was on a roll
for 81 minutes. He kept many in
the audience bent over in laugh-
ter and wiping tears from their
eyes for most of the set.
A hit-and-miss followspot
plagued Black and his longtime
opener, John Bowman, creating a
bit of impromptu play with the
audience.
When the light went out on
Black less than 10 minutes into
his set, he paced away from the
microphone and looked offstage
for answers on the issue.
I thought for a minute it was a
lunar eclipse, he quipped. Ev-
ery night I work with a spotlight.
Now, its like, f--k, Im not here.
Youre in Scranton, an audi-
ence member replied.
Dont think I dont know it,
Black snapped back.
Dressed in a black shirt with a
gray suit coat and blue jeans,
Black didnt hesitate to give the
audience what it wanted, in-
cluding witty replies to their poor
attempts at comedy.
During a riff on television, he
rhetorically asked why so many
pay for a cable service that offers
so few valuable programs.
HBO, suggested one man
from the balcony.
What a f--king steal! Black
replied. Thats why you had to
sit in the cheap seats.
When another audience mem-
ber in the balcony tried to equate
the vice presidential debate to
Monty Python, Black smugly
thanked her for the old college
try, adding, Just dont jump.
Clearly, each was outwitted
and should have known to leave
the jokes to the pros they paid to
see.
After exiting the stage to Jack-
son Brownes Running On Emp-
ty, Black graciously took a seat
in the Cultural Center lobby to
sign autographs for more than an
hour.
The tour heads to the Mirage
Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas,
Nev., on Nov. 9-10.
If fans are fortunate, hell be
back again in another 21 months
or so with more than a full tank.

Center on his Running on Empty tour.

West Scranton native Theo
Lencicki will be proving the old
saying you cant go home again
wrong this weekend.
The West Scranton High
School graduate will be in town
Friday through Sunday, Nov. 2-4,
as part of the touring company of
West Side Story, presented by
the Broadway Theater League of
NEPA, at the Scranton Cultural
Center (420 N. Washington Ave.,
Scranton).
Its always exciting to come
back to Scranton. Its great to
have the opportunity, especially
since I was there with Hairspray
and Young Frankenstein tours.
They are always welcoming with
opening arms, and its great to see
the hometown crowd, said Len-
cicki.
Lencicki said hes also excited
to be returning to the area with a
production hes sure many are
going to love.
Written by Arthur Laurents,
with music by Leonard Bernstein,
lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and
concept and choreography by
Jerome Robbins, West Side
Story was inspired by William
Shakespeares play Romeo and
Juliet.
Set in New York City in the
mid-1950s, the musical tells the
story of two rival street gangs, the
Jets and Sharks, of different eth-
nic backgrounds, and a member
of the Jets, Tony, who falls in love
with Maria, the sister of the lead-
er of the Sharks.
At the end of the day, (its)
about how love cant survive in a
world with hate, said Lencicki.
Lencicki plays Riff in the play,
leader of the Jets and Tonys best
friend.
Riff is parallel to Mercutio in
Romeo and Juliet, who is Ro-
meos best friend where I am
Tonys best friend, explained
Lencicki. He has been orphaned
by his family. He lives with Tony,
so his family is his gang and
everyone looks to him as the
leader to make the decisions.
Its been a really great experi-
ence, and its been a role that Ive
wanted to play for a while, so Im
excited to have the opportunity.
Lencicki first performed in the
play in 2010 at the Gateway Play-
house in Long Island, N.Y. as a
member of the Jets. He said hes
happy that this time around he
would be tackling the role of Riff.
Its a great role that incorpo-
rates the acting as well as the
singing, because Riff does sing
two of the songs in the show as
well as the dancing, said Len-
cicki. So its a very versatile role
that showcases a lot.
The tour began Oct. 29 in El-
mira, N.Y. and continues until
June making stops in up to 80
cities. The cast will be perform-
ing in Erie on Thursday, before
coming to the Scranton Cultural
Center.
I think the show will remain
fresh and exciting throughout the
tour, but its great that (Scran-
tons) one of the first stops, that
they can experience it fresh out of
the gate, said Lencicki. I think
theyre going to get a great show.
In addition to giving the audi-
ence a great show, being the only
member of the cast from the area,
hes also looking to show the cast
and crew a good time while
theyre in town.
Ill be showing them the Elec-
tric City, laughed Lencicki.
We have five shows that week-
end, so its pretty jam-packed, but
if I could hop in my car and show
them West Side High School and
take them over to the hot spots
over in West Side, I think it would
be a perfect opportunity, especial-
ly given the show were doing.

Center from Nov. 2-4.

CHEEP CHEEP
Infinite Improbability
GEEK CULTURE & MORE
Rich Howells | Weekender Staff Writer
We can debate all day which
presidential candidate is the
smartest, most qualified, or the
most morally fit to run this fine
country of ours, but as your
four-eyed columnist of choice, I
am obligated to ask, Which is
the bigger geek?
Unlike races or religions, we
geeks are not being courted by
either candidate, but its obvious
to us which one fits the profile.
We can smell our own.
Humorist author, actor, and
fellow geek John Hodgman re-
ferred to Barack Obama as the
first nerd president of the mod-
ern era at the 2009 Radio and
TV Correspondents Dinner, and
he may not be exaggerating. The
commander-in-chief collected
Spider-Man and Conan the Bar-
barian comic books as a kid;
starred in one as an adult (Amaz-
ing Spider-Man #583, giving our
hero a fist bump); flashed Leo-
nard Nimoy the Vulcan salute;
posed in front of a Superman
statue for a famous photo on his
official Senate website and with
a toy lightsaber on the White
House lawn years later; hosted an
Ask Me Anything thread on
the social news site Reddit in
August; and is a well-document-
ed BlackBerry addict.
His challenger, former Mass.
Governor Mitt Romney, certainly
dresses dorkier than the incum-
bent, but I came up short when I
attempted to compile a similar
list of geek credentials. When
asked by Fox News what his
favorite novel was, he replied that
it was Battlefield Earth. While
he does get points for choosing a
science fiction book over some
bestseller like Twilight, no
self-respecting nerd would ever
admit to enjoying the work of
crazypants Scientology founder
and L. Ron Hubbard nowadays,
especially after that infamously
awful movie adaptation starring
John Travolta.
Then there was that Washing-
ton Post story in May about
Mitts prep school days and some
pranks that might have gone too
far, including an alleged in-
cident in which he held down a
classmate and cut his bleached
blond hair. The Republican nom-
inee said he couldnt recall the
day in question, however, and the
validity of the story has since
been questioned by friends and
even the victims own family. The
fact remains that Romney did
admit to pulling pranks and other
hijinks. Everyone knows that
geeks are usually the butt of such
jokes, not the culprits.
If he was hoping to scoop up
that vote at all, he probably
would have lost it this week when
Avengers director and geek god
Joss Whedon endorsed him for
president in a satirical video that
said he is the right candidate to
bring about the zombie apoc-
alypse weve all been waiting for.
A jab from the creator of Buffy
the Vampire Slayer and Fire-
fly would have been a right
hook in the geek race.
Cmon, Mitt with a name
like that, you could have been a
contender.
Now imagine if this is how I
really voted, choosing who would
be the leader of the free world by
who could quote Star Wars
more accurately or who wore the
cleverest t-shirt. Its just plain
silly, but this is exactly how mil-
lions of people vote every elec-
tion year.
While its nice to pick a candi-
date you can relate to, Ill admit,
its not the right way to vote. You
shouldnt select someone based
on their looks or how many sub-
jects you both agree upon you
select the best man or woman for
the job, the one with the best
plan for the country that will
benefit the most amount of peo-
ple, whether you agree with
those people or not.
If bumper stickers and cheesy
slogans are any indication, many
citizens cast their votes around
only one issue, but we all know
that theres much more at stake in
this election than your favorite
talking point. If your personal
bias pits you against others, so be
it, but be open-minded to other
beliefs, lifestyles, and view-
points. If were going to brag that
its a free country, it should be
exactly that free for everyone to
live as they please, as jocks,
nerds, or otherwise.
It may be obvious who Im
voting for, but I assure you that it
has nothing to do with geek cred.
It has been fun having a Trekkie
as president, but the only way
well truly live long and prosper
is if we all just learn to get along.
W
Commander-in-geek
President Barack Obama wields a toy light saber in
2009 during a White House event. Hes clearly the
geekier of the presidential candidates, but theres so
much more at stake in this election.

I was moving apartments and
had gotten to the point where I
could no longer carry the remain-
ing items.
The guy I was dating, Arnold,
told me that he would come by
with his two nephews, Chris and
Mark, to help me load our cars
and carry the items into the new
house. I had gotten to the point
that I was out of boxes and want-
ed to get into the new house so
badly that I was taking drawers of
things and just absentmindedly
dumping these items into large
trash bags.
We had been working all day
and were finally onto the last
load. It was small, only a few
final bags, so we all decided to
ride in one car to save on gas and
grab a drink at the conclusion of
the load.
We got to the house and loaded
the back of my SUV. There was
one final bag that we threw into
the back seat between Chris and
Mark. We all piled back into my
car and started the drive across
town.
As is typical in northeastern
Pennsylvania, we hit a pothole
and the whole car jumped. Upon
landing, I heard a faint buzzing.
The buzzing got louder and loud-
er and everyone heard it.
Chris looked at me and pointed
out that the bag wedged between
him and Mark had begun to
vibrate against his arm. It is at
this moment that I realize what
drawer had been emptied into
that particular bag: the goodie
drawer.
Yes, that bedroom drawer
every single girl has that is kept
under lock and key and is full of
all sorts of unmentionable, pri-
vate items which are not general-
ly discussed in public.
My public was a car full of
men and I forgot to take out the
batteries.
Apparently, the pothole had
turned this particular toy on
mountain climber-mode. It start-
ed out low and worked its way
past medium and high before
reaching screaming orgasm-
mode.
Of course, the men all found
this to be hilarious. I was morti-
fied. It wouldnt stop. We hit
another pothole and thankfully it
shut off, or so I thought.
As luck would have it, it shift-
ed in the bag and turned on the
power to yet another goodie
drawer item, creating an epic
vibration war in this Hefty bag
full of embarrassment.
The boys were laughing so
hard that there were tears running
down their faces. We finally
arrived at the apartment and I
grabbed the bag and ran inside
with it, hiding it deep within the
caverns of my new apartment.
Lesson learned? Get more
boxes the next time I move, and
remove all of the batteries.

Melissa learned the hard way that its important to
empty the batteries out of certain things before you
move.

And the bee
says buzz...
With the recent franken-
storm that rolled through
this week, a lot of people
are upset with all of the
damage caused by high
winds and rain.
The annual hurricane sea-
son officially begins June 1
and ends November 30. The
peak of the season is now
through late October, so that
means we can still see a
few more big storms like
Sandy.
Hurricane Sandy was a
result of global warmings
extreme weather and was a
rare hybrid superstorm cre-
ated by an Arctic jet stream
from the north surrounding
itself in a tropical storm
from the south. Jeff Masters,
director of meteorology at
the Weather Underground,
says that global warming is
causing more and more
storms like this.
When you heat the
oceans up more, you extend
the length of hurricane sea-
son, Masters said. Theres
been ample evidence over
the last decade or so that
hurricane season is getting
longer starts earlier, ends
later.
Youre more likely to get
these sort of late October
storms now, and youre more
likely to have this sort of
situation where a late Octo-
ber storm meets up with a
regular winter low-pressure
system and gives us this
ridiculous combination of a
noreaster and a hurricane
that comes ashore, bringing
all kinds of destructive ef-
fects.
With the election just a
week away, Sandy is making
it clear that climate change
has been completely ignored
during this campaign.
This year, we had record
breaking temperatures across
the U.S., a record drought in
the corn belt, and now a
storm that has affected our
nations most populated ci-
ties, so you would think our
presidential candidates would
have mentioned global
warming. Federal disaster
declarations are up, winter
storm losses have doubled
since the 1980s and thunder-
storms last year caused over
$25 billion in damages.
As Sandy slammed the
East Coast, roads and sub-
ways closed, homes flooded,
and property damage from
wind and storm surges were
record breaking. Regardless
of the storms origin, meteo-
rologists are calling this the
worst storm the East Coast
has seen.
Author of The Ravaging
Tide, Mike Tidwell, thinks
the storm is a wake up call
for our government.
The irony is that the two
presidential candidates decid-
ed not to speak about cli-
mate change, and now they
are seeing the climate speak
to them, said Tidwell.
Whether our elected offi-
cials choose to acknowledge
global warming or not, we
can expect weather to con-
tinue in this pattern if noth-
ing is done to change it.

A tempest brews at Keystone
The Keystone Players will present Don Nigros rollicking comedy, The Curate Shakespeare As You Like
It, on Nov. 2-3 at 7:30 p.m., and Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. in the recently renovated Theatre in Brooks on Keystone
Colleges campus in La Plume. In this hilarious play, a small troupe of desperate actors tries to perform
Shakespeares romantic comedy, As You Like It. Because of the loss of its stars, the troupe, which now
consists of only seven actors and a stage manager, must attempt to play nearly 30 characters.
General admission tickets are $8; tickets for senior citizens and children under 12 are $4; and tickets for
Keystone College students and faculty are $1. To reserve tickets or attend the preview, contact Jane Hon-
chell at jane.honchell@keystone.edu.
Presided over by Kaitlyn Schott, top, as the Curate, cast members in The Curate Shakespeare As You
Like It also include, seated, from left, Josh Harris as William, and Jila Rusavage as Rosalind. Standing,
Patrick Burne as Amiens, Sarah Langan as Celia, Joseph Croft as the Clown, and Heather Bixby as Audrey.

A 20-SOMETHINGS WILD ADVENTURES
Justin Brown | Weekender Correspondent
Since it is Halloween, I decid-
ed to pick up a re-mastered
version of a game that scared
the crap out of me back in the
day: Doom 3 BFG Edition is
out, and it is just as scary as I
remember.
I didnt have a great computer
when Doom 3 came out in
2004, but I did get to play it on
the original Xbox in 2005. At
the time, not only was it terrify-
ing, it was one of the best look-
ing games I had ever seen.
Doom 3, as a first-person
shoot, had a compelling story
told mostly through cut-scenes,
emails, audio logs, and notes
you could pick up and read. The
story is similar to the first two
Doom games: your character,
a nameless marine, is sent to a
space station on Mars to discov-
er the cause of some disturb-
ances.
At first, it was simply reports
of strange noises and missing
scientists, but whats really go-
ing on is much more sinister.
When constructing the Mars
base, they unearthed - or un
Mars-ed - an ancient artifact.
Some of the scientists in the lab
tried to use the artifacts and
accidently unlocked the gates of
hell.
The problem is, not all of hell
broke loose. Only some of it did,
and it is much harder to contain.
The Mars base is now over run
with all sorts of different types
of demons, from imps, dog-like
brutes, and even huge dragon
demons. The thing that makes
this game really scary is the
great lighting and sound design
that make the claustrophobic
Mars base truly terrifying. The
lighting system was truly ahead
of its time in 2004 and it still
holds up to this day.
There are several really good
jump scares that havent been
seen much in recent horror
games. One of the best things is
the updated graphics make the
game look even better at 60
frames per second.
The BFG edition comes with
the Resurrection of Evil ex-
pansion pack, an all new eight-
level mini-campaign, plus
Doom 1, Doom 2, and most
of their expansions all for
$39.99. The special edition is
available on Xbox 360, PC, and,
for the first time, PS3. You get
the classic Doom experience
with all of the trophies and
achievements that werent
around during their origins.
Doom 3 carries a sense of
vulnerability lacking from other
current FPS titles. When your
health doesnt regenerate and
enemies dont drop ammunition,
it makes every fight a tense
experience. There is also a real
sense of exploration in the
game. You need health packs
and ammo, so you must explore
the environment as much as you
can. It is possible to beat the
game without exploring, but you
run the risk of missing out on all
of the good guns and hidden
collectables.
The game comes with some
agonizing load times, randomly
auto-saves taking you away from
the action, and removed custom-
ization over your controls, long
a staple of the FPS genre.
Overall, the game is just as I
remember. Doom and general
horror fans wont want to miss
this one.

Welcome to
your 'Doom'
Doom 3 BFG Edition looks sharper than ever.
Exploration is a necessary evil in the cramped quarters
of the Mars base that your Marine must explore.
Other than Mama June, the
woman whose womb is respon-
sible for developing the creature
known as Honey Boo Boo to full
term, theres only one woman I
would never want to date: Mother
Nature.
First of all, shes unpredictable,
and not in the good wake-you-
up-with-a-blow-job kind of way.
Second, shes bipolar, and not in
the fun Britney Spears-faking-an-
accent-and-believing-it kind of
way.
Finally, she ruined my reality
television show debut.
It was the summer of 2009.
The reality show I skipped two
months of school to film was
about to premiere on ABC pri-
metime, and I wanted to cele-
brate in style. I found a water-
front bar near my college to host
the occasion, agreeing to open
during the week especially for
me if I brought people who were
ready to drink a lot and make
them money.
To ensure the party was a
success, I hired a DJ and a band.
The party got off to a great
start as over 100 of my closest
friends and Facebook friends
came to celebrate my debut on
primetime television.
What was destined to be the
best party ever quickly turned
into the premiere party from hell!
We interrupt your regularly
scheduled program to bring you
this breaking news, the local
Pittsburgh meteorologist said just
moments before I Survived A
Japanese Game Show was set to
air. A severe flash flood and
tornado will be hitting the sur-
rounding areas.
To my dismay, the dude didnt
end on that note. Instead, he and
all of the other local stations
decided it was severe enough to
need continuous coverage.
Why cant you just put some-
thing across the screen like every
other time theres a flash flood
you a--hole! I screamed over the
phone to the news station in
between the tequila shots I was
downing to make me feel better
about my show not being seen.
They hung up.
I then realized I had a band, a
DJ, and a bar open just for me
and decided to make the best of
it. Even though I didnt get to see
the premiere of my show, I did
throw the biggest party anyone
ever had for a tornado.
As for Mother Nature, she
eventually went away. But like
every whore, they always come
back for disruption, like Hurri-
cane Sandy. And whats the best
way to piss off a temperamental
woman? Throw a party and act
like she doesnt exist.
So dont let the hurricane get
you down, unless its down on a
tap for a keg stand!
W
Justins poor reality TV debut? Blame it on the rain.
Bite me,
Mother Nature W

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Youre not a cold person, even though
some see you that way. Id argue that you
burn hotter than most. Antares, the red
supergiant star that forms the heart of the
Scorpio constellation, is about 700 times
the diameter of our sun. If our sun were
that big, itd engulf most of our inner solar
system, including Earth. Antares is one of
the brightest stars in the sky despite the
fact that its hundreds of times further than
many of them500 light years away. Its
only distance and difference that makes
you seem aloof. Those whove seen inside
that fiery heart of yours know better. In
order to improve not only your rep but that
of frosty Scorps everywhere, let a couple
more people touch the nuclear fires of
your love this week.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Between the mess in your head and the
knots in the brain of your chief love in-
terest, you may feel like theres no dancing
room. Your ankles keep getting tangled in
the thorny briars of your pasts, tripping
you up when youd like to move forward.
This isnt a hopeless situation, though.
Due to one of the karmic tax cuts the
universe is offering now, youre in luck;
only one of you is getting trapped at any
given time. The key to getting through this
mess is taking turns leading the waltz
which means letting go of any ideas about
whos in charge.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
The universe rarely outwits you. But
since you lost your cheat-sheet this week,
youre down here with the rest of us mere
mortals. Try to look at it as a good thing;
your tendency to know all the answers
ahead of time was not only obnoxious, it
kept you from developing yourself or
being challenged, at times. Getting an
honest score on lifes tests will not only
earn you valuable self-knowledge, it will
bring you closer to the real answers, the
ones that will mean something to you,
unlike those you lifted straight out of a
book.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
When was the last time you climbed a
tree? Or dug in the garden? It may be
getting too chilly for constructively root-
ing around in flowerbeds, but your soul
doesnt care about that. Ive detected an
unfortunate headiness pervading your life
lately. Besides sex, time spent actually
consciously inhabiting your body has been
depressingly small. Dont you remember
the realization you had last yearthe one
where your internal balance depended on
regular, meditative time communing with
nature, one way or another? Honor that
lesson, and youll find that the vast major-
ity of things that have been plaguing you
will simply slip away.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Somewhere along the way you got ac-
cess to the casino control room, the one
the rest of us are convinced exists. You
snuck into that backroom with walls of
surveillance monitors, where some Las
Vegas demigod decides whose slot ma-
chines hit the jackpot and whose dont,
and rigged the whole setup. Its the only
explanation for your continued good for-
tune, which defies reasonable odds. Al-
though people are happy for you, they
cant help feeling a bit of resentment. In
order to quash riotous discontent before a
full-scale revolution erupts, share the
wealth this week. Pour your clinking
windfall into the cups of your neighbors,
and theyll let you keep the secret of your
continued providence.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Its not like youre planning a trip over
the Niagara Falls in a barrel, or leaping the
Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. The risks
youre planning may fly in the face of
something at least slightly awesome and
powerful, but theyre not truly dangerous;
theyre more like confronting the phony
wizard of Emerald City, Oz. All you have
to do is hold your ground and be alert.
Dont let the nervous, nay-saying Munch-
kins dismay you. Theyre easily impressed
and deluded. Trust your vision to pierce
the facades of blustering illusion to see the
small, ridiculous people behind them, and
trust your ability to kick their asses.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Even though youre surprisingly open-
minded at times, youre not exactly noto-
rious for your flexibility. No one expects
you to put your feet behind your head or
bend over backwards. In fact, just the
opposite: People count on you to stand
your ground in certain territories, as un-
yielding and unchanging as a stone. Con-
sistency is a good thing, but come on. At
the very least, consider the facts. If your
position is well-founded, it wont be shak-
en by questioning or criticism. Blind faith
is for the weak. Changing your mind be-
cause of a well-reasoned argument? Thats
strength.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Luckily your heart has the regenerative
capabilities of a starfish. Not literally, of
course, but emotionally you are able to
restore it to wholeness, if you give your-
self enough time and loving care. Any
piece of a starfish with part of the central
body intact can grow into a whole animal.
Your heart is similar. It sucks that its been
thrashed to pieces at times. But losing
your ability to love would be a gruesome
victory for the thrashers. Dont let that
happen. Pluck out the biggest chunk, put it
somewhere with lots of sunlight and ad-
oration, and show off how little the hurt
can hold you back.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
After executing a series of sickening
belly flops and frustrated cannon balls,
your hesitant approach to the diving board
invites cringes all around. Its painful to
witness your self-torture. I hope youll
notice none of your die-hard fans have left
the bleachers, however; were still cheering
you on, albeit anxiously. Dont turn away
from the ladder thatll take you up to that
daunting 30-foot drop. Practice is practice,
even if youve only been practicing what
not to do. Try again. If not for yourself,
you owe it to us, and our faith in you. This
time, youll not only pull off the unques-
tionably difficult maneuver youve been
attempting, youll do it so precisely that
people wont believe what theyve seen.
They may, in fact, demand that you do it
again. Go ahead. I predict a perfect 10,
both times.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
No one hates suffering punishment
more than you do, especially when you
havent done anything wrong. Being pe-
nalized for your precociousness is so
unfairit takes you back to the days when
you were forced to wait some arbitrary
amount of time for responsibilities you
knew you could handle, like a drivers
license. Some of this unfair discipline
stems from a desire to do you good: Sure,
you can handle the responsibilities of
someone much older and wiser, but you
dont need to. Enjoy the moment for what
it is, and leave that s--t for later. By the
time you have to shoulder those burdens,
youll be glad you didnt way back when
you could have.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
What if there were witches? What if,
back during the witch-hunts in Salem,
Mass., and elsewhere, there were mutants,
people whod evolved past normal hu-
mankind to have paranormal abilities? In
that case, the Puritans of the era squashed
humanitys potential by rooting them out
and burning them. Keeping us ordinary.
Okay, its a ridiculously farfetched scena-
rio, but something like it (on a much
smaller scale) is playing itself out in your
life. Before you take the seemingly dan-
gerous elements of your current situation
and tie them to the pyre, ask yourself:
Could these things I fear actually be the
next stages of my personal evolution?
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Kiss a Pisces this week. Youre the sign
most able to understand their dualism and
persistent internal conflict, and therefore
commiserate. Surely you can remember
many moments when you froze while your
mental arguments played themselves out.
Paralyzed by indecision, you may have
wished that someone, anyone, would bail
you out and tell you which part of you was
right. Heres your chance. Your Pisces
buddies need you to clear up the myriad
tiny debates that make them just so in-
effective at times. Tell them what to do.
Itll be fun for both of you.
